We Wii!

After many months of begging...finally Mr. Wonderful is talked into getting the Wii game system thanks to Linda over at Grandma's Attic. All she had to tell him was they are coming out with Mario Cart, and he was sold! If only I had known it would have been so easy...

Saturday morning we went out Wii hunting. We went to every place imaginable, and you can imaging the disappointment when we were told that no one had the system. Lots of games, nothing to play them on. Sam's club told us they were having a sale next Friday starting at midnight...be there and hope you get one! Then we stopped into every game stores in the malls, went to the big box stores, and our only hope was Toys R Us. The salesperson told us there, they were getting some in, and our best bet to get one was to be there at 6:00 in the morning and cross our fingers.

Yeah, like we are going to get up on a Sunday morning, go stand outside Toys R Us and wait for four hours until they opened? I highly doubt it...If push came to shove, we would end up ordering one online and wait patiently for it to be delivered.

Sunday morning, we woke up, Mr. W. hiked down to the mail box in his robe to get the newspaper to check out all the sales ads. Someone has to have the Wii! After going through the paper with no luck of seeing one advertised, we decided to get dressed and go to Toys R Us half awake.

When we arrived, the parking lot was full and there were a lot of people standing by the door. There was a sales person standing outside entertaining people while they waited...Okay, I think she was just telling people what else they would need besides the game system. Mr. W. dropped me off by the door, and he went and parked the car...The sales person approached me and at this moment I thought she was going to tell me "sorry go back home" but instead she handed me a piece of paper which had the price and description or the Wii system. The piece of paper also known as the "golden ticket" I GOT ONE!!! I was like a little kid, so excited!

When 10:00 came, the doors opened and people where so courteous, not pushing or shoving, but casually walking in like nothing was happening. We all headed back to where the Wii's were, stood in line and paid for our new addictions.

We couldn't stop there...we had to go to Best Buy and pick out some new games, another controller, and I just had to have Guitar Hero cause you know, I ROCK!
Instead of cleaning out the garage...Mr. W. plays baseball in the kitchen! Doesn't everyone? Notice my dinette table has been moved in order to make room for Wii !

We Wii!
