This Can't Be Good

Face·book Ob·ses·sion

noun \äb-‘se-shən, əb-\

Definition: When you start the water for your morning shower, dash to the computer to read last night’s late posts and tend your crops and livestock, then realize 15 minutes later that the shower is STILL running and there probably isn’t much hot water left!


:::sigh::: What have I gotten myself into…

Look Out Paul Bunyan

In my newly found venture called Farmville, I’ve discovered that I don’t like all the waiting. My farm has a small number of crops, two foals, and a pig (I sold the cow and bought the two new animals), a bale of hay and a rest tent (both gifts I received), and a newly purchased barn. The barn is really in the beginning stage of being built –mostly only framework –as I do not yet have the hammer and wood needed to finish the job. It’s a slow process and I get bored easily.

But I’ve discovered another Facebook offering: Frontierville!! Yep, I’ve got my own homestead. A plot of land covered with trees, brush, rocks, and critters –just waiting for me to clear it all off and start a home. This offers more to do, but at a cost. Each activity cost an energy and you only get so many at a time. It’s grueling work, but it has to be done. I’ve cleared about a fourth of it, have a small garden going, and even planted a few cherry trees. My house is just a frame but I have a few chickens and a sheep that gets lost in the brush now and then. Somebody get me an ax!
