WiiFit: So easy a stripper can do it

Can we talk about how terrible I am at the "sport" of hula hooping? I know what you're thinking, I didn't even know it was possible to be bad at hula hooping, I mean, tiny children can do this. But somewhere during my 25 years of extreme clumsiness (my family's nickname for me has always been Lumpy, because everytime they looked at me, I had a new lump from falling), I lost my Shakira hips.

I only discovered this because I was playing my WiiFit last night (which is AMAZING, by the way) and the little game told me to hula hoop to the left instead of the right.

What? Is this little machine kidding me? Everyone knows you can only hula hoop in one direction. This game is obviously meant for Latin dancers or strippers or something, not for horribly uncoordinated people like yours truly. So since my husband has laughed at my attempts at hula hooping, I thought I would pose the question: Can you hula hoop? And if so, are you ambihoopstrous?

If you're lucky and he can hold a camera steady while laughing, I'll have Mitch video the travesty that is my hula hooping. Stay posted!

The Great Ice Storm of 2009

Truth be told, this will probably be the only ice storm we have this winter, but I enjoy the added drama (what, me?).

Because it hardly ever snows and rarely ices in the great OK, the roads are still in terrible shape, even though they should be salted by now.

Also people can't handle the ice and are driving crazy, absolutely crazy, y'all. It's like you have two options: prove you're a badass by driving 90 or drive like you're losing the Retirement Home Grand Prix. Luckily I have a third option: Boston Terrier chauffeur.

OMFG, a picture! And it's a dog driving a car! I'm predicting about three million new followers today.

My triumphant return

Yes, I'm calling this a triumphant return. Yes, I only posted twice before my tragic exit from blogging, but this is all about perseverance, people. (Let's note that I spelled that so badly the first time that spellcheck couldn't even figure out what I meant.)

But no one is here for correct spelling and punctuation. Again, no one is really reading here at all. So why post? It's my official delurking day! I read gobs of blogs and since I was called out, I've got to show my online presence.

Here's my overview for all you bloggers who are going to wonder why I'm blogstalking you. I am newly 25, newly married, newly employed. I'm also newly addicted to Mormon women bloggers, and no, I don't need/want help. I actually think it's a lovely addiction to have. Although it has made me want to buy everything Anthropologie makes...strange. I love my husband, my dog, Oklahoma State University, being athletic and cheese. Seriously. I have an unnatural love for cheese.

That's the important stuff. And yes, I definitely put cheese love in the important category. So to all those I've been lurking on, hi. You're great. Thanks for letting me learn so much about you!
