Candy Crush

     I woke up around 5am.  It's a new thing that has been happening.  It gives me quiet time I guess but my thoughts are usually filled with the overwhelming amount of things I have to deal with.  I stayed still for a bit but once the sun was up I busted open the computer.  I noticed someone had played a new game on facebook.  Now let me state that I've never gotten into those mad little birdies.  I also deleted my farms from the ville sometime last year because they were time suckers.  My compulsive blitz days are over...maybe once a month I get the urge to play a few times but that's it.  Oh and then there's Words.  If you know that I play then you are mad at me because I let my games sit so long that they get dusty...and then automatically resigned.  :( Sorry to those victims.  Turns out I play Words with NOT Such a Good Friend. 
     It has been at effort to not let these time thieves take me from the important things in life.  I try to do the other things instead.  But this morning (thanks to Jackie....grrrr) I found a game that is colorful, blitz-like and involves levels and challenges.  I did alright and only played until real life needed me. 
     Let me state for the record that I went on to have a nice day  involving quality time with my peeps and a day trip to the lovely town of New Hope.  I was so tired that I didn't even write this post. 
So here I am on Sunday morning...in bed...and guess what?  I had to play.  Turns out that if you lose a life you have to wait a certain amount of time to play again.  This is a wonderful little meter for a junkie.  You simply don't have a choice but to walk away.  This am with my little sidekick cheering me on I played four more rounds.  They were fast and I was successful and Ethan was excited.  But I am now stuck on level 20.  Seems that Facebook wants you to suck your friends in as well. 
     So to my dearest friends, family and FB peeps...anyone want to play Candy Crush?  Maybe you could play while:
--waiting for the load of laundry to spin
--relaxing in your lounger
--sitting in a waiting room
--lounging at your beach house
--hoping for that phone call
--thinking about your garden plans
--having trouble sleeping
--bathing in sunshine
--waiting for the pool to fill
--watching the paint dry

Here's to reaching the next level!
