Game Party is probably the cheapest game we have other than the Wii sports (free with the system) and it's one of my favorites. I really like Wii Sports too. Unlike with other systems, where if you don't like sports, you're probably not going to want to go out and buy a sports game; with the Wii it really doesn't matter if you like sports or not. The Wii, honestly, has a way of making everything fun for everyone.

The sports and the games featured in Game Party (darts, hoops, ski ball, table hockey, etc.) make you feel like you have skills. For instance, I'm 5'2" but I am the reigning champ on basketball. Who knew I was so good? Well now you know.

My husband wanted Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for the Wii so bad, I just had to get it. He had played Guitar Hero on other systems, over at other people's houses, and I'd always just watched. So, I never really thought I'd play it once we got it for the Wii, but I did and I liked it. Mind you, I suck royally but I'm getting better. It is a lot of fun just trying. I know, I'm never going to be Slash, but I've come to terms with that.

We went ahead and looked up the cheats on-line so that we could unlock all the songs and things because who knows how long it would have taken us to do it the way you're supposed to. I highly recommend that to anyone who isn't going to play it every day but wants the full choice of songs when they do play. Just google it.

We got Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party for the Wii a couple weeks back. I've been doing it every day for the exercise. They actually have an exercise mode that helps count calories. Also, this game allows you to use the remote and nunchuk so you're getting more of a full-body work-out than with the other DDR games.

I personally like this alot better than Guitar Hero because I'm a much better dancer than musician, that's for sure. The different levels make it easy for anyone. Well, I say easy as in it can be a lot of fun even if you're not that good. You work your butt off though, literally.

Well, my husband finally convinced me to watch Hot Rod with Andy Samberg. I like Andy Samberg on SNL so I thought maybe I'd like this movie. However, let me put it to you this way, if not for SNL's Bill Hader, I would have hated it. You know Bill Hader as the guy who plays Vincent Price on SNL. Well, he saved the movie for me, but barely mind you. It still wasn't my thing.

For one thing, Isla Fisher is also in it. You know her as the girl in every movie out right now. Enough already! Another thing about this movie is that for you've probably seen the first half hour of this movie on previews. It was so bad, I was wondering if I had seen it already and just didn't remember

My husband did like it but he should because it's a total guy movie.

The Celestine Prophecy. I don't know how to describe this book really. It's about a journey of discovery. I guess you could say it's like the book "The Secret" in that it makes you look at life in a different way.

Celestine Prophecy is the first of three. It is the best of the series. Though it is a work of fiction, it felt very believable. The book does leave you with real questions about what you think about life’s “coincidences” and about purpose. Any book that can make you think about deeper meaning, fiction or not, is worth the read.

The Tenth Insight. I thought this was a great follow-up to The Celestine Prophecy. Anyone who liked the first book should not be disappointed by this one.

I do watch America's Next Top Model and have since the beginning, but I cannot stand Tyra Banks. Now I'm hearing that she's some sort of gay icon and I don't get this at all. I find her to be just plain annoying. Mind you I'm not gay but if you are and want to explain it to me, please do. If I couldn't record the show and fast forward through her parts, I couldn't watch the show at all.

I was wondering why whenever I heard anything about this movie, all of the glory went to Casey Affleck instead of Brad Pitt and now I know it's because Casey Affleck did a great job, while Brad Pitt just didn't.

At the start of the movie, they tell you all of these idiosyncrasies about Jesse James (Brad Pitt) like how his eyes blink more than usual and how sick he was. But you don't see Brad Pitt blinking an excessive amount, nor do you really see much of the sickness that they're talking about. Now I get that he may have been hiding his sickness but to make a point of mentioning it and then not portraying it just confused me.

Other than that, like I said, Casey Affleck did a great job. The movie was solid and especially interesting for me considering that I've lived in many of the places that they mention in the movie. My family still lives in the town where he was born. They have a museum there. That being said, I've always been more of a Billy the Kid fan myself. I even went to Lincoln county to see Billy's old stomping grounds.

Ugh, I've had this show recording since it started but never watched it because frankly, I can't stand Oprah. Yes I said it and I know it's like blaspheme for some, but she is not a God people. I actually used to love her as much as anyone else. This is back when she was one of us and had problems we could relate to. When she had weight issues and didn't preach about losing weight when anyone could lose weight if they had a personal trainer and a personal chef.

Back before her show was just about her sitting down with her rich friends and talking about their great lives. I swear if I have to hear her mention John Travolta again, I'll die. Speaking of which I have this theory that she's a secret-Scientologist because she is friends with so many of them.

