March can be summed up by diet and exercise. The weight-loss competition has pretty much enveloped my time for this month. I spend most of my spare time exercising. But the good news is that I am winning by a lot. My team is in the lead, but we have a much narrower margin. There is only 1 week left, and I have lost 36 pounds (in 5.5 weeks). I am at my ideal weight again, but hope to drop another 10 pounds in the final week, and then build back up to my ideal weight with muscle.
So hopefully a week from today I will be $200 & a 32" TV richer (good timing too, as our TV just started shorting out so that you have to smack it to get it to turn back on).
We went swimming a couple times this month. Orianna is getting more used to the water, but still is rather clingy. Occasionally she will kick and paddle her arms a the same time- but most of the time she wants at least 1 appendage firmly grasping an adult. Luckily Lehi city pool is heated, but even still Orianna is so scrawny that she freezes after an hour. But, it's fun to go for a little while.
We got Orianna an early BDay present (curse your splendiferous deals kids.woot.com!). It's a little nylon-wire maze thing. There are 3 tunnels and 3 cubes, and you can connect them however you want. She has had fun crawling through those with her cousins. We connected it to her Christmas gift (her little bounce-house-ball-pit-tent) and now we have a freaking amazing playroom. So, it looks like we're rich, but each of those gifts cost $20, and were her only gifts (from us anyway- all our relatives spoil her though), so it is in moderation ;) Though it does make me wish I could fit inside all these toys!
We got a silly game for our Wii called "Samba de Amigo." It's kind of like Rock band for Maracas. So all you do is shake the maracas in different directions according to the beat, and occasionally strike a pose. It is fun because it is so silly and makes everyone spaz out. Hopefully we will get some more people to come play it so we can laugh at them... I mean with them.
Lastly, my fried Shaun got me an interview with a company in Lehi who apparently pays much better than my current company. My interview is on Tuesday, so there is a chance I will be changing jobs soon. I'm not sure, but there is a chance. Their office is 3 miles from my house, and a bike path connects my house directly to their office. So, I could bike to work without having to worry about getting run over- which would be awesome.
Well, That's it for us this month. Cheers,
The Bates Family

Wow, best of luck on the job interview. It sounds like it would be worth it even if they didn't pay more; the extra money is even better. I live very close to the school and I enjoy my morning bike rides, they sure beat getting stuck in traffic.
