I got a note from my mail person saying that I have a package that needs to be signed for and it would be waiting for me at the post office. I was confused because I didn’t order anything at that time. I checked with my ever cunning boyfriend if he had ordered anything for me. He had told me earlier that he wasn’t getting me a birthday gift since he paid a small fortune for tickets to come see me in NY. I totally agreed with him about this because he already bought me a new iPod recently. He told me that he didn’t order anything for me. The next day, instead of going to work at 8am, I decided to go wait at the post office since it opens at 8am. I was first in the package pick-up line. I got a large box and I walked home. The box was much heavier then it looked. Then I realized that I’ve held a box much similar to this before. I ran (well walked) home and ripped open the box. Yup, it was a Wii! I was so excited. I checked the receipt and it was from my boyfriend, Jeff. I called him and told him that I received his gift!

When I was in Florida for 4th of July, Jeff and I visited our favorite Target and to my surprise, there was a Wii available. He was asking me what it was and I was confused because I’ve never seen a Wii in a store display. The customer next to me confirmed that it was an actual Wii console. I encouraged Jeff to get it because he has a pretty flat screen LCD TV and lots of space. After I left, Jeff went to the same Target and couldn’t find any Wiis. He told me that he visited multiple Targets and they were all unavailable. He ended up buying it on eBay!

I made sure we played a lot of Wii when he arrived for my pre-birthday weekend. Right now I only have the sports game, but it’s quite entertaining. Last weekend, I went to my good friend’s brother’s house for a baby shower. Turns out he just bought Rockband for his Xbox 360. And to my amazement, there is actual 4 instruments, not 3. I was a little nervous playing guitar since I wasn’t very good. By the end of the weekend, I was doing much better. I could even handle the faster songs. I didn’t even try the drums again. Last thing I need is another burst blister.

Now I really want Rockband for the Wii. I heard that it’s not as good as the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 versions. I still want it! Too bad it costs so much for all the equipment. Maybe I’ll start saving money for it.
