Sounds like you need to get a Nintendo DS. :)
Surgeon = Under the Knife: Trauma Center.
Walking the dog = Nintendogs.
Brushing your teeth and painting a fence = WarioWare Touched.

Cooking = Cooking Mama.
Lawyer = Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
Mindlessly blowin' stuff up = NanoStray. :D (Also Metroid Prime Hunters and Starfox, though the latter is more strategy-based.)
