Working the Dance Dance Dance Revolution machine at the arcade and being 6-months pregnant don’t mix. Sure you get a good workout and the muscles in your thighs may even start to burn, but it’s impossible to keep up with those crazy light patterns when you are sober or at least you are more likely to notice your lack of coordination this way. It’s a fact.

Ohhhh my god. How I love DDR…..
My friend has the actual arcade machines in her house.
..So does my other friend.
My summers consist of DDRing in an air conditioned to-the-max house, sweating til sports bras and shorts are even uncomfortable, and burning 100′s of calories at the same time. Good times, good times.

Your comment reads like a racy episode of The O.C. – please be advised this blog has only been rated PG.

It was more like “Sweating to the Oldies” the way I was doing it. This is what you kids have to look forward to – muscle pain induced by video games.

I think nordic walking might be a more appropriate activity for mums to be. Would you like some nordic walking poles put aside for you?

But Weebledad, I was just following your “the party doesn’t stop when the baby arrives” lead. If I’m not mistaken, I think I saw a 4 month old living it up at a Hallowe’en party last year.

For those not familiar with Dance Dance Revolution. DDR defined:
Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR (known as Dancing Stage in Europe), is a music video game series produced by Konami.
The game is typically played on a dance pad with four arrow panels: left, down, up, and right. These panels are pressed using the player’s feet, in response to arrows that appear on the screen in front of the player. The arrows are synchronized to the general rhythm or beat of a chosen song, and success is dependent on the player’s ability to time his or her steps accordingly.

“But Weebledad, I was just following your “the party doesn’t stop when the baby arrives” lead. If I’m not mistaken, I think I saw a 4 month old living it up at a Hallowe’en party last year.”
Well, fair enough, although perhaps “the party should slow down a little” until baby makes his/her appearance.
In order to really party it up as a parent, you need some friends with a basement into which you can place your 4 year old in company with many other 4 year olds. This will keep him/her entertained for hours. Then you will have you some free space in order to a. entertain people with your highly social/sleeping infant and participate in ever present kitchen gatherings. Not that I know much about this first hand….

Am working on the purse/latte problem. Perhaps a special holder could be fastened to the poles? Will get back to you….

This is where I come into place.

Are you saying you will babysit the kids in the basement, or mix martinis for the parents in the kitchen?
June 18, 2006 at 3:27 am
Miss Sara, this is where you should definitely say that you will be mixing martini’s for the parents … might as well start practicing early
Iva, I totally got a mental picture of you ‘dancing’ on this thing. I can just see your index fingers now being pointed into the air!

Nordic walking? Didn’t I see an episode about that on “Malcolm in the Middle” — except Hal was doin’ it with a sleek helmet instead of the poles. I’ve had that sexy wiggle down pat since grade school.

Oh yea, I would definitely rather mix martinis for the parents in the kitchen.
Seriously.

And she’s good at it too! Child prodigy bar tender!

Why would you need a pole in the first place? I know if your pregnant, you balance suffers.. but is that the reason why?
December 2, 2007 at 6:23 pm
That’s my question – who needs walking poles? Maybe garden gnomes. But it’s supposed to be popular in Europe.
