You know the saying (or the Cinderella song) "Don't know what you got 'til it's gone"? Yes well, I have experienced this phenomenon with tomatoes. While I appreciate that every store and restaurant is removing them from shelves because they don't want to be liable for the Salmonella poisoning I may get, I really, really miss tomatoes. Now I can still buy them on the vine at the store, but no restaurant is serving them. I have discovered that I don't like salad without tomatoes and this evening I ordered a BLT and when I remembered that tomatoes were not an option and told the sandwich maker that I would like to change my order he said that it was too late. So I had bacon and lettuce on bread because I like a good juicy tomato instead of any kind of sauce. Please bring back my tomatoes, preferably Salmonella free.
A couple of months ago Jake said he wanted a PlayStation 3. I said he would have to sell his worldly possessions because that was definitely not in the budget this year. So, he sold his gun and PlayStation 2 and proudly reported that while he had enough money to buy the PlayStation 3, he would rather buy a Wii. So that's what we set out to do last Wednesday. We wanted a Wii and a WiiFit, which are not so easy to come by. Many thanks to Joe, who called every place within 20 miles of our house. We actually saw an area we had never seen before, downtown Nampa, when on our quest. Anyway, I'm not sure how we lived without a Wii, and more specifically the WiiFit. It's fun and exercise. What?! I always thought those terms were mutually exclusive. I honestly never thought a little gaming unit could be so fun. We actually haven't watched TV since we bought it and anxiously look forward to putting Mason to bed so we can get some solid Wii action. I highly recommend this device to just about everybody.

Isn't the Wii a fabulous thing?? We love ours. I expect a full report and review of the Wii Fit in some future post. :-)
Jake doesn't return my calls; now I know why. Maybe after rehab...
Wii rehab involves using the Wii as much as is possible. Just found on Wii sports I can do "Wii Fit" body test. It says my "Wii Fit" age is 58!!
Although my children's first experience with Wii was at Uncle Jake and Aunt Stephanie's house only 4 days ago, it was not their last. As soon as we got to their Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan's house, they experienced even more Wii, including Boom Blox and Guitar Hero. They now feel they are being deprived and neglected by parents who don't have such things to offer. Even I (who detests almost any form of video gaming) found myself intrigued enough to play for about an hour. It's a good thing you want to play this one standing up!
