Hi friends and family. I have a confession. I am addicted to computer games.

You might be glad to hear, though, that I have not played a single computer game since I've been back, on Dec. 27th (okay, I played some on the plane, but come on ... it's a 4 hour trip). Numerous times I've felt the draw of Turbo 21, Poppit, Collapse, Word Whomp, Pyramids, Solitaire, on and on and on. Mostly those times like now ... I'm waiting for Dave to finish his shower so that we can go somewhere. It's too short a time to really get into something (like working on a mosaic), and I've already read everyone's blogs for today, and some news, the weather, my email. So in order to keep on fighting this massive addiction, I'm writing a blog entry. I think I feel it passing even now. My grandmother said over the holidays that when she quit smoking (after 1000 years of doing so.... go grandma!!), she would get these cravings, but then just do something else. She told herself if after a few minutes she was still wanting one, she'd have one. But the craving always went away when she busied herself with other activities. Whatever the heck they might be... they sure didn't involve blog entries :-)

I think Dave's done with his shower. And pretty soon I'll be on the road to my biggest (though least-often indulged) addiction of all... chicken picatta from The Cheesecake Factory :-)
