Ewwwww, snow is a four letter word. No gain is very good. Have you decided on the Wii?.....Bren  

Yeah Bren. I just need to see if I have enough money after the 1st because between the wii and wii fit plus it'll run me about 300. I may have to break into my piggy bank lol! 

Yeah Ruby it cost a little, but if you went to a gym it would cost you that for a year. The Wii will last a lot longer....Bren Also the gym has a lot of germs. Ewwwwwww 

Here in Seattle everyone used to prattle on about how nice it would be to have a white Christmas. Then in 2008, we got about a foot of the white stuff on Christmas Eve. Since then, nobody here is dreaming of a white Christmas. 

I know why too...because they don't have the equipment to get rid of the white stuff. On Queen Anne hill they closed down alot of major streets when I was growing up, so, people couldn't get to work or school. Lots of skis and sled came out and everyone had a fun week of playing in the snow. One side of Queen Anne hill is called the counterbalance. It got it's name from a trolley that used to pull on trolley up the hill when the other was coming down, thus called the counterbalance. Where do you live at in Seattle? 

Yeah Bren, gym memberships lol. If I could do anything, I'd swim but there's no indoor pools here. There's a small fitness place but this time of year I'm lucky to get out of my jammies lol. I figure the wii is doable. And if it's fun I won't get bored with it so it should be a good investment. 

Oh yeah.. the big whiteout in Seattle. My daughter works as a nanny and I definately got some calls from her, especially at night. It seems that the well-to-do often prefer to live on hills. That's why she had to get a suv! 

Well I have had mine over a year now and sometimes I can't wait to get in there and do something. Now that it is hard for me to get out it really comes in handy for the boring days.  

I'm really looking forward to getting the wii and keeping more active. I want to do this! <smiles> 

You won't regret it one bit.... 

Ruby, if I don't get a chance to talk before then - let me wish you a Happy New Year. Treat yourself right now (you deserve it) and get the Wii. You will not regret it. 

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year Ruby! 

Ruby hope your New Year is Happy:) TOWANDA!!! 

I had a really great New Year Holiday. Thank you all for your well wishes! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
