Potty Talk and Video Games

No, you are right, the title doesn't make a whole lot of sense but here's what's going down in my world.

Some of you might know my secret guilty pleasure (I'm sure I've had to have mentioned this on here but just in case I didn't) is playing The Sims. I was introduced to it on a visit to WSU when I was in my first year at WWU and was hooked from the start. The Sims has come a long way in that 9 years (oh my, I'm getting old!) and it just keeps getting better. The Sims 2 has run fairly slow on my computer but I've dealt with it because it's the only gameplay I've known and I love The Sims that much. Now EA Games is releasing The Sims 3 in just over one month from now and I wanted to be ready. Dad offered to buy me a new fandangled video card for my desktop so I can play The Sims 3 and not be so slow it hurts. Well, I got it and it works and it's AWESOME! :) I'm going to pre-order the game hopefully this weekend and then I'll have it as soon as it's released - WAHOO! And on to the wee tot...

Sarah is currently napping. Normally this is no big deal because well, she naps every day pretty much. But today she is napping in big girl real underwear. That's right, no pull-ups, no diaper...hopefully no mess! She spent the morning in them and stayed successfully dry, although it's mostly due to me asking "You want to go potty now?...How about now?...Let's try now..." But she's patient with me and we're making a bit of progress.

Joel is working today and has a meeting tonight in Silverdale for Church so I'm hoping to get my computer details adjusted for fast game play and write a few more articles. I have 97 articles written but another 8 articles that have titles with no body. So those just need to be researched and written - which for me is the easier part.

Random post, yes, but aren't they all? Hopefully I can update more frequently so that I don't smoosh all the details into one piece of blog-pie.

That is so exciting that Sarah is sleeping in big girl pants! When are you gonna try for the all nighters? We miss you guys! After seeing you so much during the holidays, I think we are going through Johnson withdrawl!
