Yesterday I slept in until 11:3OAM! This is normal for my hubby, but for me it was amazing! See I usually wake up pretty early. If I am lucky I can sleep-in till 8:30-9:00AM on the weekend. I haven't been able to break that bearer in a long time. It must have been due to my late night weekday projects of late. You see when the hubby is home we make dinner and watch TV and I normally fall asleep on the couch around 10. Since the hub has been on nights, I find myself doing little projects to keep me entertained like clean some random cubby, organized my scrap book crap, read some books or log into I-Tunes to buy music that I can work out to.
Anyhoo, when the hub realized it was 11:30AM he got up too. After making sure the dining room curtains were shut (cuz, last week a bunch of people visiting the open house next door got the pleasure of the hub and I dancing in our underwear - what can we say we like the opening bit of Different Strokes) we got the WiiFit out. The hub showed me how it worked and let me tell you, it is the best and most fun way to exercise. It weighs you and tells you your BMI. You can set goals and the thing tracks your daily progress. You can work out to Yoga, Arobics, Strength Training and something else which I forget.
The best thing about WiiFit is that you do a series of these 2-5 minutes exercises, so basically, I am never thinking "When will the torture be over?" Like I do when I am at the gym. There are fun programs like skiing, running these courses, hula hooping (which is so completely fun to watch someone else do), pretending to be a penguin and catching fish, etc. The yoga poses are really cool. Each exercise you do you earn points and coins. The coins go into a purse and the purse adds the coins which equal minutes you worked out. If you do good exercising and earning coins you unlock other fun work out games. The whole idea of WiiFit is to better your posture and strength. I had a WiiAge of 45 so I have some work to do. I can't say how much I like this Wii. This gaming unit was totally made for me. First time in my life I beat someone else at something (I totally beat the hubby at Ski Jump game). And you know what? My muscles actually hurt today so the thing really works!
The hub has had fun making more people (Mii's). Now I get to work out with Steve Rusca, Jack Black, some dudes from The Big Lewbowski and the entire cast of Lost (Hurley is funny). Apparently there is this site online that tells you how to make certain celebrities. I still can't get over how well he did Steve Rusca. I did step aerobics yesterday with Steve next to me! We find that it is harder to make girls then guys for some reason. I made Krueger yesterday, but unfortunately, the Wii doesn't have flannel so the Mii didn't look spot on.
Later in the afternoon after getting cleaned up from our workouts we headed out to see a movie. This week we decided to go see the new flick, THE HAPPENING and unfortunately, it totally sucked. I won't tell you why incase readers want to go see it but Shamalamadingdong gets worse with every movie he makes. He truly made his best film the first time out.
After taking in a movie we went over to Los Feliz and got tickets to a comedy club on Fletcher Street. While we were waiting we decided to grab some dinner at BIRDS. I never ate there before and the hub had only had take out from there but I decided to go there because it was the busiest place on the street (which hopefully equals good food). Luckily, I was right and boy, was the food ever tasty! It's always fun to go to a new restaurant and find good food. BIRDS is all about the chicken. You can have chicken a million different ways and it's all very tasty. At least, both dishes we got were tasty.
Finished up dinner about 9:40PM, just in time to stand in line for 20 minutes before getting into the comedy club. The club was small but it was no measure for the comedy which was really funny. I had never hung out on Fletcher Street. It seemed to be a hip and happening place with cute stores and interesting restaurants. It was fun to watch all the various people out and about. After having good food and seeing a good show we will most certainly be making another pit stop to Fletcher Street.
Well, I hear the hub moving around so he must be up. Time for us to log in some more exercise with the Wii.
Later dudes!
