Everyone knows I have 2 little boys at home all day. Dean will be turning ONE in a few weeks and Pierce will be 4 in July.
This leaves me with limited time on the computer each day.
And unfortunately I’ve been distracted by Facebook. Which is why I haven’t been doing my duty upkeeping this blog like I had in the past. If you’re on FB, you’ve no doubt seen games advertised there. And friends will at some point try and get you into their game. They make more money that way. It’s a smart system.
So one of my brothers got me on Street Racing. A friend got me on Farm Town. And another friend got me on YoVille. And these games are addicting!!
In Farm Town, you have a little farm you plow, plant & harvest. And the more you plant and harvest, the more money you make and you go up in levels. Gradually you unlock new crops, trees, animals, barns, ponds, etc.
YoVille is a little city that you have an apartment to decorate. You “go to work” every 6 hrs, earning money to decorate your apt, buy clothes, etc. When you make and save enough money, you can also buy a house. I bought a trailer and named it “Wicked Awesome.”
Street Racer is a car racing game. You can buy new racing cars, parts, and race people for money and points. Once again, the points unlock new items.
It all sounds rather juvenile (and it is) and when I play these games, I always wonder who the other people are. Is “Slick” really a 60-year-old single bald and fat? Or is he 20 and hot? Or 15 with braces ignoring his homework?
But we all need distractions. We all need a fantasy world. A place to get away from the stresses of life and just play.
And I dare you to play for a week and not get hooked.

Cheles last blog post..TGIF! 100+ Book Reading Challenge (Updated)
Good! Leave me a note if there’s another animal you want
I have never tried either of those. I did try the game where they gave me a dog, but I killed it (sigh). Apparently, I don’t have the attention span to take care of something on Facebook.
I haven’t seen the dog one yet. YoVille’s nice ‘cuz you can’t kill anything.
I love Facebook! I look to fill out those “notes”, and I love all the games. I was playing Mafia Wars, but everyone stole my money, and you don’t do well without money. Plus I love the friend requests!!
Try out YoVille. No stealing of money involved. Just the joy of spending it
I love facebook too. So addicting. Like you, I lack the time with a 4 year old running around. My little sis keeps bugging me to play Farm town. She’s driving me nuts!! LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet comment. I so appreciate it! Have a great weekend.
Michelles last blog post..Update On Her Eyes
If you do, let me know! I’ll add you as a “neighbor!”
i have been telling my friends who are just new to facebook to watch the addiction because there is no such thing as rehabilitation for facebook addicts. LOL i am not into those facebook games because i chose not to. otherwise, i’ll be dead in managing my online tasks.
i’m contented seeing my facebook friends achieving ssuch high scores in the games they’re playing. and did i say facebook in general is indeed addicting? 
great weekend to you!
