I've heard it through the grapevine...and by grapevine, I mean Dianne...that you are blaming me, somehow, for your current inability to use your TV at night.
I would just like to say that I have NOT, in fact, held a gun to your husband's head and demanded that he play Mario Kart Wii until all hours of the night and/or morning with me online.
In fact, I believe that on a couple of different occasions, it was YOU who told ME that he was online playing. I just joined up!
It is also not my fault that Nintendo (are you listening Nintendo?) created such a fantastic game as Mario Kart and enabled it for online play! No. In fact, we are in a country that is built on freedom. Freedom. Tim is perfectly able to make the choice to play Nintendo online with me (a good choice) or watch sports on TV (a baffling choice that makes me question his character just a bit).
I'm also wondering where that Mario Kart game came from. Was it, in fact, a birthday or Christmas gift FROM YOU? I think it might have been, though I could be wrong on this count. I DO remembering you asking me what the name of the game was, though, for just such an occasion.
I'd say more, but I'm afraid that with the pregnancy hormones and all, I could possibly send you on some sort of emotional roller coaster and that would probably limit Tim's time online. So I'll say no more.
If you've got additional problems with this, then I challenge you to a BATTLE race on Mario Kart. May the best racer win!
I'm calling Yoshi.

Update: For Sarah's rebuttal, click this link!
HAAAAAAAAAAA! Thank you for your personal message, I am glad this was made clear. Sarah showed me this earlier today and I was hoping she would comment first...but I guess she is on that roller coaster you mention. I'll see you on the track- hint hint I'll be on tonight after the blues game....10.30ish. In Sarah's defense the past couple of nights I have gone to bed extremely early, no reason really but I will definately be getting my fix tonight!
There is a solution to all of this too, Sarah suggested I move the wii to the basement but I explained that we would barely see each other if I did that. She said that was OK?

now you have corrupted my sister-in-law. Tim bought her a wireless router for her birthday (more or less a present for himself) and she was up playing against you guys last night.
Stay away from my family evil Mario Man!
