Yes! Yes, indeed Wii are!
Yep. Searching for a Wii has become routine in our lives as of late. Getting pretty used to the typical phone conversation
"Yes, just wondering if you have any Wiis in stock today?"
"No, we don't"
"Ok, thank you."
"Yes, just wondering if you have any Wiis in stock today?"
"No, we don't"
"Ok, thank you."
Or...I feel I've become a regular fixture in the Talent Walmart electronics department. There is actually a pretty nice lady there that doesn't seem too bothered by the ever popular question of "Did you receive any Wiis in stock today?".
So, today Becky calls me to say that Tonya, another friend with whom I work with at Saiah's school and is also in the market for a Wii is RIGHT NOW at Fred Meyer and they have Wiis and she's willing to pay for one for me, but I need to call her. So, I call her and lo and behold, Freddies will NOT sell Tonya another one, nor will they sell one to her 20-something-year-old son. Sheesh...whatever!
Tonya says to hurry, it's the last one and they were going quicker than quick. I rushed out of the house with clothes I didn't care for on and hair undone, with mismatched shoes. I call the other Freddies, the one closest to us to make sure they didn't get any (nope) and "race" on towards the other Freddies. I'm going down the Freeway, I call the Fred's Tonya was at to see if they by chance still have that one last unit only to hear, "nope, we are all out". UGH!!! So, I make my way back home...frustrated. I know..all for a silly Wii.
Tonya calls a bit later to check if we got it and then tells me the lady at the Talent Walmart said to call around 2 PM today as that is when UPS usually gets there.
Jason, Saiah and I leave the house at 1:30, get to the Walmart about quarter till and we walk directly back to Electronics. Heart sinking, I can see no Wiis in the cases. Bummer.
Saiah and Jason are off already headed to the motor oil as I lag behind. I leave the Electronics area slowly, and apparently have a look on my face that needs attention.
The nice lady there asks, "Can I help you with something?"
"Just looking for a Wii" I manage to say
"Oh, well we have some." She says
"You do?? Can I get one?!" said with utter shock.
"Of course" as she leads me to BEHIND the counter where they have them still unpacked!
Woo Hoo!! We have our Wii.
Good quality family time! Ok, not perfect quality...but it sure is fun to play tennis, golf, baseball and other fun games with each other. Lacey even came over to help break in our new toy today!
So yes...Wii have arrived.
Bowling
Saiah has very huge movements when she plays!
All tuckered out from our Wii day

You seriously went out with mismatched shoes? Ha! That is fabulous.
Well, they certainly didn't match what I was wearing..at all. But, they were a matching pair of shoes nonetheless!! I'm just really thankful I didn't end up having to actually go into Freddie's looking like I did.
