I have been so moody lately and he can attest to that. The househelpers (yes, we have a new one) can tell you a thing, or five, about how I’d suddenly change moods. I get bored so easily. I sometimes just stop what I’m doing, remember something awful and then burst into tears.
And what does he do about it? He made me play games.
OH. MY. GOD.
It all started with this very addicting game called Bejeweled. It’s relatively easy, but I get frustrated because I don’t get satisfactory scores. At least in my standards. Haha.
Then I tried playing Zuma, but I suck at it. Never mind even budging on to the next level.
Then he got me all 20 games from Popcap and then… I saw it. Bookworm.
just before all the pieces got burnt by the tile on fire
It’s a scrabble-like game and I just love it, love it, love it! I’ve been playing it a lot that I hardly even touched the other games.
Now that I’m busy with Bookworm, there has less crying and hissy fits. Much to the relief of the helpers.
This morning after waking up and cuddling with my son, and before getting out of bed, I played Bookworm. For 34 minutes and 51 seconds.
My score? See for yourself.
At least I got to Level 14 with 149,850 points. Woot!
What do you do when you’re bored?
Hi Xee Momma, my kids and I love to play games on POPCAP. Even hubby is addicted to Bookworm too. Now I see my only son Pio going to http://www.a123.com where he plays car racing more often. Me, when I’m bored I surf the net, watch my fave soaps over YouTube or plurk, he he he.

I actually sit and look out the window and see if I can find wild animals. I have a large open field out my back window with a stream running through it, so animals galore.

once upon a time, edelweiza also got hooked on Popcap games which she would access via YahooGames. her favorite were zuma and bejeweled, plus those tile matching games called Mahjong.
playing games is a good form of relaxation and at the same time, they get to sharpen that thing between our ears.
