Vacation Day...

Second day off work this week...and what do I have to show for it?

For one thing, I think I'm now a Guitar Hero groupie. Does this count for something?!?!

My son totally rocks this game, and has already completed intermediate mode. Me, not so much. I'm in awe. But I've found "my song." I'm practicing "Stricken" and my high score in beginner mode on this particular song is 98,000-something at the moment. If you play this game, leave a comment re:your fav song, where you're at, etc.

Oh yeah, I bet you now think that I've wasted the entire day rockin' in my PJs. You are So.Wrong.

Husband & I actually went on a nice 40mile bike ride with lunch break today. He asked me what pace we were going at one point, and I informed him that we were going at precisely "a leisurely pace." What did he expect? It's the off season, and I'm on vacation.

Actually, I must say that today was an insanely nice day, 67deg or something. We're expecting snow on Thanksgiving, so I think that may well have been our last nice day until spring.

Topped it off by going out for Chinese food for dinner.

Danger Will Robinson! Diet gone awry!!

  3. I so heart guitar hero. I actually took it on a business trip once and a bunch of us stayed up until all hours in the commons playing it. What fun. I haven't played it in ages so I can't remember my favs. I have to practice if I'm going to attempt anything with orange in it!!

  4. I can't talk about the GH word...I need to go workout and if I say the GH word, I'll go play.

    I actually love GH II...my song...Strutter by KISS.

  6. Excellent use of vacation time!

    We haven't reached the Guitar Hero stage in life yet, I'm sure the kids will love it in a few years though.

  9. I would've been in the pj's all day...great job on the bike ride!

    I'm at beginner level with guitar hero, too. My favorite song to play is "crazy on you" by Heart... but that one may be on the Guitar Hero 2. I've just been a groupie watching my sons play GH3.

    My diet is not going well this week. I made an apple and pumpkin pie last night and had a piece of each :o

    Enjoy the rest of your holiday...you deserve it!

  10. I suck at Guitar Hero too (my husband is a master of it), but a friend of ours just bought Rock Band, so tomorrow at Thanksgiving, I'm gonna have to give the drums a go.

  11. Lisa...I thought you might get a kick out of this youtube video my son showed me. If it doesn't come up, search for "Guitar Hero 3 Through the Fire and Flames XPERT!"

    I expect you to be at this level by Monday ;)

    How special to do it together.. leisurely!
