Obsessions

So last week we were having some technical difficulties and I wasn't able to post. This week...well, let's just say this is going to be short and sweet because I may need to make a run to the bathroom at any minute...that's how the last day and a half has been. (sigh)

So...onto my topic...Obsessions. I don't get it really. What is so awesome about video games? I've decided that my husband, Scott, is seriously obsessed with playing video games. And I just don't get it. I mean, I can understand playing them as a young boy up through college maybe, but I just find it so interesting that he still loves to play....and it's not just him either....there are at least a handful of guys who will play online with him. (thank you XBOX live) The boy would play for hours on end if I let him too. Lately he's been getting in some really good playing time because I have been completely worn out, will come home from work, and crash in bed...and then of course there are the days when I'm horribly sick and not even getting out of bed except to go to the bathroom. I sure hope he's enjoying this time of game playing because once Baby O comes, well, I have a feeling it's going to be a different story. Can anyone else relate?

  1. Oh sweet mercy, can I relate? Um, yes. I occasionally think that wives around the world should band together for some kind of class action suit against the "brilliant" minds behind XBOX live. I have to admit, there is not quite as much of it around my house as there used to be, but oh there have been times...

    Google 'gaming addiction' sometime and see what you come up with. Crazy stuff. There's even a treatment center in Fall City, WA called "reSTART" that's essentially rehab for internet/gaming addicts. The billionaires behind the gaming biz certainly know how to suck people in.

  4. Jen, I have tried to enjoy it - but I just can't get into it. It would make life a little easier if I could!

  7. How did I miss this fun. I love Xbox and if it weren't for the fact that I love to eat, need sleep, have to work and most of all love my lovely Mary, I would play Xbox until the Sun doesn't rise anymore.

    Scott, I'll see you on COD WaW later on this weekend I'm sure!! LOL!
