Today is a momentous day. I’ve deleted Candy Crush and its demented sister, Soda Crush, from my electronic devices. Gone, as well, is Bejeweled Blitz. Snap! Just like that.
Now that I’ve discovered the joy of cooking for Studly Doright I want to spend my hours in pursuit of the perfect Studly-pleasing recipes. That and I need to get up and move more. My chair and I are starting to look like conjoined twins connected at the ass.
I must admit when I hit the little “x” on the quivering Candy Crush app icon my heart squeaked in protest. After all I was on Level 657. Let that sink in. If every level took just one minute to solve, and if I’d solved each of those levels on the first try that would have been 657 minutes of my life spent playing Candy Crush. But I spent WEEKS on many levels. I could have earned a Masters Degree in the time I spent playing Candy Crush alone.
And that was just one game. Soda Crush required roughly the same time commitment, and Bejeweled Blitz, well, it was addictive on a whole different level. Some nights I’d lie awake trying to picture ways to boost my scores. Fruitless, pointless, insomnia-inducing thoughts.
I’m sure there will be some withdrawal issues. My fingers might have to learn to relax, and my eyes to refocus. There was one game I didn’t delete, though. I’ve kept Words With Friends. It seems to serve some educational purpose. How else would I know that qi and qat were words?
Peace, People!

Awesome! I was planning on doing the exact same thing today! Though I’ll probably miss it when I’m waiting in line somewhere.

Have not deleted CC yet. Haven’t played since September. Kept it to feed friends ticket fixes. Will NOT delete WWF! Too much mental exercise! Must keep the brain fit!

i suck at wwf. i don’t much care for cc. I do, however, love the casino games. I even earned a half price cruise ticket for the dude and I on one of them. I can”t feel too badly about that. My bedtime games are yahtzee and boggle. i have secret rules to myself about what my scores must be before i can quit. sometimes it’s 5 or 6 games, sometimes only one. I don’t really feel addicted to any of them, i’m fine when i don’t play them, but i do like them. I also have a mahjong game that i play once a day.
