Expeditions with the Wii

We have had serious expeditions with trying to get the Wii. I called tons of places last night, and almost none of them were selling last night, so we decided we would get up early this morning and try to get one. We went to K-mart, and we were the first ones there, but decided we would wait in the car until someone else got there that we needed to compete with to be in line. So shortly later another lady showed up, and so we were second in line, but it ended up they only had 1. So we did not get one, because we spent 5 minutes in the car, instead of in front of the door.

Then our journey continued as we went all about the Provo-Orem area, looking for any place that was likely to sell Wiis. Most were already spoken for, some did not even have any, and then there was one that was not supposed to be open today, Circuit City. So after we eliminated all the other options, we decided that we would go to Circuit City and camp out, so that tomorrow when it opens, we will be able to acquire our very own Wii.

So about 3 and 1/2 hours ago, we arrived at circuit city, and set up camp. We set up the tent (which we were fortunate to actually be able to set up because there was a random cart full of cinder blocks), and ate a few snacks, and then Janardan started to take a nap, holding our place in line while I came home to make us some real food. In 18 hours, the store opens, and we will be the proud owners of a Nintendo Wii. I forgot to take my camera earlier, so I will take it with me later, but there will be pictures forthcoming. Today I told Janardan that I have never seen so many tents in the front of stores before. Now I am one of them!

Update on Projects

So I got my sewing machine back from the service shop today, and figured out that I have no idea were th pedal is. I called my sister and asked her if she had it at her house, and searched every nook and cranny of my house, but it was nowhere to be found. I was really excited to make a new winter skirt with fabric that I had bought today, so I cut it out, and just started on it turning the side thingy to do my stitching. It was a long laborious process, but it yielded a nice skirt to wear to church tomorrow. (Also the shirt is purple, even though it looks black in the picture. I don't know why.

I also finally took close-up pictures of my project pieces, since getting them off of my sister's computer seems not likely to happen. I would put them in some kind of order, but I am lazy.
These will be the writing pieces, representing what each of the four civilizations used to write on.
This is the Chinese man.
This is the Mesopotamian man.
This is the Greek woman
This is the Egyptian man.
This is the wall of China
This is the Discus Thrower (Greek).
This is a terracotta chariot (Chinese)
This is a Ziggurat (Mesopotamian)
This is the Parthenon (Greek)
This is an Egyptian statue, which should be more visible once done with thread.
This is the pyramid.

I haven't hemmed my skirt yet, and will probably wait until I have a real sewing machine, but I still plan on wearing it to church tomorrow. I also have fabric to make one more skirt, but I will wait until I have a pedal to do that. Well that is all for now.

Ok, so facebook was being dumb, so I just uploaded them to TSC instead. So if you want to check them out, they are at TSC . They aren't arranged nicely into a very viewable format, so you just have to click through all the pictures to see them, and there aren't any thumbnails. Oh well, it will work for now, but hopefully I will be figuring out a way to get them into a more viewable format. That's them for now though.

PS my dress is so pretty. It looks especially good in the reception pictures.

Here are some wedding pictures:

Ok I am having problems uploading more pictures, so I will link to facebook, where I am putting all the pictures up, but I only have one album done, so I'll link when the second is done. This is just a teaser.
