Where or where is a Wii?

In February, I received my modest income tax return. So, now I decided I would proceed on my Good Wii Hunting.

About 2 weeks after getting my return, the local game shop told me to be there Sunday. They wouldn't open until 10 a.m. but they had 3 Wii's coming in. So I arrived there about 5 a.m. with my big cup of coffee. Well, I'll be, if there weren't already 4 customers waiting, making me number 5.

I hung out until the opening crew got there, when they pulled me to the side and said they did indeed only get 3 and unless 2 of those other customers left, I was out of luck this time. I left, it didn't appear anyone was going to depart.

I was so hoping to get a Wii by mid March, so maybe I could give it to my youngest child for a birthday present, but as that date was fast approaching I felt I wouldn't be so lucky.

Lo and behold, Target ran an ad in the paper that they had some coming in. So again, early on a Sunday, armed with a magazine and coffee I went to get in line. There was suppose to be 15 units and I was the 10th person in line. This was a couple of hours before the store opened and I was amazed only one other person showed up after me by the time the store opened. But by the time it was my turn at the Electronics counter, another 4-5 customers showed up. Not all of them got a "special" Target ticket (saying the number we had arrived by). But I got my Wii.

Of course, I wanted it as bad as the kid's, so after I got a good day of house cleaning out of the kids, we hooked it up.
