You know you're out of shape when you're sore after playing Wii Boxing.

You also know you're out of shape when you begin to wonder if round is an appropriate shape for a human.

Purdue is a 9 seed? That's great. They should be able to beat Arizona and then the next thing you know, we're partying like it's 1993.

Waltz part 2 is tonight. After tonight, we have two Cha-Cha sessions after this, which I will try not to pay too much attention to. I would like to focus more on dances that we would use more often, like the Foxtrot and the Waltz. If we could have 4 weeks each on those two, I'd be happy.

As it is, we're going to need to sign up for private dance lessons. Yes, I said need. We need it.

I just finished an exciting night hanging out with the Roomba. It dutifully cleaned the downstairs in preparation for Thursday and Friday nights, when I'm having Lindsay's parents, and my family over for dinner.

It certainly makes it easier on me. Granted, it doesn't do quite as good a job as a person would do, but it's a freaking robot, and it's cleaning my floors. How cool is that?

There's nothing better than taking a test with multiple choice answers that are not based on fact, but rather are based on opinion. Hooray for marketing bull crap.

Answer the following questions for me.

Technological advancement has had a positive impact in all of the areas except:

A. Increasing productivity
B. Increasing human life spans
C. Enabling more output of goods and services with fewer workers
D. Sustaining human life on Earth

Which freaking answer is correct? In my opinion, and I wrote this on the worthless exam, ALL of the answers have been positively impacted by technology. Not to mention, that choices A and C are exactly the same and choices B and D are exactly the same.

Here's another wonderful question.

The media has definitively done all of the following except:

A. Reported ethical missteps in the media on a regular basis
B. Reported political ethical violations more than business ethical violations
C. Increasingly been focused on ethics in business
D. Reported business ethical violations more than political ethical violations

Notice how it says DEFINITIVELY? Doesn't that mean that one of the choices should definitely be correct while the others are not? What the hell are you supposed to answer? How are any of those based on FACT and not strictly a value judgment? Different people could choose each of those separate answers and still be correct.

This class is incredibly worthless and does nothing but piss me off.

Today we did work on guest list and stole an idea from Melissa and Justin - the engagement party. We're going to have it on March 31st. It'll probably be family and bridal party and their guests only, as that alone will already be 60 people or so. We obviously don't expect everyone to make it, but we'll do it anyway. It's going to be at my house, so we're going to do an open house style so that people can come and go as they please.

Another productive wedding planning weekend. We're ahead of schedule now, even though we only have 4 more months before the wedding.

Yesterday we checked out Macy's to see if we wanted to register there -- we don't.

Today we booked our honeymoon. We're going to Couples Swept Away in Negril, Jamaica.

I also finalized my tux arrangements. I'll be sending out info this week. I chose After Hours because they're available in every city that has a groomsmen.

We also finished our registries. We're registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Target. For all of my multi-millionaire friends, you can buy out our whole registry if you like. We'd be happy! Feel free to check out all the exciting things at http://www.lindsay-and-tim.com/registry.asp

Play a little game to see if you can figure out what I've registered for and what Lindsay has registered for. I'll give you a hint... if it's Wii related, it was probably me.

I just bought a Nintendo Wii. I've been looking for one since Thanksgiving, and when I came across one today, I pounced. Never mind the fact that I have no money for such things. I bought it anyway. I should arrive within a week.

Yay for frivolous spending!
