I’ve been trying to find a Wii game system for months and everyone (Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target) has been sold out. Tonight I decided to check online again, just in case. Best Buy was sold out, so I tried Amazon. OMG, they had them in stock! I immediately bought one and then bought the Animal Crossing City Folk game.

I have no idea how to use the Wii–or even how to hook it up–but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Or I’ll call Patrick.

This is absolutely not something that I need to be doing right now since I know it will mean countless hours of game playing ’cause Animal Crossing is totally addicting. And I really don’t have lots of free time right now, what with the holidays coming up. So possibly I will hold off on hooking it up until Christmas. Or maybe at least wait until Thanksgiving. I just know what will happen if I start playing now–nothing else will get done!

I feel kind of guilty getting excited about a game system with all the terrible fire news this weekend but, as with everything, life goes on. I’ve spent all weekend watching the fires and feeling sorry for all those who lost homes and possessions. I can’t do anything to change what happened. So I go on and look forward to Wednesday when my Wii arrives.

Whee!!!
