Wii gets fit!

Ahhh, summertime. That time when you should allow your kids to rest, yet enrich their minds. OR if you live with me, a time to stay up late, eat junk food and play games when we are not out in the sun and fun. (Seeing as there has been very little sun, we are doing a lot more inside "fun" here.) And what is the power game of choice? Wii! (And, no, I do not work for them, am not being paid by them and am gaining nothing by telling you how much I enjoy the Wii we have. Just in case someone decides they want to get all up in my grill about it. I'm just saying, I like it. Mikey likey!)

Here is the Queen of Our Wii holding court.

I have to admit, there are times I kick the kids off to play myself. I have fun with the Wii Sports and the Wii Play. In fact, here are some pictures of the whole family playing at the beach when it was either raining or everyone was too sunburned to go back out into the blazing Florida sun. Do you Wii? What is your favorite game?

I think I am in love with a new game coming out soon. I learned about it from E3 and found this video of it from the conference at Gametrailers. I am so going to get my hands on this one: Wii Fit. Check out that yoga, baby. Now that will be worth all of the YouTube payback videos that my sons post of me. Because trust me when I say both of my boys will love getting even that way. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think. I think it is going to be a lot of Fit Fun!

In the extended entry you can see it in action.

In which I talk about one of my new addictions

I have these amazing friends, you see. They think it is fun to get me hooked on new games and new gaming systems. Take for instance these two game pushers, Erin of Queen of Spain--otherwise known as Queen Tureaud in Second Life and Karen of Vodkarella--otherwise known as Duchess Voom for instance. They are as bad as Jason and his WoW pushing. The problem with that? Jason got me HOOKED on World of Warcraft. (Still waiting for your next best thing, Jason, my friend!) NOW, these two ladies got me logged into Second Life to "just try it out" for a night. See? Game Pushing.

The first few outfits are free. Try this hair. Ohhh look, try this awesome dress. Look, you can ride this hoverboard.

Why is this a problem? Because I have work to do. And house stuff that is not going to do itself. And children that no matter how much I tell them to raise themselves, they just won't.

So now you get to hear about Second Life here, too. Yeah, you!

Oh, and my name. Tough one to figure out. Ready?

Catchy huh?

Tomorrow I will tell you how I was the pusher and got my entire family (all 18 of them) to play Wii and LOVE it. I am so going to ask for a commission when it comes to the consoles they are going to sell after this trip I took. Here is a sneak peek:

The safe way to play darts when you have a house full of people and a baby around.

And you thought the Wii could be boring. Does this look like they are bored? Humored and horrified, but not at all bored!
