Dance Dance Revolution

Lately we have been playing Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Its a really fun game and I love the classic Mario tunes remixed into dance songs. Apparently lots of people have lost weight from playing DDR. There is a cool calorie tracker feature in the game which lets you track how many calories you've burned based on your weight. I think I have actually burned more than it says I have though because I move my arms around as well as my feet.

Today was a very trying day of teaching. It makes me want to stop teaching altogether. At least tomorrow and Saturday are better days. Last night I accomplished so much! I reorganized the laundry area and did about 7 loads of laundry. I tried cleaning the oven with a steam cleaner thing from Linens N Things, but the gunk didn't really budge at all. I'm going to have to try ammonia tomorrow. I can't use the stupid oven at all now- when I set it to 500F it only gets to 325F, not to mention the fact that it sets off the smoke detectors with the burned on food smoke. I don't know what to do. I suppose I'll have to call out a technician to look at it, but who knows how much that will cost! We should probably get a new stove at some point- its pretty obvious that all the new things in this house were the cheapest model available from Sears, and replaced right before the house went on the market so it wouldn't have old appliances in it. So far we've replaced the washer (would randomly stop in the middle of cycles) the dryer (didn't dry clothes at all) and the dishwasher (started to make grinding noises and was smelling like smoke).

Adam is having a good day at work. He is cleaning out the dairy box with a steam cleaner and having a lot of fun doing it (this is what gave me the idea to get a steam cleaner from Linens N Things).

Time to get a big glass of water and play DDR down with the bunnies!
