Two-tenths of a pound.  Hey, I’ll take it.  =D  Anything downward is good with me!

Tonight was my daughter’s high school chorus concert.  I knew that I was going to be getting home pretty late for dinner so I made sure to eat before I left the house.  I had to be on the road by 5:15 so I started cooking at 4:30 this afternoon, made hamburgers on the stove, then split one in half and ate that, saving the rest for when I got home, which I figured would be after 8:30 or so.  Ha!  The concert was way longer than I expected, so I didn’t get home until after 10:00!

Today at work my friend/co-worker (the one that was in the video with me) wanted to get some exercise after lunch so we plugged in the DDR and put about 45 minutes in.  She was cracking me up!  She picked up the basics pretty quick (quicker than I did) and so we play on the same level.  Today she kept saying, “OMG I sucked! We gotta do that one again!”  We did one song about five times in a row and halfway through each time we’d both start laughing because the song was so fast and our feet weren’t cooperating.  LOL it’s a hoot!

When I first bought the DDR pad, I also bought the Ultramix 3 game.  Then when I bought the second pad, I also bought the original Ultramix and Ultramix 2.  Well, the original one is hard, really hard.  I’m so not ready for that yet.  I like UM2 a lot but the DVD I bought was used and it’s a little damaged.  Sometimes words don’t show up or they’re garbled and sometimes the dancer is just a pulsating blob.  It’s actually pretty amusing.

Anyway, there’s a song on the UM2 game that we danced to and so I had it stuck in my head most of the rest of the afternoon.  The song is called “Rubbernecking,” it’s an old Elvis song that I don’t remember hearing before I saw the TV show Las Vegas (Ohhhh I miss Josh Duhamel!).  Annnnnyway, this evening at the chorus concert, that was one of the songs they sang!  Geez, what a weird coincidence.
