My Life

Sorry for the delay in posts. Kaelyn has exams this week, so we've been studying for her tests. The same girl who can tell me Smelser's Theory of Collective Behavior can't remember her daily chores. I'll never understand it. Anyway, I decided to let you know some things that are going on in my life.

If I had had time to put a picture here, it would be of blue painter's tape on the cabinet doors under my kitchen sink. You might be wondering why the doors are taped, or thinking that it must be to keep the kids out. WRONG! I have tape on our kitchen cabinet doors to keep the CAT out. That's right...I said(wrote) it...the CAT. We keep his treats under the sink, and he has figured this out...and he opens the door himself and gets in there! I have stopped giving him treats because he doesn't deserve them. When you walk past him, he tries to bite you and sometimes succeeds. Then I was sitting in the kitchen two nights ago, and Kaelyn comes walking in yelling at the cat for biting her and attacking her feet. Then she walks over to the cabinet and reaches in to get his treats out. I asked her what she was doing and her obvious reply was giving him treats. I asked her why she would be giving him treats when he was just attacking her. Her reply was that he was attacking her to GET treats. And now it all makes sense. She has been rewarding his bad and biting behavior this whole time. I let her in on this new development and she actually looked a bit embarrassed by the whole ordeal. After all, what would Smelser think?!

Secondly, I received a Wii Fit Board and Game for my birthday. I finally cracked it open today. To get started they have to do a physical test and so forth. I did this test and it registered that I was overweight. As it did this, my Mii character grew chunky around the thigh area. My first thought was, "Wow, how did they know it was all in my thighs?" My second thought was something about being embarrassed that Rory and Logan were witnessing all this. They didn't say anything. They just looked at me trying to see if the controller was going to go flying or something. Then when they did their tests, they cheered and hollered when it said they were in a healthy weight range. When I tried to tell my "supportive" husband, he hugged me while laughing hysterically at me. When I went through the story slowly and detailed, he laughed harder. SO...it is now my mission to prove my Wii wrong!

Thirdly, (and this ties in nicely with secondly) I have joined a competition at my gym called "I Lost It At The Gym." (catchy, huh?) You get put on a team and get points for every work out, challenge, and so forth. So far Kevin and I are on the winning team, no thanks to us. Between Rory's strep throat and this weather, who knows how many points we'll get for our team. The competition lasts for 8 weeks. I'll let you know how it turns out.

This is My Life.
