kyemom - I thought about getting DDR, too, but the setup is so expensive for just one game that I decided against it (for now). Let me know how it works for you, though - I'll be interested to hear what it's like from someone who is not 15! ;)

Ruth - take it easy! Make your cousins do the dishes or lift heavy things or something - they can chip in to help their cuz while you're recovering!

HH - congrats! What an honor! I'm sure you'll do a lovely job.

djett - I've never heard of that game - how's it work?

Schatzi - I wish it was balmy here - it's been in the 30's and low 40's here - plus windy! Yesterday afternoon weather.com said it was 42, but felt like 32 - 14 mph winds and 49% humidity - it was chilly!!

Mama - Yay on the carpet find! Too bad for me that the carpet capital is clear on the other side of the continent from me!

Everyone else - howdy-doodly-doo!

Me - DS is away at daycare, so I'm planning on accumulating my resources and materials for my city design project. I'm designing the transportation system first, as the backbone of the city, keeping evironmental issues in mind all the while. It should be interesting, but I wish I'd had time to start this earlier. I hate to be rushed, and I'm still distracted by my recent shock so I'm not working at 100% of my capability. I have this project to complete, an essay to revise, a play, 3 essays, and several discussion papers to read and comment on, and a final exam - and I'm done! But - I only have a few days to do all this! Bye-bye sleep, helloooooooooo coffee!

Good afternoon all- I am currently knee deep in research ...yuk I have a 12-15 page paper due in less then a week..so i have reached my panic state!

I have decided that I am going to maintain for now on with the intention of losing my last 5 pounds slowly....I have uped my excercise to around an hour a day with weights and lots of cardio...and so far my body seems to really like 135 so thats fine with me. ...I cant beleive my sucess at this diet..and I really want to thank this forum for helping me get through all the rough times...- (not trying to get sentimental but I couldn't have done it without you)

anyways- Still no news on my brother...having thanksgiving without him was very strange...I am praying everyday that he shows up for Christmas or that we atleast find out some sort of information....

I Hope all of you have a great rest of your day :)

H-KO- It's a game from xavix. It uses a sensor placed on the floor and the gloves have a reflective strip to read your movements. It's a lot of fun. There is also another game called J-Mat. It has a mat that you step on (sort of like those dance mats for playstations that is so popular). It works you out more than you realize. I got the boxing game b/c I thought DH would enjoy it. He loved a similar game when we went to an arcade with the kids. I figured that anything that got us off the couch was a good thing!
