Wii're crazy!

I will admit that I am horrible at making final decisions. I'm really indecisive and I hate committing to anything, especially if it costs a lot of money. So how is that I made two big purchases on the same day?

Monday afternoon, Dustin and I went out for lunch at The Farmhouse in downtown Gilbert. Absolutely yummy, by the way. When we were done we realized we had an extra half hour so we ran into the furniture store next door to look at beds. I've been looking for a long time and it seems whenever we have the extra cash, I can't find one I like, and the second I find one I like, we've already allocated those funds somewhere else. back to the story -- we had decided to use our tax refund to stimulate the economy like my buddy GW wants us to, so we have been on the hunt.

Looking through the store we found some stuff we like, but we're really particular and nothing was perfect. Browsing through we did find one bed we thought was semi cool but the matching furniture was HIDEOUS. A saleswoman found us and was so sweet to take down all our requirements and promised to send us some possibilities since we were on such a tight time schedule. Dustin ran out to get the car while I showed her a couple of bed styles we liked. One of them was the bed with the hideous furniture. I mentioned we liked the bed, but not the matching furniture. Sales lady tells me that she's sure she can find furniture to co-ordinate and the bed is on sale. Then I run out to the car because we're late picking Nate up.

I mention that the bed is on sale to Dustin, who can barely remember the bed. Anyway, long story short, he calls the lady and talks her down a little bit, runs to go look at the bed again and calls me from the store to ask me to commit. AHHH! Deer in the headlights moment for me. I must have been feeling impulsive because we bought a bed. It comes on Friday and I am so excited.

Also on the same day I'm on the phone with my sister. I mention that Dustin wants to buy a Wii as soon as Rock Band comes out for the Wii because he loves that game so much. Kathleen then tells me to start looking now because they're really hard to find. I tell Dustin who informs us that he can find a Wii no problem. We sort of challenged him to find one that day, joking that knowing how "golden" Dustin is, he'd be able to find one in a manner of minutes.

So of course he found one. And now we own it.

And we love it! The kids have been having so much fun -- even if they're terrible. Nate actually doesn't pay attention to anything at all. He sort of just throws his arms around and does really stinking well. We're talking home runs, strikes, birdies. . .
The bad part about them not paying attention is that they roam and run into each other. We've been lucky that no one has been whacked in the head yet.

Sadie finds the Wii very entertaining and is our best cheer leader. She is also a gangsta with her one sock.
So gives us the heads up on good Wii games for a 5 year old and a 3 year old. And maybe some D and I can enjoy too. We of course have the sports and we have Wii Play as well. Plus Mario Super Smash Brother I think?

Also, I think Dustin and I have done a part to stimulate the economy enough -- so maybe we should be Republicans now ;p
