We have been talking about buying a Wii for some time. Well, yesterday was the day that we did it. We felt that there were signs that we were destined to have a Wii and that now was the time to buy.
Sign #1 -We got the rebate card from my Verizon phone update earlier this month, but we hadn't used any of it yet.
Sign #2 -Our annual check from Evergreen Energy Inc. came in the mail yesterday. This is a check that we get for allowing them to think about possibly mining coal on my grandpa's farm, sometime in the future. If they ever actually start taking out coal, the checks will get bigger.
Sign #3-The total of the two amounts above was almost a perfect match for the cost of a Wii plus an extra game disk and a second controller. So you see, fate was telling us, "buy, buy, buy".
We didn't make the purchase until about 9:00 last night, and didn't really start playing until after the 11:00 news. Sue cleaned my clock at bowling. I tried to be cool and hook the ball but I couldn't control it. I got my revenge in baseball. The game invoked the "Mercy Rule" after the score got to 5-0 in the second inning.
Just another avenue for "Time To Play".

Congratulations!! I think we might buy one too after we get back from Greece. We have a bunch of Target Gift cards and I would rather not spend them on stupid stuff like Toilet Paper...
