Okay, ya'll. My mom said this was some cheap entertainment and she was right. I love seeing the sisters' witty and clever remarks towards each other. Why watch TV when I can blog? Now, I know where my dad gets his wit and his "smarty pants" attitude.
A word to each of ya'll-
Patti, glad you could join the family on here.

Megan, I'm so excited for you! Living in New York will be quite the experience I'm sure. Find a hot guy who works on Wall Street and make sure he has a cute brother too because I do plan on coming to visit.

Karen, there is no shame in drinking Route 44's. We are very open about our Sonic addiction so no need to hide it. My mom is the worst anyway and I'm sure she has you beat. I'm going to say she had 4 Routes the other day...yeah, I'm pretty sure she did actually.

Honey Gail, what is this Wii exercise game you speak of? I didn't know exercise could be fun. Please inform me. The only time I've ever played Wii was when this five year old boy humiliated me and beat the tar out of me at tennis. I guess video games are not my forte.

Grandma, I just love your reminiscent stories on here. Tell the story of the turtles! I think I've heard it but I need to hear it again.

Carmen, how is the reunion planning coming along? When are you coming back to Dallas for a visit? I know I shouldn't mention this but there is this Mexican restaurant that just opened up the street that we used to go to all the time when they had another one down in Addison. I got really excited when I saw they brought a location up here because they have this cheese dip that is just to die for. So, forget the diet, come to Dallas and play and we'll take you to get some good grub. That goes for all of you! It's summer time and we want some house guests up here! PRONTO!


As far as me being on a diet...I'm not really. It's hard when my mom buys me a pint of my favorite ice cream ever and FORCES me to eat it. She's so cruel.
I do walk at night though so at least I get SOME exercise. Of course, the last week was a total waste since I ate that ice cream. It was worth it though.

Love to all,

Erin

Erin, The Wii Fit allows you to use the kid's game to do yoga, aerobics, strength training, and balance games. By standing on the balance board provided, the game decides whether you are doing the moves correctly. I've been told that the computerized loud-mouth can be a bit of a drill sergeant.....best to stay on the beginner's level. Of course, they continue to be sold out here in the Little Rock area, so I have been unable to try it out.

That sounds like some fun exercise. I'll have to see you in action on this thing. Have you checked eBay? What about Craigslist? I bet you could find it on either of those sites. Good Luck!

Craigslist will someday save the world. I live and swear by it. You will find a Wii Fit on Craigslist, I'm sure.

Look, Megan's message came from "Anonymous". How'd she do that. There may be times when I WANT to be anonymous.

Look below just above the link that says "PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT".
it gives you an option to publish the comment anonymously, you sneaky sneak.

Carmen ... AKA Sneaky Sneak ... it won't do you one bit of good to post anything anonymously. We're gonna KNOW it's you. If you do nothing more than recite the GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, we'll nod our heads and say, "un huh, it's our Carmen ..."

Erin ... I really should start a whole separate blog for telling beloved stories about the olden days and about how precious all my babies were. That way, the large number of people who love me and truly get a kick out of hearing me repeat those tales time-after-time-after-time could click a button and be entertained ... and the one or two family members who frown on such foolishness could simply refrain from clicking the button.

A perfect solution. Peace and tranquility all around.

The turtle story will be number one on the agenda! (smile)
