Wii Diary


I finally got a Wii for Christmas- yay!! Since then I have tried out the games that came with it. My favorite is bowling, followed by tennis and baseball. Haven't done the boxing yet but it's on my to do list.
Yesterday, I got my first new game Samba De Amigo. I picked this one because I live music and I wanted something like DDR but without having to move my feet unless I wanted. The object is to shake your controller like a maraca at the right moment.
My 5 year old was intrigued and went from watching me,to dancing along with me,to hijacking the game. She can play the game no problem and it was the first thing she wanted to do this morning when she woke up. We have started out on easy level and are using the Pose settings- will try the Hustle settings sometime soon. My husband even tried it and had a good time. Thankfully I am better at it than he is- I was worried because he kicks my but in bowling and baseball and I was looking to save face.
My Wii fit arrived today so I will give it a whirl and report back.

Dear Olive Garden


Yes I visited you last night at Utica Square- the fancy area of Tulsa because my 16 year old was missing you. Me- I never missed you but I wanted to make her happy.
Your hostess was kind enough to send 3 tables to the same waiter at the same time instead of spreading us out. Looking at your menu I couldn't find anything that interested me but I settled for ravioli in marinara sauce.
I patiently awaited the salad and bread sticks which arrived after about 10 minutes of ordering our food. Your service was quite slow and the food was mediocre. The only redeeming quality was desert.
Do not be sad- the waiter managed the best he could and didn't get the shaft on the tip. I really wanted to tell the huge line that had materialized when we exited to go somewhere else but I bit my tongue. Hopefully I will not see you again any time soon...
