Wii FIT!!!

This is my early Christmas present(really early actually, I got it Thanksgiving weekend). I LOVE it. Not only is it fun, but I actually do get a workout. That will probably change once I am actually in shape more, but for now it works wonderfully.
I have a Wii challenge to you who have wii fit. Lets see who can get the best score on the soccer ball game. One week from today, I will post my score, and you post yours. Just for fun, k?
Let us begin!!

Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband




Have you ever been to a Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband concert? They are loads of fun to watch! Ryan and I have been to two of their concerts and they always surprise us with something we have never seen before. This last time was the whole band playing Low rider on one bass! This video is from someone elses concert(they played it better at ours). It doesn't start at the beginning. What they did is one person started just playing around, and then they gradually came up and took over a string to play and finally the drummer joined in. Enjoy!

Health


When you get the desire to be more healthy, especially in terms of food, what do you do? Do you go to a library and look at books? Or search the internet? If so, do you follow the advice of "the China Study" and stay away from all animal protein especially milk? Or do you follow the many books on the benefits of milk. Or do you follow the food pyramid? Is organic really organic? Are we all going to die because of our greasy food? Are we going to have health problems because we eat vegetables sprayed with pesticide? Are we going to die of malnutrition if we become animal friendly and thus vegetarian? Or should I go the Atkins way and eat all the meat and fat I want?
Seriously, I have found only contradicting articles and books on healthy eating and I am at a complete loss on what is good for me and what isn't! Each person has also backed up their information with research to "prove" they are right, but they can't all be right!
The most I can do, is compare them to the Word of Wisdom and go from there.
Anyone have any tips?

Takamine

As funny as I found those pictures(see previous post), I admit it scared me a bit every time I would go to my blog. They are rather startling pictures, so I decided I better post again so that I can have relief to my eyes.
Ryan and I have a guitar that we REALLY like and are going to sell our two old guitars and buy this new one (eventually). It is a Takamine. Surprisingly, it is even a fairly low price. We looked at some $2000 guitars that we didn't like nearly as much! It is like candy to our fingers! So sweet and tasty. Wonderful sounds that can be made, freedom of expression and imagination, what could be better? The picture makes it look purple but it is black. Here it is:

6 String Acoustic / Electric

Body Shape: NEX C/A
Rosette: Concentric Rings
Top: Quilt Maple

Back: Quilt Maple
Sides: Quilt Maple
