The UPS dude just drove down the next street over. In the back of his truck is my Wii which, as you know, I’ve been wanting for a couple of years now.
As luck would have it, this is one of those mornings when I deferred the whole bathing/ blow-drying / putting-on-makeup-so-I-don’t-scare-strangers thing. And I hate being seen in that condition, even by the UPS guy.
Of course, if I jump in the shower now I might miss the delivery, and with my luck he’ll be needing a signature.
I sure hope this sweatshirt and headband that I threw on convinces him that I’ve been working out this morning, and not obsessively sitting here at the computer hitting “refresh” on the UPS tracking page.

Well I guess we won’t be hearing from you for awhile now.
Enjoy the WII
I’ve always wondered- if they come out with a new model will it be called the WIIII

BTW- as long as I’m doing bad WII observations- I tell the kids at church that while the Bible does not clearly state which gaming system God favors, tradition teaches us that Zaccheus was a WII little man.

Actually, I’m probably not going to open it until tomorrow. With my computer problems of the past couple of days, I’m behind on work as well as housekeeping. And I can’t STAND having a messy house.
So tonight and tomorrow I’m getting caught up on responsibilities. Then I’m going to play.
(I reserve the right to change this plan at any moment.)

My guess is it would be called Wii2.
*cough*

Not, WiiDeux?

Ah, you remind me of the time I was in the garage — pantsless in a shirt and my undies — when the FedEx guy showed up with a delivery. I hid my pantsless half behind various garage items, but it was a wee bit awkward to say the least. The hubby was not amused, either.
You’re going to have a blast with the Wii. Just wait till you get the Wii Fit — it makes workouts fun.

Never bother obsessively refreshing UPS tracking information. “Delivered” means it was actually delivered, but being at home, you’d know that. Everything else is just an estimate, not the real time play-by-play it purports to be.
Enjoy your Wii, you lucky (female equivalent of bastard). Mrs. X would kill me if I came home with one.

I finally broke down and bought a Wii system last year. I was on a roadie and saw the UPS guy delivering at a GameStop as we were pulling up to the burger store next door. I, ostensibly, bought it for the wife and kids, replete with games and a WiiFit system. This is literally the first gaming system I have ever had in any residence I have lived in. Two things I have learned: cats are amused at watching adults play the system, WiiFit and neuropathy are not a good combo.

So is it unpacked and are you bouncing around holla hoop’in yet?
Gathering so … no new posts!

Unpacked it yesterday and started playing. It’s everything everyone said it would be. I’m determined not to let it take over my days, though, so look for new posts later this morning. (I wake up slooooowly.)
