New Addiction

Ok, so as I said below the husband is off traveling around Europe...while I sit at home going to work. So this weekend I hung out with my sil (sister-in-law). We ran some errands and just hung out. The sil has a boyfriend that owns a Wii and for his birthday he got Guitar Hero. At the time I thought well that is nice, and I am sure he will have fun with it, but probably not a game I would choose for myself.
Well the sil and I decided to just hang out around her house since it was pouring down rain and she asked if I wanted to Wii. I said sure, thinking it would be a fun way to pass the time. She put in Guitar Hero and let me just say first off it is really hard! There are color coded buttons that have to be pushed in time with the symbols on the screen...and they have them in a strange order, green then red then yellow. I had a really hard time wrapping my head around that since my head thinks red, yellow, green is the right order. But I persevered and after more time than I think it should have taken to learn, the sil says..."I think you are ready for your own band!" That was a very exciting moment for me! So now I have become addicted to making it through song after song to make my band famous! Just what I needed a new addiction...now I just have to figure out how to convince the sil's boyfriend to leave the Wii here so I can keep practicing!
But I think the best part is that I am at least for right now better at a rocker guitar game than the husband!!!
