I’m not entirely sure that I like this year yet.

Well, I don’t hate it yet either, but I don’t think I trust it yet.

………………

If you remember from last week I was saying how I was patiently waiting (for 3 weeks now), for Best Buy to get in a copy of SR3 (which I have a raincheck for)? Well I got something in the mail yesterday saying they finally got my copy in, and they’re holding it for me. (Which, btw, I’ve learned to NOT believe until I’m actually holding it in my hands!) Now the only obstacle left is the actual going and getting of the game, which I won’t be able to do until tomorrow or Saturday. Grr.

I was reading some stuff that said there are some kind of passes? Season Passes and Online Passes? I’m confused, and it sounds expensive. And also, I think one of the achievements involves registering on the THQ/SR3 website, which I’ve already done, but I’m not sure why.

In other gaming news, Husband (the traitor) has decided he wants to check out Battlefield 3. (I know, right?) The problem here is that I am both nosey and highly corruptible, and I’ll be forced to check it out as well, testing my allegiance to the COD Franchise. I can only assume that there will be things I like about it too, and then I’ve got more than one war game I like, and then what’s next? Some Gears 3, some Halo??!! Do I become this war game whore? I mean, a girl’s gotta have some morals here…….

In personal news, I quit smoking about a week ago, and it’s going really well, albeit a little strange. We’re not using any stop-smoking aids, and Husband is having some trouble staying on the wagon. His brother is here, and he’s a smoker, and it’s not bothering me, but I see how much trouble Ed is having. This has been really easy for me. When I think about being a non-smoker, I actually get giddy inside. I’m having some weird reactions though. Almost everybody complains how they eat instead, and there’s the inevitable weight gain, and in actuality, smoking does raise your metabolism. However, I’m having the exact opposite reaction – I seem to have almost completely lost my appetite, and instead of sleeping better, which people tend to say happens, I have these pretty severe sleep disorders, which now that I’ve quit smoking, have doubled. Now instead of struggling to get 3-4 hours of sleep a night, I’m only getting about 90 minutes to 2 ½ hours. And I still don’t want to smoke, but I’m starting to become concerned about my health. I’m not eating and not sleeping….. I’m hoping this is something that’ll work itself out in the next week. (Especially since I have all kinds of fun new games to play!)

Oh, and one more thing – if some of you could pop over to the help & requests forum, I need some help with something – thanks.

This week’s shout outs go to my new friend SpeedByrd, and also to PropertyofWyatt – hang in there, honey, all things seem miniscule with time.
