Late night games

mark and i have found a new hobby to do together. it is something not too many wifes may do with their husbands or even have interest in but i have found myself addicted to it. its something we can do together when the children are in bed. ( no its not sex though yes i am addicted to that too!) i find that it is not only fun but frustrating at the same time and yes sometimes you might even hear a little profanity slip out. what is it? XBOX 360! we have purchansed the subscribtion to play live with other players and currently we play with some of our good friends. right now we love playing Ghost Recon- Advanced Warfighter. mark tells me as soon as i become real good that he will get me a PINK controller. I never thought i would really like playing video games -( mostly because of how all those buttons looked so confusing and it was overwhelming to me) but i find that it is actually really fun ( especially when i get the chance to kill mark- only because he is soo good!) i love being able to sit next to my husband and play late into the night and even laugh at myself when I accidentally shoot someone on my team. recently we all had a good laugh- it was maybe my 2nd time playing and hense the conversation:

me: it's really hard to control moving my guy around and shooting someone at the same time.

mark: just keeping pushing the left joystick up and move the right joystick at the same time to look where you are going and focus on who is around you.

me: hey this guy is running around me and not shooting me - hey i can't move that fast- what is he doing? great i'm dead!

mark: (laughing)

me: what? i am still learning how to make my guy walk straight

mark: that was brett, he came around the corner and saw this guy wandering around looking at the sky and knew it had to be you and decided to have a little fun!

me: nice brett, nice!
