300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!300!!
Okay, got that off my chest...now for a fun story to go along with the excitement of the 300th post.
Memorial Day, Meredith and I hosted a cook out, and the skies didn't look like thy were going to hold out. The company was going to be a great mix of adults and kids, so we knew we had to keep everyone occupied, especially if it was going to rain.
So, we started talking about what to do. We have board games, and we also have a Nintendo Wii. Well, this was the perfect excuse to get a new Wii game. We haven't spent much on it, after all, but if people need to be entertained...then, it will be money well spent.
We decided to go to game stop to see if they had the new Wii Fit game in stock. Wii Fit is this exercise "game" that has something called a Balance Board...and it teaches you great posture, good exercise habits, and more...without it seeming like you are exercising. It had hit the stores just a few days before, and they have been wildly popular. We didn't know if anyone would have one, but it never hurts to see. Plus, people needed us to have it :)
Game Stop was the first place we went. They had all sorts of displays for it. However, they were nothing more than displays. Just empty boxes with empty promises...okay, I won't go that far. The guy working was really nice, and let us know when the shipments would come in, and that we could check, because you aren't allowed to reserve them. Meredith and I started talking. No Wii Fit! We might have to get something else. Guitar Hero?!?! Cranium Kabooki?!?! We could have gotten a great deal on Guitar Hero. It just didn't seem right, though, because that wasn't what we wanted. We decided to leave the games there, and head home.
On the way back, though, we were getting ready to pass Blockbuster. The thought occurred to me that not many people think about Blockbuster being the place that you can "purchase" new games. It was worth the shot to see. So, Meredith runs in to talk to the workers. What a fun story!
Turns out, they had ONE left in store. However, it had one of the employees' name on it. The lady working said, "It's been here for a week, though. He should've already bought it if he was going to get it. I'll sell it to you." Meredith didn't want to just take it, so the lady text the guy about it. After a few minutes, the text came back with "Go ahead and sell it."
So, you are reading about two of the newest owners of a Wii Fit!!!! It didn't rain, but a lot of the kids and adults still played on the new contraption. Meredith is doing great on it, and I...well, I still need to set up my profile. I'll get there. Need to lose some weight anyway...
Have a great day,
