To Wii or not to Wii?

I started this morning fairly looking forward to 5:00 PM. Reason for this is that my mom and I were planning to go get me a Wii after work and before our evening group. I was pretty tired this morning due to the fact that right when I wanted to go to bed, my sister's cat, Phoenix, decided he had to incessantly howl at my window wanting in my room. By the time he finally quit, allowing me to go to sleep, it was already 1:00 AM so I only got about 5 hours of sleep since I had to wake at 6:30 AM.

I had to call a friend of my mom's and find out if she was going to bring her daughter's computer to the office so I could work on it. Luckily, she didn't want to get out in the cold weather so I'll have to do that another day. Honestly, I am getting rather tired of all the reschedules but at least this time it was a good thing. Reason why is some time before we were going to head out, my mom asked me to get her car keys and start the van to warming. I did so, sprinting through the bitter cold to the van and quickly got it started and made sure the heater was going. I didn't check the windshield at that time but I did so when I went to put things in the van and it was fine. Everything was going smoothly as usual.

When we were finally ready to go we started out of the house and I made a comment about hoping the van would be nice and warm for us when we got out there. My mom responded saying that it wouldn't be because it was off. I thought she was joking. Sure enough, she wasn't. The van had completely shut off for some unknown reason. My mom tried and tried but the van would not turn on whatsoever aside from all the interior lights flickering pitifully. I still honestly think I must have done something wrong but neither I, nor my mom can figure out what I did although my mom insists it wasn't my fault. Honestly? It worked just fine all the other mornings when she started it, then it fails the day I do. Yeah, either it's horrible coincidence or I did something wrong. I think the latter.

We decided to give the van some time to recharge as we believe it was a battery problem likely due to battery fluids freezing though we do not know for certain. My mom called her boss to let him know the situation and that we would be late. In case you're wondering, no, I do not work for her boss, I just go in with my mom on Friday's to make it easier for me to go to our women's church group thing we have. That aside, 30 min go by and the van still will not start. Even more time and it still will not start. Finally, my mom had to call one of her friends to come pick us up. This is not the one I have to fix the comp for. I can't spell her name, if I could, I'd put her name.

My mom and I relaxed and played on our computers while we waited for my moms friend to take us to work. During that time my mom found a Sonic coupon for a buy-one get-one-free deal for Sonic burgers that she said we would use to buy us something to eat before group. My mom's friend was so nice about taking us in to work and I am very grateful she was willing to do that for us. We got to work at about 10:30 AM so our day felt pretty short. Actually, my day still seemed fairly long despite the cut in time I had to spend there. I spent most of it playing Facebook games and Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my DS. My mom noticed a website called Newegg.com. Apparently she saw this posted on Facebook and you can find A LOT of Wii games for reasonable prices. I had fun looking things up and seeing how many of the games I wanted was being sold on this site. To my surprise, most of my list was on there.

After I was done I played a bit more Phantom Hourglass but I soon had to help to clean the office. This is actually the second of the two reasons I go to my mom's work with her on Fridays. I get paid to help clean and this is how I am earning my money I am going to use on my Wii. Of course, I forgot to mention one thing. Since our van never started today, this rendered us unable to go get it. So sadly to say, I did not get my gaming system today though my mom told me if our van starts up tomorrow that she will take me into town to get it since we did not drive into town ourselves so it wouldn't be any extra gas though I will not get my hopes up as I'm sure something will get in the way. Something always does and it's usually something no one has any control over so there is no one to blame for it.

We finished all the cleaning then headed out to get dinner. Turns out instead of going to Sonic, my mom's friend and her two daughters decided they wanted to go to the oriental restaurant, Lin's. I've only been there once before with a friend and love it. It's an all you can eat buffet so that makes it even better especially since I love oriental food. My mom had never been there before but she said she loved it. I ended up eating three plate fulls of food. I even got brave and tried a crab leg. The first one tasted nice but the second was too salty and sweet so I didn't like it. I decided that I just don't like it and will never eat it again. I ate waaaay too much. But it was good aside from the smell of the concoction Sarah had created on her plate out of boredom when she was done. She kept daring me to eat it but I knew better than that. That girl is extremely hyper and a bit irritating because of it but overall she is a very nice girl and I get along with her really well. She and her sister, Amanda, both. We laughed and joked constantly till we had to part after group.

We soon drove to group. They had ordered a couple of pizzas to eat while they waited for everyone to arrive. I wanted some but I didn't eat any as I was far too stuffed to take even one bite. Group was really nice. We all sat at the table and discussed righteousness and how it our perspective of it can differ from God's perspecive and how we much strive to attain his perspective of it. I ended up often by little James, Stephanie's son. I couldn't help it. He is so darn adorable and his word for pizza is too cute. He calls it "Pi-sha". That of course is just my spelling of how it sounds. He asked for pizza alot. He is only about 2 years old so you can likely imagine just how cute that was.

One of the women there brought over some Avon products for us to have if we wanted them. Everyone took turns picking something out. I didn't think I would since I don't use makeup but I ended up taking something too just cause. Plus my mom told me the color would look good on me. I hope she's right. Why am I typing about this? I dunno. Just figured I'd add it too.

Group seemed to end quicker tonight than the other nights. I think I enjoyed it more today though I was glad when it was over as it meant I could finally go home and relax, and unfortunately start working on this blog post. I'm surprised I didn't put it off till tomorrow morning, I'm just too tired for this right now but I want it done. Before we left our group building, Jeannette, another of my mom's friends, well she's my friend too, let us take home the remainder of the pizza which was almost a whole pizza. We took it knowing it would make my sister happy. She absolutely loves cold pizza so it was a nice surprise for her when we brought that home.

I did not do much after coming home aside from setting up my laptop in my mom's room for a short time and played in there so that I could chat with her before bed though she and I both became pretty tired rather quickly. She went to bed and I came in here to finish up some Facebook games and write on my blog. I'm sure I am leaving out a great number of details from my day that would be fairly interesting to read but I do not really feel like going through and figuring out what other things are good enough to post. I'm tired so I'm going to bed now. This post is long enough as it is.
