Searching for A House

We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]

The Newest Epidemic – Wii-itis

Posted on28 Dec 2009

Three days after Christmas and 10 hours of Wii later, I can hardly move.  I’ve found muscles I didn’t even know I had.  Playing with my kids I’m beginning to think this may be a little dangerous.  Arms flying, feet swinging.  While searching for different games online I came across a lot of articles about the dangers of playing the Wii.  When you’re out in public this week take a close look around you.  Do you notice an inordinate amount of black eyes, arms in slings and limping?

    Funny stuff. I remember when I was a kid reading video game magazines. Back then, game systems like the Wii were science fiction and I couldn’t wait for them to come into existence. Now I secretly want one, but I need somebody to play it with so I don’t feel foolish jumping all around for those games.

    We’ve been playing a lot of Wii too lately and each day I wake up and feel like I ran a marathon the day before. Either I’m really out of shape or the Wii is a pretty good work out.

    My ass is killing me from Wii bowling. And today I kept thinking I was having a heart attack until I realized my upper body is KILLING me from playing Raving Rabids II. I’m glad it’s not just me.

    My wrist always gets a little tender from me trying that super crazy hook while I bowl. Lately it’s been the thumbs after I got Super Mario Brothers Wii. Makes me think of the old days of blistered thumbs. Great article.

    Definitely in your camp this week -discovered archery and billards and… LASER~HOCKEY! An even better workout than walking the dogs, but with a limp and lame arm to show for it.

    We had a good giggle when we read this article! My husband got me Wii-Fit for Xmas and my muscles are in agony!! The point about the confused dogs was the best.

    It’s our poor dogs that suffer the most Wii injuries, as they’re constantly getting kicked in the head when anyone is using the Wii Fit. In over a year now, they haven’t learned to stay out of the way.
