Presents for me!!!

If you've ever played Sims 2 or 3 you know that sims LOOOOOVE getting new stuff! I AM LIKE THE SIMS! I love getting new stuff! Whether it's something I actually needed or just a new set of stationary (anything I can use in a scrapbook is a plus!) when I get something new I am just happy.

There's been a few things on my "I want" list for a while. One thing was a snow shovel. After eight years of living here (and 15 years in this state) I have finally decided I want one. I never had one before. I had this nifty little dustpan that I used to move snow. I called it my "redneck snow shovel" and it was remarkably effective. Unfortunately this year it finally broke and now I would like an actual shovel designed to move snow. I haven't gotten it yet but I plan on going shopping this weekend ;).

The other thing I really wanted was a scale. I need to know how much I weigh. It's an obsession of mine. I'm convinced if I don't know what I weigh then I will do nothing but GAIN! My previous scale had a digital readout and I kept it in my wash closet because I knew that right after I woke up in the morning and right after I did my morning "business" that would be my "actual" weight since I hadn't eaten or drank anything in the past eight hours. Then suddenly one year it started reading five pounds UNDER what I actually weighed (proved by a doctor's visit), then a few months later it started reading TEN pounds UNDER what I actually weighed. Finally one day I stepped on it and it read "98." I started laughing my butt off. There's no way I would ever weigh 98 pounds again - my boobs alone are 20! (lol)

So I finally gave up on the stupid thing actually working right and I immediately started bugging The Mr about getting me a new one (I tend to not leave the house much in the winter so I depend on him to buy me things no matter how girly and he does a fine masculine job of doing it and I love him for it!). I didn't get one for Christmas so I told The Mr. he could buy a crapload of "Magic: The Gathering" cards if he would just go out and buy me a scale already! I didn't care HOW cheap it was I JUST NEED A SCALE!!

Well he finally got me one!! Except it's not JUST a scale....it gives me a readout of my weight, my body fat percentage and my hydration level. (Basically it tells me I'm unhealthy in THREE different ways instead of just one!! LOL!) I love this thing! I've already programmed my stats into it and found out what I basically already knew - I'm 156 pounds, my body fat percentage is too high and my hydration is a little too low.

I was so happy with the thing that The Mr. got on it, too. His body fat % was a little too high and his hydration was a little too low, too - so we match!

Yay!
