Yeah, I’m on the RockBand.com site. My ID is Marianne39. (I know, original, eh?) My band is the one my kids made, Barking Hill 20. (Don’t ask me. It was a suggested band name and they liked it.) Anyway here is the band:

And my character, Marianne:

I wish I was that thin…and could wear a PVC corset. LOL Oh, and she plays the bass. The guitar and drums too, but mainly the bass.

Must I repeat again today that I am cold? Cold…cold…cold…  I bought a new blanket for the bed. Yes, that cold. I am no used to it being so cold. Damn…It would be a perfect day to snuggle in bed with a sexy man. I had to settle for the dog instead.

Yep, did 20 minutes yesterday on the treadmill. As soon as I am done here, I’m going for my 20 on the treadmill for today. I earned 2 activity points yesterday for my walk which is cool.

Not planning on doing much today, maybe some Rock Band 2. I downloaded a few songs for it–Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence, Call Me by Blondie, and Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. I wish there were more available for download like some Heart, Joan Jett, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Yes, I am addicted. LOL

Meanwhile as I live my life (aka enjoying the holidays with my family) I got called a stalker again on my Ex’s FB profile. Not by him. Only way I know is by getting an email saying someone commented on my Christmas greeting post on his Wall. Ugh. Some people seem to look for drama where none exists.

Anyway, I went down to Tally to the mall (Ugh!!) for Build a Bear Workshop with the kids. They enjoyed themselves. No, I did not get a new bear. I did pick up an outfit though–a rocker shirt and jeans. (I have a black bear from a few years ago on my first trip to BABW.) I was going to get the electric guitar, but my daughter wanted it. As it was the only one they had, I let her have it. We had a great time with my brother. We even went to GameStop to take advantage of the buy 2 get one free used game sale they had going on. I got a RockBand track pack, a Wall-E game, and Guitar Heroes game. I thought I read the GH game was compatible with the RB guitar, but I tried it and it didn’t work. I may have to take the game back and exchange it for something else. Bummer. I’ll check online to see if there is compatibility issues. Ugh. It is always something.

We played RB2 with the kids later and had the hubby get in on it. The kids love the singing, especially when they can hear themselves on the TV. LOL It was a whole lot of fun. A good family game. I am glad I got it for us. Tonight I played the Beatles for RB and I like it. I am doing pretty good on the guitar. I suck at the drums, but the guitar…I rock. LOL I do want to get some of The Beatles on my iPod. I used to have them on cassette tapes…

Everyone have a good Christmas? I did. My kids were practically bouncing off the walls the entire day. The dolls were a hit. Rock Band 2 was a hit with the adults. Ahem. Me. I love it. The kids played with my brother (on No Fail mode) and I laughed at how bad he sang. And I thought some of the Karaoke folks I’ve heard were bad. I tried the drums, bass and guitar. I am actually good at the guitar. It is really very very fun. I gave The Beatles RB game to the hubby, but we haven’t played it yet. We are still trying to learn how to play. (He was teasing me that he expected 100% accurate….yeah, not gonna happen.)

Got a weird message today. Someone on Facebook wrote a reply to something I sent to my ex-bf–a Christmas Greetings card I sent out to all my entire FB list. The message was rude…asking if I liked him or something, and that he was married…then called me a stalker. Wow. I’m a stalker for sending a Christmas card on FB? Amazing. Uh, no. Hardly. Of all the people in the world to stalk, he’d be the least likely candidate. Pfft…please.

Saturday I am going to Build a Bear Workshop with the kids. My brother is treating them. He offered me to do it too, but I have 2 already, and they get stolen by the kids. LOL I get them back eventually–sans the clothes.It will be a fun day out. Anything for the kids right?
