I have been MIA in the blogosphere this week. Last week I posted almost everyday. Something of a record for me lately.
Part of my MIA status has to do with the fact that I have had to work quite a bit more than I usually do. But truth be told, I have sat at my computer, but have spent my cyber time on Facebook instead of blogging. Shocking, I know.
And what was I doing on Facebook? Updating my status? Connecting with long lost friends? No. I was wasting precious time on Bejeweled Blitz. This is a game that is ridiculously addicting. I am pretty sure it is of the devil. Doesn't even the name sound satanic?
And I am not even good at this game. But somehow when each game ends, I can not resist the temptation to try just one more time, to get a higher score. It is bad people, I tell you. And before you know it 30 minutes turns into half an hour and then suddenly you have sat there for hours.
At least when you blog, you have a lovely post to show for your time wasted and housework ignored. I can rationalize blogging into really being time spent on family history work/journal keeping. Right. But not matter how much I try I can not find a good excuse to spend hours switching jewels around to make them disappear.
Oh well, I am not even going to try any more to justify it. I will just embrace my latest addiction, at least it is calorie free.

I hear about people who are on FB all day, and I just can't figure it out! But I've never played any of the games, so maybe that's why.
Now I feel so ashamed about my regency revelry game (hanging my head)
Ha Ha....Mine is scrabble, I have an ongoing game going with a Samoan friend and it makes me soooo mad because this person who speaks English as a second language can kick my butt every single time....yep so I keep trying "just one more time" It so addicting!
Mine is Spider Solitaire.
I even have an unpublished post about it!
WHAT??? You are on FB and we aren't friends??? Well that must change! Mine is wordtwist! hahaha!!
I've wasted my last hour playing that fiendish game. My scores keep going down, so I think I'm either burned out or getting dumber by the day.
Everytime I click on "Play Again?" I wonder if someone somewhere is getting a nickle for every time I sink another minute into that time waster. I just can't figure out how it works.
Facebook really should have one of those pop-ups that reminds you to take a break every half hour or something.
Great... now you KNOW I am going to have to go over to my FaceBook and try it...
and now you are officially going to be tagged with the new nickname as Satan's HELPER!!! :)
LY

Shelle, if it is all the same to you I would rather have the nick name Satans minon. K. Thanks.
Lisa, I know it is so aggravating. Did you see where Trent sat down in 20 minutes beat my high score it took me days to get. Sheesh.
Oh and April, I guess my work here is done. Your welcome.
Oh and April is so very good at wordtwist too..it became my obsession to try to beat her but I never could. But I finally did in scramble....I am the leader YESSSSS!
April has been kicking my butt at wordtwist forever... and now she'll be beating my Bejeweled Score? Okay, game on - I'll have to play a game of that tomorrow! (because of course I would do that on a Sunday... right?)
I don't do much with FB and now I guess I know why. I would never get anything done either!

Oh my goodness. I just hate it when 30 minutes turns into half an hour!
