The Blonde Diaries

Oh yes you read that right.  My parents have stolen the Wii I was telling you that I ordered last week.  I find it quite comical if nothing else.  Why?  Mainly because my family has never been one to play video games.  In fact, my brother had to use his own money to buy his Sega GameGear back in the day and then again his Playstation2.  He was the only one that played games as the rest of us just never took the time or an interest in learning how to play.  Well that all changed with Nintendo’s Wii game console.  My family (all of us) first played it at Best Buy and Circuit City about a month ago when my parents were looking for a new television.  It was determined that if I could find 2 of them to purchase them – one for me and one for my family.  So off I went and started looking.

Fast forward to last week when I found not one but 8 online at eCost.com and called to ask my parents if they wanted one because I was about to order two.  My family (brother included) decided no they didn’t want their own.  So I repeated my question, took the second no as final, and ordered just one.  What a mistake!  “My” Wii arrived at their house last weekend and they took it out to “check it” to ensure it worked since it is my Christmas present. Well my parents and brother didn’t stop playing it!  My mom called Sunday morning to tell me she was keeping it and to find another one.  Thanks mom!  Luckily, eCost.com still has some in stock so I was able to order another.  It shipped today and should arrive next week.  Hopefully my parents won’t steal this one as well.  lol
