My New 'Heroin'

For New Years, my sister & brother-in-law came down to spend it with me and my best friend. We get Chinese food, play games, drink pina coladas, eat snacks....just have fun. For Christmas, Kim & Bill bought me a game cube. Needless to say, we all were playing on the gamecube. They brought down the video game that I bought them for Christmas, which is Mario Kart Double Dash (or something like that) I had no idea just how addictive that game is! Yesterday, I begged my sister to take me out to buy that video game. Beware, Mario Kart is like heroin.....VERY ADDICTIVE!! I think it should come with a warning label on it. Something like...'warning, this game is so addictive you will consider calling in sick so that you can stay home and play this game all day!' I did make it to work today though. Although, I really want to be home playing Mario. Like I said Mario = Heroin. Kim & I went to Walmart...no Mario (but we did get some Christmas items on sale) Then to Zellers...no Mario. Since Zellers was at the mall we went to see the EB Games there...EB Games is no longer in the mall aparently. I was ready to cry and scream and throw a temper tantrum. I wanted to scream...I NEED MARIO! So we got sidetracked at the Carleton Cards. We bought some Christmas Decorations. (this past year they had a Chipmunks dec where they sing a Christmas song...I bought one of those) Then we decided to go to the new EB Games, with the thought that if that didn't work we would go to 'Best Buy'. When we walked into EB Games I made a beeline for the back wall where I knew the gamecube games were. I found one!!!!! I felt like doing a happy dance while I hugged the game to me. I clutched that game like my life depended on it...no one was going to grab that puppy out of my hand!! I found it...my treasure...my heroin.

Keri & I always have a blast when Kim & Bill visit. I'm very glad that I can also call my sister & brother-in-law not only family, but my friends. (that's all the mush for today) I just wish we could get together more often. So yeah...my New Years was fun!
