I Lost.

I just want to thank everyone for casting your vote about the Wii (see previous post). However, although there were more votes for waiting till Christmas (which I preferred), well, I lost the battle. (Can you see my head hanging and my eyes sheepishly looking up?) But I have to admit I'm not sad. At all. In fact, it was ME who made the decision to open and play the Wii TODAY. But don't start thinking I'm weak - Quentin just tempted me too much. He hasn't said much about the Wii vote lately, but he has had a plan. A very evil plan to tempt me. See, I've been salivating about the Wii Fit. I've seen demos about it and think it looks so fun. But I also know it is VERY hard to come across. So I mentioned that SOMEDAY I would like to have it. But thinking that we wouldn't open the Wii till Christmas, I thought that would buy me plenty of time. Well, little did I know that Quentin has been calling stores daily to find the Wii Fit and he ended up finding one (and took time off work to go get it). With no hints whatsoever, I opened a birthday package today and saw the Wii Fit. Oh boy. Dilemma, dilemma. I couldn't take it - I caved. After all, Christmas is so dang far away. So we opened it and have had a BLAST trying it out. I don't think I've been this excited in a long time. What a fun way to celebrate a birthday! (P.S. That's not ALL we've done today. Quentin took the day off, and we also went to the park for the girls' classes, went to Sweet Tomatoes with Mom for lunch - my FAVORITE place, browsed at a few stores, then came home and had Hummingbird Cake - my other FAVORITE!) And now we're STILL playing the Wii. Think what you want about me (I'm weak, hypocritical, whatever). But I'm having FUN!!! (P.S. The pic above is our Wii Family!)
