We finally bought a Wii today. Well, we bought the console off his brother, and then bought the games at the store. We’ve been planning to get one since new year’s, and finally got it. Better late than never?

It’s pretty cute, I must say. I know I’m waaay behind the times in trying this console out for the first time, but I thought it was overrated for the longest time. And the fact that they are still impossible to get a hold of was a big turnoff, although it makes sense from a business standpoint. Nevertheless, I finally gave it a chance, or I will whenever he stops playing it!!

Now, if you remember correctly, we mainly decided to get one to use Wii Fit Plus. Eamon did a lot of research on studies of the software, and it seemed like a fun way to stay kind of in shape for those of us that don’t exercise. Me, basically. And since he knew we were getting one eventually, he stopped his usual exercise… “I’ll do it later.” Uuuuh huh. He keeps making such a big deal about wanting to build muscle fast, how he was so buff in high school and took all those protein pills, how he should be doing that again. Well, the minute we got it, he set it up and has been playing Paper Mario ever since, the new Wii Fit Plus box sitting unopened on the floor.

I feel like I’ve been duped. Will he ever actually use the fitness game?

And I still haven’t gotten a chance to play!!
