Have you heard of the game Spore? I kept seeing ads for it in the Sunday paper and so I thought I’d better research it. I asked DH. (There is my research, remember… he writes games.) He said people at his work thought that it was fun and that was all I needed to hear… Now we have it and we are addicted. Okay, mostly my 9 year old is and I have to keep up with her right?! It is rather sad when we are playing and I say that I need some skill and she says mom, just do this. Ohhh… nothing makes you feel older than when your kids start catchin’ on quicker than you… sigh… Anyway, we are making lots of creatures and it is sucking up way too much of our time right now. All in the name of family fun right?!

Psst… Is it bad that I think maybe I could play for just a bit this morning while my girls are in camp? (No school today.) Instead of making beads? YES! Off to melt glass… stay away from the highly addictive computer game!

It is that time again… my computer is outdated and I need to upgrade. There are a few items that I have been salivating over and they will not work with my current setup, so I’m preparing to upgrade my system. DH had offered to build me a computer so I don’t get stuck with all that software that I don’t really want and that drives me crazy! Did you know that you can pick your case? I had no idea! Although the ones that had cool front lights really appealed to me… I ultimately went with the most girlie box in the bunch! What can I say? Who can turn down swarovski crystals on a computer case?!
