IOWA
We still haven't heard about the job... but either way, we are planning on staying here in Hawaii. We have an entire list of reasons, so let me just say that we think it's the right thing for us to do right now.
WII
Since we no longer have to hoard our money for a move to the mainland, we actually got to have a Christmas - we bought a Wii! We couldn't even wait for Christmas Eve/ Day to break it out and start playing. We love it! I have impressed Dave with my mad boxing and hula hooping skills, and he has impressed me with his wonderful snowball fighting skills.
I have also been reminded why my brother didn't like me watching him play Nintendo - because I make little noises the whole time - Gasps, Ooh's!, Watch Out's!, Oh no's!, etc. Dave's also taken joy in discovering a new side of his wife, as I trash-talk and name-call all the villians. (Just things like, "All right, bring it on," or, "Show me whatcha got, Ugly." Nothing bad or vulgar - those things I keep in my head.)
TV
Funny story... we don't have a TV. :) So how are we playing the Wii? Well, the first couple of days, Dave had his projector from work, so we were using that... but then he took it back to work... so we haven't played it since lol. We are now in the market for a TV or projector, and since it hurts me to think about how much we spent on the Wii, I'd REALLY like everyone's help in keeping eyes and ears open for good deals. I thought it would be smart to wait until the day after Christmas, because people will hopefully be upgrading and getting rid of old TV's.
So, to all our friends and family, and especially those nearby, if you hear of any good deals in stores, online, or of someone getting rid of their TV, pleeeeease let us know quickly so we can jump on it.
Thank you, and Mele Kalikimaka
