Wii Exercise

Who's that with the Wii Bowling high score? Me! I beat the hubby!!!!



What's this? Proof that Wii can cause you to break a sweat AND punishment for my mother who said to me this morning, "You haven't really been blogging much lately." Love you Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

I'm pretty sure that you didn't specifically tell me not to give you a birthday blog...no presents, no flowers, no dinner...you didn't say no blog! I love you!

I may have issues...

Reasons why I think I might be a little OCD...



Thank you to the hubby for putting my new tags on my car...I will cope with this, I promise.

Poker Night

I bought in for $9 - oh yeah!


I'd like to state publicly that both my mother and I LOVE Gut, 3s wild. My uncle and husband continually make fun of us for always selecting the same game. They have a new one of their own creation (it's some variation of baseball) that they always want to play that is far too complex for my mother and I. Funny thing? Neither of them have ever won their own game! I think we're even.

She Ate the WHOLE Thing!

My mother, the Queen of Smart Ones, eats like a bird. I have have historically been able to out eat her without even getting full. She also, historically, rarely eats out, and when she does it's Olive Garden.

When in Colorado, I made it my mission to get her to try as many different restaurants as possible. We ate at Macaroni Grill, Chili's, Red Robin, Mimi's Cafe, and BJ's - all places she had never been. We also tended to order the same meal - oh no, another sign I'm turning into my mother ;)

At BJ's we ordered their version of a BBQ Chicken Salad. It was quite tasty and rather large. Here's the evidence that ONE of us cleaned their plate:

I'll give you a hint - I wasn't the one ;)

ILY Mom!! When are we going to Red Robin again? (That's her new favorite place).

Malibu Barbie

A week or two ago (the then very pregnant) Bianka and I had the following conversation:

Bianka: Is your mom's last name still Dahl?
Me: Yes...?
Bianka: How long have I known you?
Me: At least 5 years.
Bianka: It just occurred to me this morning that your mom is Barbie Dahl!
Me: And up until last weekend, she drove a Malibu...so she was Malibu Barbie!

Which then led me to share the following story....
Shortly after my mom bought her first Malibu, my sister and I bought her a license plate frame that read "Malibu Barbie". One day my mom was sitting at a traffic light when a motorcycle cop pulls up next to her and taps on her window. She rolls down her window...

Officer: Is your name Barbie?
Mom: Yes
Officer: (chuckling) And you drive a Malibu?
Mom: Yes, and my last name is Dahl!
Officer: (laughing) Have a great day! (and he drives off)

This is a picture of my mom on her birthday (I won't say which birthday, I'm not that mean) and YES she is in a dog house. I had a perfectly nice picture of her up, but she called me and told me to take it down. I warned her that if I did I'd be putting this one up. Enjoy!


I love you Mom!
