The Sewing Mom

I woke up this morning trying to decide what I was going to accomplish today. My first thought of course went to my sewing room. I do have one tote bag that I need to make, but I really haven’t felt very motivated to sew the past few weeks. I will get there, just maybe not today.

Yesterday, while in Target, my daughter discovered they had a Wii Fit in the glass case of the video game aisle. Well, we just had to have it! I bought it just in the nick of time, as a couple of ladies walked in behind me and were disappointed that I had just beat them to it. Sorry ladies!

Anyway, my daughter had a friend over all afternoon yesterday and so we never had time to even check out our new Wii Fit. She convinced me this morning that we needed to open it and check it out. So, here it is, waiting to be plugged in. My tackle for today is to hook it up and figure out how it works! I’m a bit nervous, but I look at it as an investment in my health! I want it to get my off my butt!

On a more serious note, I also tackled my fear of the doctor and called this morning and got an appointment for my well woman check up. From there, I’ll be scheduling my mammogram and hopefully a bone density test as well.

In my seemingly never ending quest to find a Nintendo Wii, I am feeling somewhat defeated. Do you realize the Nintendo Wii game consoles were introduced to the public over a year ago and they still aren’t available in stores? What the heck is up with that? I think it’s a marketing strategy or else it’s very poor planning.

There are days when I’m okay with the fact that I haven’t yet become a Wii owner since the games themselves are $50+ each. But, they are pretty cool and so I continue my quest, someday, I do hope that we have our own Wii in our house.

I am an internet shopper, so it only seems natural that I would spend time online shopping for the Wii.  Although I have yet to find it to purchase, I do occasionally run across other ways to get my hands on a Wii, mainly through contests. Today is no different.

In an effort to build their high-speed interenet business, Charter is offering the chance to win a Nintendo Wii. If I’m the winner, not only will I receive the Wii console, I’ll also get a Wii stand, 5 games, 1 remote controller, 1 nunchuck controller, 1 sensor bar, 1 Wii AC adapter, and 1 Wii AV cable. So, with all that, if I’m the winner, I can play as soon as I receive my prize! I’m definitely entering this contest.

Although I do plan on winning, Click Here for a Chance to Win a Nintendo® Wii™! and enter the contest yourself.  Good Luck!

While you’re there, you can register to bid on a lifetime of Charter High-Speed Internet. Bids start at $10. Now, wouldn’t that be cool, never having to pay for internet service again!
