did anyone else get funny things when they used their wii fit yesterday? ours acted like it was broken when wolf did his weigh in and then came back on and said april fools. when i went to do it, it said that the connection was broken and then said april fools.

synthesizedwave works at a game stop, so i asked him to hold a Wii for me the next time they got a shipment. he called me on monday telling me that he had one for me. i get out there and he hands me a bag with a wii, extra controller w/ mini game pack, and extra nunchuck thing and says "this is from me and ashly to make up for all the missed christmases and birthdays". i was like huh?, totally not comprehending it at first. i looked through the bag and found gift receipts. then it hit me, and i was like holy crap! i'd give him a hug, look in the bag some more, and give him another hug. i think i cried somewhere in there. it's easily one of the most generous things anyone has ever done for me (well, anyone that's not related to me or dating me).

after much searching, i found my wedding ring on saturday. it was totally nothing like what i thought i wanted, but when i put it on it just felt right. it's kind of a plain band with three diamonds in the center. because the economy sucks, they were having a crazy sale, and i got a $712 ring for $327! the funny part is, i dragged my poor mother around to 10 jewelry stores saturday morning, and i found my ring at another store after dropping her off at her luncheon. as a thank you, i bought her an opal and chrome diopside pendant and am giving it to her at lunch today.

speaking of mommy, her surgery is scheduled for april 18th. it is indeed a tumah, but it is about 1/3 the size of a pea. that's still pretty large for that area. to get to it, they will have to remove the back half of 2-4 neck bones and not put them back, which is kinda weird. this whole thing is really rare unless preceeded by major trauma, so that's also kinda weird. we're praying the surgery will go smoothly and also that the nerve damage (ie: arm pain) won't be permanent.
