Treading Lightly

I bought a new treadmill on Wednesday night. I used Craigslist too! It’s my first Craigslist purchase and it went very well. I started treading last night and it worked really nicely. WWH even got on and ran a mile. I was jealous! It will be some time before I am actually running!

After we moved that monster treadmill into our house, we watched a movie called Hot Rod and then called it a night. I will review the movie below.

This weekend I will be a snowmobile widow again. WWH and his two buddies are going up north (Northern Wisconsin) this weekend, probably the last hoorah for snowmobiling in the state. I don’t have any plans either. I would like to start working on my photo album from the wedding. It being almost a YEAR later, it’s probably time to start.

Speaking of our wedding, I made reservations to rent the cabin we honeymooned in for the weekend of April 25th to celebrate our 1st anniversary. We were going to take another week off but with WWH taking a new job, he doesn’t have any vacation time yet. We made arrangements for our cake lady to make us a mini cake and we’ll take that with us!

But first up is WWH’s birthday! We are going mini-bowling, or duckpin bowling. It’s mini-lanes (short) mini-balls, no ugly shoes, real live pinsetters, it’s really a good time. All of WWH’s family and friends are coming to the 2nd annual event. That’s next weekend so I am trying to finalize the guest list so I know how many people are coming. There are only 4 lanes, and we can fit 6 on a lane, so there are usually around 30 of us, some bowl, some watch, but all of us have a great time. I will try to take some pictures this year!

Have a great weekend!

Movie Review:

Hot Rod: This is totally a “guy” movie. If you know a guy that when he was younger, spent any time on a dirtbike, making ramps in the back yard, or spent any time worshiping Evel Knievel, then they will love this movie. It’s only about 1 hour and 20 minutes long so I suffered through it with ease. It did have some funny crash scenes that made me laugh pretty hard.

The premise is this: A young man named Rod, thinks his dad was Evel Knievel’s stunt man. It was his dad that made all of Evel’s jumps BEFORE Evel came in, made the jump and got all the glory. A ridiculous premise but we are not talking oscar-winning here, just go with it. I won't spoil the possible laughs, but his choice of ride is very humorous!

Anyway, this young man needs to earn some money for his step-dad’s heart transplant operation and comes up with the idea of jumping a bunch of buses to raise the money.

The movie surprised me. I thought I would be suffering the whole time but it had me laughing and I didn’t go into it with many expectations so I did alright.
