We’ve Been Wii’d
January 23, 2007
Hi!! Still here? I’m SO glad to see you!
So between the sick kid, the migraines, the getting my period every two weeks, and the working, my neighbor (whom I will be nominating for sainthood) lent us his Nintendo Wii for a week.
An entire week! He’s my new favorite person.
I kept looking out the window (with my drapes closed) wondering when he was going to return and re-possess the Wii. In between my paranoia I played some pretty awesome games. My arms hurt from all the bowling my family and I did. It probably didn’t help with all the hours of Zelda: Twilight Princess gametime. This was the most moving we have done with a game system since we brought home DDR Max and stomped on the dance pad for hours on end.
That fad ended quicker than I thought it would. I guess it didn’t help that Scamp wanted to step on the pad while I was trying to dance, confusing the computer, but no matter. It’s in the past.
There’s a Wii to be had.
This past Friday my neighbor took back his Wii. A tear might have been shed. Okay, maybe two. The Hubby took pity on me and offered to go to Toys R Us and buy me one so that I might handle the withdrawal a bit better. That and stop the mournful screaming. Even Scamp woke up Sunday and the first thing he said to his dad was;
“Daddy, can we go get a Wii?”
That boy has earned his sports car when he turns sixteen. Now if only Nintendo would ship out some more of those darn things so Toys R Us can stock them (we may have a few gift cards that are burning a hole in our pockets…) all will be right with the world.
Well. my world anyway.
So, how have you been?

Hold on to that controller really well and let us know how much weight you have lost playing it.

My kids and I spend many a night up til 2am playing Guitar Hero on ps2. Its actually FUN to rock out with a guitar! LOL And the kids think your weird jumping up and down and dancing with a fake guitar. You’re a MOM after all! Geesh! Haha! Love it!
They actually just get sick of hearing I love Rock and Roll, the only song I know, lol.
