It's Taken Over My Mind

Before we get started on MamaKat's weekly writing assignment please allow me a moment to invite the loved ones who read your blog to a chance to get back at you. Sounds promising right?

On Tuesday, January 13 my beloved, sweet, handsome, adoring, wonderful, sexy, smokin hot husband (I'm not trying to get in his good graces or anything) is going to do his very first ever guest post on my blog.

I am also going to put up a linky so if anyone else wants to participate they can link up their "special someones's" guest post and we can read them all! So tell your husband, your wife, anyone who reads your blog and reads your comments but is not them self a blogger, to have a chance at the keyboard for once. My last 3 posts talk more about it and also have ideas for posts if you need any help.

Can't wait to hear what your other halves have to say!!!

Ok, here are MamaKat's prompts for this week:

1.) Describe your latest obsession.

2.) Ask a loved one to use 6 descriptive words to describe you and report your findings. How well do they know you?

3.) Who was your first bloggy friend? How did you find each other? Do you still correspond?

4.) Tell us about your pet! If you have a weird infatuation with your dog or cat we want to hear about it (or if they just plain drive you crazy)...but please don't compare them to children. It's just not the same.

I chose number 1...Describe your latest obsession...


I told you all of my love for Lego video games here. Let us expand on that. Cause if there is one thing us mom's can relate to, it's video game addiction. Not the kids, us.

Some of you may not understand my obsession with all things Xbox or Nintendo DS. But I think if you gave it a try, you would. I'm tellin ya, it's the best mind distraction out there. Besides sex of course. If you've got a lot on your mind and you need to escape, put down that good book and warm bath and pick up an Xbox controller. It's good for you. Trust me. I'm very trustworthy.

I didn't always feel this way. I was once a non-believer too. I laughed at my husband for wanting an Xbox. I told him he was a grown man and why would he want to play kid games?

Then, we got one. I gave in to his childish whim. And that's when it happened. It all started with Scarface. Any game where I could virtually piss on a dumpster, sell my sperm for "balls" power in a back alley and pull any shmo out of his car by the collar and proceed to "jack" him for it was A OK in my book. Did I mention the more money and power you achieved the more scantily clad the cheap hookers got back at your pimped out mansion? This one's definitely NOT G-rated.

I found myself at Best Buy one day contemplating purchasing the newer, better Xbox 360. Next thing I knew we were unloading it from my minivan at home. It's like I was video game console brainwashed. I began frequenting walkthrough/cheat code websites so that I might beat the game all the more faster. I felt oh so dirty but oh so good.

Now my husband, children and I all fight over Xbox 360 playtime. Just the way a family should be. Come on. Jump on the juvenile video game band wagon. There's plenty of room. You won't regret that next fix. You can trust me. Remember? I'm trustworthy?
