Wiiiiiii!!!

I finally got it! I'm not a gamer at all, in fact, I think it's quite an expensive hobby. But, I love getting that one thing that is unattainable. This morning (and Mr. Pie said I was nuts for doing this), I stood in line with about 50 other people in front of Target, waiting for it to open. I was 12th [beaming]. After the doors opened at 8 am, we all marched in a straight line to buy this!
