Haven’t spent any money this weekend, even though it felt like I did. At work they gave all the employees $50 gift cards for Vons. I bought some food yesterday, totaled $19 something. I will use the rest for the next time. I had a packet of mung beans (only 79 cents) on hand and made a stew with some rice. I will be eating this all week. This is filling and good, but I’m going to be gassy all week! Thank god for Gas-X!

I went to Best Buy and bought the American Idol game for my Wii with a gift card I received a long time ago. I’m really disappointed with this game – as there are not enough songs on it! I can only sing “Black Velvet” and “Walking on Sunshine” so many times. You can’t download anymore songs! I played American Idol at a friend’s party on her Play Station, which I thought was much better – more songs and better graphics. It was so much fun, and addicting too so I thought I’d get it for myself.

Can anyone recommend any karaoke games on the Wii that are better than AI?

It’s so hot and I’m trying to limit the time that I run the AC. I’m going to go to cool off at the gym.
