CALLING ALL GAMING GEEKS!!!

I am in need of feedback. Christmas is right around the corner and I have a huge decision to be making....Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii? Nat has been going on and on for monthes about the Xbox 360--until this evening. He has decided that maybe he would rather get less costly gifts so he can get more than one. If he was to receive the Xbox 360 for Christmas it would have to be a combined gift from me and Memaw & PapPap.

Tonight we saw a commercial for a new game system called Wii by Nintendo. It looks really interesting and it is a little cheaper than the 360. Being completely selfish I like Nintendo b/c they are the folks who make the Donkey Kong games--I am always hoping a new version will come out. Maybe this is my chance to get new DK action.

Right now the game selection for the Wii is pretty limited. Normally we rent the games from the local video store instead of buying them. I need to call and see whether they have the new Wii games yet or how soon they will be.

They are already offering Mario versions of the Wii games. We have always enjoyed playing them together. Well, not really playing them together. Nat does all the work and I give my advice on how to find something or how to get somewhere.

Tomorrow is the big day. The day that this year has been building up to....I sign up for the Indy Mini. I am so excited! I have been feeling a little flu-ee and the pinched nerve in my neck has been bothering me today but nothing is going to stop me. Even if I have to walk into the sign-up vomitting w/ a crooked neck I will be there.

Although I really enjoyed Thanksgiving day dinner w/ the Carvers it just wasn't the same w/o the folks. I just didn't get enough of my favorites. So I have decided my first major meal after the Mini will be my mom's Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of homemade stuffing, sweet potatoes, noodles, and her new cranberry salad I have not yet been able to try. Mom, start planning your meal now and how you are going to have it prepared for when I get home. Of course you will have to accomplish all of this while cheering me on at the Mini--a hundred miles from the kitchen.

Maybe this could be a new family tradition....Thanksgiving in May. It would go along with the cookie making tradition you started for Nat's sake a couple of years ago. Nothing like making Christmas cookies and getting schnockered at the same time! :^) Remember the fun we had Cole?