My final straw was when she did the traveling show with her friend Gayle, like we care anything about Gayle. Before they went to break they set it up like, "see what Oprah hasn't done in 25 years". Then we come to find out she hasn't pumped her own gas in 25 years. I knew right then, that she is no longer one of us. Not even close. So, I took her show off my DVR and never looked back.

Anyway, I've steered off course. About The Big Give, I, finally, got through an episode and I'm not impressed. All I could think the whole way through was, "Can they tell people that they're doing an Oprah show?". If they can, then the whole thing is a farce because even homeless people would give their last bread crumb if Oprah's name was mentioned. If the purpose is to show us what we can do to give, then it's misleading. I mean I'm all for giving but I just wish Oprah's name wasn't attached.

I don't remember how or why but I got a free Schick Intuition Razor. This particular razor has a moisturizing bar around the top. While it was good for the first few days; once the moisturizing bar wears down, you're left with this big, awkward razor.

Disappointed, I wrote Schick and they ended up sending me a coupon for another free one, just in case the first one was faulty. It was not. I just don't like the razor. However, I was impressed by their customer service.

I have the Fisher-Price Rainforest bouncer, playard and the Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym and my baby really enjoys them.

I actually use the playard (playpen) as a changing table. Then, when he wants to play, I just snap off the attachment. It's great!

The bouncer stays in the office and is great for when I'm working.

The Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym is just great all-around because you can attach whatever toys you want to it and he can just play on that all day and never get bored if I let him.

The only problem I have with these, like with all the toys is that the songs get old fast. I know we considered buying the Rainforest swing but we use that to help him go to sleep and the songs are just too upbeat. Now that we have to hear the songs play in his other Rainforest items, I'm really glad we went with another swing.

I had signed up for emusic.com, advertised with Netflix, where you can get 35 free music downloads. It sucked. I mean I like to think I have a wide variety of music knowledge and taste, but the choices there were too obscure. They didn't have any big name artists that I wanted and not alot of middle of the road artists either. I ended up cancelling before the trial even ended and still had songs remaining because there just wasn't enough selection to make it worthwhile. Personally, I don't have hours to spend searching for decent songs.

I'm 30 and the last time I enjoyed gaming was with the original Nintendo (NES). However, the Nintendo Wii has changed that. It is the perfect system for me and my family. It is wholesome fun, not like the shooting games that I might enjoy if I were a teenage boy. After playing some of the games, you feel like you've had a workout and it's not just that your thumbs are sore like with the old games.

Everyone who has played our system, has ended up buying one of their own because it truly is fun for everyone. My mom has played it, my husband's parents. People we never thought would enjoy video games do with this system. I just love it and I'm so glad my husband stood out in the cold for hours to buy it. Even he says it was totally worth it.

Okay, I wrote Avent bottles because my husband and I are both unhappy with their products. Everytime we go to shake the bottle, formula goes everywhere. Then when it seems like we've got it, formula comes pouring out, down our baby's face.

Their response:

Thank you for contacting us about your AVENT Feeding Bottles. We have some advice that may help resolve the problems you have experienced.

The connection between the bottle and the nipple is very important as it provides a seal and vacuum to avoid leaking. Please be aware that over tightening of the screw cap should be avoided and that the nipple should be wet or damp during connection to ensure the best seal. This is achieved by wetting the skirt on the nipple and snapping it into the ring, making it upright and ready for use.

Additionally, we also suggest thoroughly cleaning the neck of the bottle when using formula as any residue of powder could obstruct the anti-colic valve. In this case, it is more advisable to mix the formula prior to putting it into the bottle, making sure the powder is completely dissolved.

While all of that sounds fine and good, the fact of the matter is when you have a screaming baby demanding a bottle and fast, you don't have time to do all of these steps to ensure a perfect seal. So they can suck it. I won't be using their products anymore.

Here are my top 3 guys who happen to be my top 3 in general. When they were first showing the contestants who had made it, I thought the women looked strong but I've since changed my mind. I actually love the men this year. They make me glad that my family forced me to watch, I'm sorry to say.

David Cook is from my state, Missouri but on his myspace it shows that he lived in Tulsa Oklahoma. That's OK with me because I used to live there too.

Michael Johns is an Aussie and I love Aussie's.

Jason Castro, he's a genuine sweetheart; unlike David Archuleta. Something about him comes off as cocky. Maybe he should be because he's so young and so good but I'd rather him just be openly cocky than secretly so.
