Mii, Wii, and knee

Well, I cut my hair even more, and dyed it even more blond. Solid blond on the top even! Its fun, but not sure I'll keep it. I dont think it is quite as professional as I want to look, but then again, I need to do fun things with my hair whilst I am young!
I've been watching (very carefully) what I eat. I'm staying low on calories and saturated fats, as well as sodium and sugars. Its been a few weeks, and my pants still fit the same. I'm pretty anti-exercise, so that makes this process slow. I busted out my roommates wii fit, and realized that I had actually already lost 10 pounds. That is a nice reinforcement. I then exercised for an hour (well, it was more balance focused but I beat all my roommates records). I also hiked 4.6 miles of moderate difficulty on Sunday. It was fun, however, it was a bit icy on the way down so I fell a few times. Good news is that I actually was not very muscularly sore, just my knees hurt from the multiple falls. Vi thought the hike was no big deal and didnt even get sleepy at bed time. She is crazy!
I'll post some pics of the hike soon. It was really pretty, and really cold. Well, cold for Oregon.

Oh! I got a wild hair and went to a Survivor audition last week. That was not so fun, but an interesting experience. I wasted 5 hours of my life, but learned how seriously people take these tryouts. I was like, "What the heck?" and dont feel anything will come of it. Some people had monologues written out and already spoken with their bosses about possibly leaving work for 7 weeks.
The basic process is that you fill out a 10 page application (sheesh, I know) and give them a picture, and say what you want to say in 2 minutes or less. I told the camera that Survivor needed a female figure that knew a thing or two about outdoor survival. I know I have the basics down, and I am damn resourceful.
Let's pretend for a second I did get on the show. First goal, get to the jury. About half way through the 7 weeks, people who get voted off stay on location and decide who gets the million dollar prize. So let's pretend I get to the jury, and get voted off. Bummer...now I just have to wait one to three weeks in paradise. In a hotel, all expenses paid. Real bummer.
Ok, now let's pretend I get the grand prize, 1 million dollars. After taxes, I'm not looking at all that much. I'll pay off my home and do upgrades. I donate to some college education funds for the little Brittons and Yancey(s). I donate some to an ALS research foundation. Then...I buy a house in South America for all friends and family to use. Then I'm 1/3 of the way to my big goal in life...owning a home on every (habitable) continent. Lofty, yes.
That probably leaves me with some to save for retirement too. I guess.
