I'm a Dancing... dancing... dancing... dancing machine!!!

For those of you that got a Wii for Christmas, you've either seen me drool over your console, or you've heard me whine over your blog or Facebook that I am nothing but jealous.

Then last night, the greatest thing happened... in walked my husband through the door.  NO - that's not the greatest thing that happened - he does that everynight.  But he walked in carrying a bag... & inside that bag?  A Wii!!!!!!!!!!

His sister & brother in law bought one a few months back but found that they dont ever play it - they are more prone to play their xbox, so this was just getting in the way.... so they asked if we wanted it for a great deal....

um... hello?  I've had drool hanging from my chin for awhile over wanting one... of course I wanted it.

And what made it even better?  They threw in Michael Jackson - The Experience Game...

So Ricky fell asleep early & I couldnt wait - so I pull up the manual online & figure out how this little contraption works & in no time, I was playing a round of tennis & bowling & getting ready to do a round of boxing.  But then I could feel the King of Pop calling my name...

I had to laugh that the "level" on THRILLER is labeled as "Inhuman"... no, I didnt even attempt it...

(You should see me attempting this move... We stand at what?  A 90 degree angle? 
I lean to probably a 87 degree angle... awesomeness right there!)

Oh yeah baby... I got the moves... was addicted to "Smooth Criminal".... & the whole time, Ricky was asleep on the couch

This morning, as soon as my eyes opened, I said, "I dont want to work today - I just want to dance to Michael Jackson"

Ricky looked so confused & said, "You were REALLY playing last night?" - he didnt know I hooked it up on my own. (Yes, he knows I'm really ill-equipped when it comes to anything technical)

I told him about the songs I kept playing over & over trying to get them down  & he was like "Whew!!! I thought I was dreaming you were dancing to Michael Jackson"

.... I should have just let him think he was dreaming...

Me dancing Michael Jackson has GOT to be the best dream he's ever had! :)

So Wii owners... what game MUST I get?  That I cant live without?  I already know I'm headed out to get the "Just Dance" & probably the GLEE Sing-along games. I just want a microphone.... yes, I'm a 13 yr old girl inside...

  3. Mario Kart.... hands down... haha

    We also have Boom Blox, which is really fun to play as a group.
    The new Epic Mickey is pretty neat, tho I like WATCHING more than playing! :-P
    And if you want a COMPLETE waste of time... Animal Crossing: City Folk. *giggle*

  4. Too funny! Just wait until you guys start recording each other! My dh snuck in and recorded me doing the Russian dance on Just Dance 2. I suspect the footage will be used as bribery somewhere down the road.

  5. Just Dance 1 & 2 for sure....the Russian dance is my favorite becauseI did mission work in Russia and know how to actually do those moves so I kick tail on that song only! I would suggest Mario Kart as well....it is highly competitive, addictive & fun! Great for when you have company of any age over as well.

  6. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and tell you right now that I am an expert at the Thriller dance. I know it by heart. I had to learn it for dance class years ago and break it out every now and then :) haha.

    I had no idea there was a Michael Jackson Wii game. This changes everything. I'm so happy for you! You will LOVE Wiiiiiiiiii!

  10. HA! You were totally able to cash in on one of my 2011 suggestions! :)

    Games? Uh, I think I'm still deciding, but I know Wii resort was a lot of fun when I played it at a friends house. Other than that, I've just stepped into this world, so I'm not much help.

  11. We HAD a Wii, until the boys switched it out to an X-Box 360 last year. I could've killed them! I'm looking at getting a Kinect.
