The death of Mac and Cheese

Got up around 9:15 yesterday. Somehow I heard the kids Nya knocking on her door, so I got up and told her I’d come and get her after I took a shower.

It didn’t snow very much yet, only a light dusting on the roof outside our window. We had left Perkasie late Saturday night because they were predicting a bad storm, and Philly got hammered with about a foot and a half, but Baltimore only got grazed.

There was no fresh groceries yet, so I fed the kids eggs and dry cereal (their idea) and cooked bacon (on our new Foreman grill!) and eggs for us. Tamika wasn’t feeling all that hot, so I made her coffee and brought it up with breakfast in bed.

I let the kids play while I started putting things away from the trip. It’s amazing how much junk there is to take care of after being on the road for so long!

I pulled the TV away from the wall. The new Xbox has a DVD player in it, so I knew I could eliminate a lot of wiring back there, and possibly unify the sound system.
Turns out the Xbox has an HD jack on the back, and with a little finagling, I was even able to set it up to play movies streamed from my computer.

I then worked out with the fitness program (the primary reason we got it). It’s pretty cool, it analyses my body and figures out what the best workout and intensity is for me, and also corrects my form and posture.
I’m about 60 pounds (maybe more) overweight, so I really need to make some changes. I’m taking my moms advice and cutting carbs out of my diet. This is hard for a guy who once lived on Mac and Cheese, but I gotta do it.
