Some of you may know that the hubby has an obesssion with playing WOW (World of Warcraft) and it drives me crazy to no end because I can’t get his immediate attention when I want to. I’d prefer him play “pause-able” (not a word, I know but why not make it up) games. Instead of hearing the typical, “Hold on… I can’t stop right this minute”. I admit sometimes I yell bloody murder so that’ll get his attention, muaha. At least it works…when I don’t overdo it!

A few days ago his computer broke… I don’t know why or what happened. He’s been using his old laptop and doesn’t have much patience with it.

Hubby: “I’m tired of playing WOW…and am actually thinking about cancelling my subscription”

Me: “OMG..I never thought you’d say that…ever!”

Hubby: “Don’t push it… I said I’d think about it”

Me: “I’m sooo excited. What are you going to do instead?”

Hubby: “I want to buy video games for my Xbox”

Just grrrrrreat! Later he admitted that he’d like to do more and discover a new hobby. Lately we’ve been exercising and hiking and discovered a new love for hiking now.

Sunday we decided to invite my parents to go hiking with us (saving that complicated & difficult mountain for another time). We all really had a wonderful time “getting away from life” and just hiking to the top. It’s a wonderful feeling of accomplishment at the top. I’m proud of myself for getting to the top AND bottom with a full bladder!!

Dad & Mom…and Dad’s pretending to falling off.

Me & the Hubby!

I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to run the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll 1/2 marathon January 2010. It seems like the Hubby and Dad are interested in doing it with me. It feels wonderful to have a great support system and those who want to get involved with my journey. Right now I’m focusing on losing weight and will start training later in the Summer or Fall. Amy, the running machine, will be living with us this Summer so I’m looking forward to having a free “personal trainer”.

Before we know it… Summer will be here!
