I'm excited...!
The Wii I won at auction arrived! I haven't set it up yet; I had to work the weekend and decided to wait until my days off.
And even more excitment...I had been looking for Wii Fit at a "reasonable" price. Even on eBay, they're going for well in excess of $125. As much as I wanted one, I just wasn't going to pay that much over the retail price. So I kept looking at the online stores. But everyone was sold out or selling at outrageous prices. So I waited.
Finally...
last Thursday, Walmart.com had Wii Fit in stock! And the price was $89, so I ordered one right away. I was so stoked!
I had to run some errands and when I got home, I had an email saying it was back-ordered and they didn't know when it would be shipped! Talk about disappointed! Then, at work on Friday, I thought, maybe one of the local Walmart stores would have it in stock. Long shot, I figured. I decided if I did find one, I could either cancel the on-line order or when I got it (capitalist that I am), sell it on eBay for an outrageous amount (hee..hee!)
I checked out one of the stores, and no, it wasn't in stock, so I headed home. I didn't check any other stores because I was exhaused by then. When I got home, I had an email saying it was shipped! I won't get it until maybe as late as the 16th, but at least it's on the way!
Joy, Joy, Frabjous joy! I was doing the happy dance now!

Hello!
When Wii first came out, I thought it was just another game system. Then, Wii Fit came out and I started thinking...hmmm...I have to look into this. I couldn't find one for love or money anywhere, so I went to my favorite online site (eBay). I just won a Wii console and now I'm bidding on Wii Fit. I want to use it for the exercise value, but I want to have fun, too! I think this is the way to have the best of both worlds. I'm looking forward to reading what everyone is doing with their Wii's and what the best/most fun games are.
Wii Fit
Limping around! Got Wii fit last month; watched 22 year old daughter and her friends blow through the exercises and unlock everything with little to no effort. Waited until they left then made my Mii.
OMG--all of my daughter's Mii's (including boyfiend's who stood in lotus position like it was boring) were SKINNY and cute. My Mii was ROUND and FAT. Lordy...their Mii's run out to wave...mine lopes out lol.
After all of the kids had 200 on hula hoops I tried. Not so smart. Put on hoop....plop.
Put on hoop...plop. Aggravated, began trying to spin my knees to keep the darn thing going, but even when you do, a hoop comes flying at you from the right or left. I leaned to "catch it" and twisted my knee. Kept going anyway.
Got up next day limping. Seeing ortho. tomorrow...think I may have torn ligament. WHAT A DOPE!
Careful of Wii fit...we are not 22 anymore! lol

Wii Play
Bought the Wii Play yesterday for $49. On the box it says bonus second controller included. I'm kind of looking at it as I paid an extra 10 bucks for a controller and got a couple of games with it :^)
The games are pretty simple and I think this disc will sink to the bottom of the pile quickly.

Got One!
The power of suggestion is alive and well :^) I suggested that the better half look for a Wii while out on the weekend. Lo and Behold she comes home with one!
I hadn't really looked into one so wasn't exactly sure what we were getting. I'm impressed, the setup was very easy and to my surprise it picked up on my wireless network instantly. Just had to enter my WEP key into the console and poof, internet access to boot! The console also searched for software upgrades and downloaded them, cool!
The channels available aren't that great but hey, it's early in the game :^) Got the Wii sports games and they're a riot. My arms are getting sore from repetitive games of golf, baseball and bowling.
Tennis gets my head spinning watching the ball twirl into the stands at odd angles!
Anywho I'm hooked and will be looking for game reviews and will provide my own as I go, on the look out for racing games :^)
