1966173331 71141d5f0a I don’t know where my head was last week, but I completely forgot about Four Foods on Friday, so I have some catching up to do!

Last week’s Four Foods on Friday

1. Potato chips. Flavored? Regular, ridged or stacked?

I’ve given up potato chips, but I do eat Veggie Crunchers (a mix of dried sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, taro, and green beans) which is just as addicting.

2. Cheese doodles. Yellow or white? Puffed or crunchy?

Cheese doodles have to be bright orange and crunchy. Your fingers and lips must be covered in cheese dust when you are finished eating the entire bag.

3. Pretzels? Your favorite shape? Favorite flavor?

Hot pretzels are my favorite. Auntie Anne’s with sesame seeds is my absolute favorite.

4. Share a recipe for salsa or dip.

My favorite dip is a mix of salsa and cream cheese. Whatever proportions suit you.

I love Wii Fit. I do it every day (rhythm boxing and advanced step) and I do the body test once a week. Since starting, I’ve gone from a Wii Fit age of 42 (that was an eye opener) to a Wii Fit age of 26 (younger than my actual age)!

wii-fitWhile Mike also loves Wii Fit, he’s not quite as dedicated as I am and the little balance board has taken to asking me about Mike during my sessions. At first it just asked if I’ve seen Mike lately, but today it asked me to talk to Mike about his fitness routine and to bring it up nicely, by telling him he’s been “living large” and it’s time to Wii Fit.

These queries aren’t phasing Mike, but I’m scared of being belittled by the balance board (the boxing instructing telling me to come back tomorrow because I can do better is enough for me). I’d eventually like for the balance board not to say “ow” when I step on it.

So, has Wii Fit said anything funny to you? Has it shamed you into exercising? Harassed your significant other?

Just imagine how thrilled I was when Mike asked if I wanted to go to the Chicago Auto Show for Valentine’s Day. Yeah, not very.

I get where the idea came from, and in theory it’s good. I have a 2010 Prius on order and it’s been unveiled and will be on display at the show, but besides spending 10 minutes looking at my soon-to-be new car, spending a holiday all about love and romance at an auto show isn’t very lovey-dovey.

hes just not that into youI nicely said that I didn’t want to go, so crisis adverted, but what’s your worst Valentine’s Day story? Eat at a greasy spoon? Get a bouquet that had more baby’s breath than roses? A box of nasty cherry cordial candies?

Worst Valentine’s Day story, judged by Mike and I, gets a copy of the soundtrack to he’s just not that into you! It can be your story, your friend’s story, or a story that’s not really all that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Contest ends Saturday at midnight, just in case this is the worst Valentine’s Day ever.

Please enter a valid first name and email address when entering. Not responsible for invalid entry information. Must comment with your worst Valentine’s Day story to be eligable. US and Canada.

PS – Sorry for making a contest out of your big Valentine’s Day plans, Mike. Hearts.

I have a long history of being scared shitless of roller coasters. I don’t know if it’s the height or the speed, but I try to avoid them. I think it started with a trip to Kings Island where I could see the highway from the top of the coaster and culminated with a trip to Disney where my dad almost killed us with a dropped video camera on Aerosmith’s Rockin’ Roller Coaster.

No matter the reason, I think it’s time to face my fears on the NEW Manta roller coaster at Seaworld and what a lucky coincidence that there is a chance to win a trip to four to Seaworld at http://www.ted.me/manta! Take a look behind the scenes at the new Manta ride and tell me what you think. I’ll be watching through my fingers I’m such a wuss.

The trip includes airfare, hotel, and two full days at Seaworld to take advantage of priority access to the new Manta ride. Just visit http://www.ted.me/manta for all the info to enter!
