I won a Wii today!



Went to a convention last week and saw a lot of different vendors. Of all the contests there I never thought I'd win anything. Never gave it another thought. Came to work today and on my desk sits a FedEx box. I open it up, and lo and behold is the Wii. I guess I'll have to learn how to use it now. :)

3. Yes I was astounded to win such a thing.
They gave me Cars, from the Pixar movie. Might have me a gamer addiction soon. :rofl:

I was so suprised I even called the vendor to make sure it was mine and not sent by mistake.

6. Cool!
My stepson has one and I think I might buy one for my kids next Christmas as well. Usually video games bore the hell out of me, but this one's interactive and physically active, so I like it. Congrats! :woohoo:

21. Wii Sports is where its at!!
Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 09:39 PM by LibraLiz1973
Play Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Bowling and Boxing in the comfort of one's living room. No ball boys scurrying about, no oil from the alleys to get players dirty and no rain to keep anyone from a day at the court, park or course. Use the Wii Remote controller to mimic the actions of swinging a racket, bat or club, roll a ball down an alley or bring the left jab.
