I AM A CALORIE INCENERATOR!
I just scored 660 on the advanced step aerobics on Wii Fit. To put that in perspective the highest score you can get is a 672. I was 12 points away from a perfect score.
Come on Kathey, you can show me up!

I've Started Another Project...
So, a couple years back I was part of a Young Professional Networking Society. Kyle and I would go to the happy hours and other events and always had so much fun and loved finding people that were interested in business the same way we were. Well, sadly, the group slowly disbanded.
I still have several good friends that I met from being a part of this group and, ever since, wanted to find a similar group that I could join. Well, I never found one so I made my own!
http://kcyoungprofessionals.ning.com
Right now we're building our member base (you know - one person signs up and tells there friends then they sign up and tell their friends...) but once we get enough member to actually come to our events we'll host a happy hour. At the rate we're going we should have enough members by the end of the week! We're thinking of hosting a Haunted House event even.
So, if you're a young professional in KC or know one check out the site and create a profile! This site won't succeed without members!

Bern - October 25th
This Saturday we took a day trip to Bern. Kyle and I went with three of his work friends; Chris, Jody, and Gay. They were all SUPER nice and it was great to hang out with them. We also had an extra special guest join us. Flat Stanley from KC came with us as well and we were able to take a couple of pictures for his class project. I'll make sure to take pictures of Stanley as soon as I can.
I still don't have my camera so we only took a couple pictures with our camera phones...I'll have to get them off of the phones at some point. If you'd like to see pictures of Bern then click here.
We left the house at 7:30 to get to the HB for 8. We then had to pick up our tickets for Bern and meet the others. We took the 8:30 train to Bern and got there around 9:30. We spent the morning looking at beautiful churches (you can't walk more then about 2 blocks without running into one) and other sites that Rick Steves told us to visit.
We saw one of the ugliest fountains in the world and went up in a prison tower that also had an exhibit of Nelson Mandela's life. We also saw the soldiers tower where people used to hide out to smoke, but then you could smoke EVERYWHERE in Switzerland so people didn't have to hide anymore. Well - people might have to start hiding in the tower again, they're trying to pass a smoking ban.
We tried to see the clock in the city center strike the top of the hour several times but seemed to always miss it. Finally, at the very end of the day, we saw the most anticlimactic event- maybe in the world. But we can't say we weren't warned. The book did tell us it was an 'anti-event' AND we weren't even the only people hanging around waiting for the chime. At 4 minutes til the top of the hour a roster crows and a jester dances. Then, 4 minutes later, Father Time turns his hourglass and the gold guy with a mallet bangs on the bell.
We went and saw the bear pit again - still super cute! And walked up to the rose garden to look out over the city. I thought the view from the bear pit was amazing - that view had nothing on this one!
We had lunch and great conversation at a wonderful little Italian place too. And Kyle found a chocolate shop where he could get something that appeared to be a chocolate covered hedgehog. It was disgusting so we just ate off the eyes and trashed the 10CHF rodent (Mom, I think you might have liked it - it reminded me of a Cherry Mash).
We got home about 6 (of course it was already pitch dark). It was the perfect amount of time to spend in Bern.
