I have always wanted to South Park myself but never got around to it until just now...when our Netflix instant queue stopped working and boredom set in quickly.

Get in the Game
Day: One Hundred and Fifty Three
Photo taken on Friday, January 1, 2011 in the living room at 641pm.
I have finally found the time to play EA Sports Active More Workouts which Steve bought me last Christmas. That's right. It has taken me over a year to play this game. I definitely like it even though I can't make my person a little bit curvier like I could in the last game. It has some different workouts but so far nothing is as excruciating as that damn rollerblading board on the first release.
I love interactive video games, especially these "get fit" ones because it doesn't feel like working out at all, more like just a fun way to pretend to actually do something without having to actually do something. It's perfect for rainy/snowy days or when a bunch of people come over and you want to challenge each other to a bowling match without having to put on someone else's stinky shoes. Sure there are some hard exercises (like when I had to do 100 jackknives in a row or 20 "leg ups" after doing a run outside) but it's mostly just about being a kid again.
Though Steve likes when I play these games because more often than not, the motion detector doesn't read me and he laughs as I shout at the TV while angrily flailing the controller about.

Return of Ghost Hand
Day: One Hundred and One
Photo taken on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 in the Surge kitchen at 228pm. (Pictured: Valerie, Cassandra, Maryann, and Tania)
Right now we are toasting Cassandra at her surprise bridal shower. Valerie does such a nice job decorating (she did mine too!) and the kitchen table has never looked so fantastic! Unfortunately, we did not give Two Little Red Hens enough time to bake an ordered cake so I quickly call another bakery I totally love: Dortoni's.
Steve introduced me to this bakery when we started dating and they never disappoint kind of like Cassandra's chocolate mousse cake today. Everyone starts raving about the flavor and that it is so fresh and moist. They then enquire where I purchased this heavenly cake and I tell them in Levittown; they are shocked I carried it in from there and quite frankly, I am too. My arms still hurt me from lugging it up 12 flights of stairs, balancing it on three trains (two of which I had to stand, no one offered me a seat, shocker!), and walking four (long) blocks and did I mention the cake is like fifteen pounds? It is definitely worth all the trouble because the entire 10" square goodness is gone before the day is over.
But then bossdad comes in to toast Cassandra as well and make the announcement that from now on, all cakes are to come from Dortoni's. Lucky me.
