To Gregg and Tim:

I have been as nice as I can about the whole Nintendo thing even though I don't understand the obsession. As Gregg mentioned in his blog I even initiated you guys playing online together. But as I mentioned to Dianne (whose side is she on anyway?) the Mario Kart Madness is starting to effect my TV time and my time with my husband. I don't even watch TV that much. In fact, the only show I really want to watch is American Idol and maybe Greta or Bill O'Reilly and of course Blues hockey but that we agree on. Since American Idol is usually on during the Blues game Tuesday I have even given up watching that. Mainly because I can completely understand the Blues obsession (sorry Gregg. I guess that says something about my character, too). But little did I know when I called Gregg to race Tim online what this would lead to. Tim has even gone as far as suggesting other things to occupy me. The other night he said, "why don't you go take a bath, honey?". He was trying to act like a nice husband who wanted his wife to relax but I read right through it. He was really trying to buy more nintendo time! Then there was the night that he said "Just one more game babe and then we can watch a movie together." Well one more game turned into 10 more games and he didn't even realize I had given up and just gone to bed (or he realized it and was secretly pleased). What makes it even worst is that Marissa is into the whole Mario Kart thing. So now its 2 against 1 in our house. On weekends she can stay up as late as she wants and join in on the whole madness.
As Tim mentioned, there is a solution to the whole disagreement and that would be to move the Wii downstairs. Of course that only solves one part of the problem which is me being able to watch TV in my living room. It doesn't solve the problem of me not getting to spend time with my husband. I can get over that though. After all, we do work together all day.
And for the record, I didn't even buy that darn game. My cousin let him borrow it, along with both remotes. So if I really wanted to solve the problem I could just pack it up and send it back to her. But I am way to nice to do that, right?

Maybe you should try to get involved with your family's interests! For example, I do things with the three females in my house all the time that I have no interest in.

Also, I don't think Dianne is picking sides on this one, but I do want to mention that SHE has her very OWN Nintendo DS, so I'm guessing you might just lose. I don't know this for SURE though.

I'm guessing I'll see you all online later tonight?

Remember, I'll be Yoshi!

LOL this is too FUNNY! You know Tim actually offered to buy us the thing that makes our wii go on line. He is obsessed. We do have the game, and it is very fun. Maybe you should try it and kick some booty...

I think the women need to find some online Wii shopping game that we can compete to see who can spend the most money. That'd get their attention. ;-) It's my kids who are wacked on this thing. Gregg wants to play Wii with my kids since my dh would just give him a blank look. I probably won't be able to homeschool them because they'll be up all night. LOL
