Baby Girl had asked for this as one of her Birthday gifts and she got it. It was so late Thursday evening by the time we got home that there wasn't any time for anyone to try it out, so Friday night was Wii night! Everyone had a blast, Baby Girl is pretty good at it, Bubba and DH had me laughing so hard I was literally crying so much Baby Girl came over and wiped my tears as she laughed too! Ohhh the times I need to have the camera out, I tell ya!
Anyhow, we all played that game on and off everyday since, me and Baby Girl play it more than everyone else. It took me a couple of days but I finally mastered the 5 star on the "Thriller" dance! Bubba says I cheat.. how can you cheat at dancing??? He's just a hater, he hates when I'm better at something, which doesn't happen often when it comes to video games LOL,
But this has been my newest addiction, it's fun, it's challenging, I just love it and recommend it to anyone who likes Wii, dancing, and Michael Jackson (although I'm not a huge fan, but do love the dances).
I have (and do) the Wii Zumba but it's harder, faster, and I have a hard time keeping up, I still do it, for workout sake, but the Michael Jackson one is so much more fun!

Hello, my name is NYer_Now and I am a Facebook addict. I didn't like the site at first, at the time I was introduced to Facebook, I was a MySpace addict. Eventually friends got me to come more and more to Facebook and I got hooked.
I really enjoyed finding old schoolmates, reconnecting with people from "back home" and found it was easier to share with family and friends. But then......... uh oh, I got addicted to so many of them darned 'ol apps! You know, Farm Town, Farmville, Cafe World. Yeah them things are the devil, time consuming!!
Now recently I've taken a hiatus from those, I haven't deleted them, just not been playing (oh I'm sure I'll pop back on there eventually).
My latest Facebook addiction? Pages I've become fans of, mainly slow cooker and cook books. Oh and the "Give-Aways" are awesome! I'm constantly entering to win something now. Might as well, got to be in it to win it! But I never really get my hopes up. It seems I have friends who are luckier than I at winning contests, would be nice though if someday it were me!
So I'm constantly checking out recipes and getting new ideas for dishes of my own. And when I try something new, hit or miss I'll post it in my Kitchen Collections blog.

Blogging for money??
A few people have asked this question (my DH being the first). NO! That's not my intentions. I have heard (read) that it is possible and many people do attempt this. The purpose of my blogs are explained on my home page but I could talk more about it.
Yes it would be wonderful to receive compensation for Blogging, for something I enjoy, but I wouldn't know the first thing about doing that. The main purpose of this is to share with family and friends, and anyone else who may find something that is somewhat entertaining to them on here. Sharing my thoughts, my feelings, my adventures, basically my story, past present and future.
No, these things aren't that appealing to enough people in the world to even consider this being a way to earn an income. What I do hope to accomplish is maybe someone will end up with a smile on their face after reading some post, or walk away with a new dinner recipe that I've posted, or found out some information they've been wanting to know that I've shared.
But also I hope to walk away with knowledge now and then myself. People can leave me and my readers comments sharing tips, tricks, stories, what ever it may be. I'd love to hear (read) what others are willing to share with me, brighten my day if you've seen on a post somewhere indicating I'm having a bad one (that will be happening often, lol!). This is just another addiction, for the time being, until something else comes along and "tickles my fancy".
So to answer the question again, no I won't be making money from my blogs, I will however, eventually, be making something much more valuable.

Blogspot
Yes, my latest addiction, it Blogspot. There's still more to learn, change, tweak, and what not. With the net and all thats in it evolving daily (not always for the better) I'll never be completely "done" with this. But that's ok. And soon my "addiction" will dwindle to a mere "management".
It's fun though, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. My DH (dear husband) asked me "will you make money from this?". My response... uhhhh no! "Will you provide people a useful service from this?". Again....... ummm no! "Then whats the use of it?". Well, it's my outlet, a way to share so many things with my friends and family. Yeah I know theres facebook (thats a totally different addiction topic btw), and other means, but this is mine. Yeah ok so I didn't completely "design" this whole thing, with the use of templates and pre-recorded codes I got most of this done very easily. It's still mine, I put all that stuff to use in a sense to get the outcome I wanted... blah blah blah (he shakes his head laughing at me as he walks away). Go figure, he IS the one that asked LOL!
I see his point though. I've been working on this a couple of days now, and I probably should take a break (from the tweaking part at least, not the blogging). I find that when I start something new, I bury myself in it if I'm enjoying it. And when I see a sense of accomplishment it pushes me to go further.. and further.. oh wait that's the definition of addiction right?
To sum it up... Blogspot ROCKS!! at least at the present time.

The internet
Wow, thinking of this brings in so many "sub-categories", speaking of which I now need to learn how to do those to make navigation..... uh... sorry I'm floating off topic. LOL.
So as you can probably tell at the moment my addiction is... Blogging... more specific blogspot. Why am I telling you this? Because if you ever go read up on my "rants" I'm about to post one in there right now!!! LOL! ( yep you can click here to read my rant)
But uh yeah, just seeing the name of this blog makes me think, how easily I become focused on one thing, then I don't want to stop (it is now 2 am and I'm still on blogspot). It's addicting, well, to me anyway.
Just wait 'til I start posting about some of my other addictions, I guaratee you'll be reading this blog and just shaking your head so hard (probably laughing too) you'll think your head is gonna fall off.
