I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet.  Last Friday, Andy and I bought a Wii.  We were just planning on looking at it, seeing the price, the accessories and games.  We stopped at Circuit City –who didn’t have any and really had no clue when.  They also said there is a line out the door for them so you have to get there early to get one.  We decided to stop at Best Buy just to see and they actually had one.  Since I am an impulsive buyer, we bought it with some accessories.  The reason we decided to actually buy one is that our work will reimburse us for it because it is an exercise tool and promotes family time.  We only ended up paying $30.00.  We have another oppurtuinity to make $60.00 each so with that money we are going to buy Wii fit.  I love it already and want more accessories and more games. I know we need memory cards. Andy wants Tiger Woods Golf, but I told him he has to wait.  But its nice that I’ll be able to find stuff to put on his Xmas list.   I should probably start that soon!  Its less than 6 months away! 

Andy’s parents just got a GPS for their car, a TomThumb, I think.  I know my sister just purchased one on Black Friday.  Even though they knew where they were going, they used it to see how it works.  Andy set it up so the voice that speaks is Australian English-named Karen.  Well, it started to become a game when we would have Karen recalculate the route when we wouldn’t take a turn she wanted to.  I would so do that with a GPS.  I guess Chris, Andy’s brother, went to the grocery store with the GPS (American English-Jill) and the Jill wasn’t aware that there was a new bridge and thought Chris had driven into the water.   I think its actually quite helpful gift.  I can see why they were pushing them this year.  Plus a guy never has to leave the car for directions.  I would like this because I never know where I am when I am driving.  It helps find restaurants and movie theaters and so much more.  Plus theirs has a mp3 player. Andy doesn’t think we need one since he always knows where he is going.   

I do not know what is wrong with our Internet.  I do not know if it is me, but there is something wrong with our Cat5E ether net cable or just with the Internet.  I swear even just getting onto the Internet, I need to turn off our receiver and wait for it to reload. I really hate that.  I wish I knew more about technology.  There is something else really weird going on.   At work, my work phone keeps on logging me off.  The other weird thing is my mouse and the 3 other cubicles our mouses (mice) tend to stop working at the same time.  For all you techie people, is this just a coincidence or just random?
