Gaming...

So, I love the game site POGO. You pay an annual due of 40 bucks (I think...) and you get to play all these kewl games (you CAN play for free but then you don't get to enjoy the perks, which I'll describe in a sec). If you pay this fee, you can win 'badges' which you can then collect in a badge book. Now these badges really have no value in real life. You can't trade them for say, a tank of gas or even a free doughnut! Nope..they just allow you bragging rights to OTHER pogo players! You also have a 'mini', which is a little person that you can dress and shop for cause yup..there is a 'mini mall'. Now, I don't know about the rest of the people on pogo, but my mini is who I'd LIKE to be. She is damn cute and skinny too! And she has more clothes than I'll ever have! How do you 'buy' things at the mall for your mini? Well..duh..you play the games and collect tokens! :) So simple really....such an innocent little site. Be forewarned if you are tempted to check it out, it IS addictive! Right Terri? :)
So...every week, on a Wednesday, I sit down and start to win one of my three weekly badges (three new challenges come out each Wednesday and once you win the challenge, why, you get another badge!WOOHOO)...as you can imagine, this can take up a nice chunk of time in the evenings...but as I really don't find much to hold my interest on tv and I DO want some downtime at the end of each day, I really LOVE my pogo.
So my dilemma was this. What do to with Mark? :)
I bought him a computer game for his Birthday this year. Half Life. It's like crack! Once you play it you can't stop. And THAT my dear friends, solved my dilemma of how to keep Mark happy while I played pogo!
So here I sit, blogging AND doing a challenge, while Mark is happily playing Half life. OH...and he is SUCH the gentleman that he wears headphones so he won't be 'bothering me'. WHEEEEE...I can play pogo AND make fun of him and he'll never know the difference! :)

Hugs to all,
