Christmas is over

Finally.....I finished putting away the last of the Christmas lights over the weekend. I had to completely re-organize my storage shed to accomodate the many "new" things that I used this year. I made a decision to start setting up my display on October 01, 2007. I believe that this will give me adequate time to put up all my decorations. I started way too late this past year and by the time I knew it, Christmas was already here. So I think the earlier start will help.

Santa brought Jacob a RoboSapien V2 for Christmas. On the surface this appeard to be a really cool toy. However, the robot never worked right. It would stand up and then fall flat on its face. I contacted the manufacturer, but the only way to reach them was via email. So after about a week they emailed me back. They told me to make sure the batteries were installed correctly. Wow! I never would have thought of that! Needless to say, I wasn't too impressed with their customer service (or lack thereof). So we decided to return the robot (with Santa's permission) and get Jacob the Nintendo Wii. The only problem now is that you cannot find a Wii anywhere (except Ebay where they want up to $800 for one). So I have been calling around, but no luck. No one has them. No one knows when they will be in. .....

Can't Wii all just get along?
