Wiisaster Area

Ok...no more cute wii puns. Promise.

Apparently getting a Wii isnt as east as one might think. I thought they were over abundant and could be bought most anywhere. ...Wrong-o.

I called EVERYWHERE. No one in this county has a Wii for sale. They said a factory shortage and christmas coming up is causing a Wii crisis. I laughed at the term "Wii crisis."

So I called a Wal-mart in a neighboring county...They had a shipment truck backed up to the door at the very moment I called with 2 Wii's coming off. A man was there already in line for one of them.

I sprang into action.

I grabbed my clothes shoes and baby and headed for the car. The normally hour drive took me ...meh...35 min or so. (Not good I know)

I stopped about halfway there , for about 18 seconds to pick up my self proclaimed video game guru brother so I would know what to buy.

Finally we arrived....Screaming baby in tow we dashed from the vehicle.

Walking briskly (ok running) to the electronics section ....I ran over a mans foot with my cart. Dont worry....I shouted a vauge apology over my shoulder.

I skidded to a halt and shouted ...slightly winded at the electronics woman.."WHERE ARE THE WII's?!?!"

She pointed and I followed....

I picked up the beautiful shiney white box....was tempted to kiss it.. and proceeded to the checkout where I felt like I was selling one of my kidneys for permission to take it home

But I got it.

And to add to my satisfaction...I looked snubly at a group of teenage boys who pointed at me and said...:"NO she got the last ONE!"

Ha.

SO ...I will let you know how my surprise turns out!!
