So my mom calls me last night and says I want to get a wii for Rob and Lynsday for christmas. I pretty much left out a laugh and said yeah good luck with that, but I will go out tomorrow and look for you.
First stop toys R us. Place is a madhouse and it seemed everyone was in electronics arguing with the cashiers about how they want to place a hold on a wii so when the truck gets in that they are guaranteed one and the cashiers cannot do that, don't yell at them about it. So I didn't even ask.
Next was Target, again electronics was really busy, I snuck a peak into the case, it was empty, so no luck there.
Gamestop had the boxes on the shelves but they were empty. I don't understand why they have the boxes sitting out if there are none is stock.
EB Games, again no luck.
I stopped into Dic(k)s to get my brother a gift card for christmas, I had decided not to check walmart, but then thought what the heck it is right there. The guys asks if I want to donate a dollar to St. Judes and I say sure. So maybe for once karma is finally coming back (I almost always will donate expecially around the holidays, I don't have much right now but it is more then a lot of others) to me because I get to walmart and
...there they were, two on them sitting in the case. I look up at a guy in the working near by and say are there really wii's in there or are they the display case boxes. He said nope they are in there, you just need to go and ask a cashier to get them out. So I am standing in line going please don't let two other people get them before me.. Somehow no one ahead of asked for one, and I was able to walk out with what I thought was the most impossible gift. I asked her how many they had gotten in and she said 12. Then I am thinking please don't let me get jumped on the way out to my car as people are going crazy to get these things. It boggles my mind what people will do to get something, yeah I was excited to find one, but it is just a game system and my world will not come crashing down if I didn't find one.
So I am walking out, and I call my mom and say you wont believe it, but I actually found one! She asked how many where there and I said two. She wants one too, and said go back and get the other. I was 99.9% sure it was already gone as there was a women asking me on the way out of electronics if there were any left. I also figured that there was a one pr person limit and that they are in such high demand right now even if there wasn't, it wouldn't be fair to walk out with two. We can always get one for ourselves after the holiday rush.
But Yay! I bit of luck came my way for once. Now all we need is for Buttons to get back to her old self and to pass my test tomorrow. I will be one of the happiest most thankful person for a long time.

Edit to add: You better believe I will be posting a brag too when Buttons get better. I say when and not if, because I have been in such a slump for the last week over Buttons being so hurt, how hard of a time she has just walking, and that there has been just some improvement. But just finding something as trivial as a wii gives me hope that sometimes stuff I think is nearly impossible isn't. That I need to have more faith in things, sometimes I am such a pestimistic person because I am afraid of being let down and don't want to get my hopes up.
