Online Games

No, not online gaming, just games that are online....more specifically myspace apps is what I am talking about.

I am very opinionated, no doubt about it right?! Well I have tried many many of the apps off of myspace, and let me tell ya something, its funny, none of the apps have managed to keep my attention for very long, none except for Super Poke Pets. I have played upwards of 30 applications/games off of that website, and only SPP has managed to keep my attention for a long time. The only game I still have besides that one is Mafia Wars, and that is only because I have recruited so many people on it... But SPP is the main game I play. :)
(imagine an evil laugh here)

So, to explain, its a virtual pet, not like super pets in some ways, because you can not fight other pets, but you can play with other pets, and you can design your own habitat, and collect things on there. It is a great game, and sadly, kind of addictive. I have found myself spending a lot of time on there trying to get this or that or the other. Not being able to completely find all I am looking for, because they sold out or were retired a long time ago, and no one wants to part with them, unless you have gold items (which costs real cash btw) And I can not spend our money on that. But the game is fun, decorating rooms and the sort. Every Thursday they come out with new items, and you earn coins by playing with other peoples pet, as well as your own. Its fun. I have gotten the little one into playing it, and she has adopted two pets, plus we have one on hubby's account as well.

So, here is a snapshot of my current habitat. I just wanted to share it, because I am quite amused with this game, and think its pretty fun and wonderful!

If you would like to play the game find it in the myspace app gallery, or click on my pet and add it....its really grrreat I tell ya.... And ADDICTING...

Winter Blues

Winter is a beautiful time of year, seeing the untouched snow, is absolutely amazing. And besides the cold, winter is actually nice.

Many people suffer from a depression, or depression symptoms that occur only during the winter, or worsen during the winter. Some would say it doesnt really exist or that people are just being dramatic.

Winter Blues, or whatever its medical term is, is an actual ailment. It exists. Dont doubt it.

Winter is a hard time of year for many people. I have seen my mom go through the winter blues every year. The winter always seems to be the worst time of year for her.

This year, I think it may have hit me too. The past few weeks, I have been very standoffish, so to speak, I have kept to me myself and my family, which isnt too unusual, but I have been feeling depressed, and I have felt a tremendous pressure on me (not a physical pressure, just an emotional one) Its hard to explain.

Times are tough all over the nation for everyone. And they seem to be getting only tougher. We are doing the best we can with what we have, but the pressure and stress sometimes gets to you.

I try my best not to let stress get to me at all, it doesnt work most of the time, because I am a pretty tightly wound person. Its just part of who I am. But I have also done my best to not let it show. Which sadly I have done a pretty good job of.

Anyway this week with my child being sick on top of all of this, has put me in more of a funk than I have been in, or so it feels to me, but I have also decided I needed to wake up and pull myself out, for family, for friends, for those who need me and who believe in me.

Winter blues exist people, dont let them get to you, and if they do, dont let them pull you down. And dont do what I have done, and stop emailing, talking to, and doing all that stuff. Especially if email is the only contact you have with certain people.

I am sorry for it. BUt I am doing my best to work through it.

I love you guys!
