Whee?

My mom recently gave us her Wii. Steve and I have swore up and down that we would never buy a gaming system and I guess we've kept to that promise. We didn't buy it. Mostly I'm concerned I will have a family of gamaholics on my hands, but we're keeping that down by mostly renting games. Admittedly, it's been nice to make use of Netflix's streaming capabilities with the Wii and I've also learned that I am exceptionally well balanced and not too bad at yoga. Although my inflated ego quickly went down after the Wii told me I was 42 years old given my fitness level and body composition. Thanks Wii.

Speaking of getting old, I'm not very technologically advanced and it's starting to show. I've never sent a text message and my phone is just a phone. I recently got called into Young Womens and now I'm starting to see just how out of it I am. One of the first spiritual messages I heard in YW started "I was looking for apps for my iPhone and..." I'm out of touch- I get it.

I thought I was pretty well insulated from these kinds of thoughts, but now with this Wii in my house and being in YW, the assault is kind of brutal at times. I tell myself it's payback for laughing at my mom when she told us to turn off the computer because we were wasting the battery. The hardest part is when my 4 year old son, who has had just as much exposure to this gaming system as I have, tells me how to use it.

Thanks hun for keeping me on my toes.
