birthday presents

I finally got my snuggie!  And it's huge.

It always, always pays to follow the list.  Each year, I put out a joint birthday/Christmas list to save time.  The two dates fall so closely together, that I might as well just write down everything once.

For my birthday last year, CJ got me a framed picture of the Monet painting he proposed in front of.  I'd be surprised if he'd ever be able to top that gift.

I think he knows that too, so he went off the list, and got me a snuggie, a scarf from the Gap (which I had conveniently emailed him a link to back in August), and Wii Fit.

Can I just say how much I love Wii Fit?  (Surprised both of us.)  It's not as good as going to the gym and working up a really good sweat, but it's better than just vegging out on the couch.  Anyone who has already created a mii character on our Wii is on there as well, working out with me.  Several months ago, our minister had a sermon series called "Bii Fit" and the graphics were mii characters of the ministers and then Jesus (since that was the real point of it).  So CJ created a Jesus character on our Wii.  Probably strange, yes, but on the other hand (and this is probably strange too), it's a little comforting having Jesus work out with you -- jogging next to you, doing step aerobics right next to you, cheering for you.  I love the yoga (I feel like I actually do it halfway right with this), and the hula hoops, and even the step aerobics.  So anyway, if you have a Wii, go out and get the Wii Fit and thank me later.

Oh, and I don't want the FCC to come after me, so Snuggie, Gap, Nintendo, or any other company mentioned in this post didn't pay me to say a thing about their products.  In fact, my money paid for these things and like a good consumer, I wanted to share my experience with others.  (Is that a good enough disclaimer to keep me from getting fined?  Ridiculous.)
