Don’t buy it. Wait for your birthday. That’s what I did.

The family celebrated my birthday on Sunday. Rather than hunt for a Wii Fit, I asked and received. Same deal with Wii Mario Kart. Being a guy, I fall into and have enjoyed the hunt and kill of shopping. The Wii Fit was said to be selling out. I wanted one. I could have fallen into an old routine of driving around in search of one. If not today, then the search would resume the next time I had some time to spare. I could have done this with the Wii Fit. I have done it with other purchases in the past. The point is that I waited, asked, and learned.

Urban Hunting

I waited to receive as a gift. I learned to stop and in doing so, reviewed in my head a past enjoyment which is urban hunting. Planning which stores to search for the latest want. Lining up an alternative location if the item could not be found. Making small talk with sales clerks about product delivery days. Then……making the kill and stuffing it into my trunk then driving home…sometimes with buyers remorse. Not this item. I waited and received. As for the Wii Fit, the kids are having more fun with it than I am. Yea, I know the birthday comes only once a year, but if it’s close, wait to receive.
