When Cale and I were dating, I thought that video games would be the end of it all. I would be on my death bed and Cale would tell me to wait just a minute while he finished a level. Thank goodness things are not so bad anymore. He traded in his desktop computer for an Xbox 360. There’s something about console gaming that is less antisocial than sitting in front of a computer at all hours of the night (and how many husbands did I just offend… sorry!) And granted running over people in Grand Theft Auto may not be the most moral activity to partake in, I do enjoy watching and picking out the next victims.. And there may have been an evening where I joined my husband in some Halo.. (Though I was not alone and for the record, she was a lot better than me! more practiced maybe?) And there may have been another evening where my lovely cousin Jessica and I chit chatted over the headsets while our husbands shot at each other.

There are even video games that I enjoy.. Scene It for the 360, now that is one happenin’ night in the Corwin residence. Cale did make an attempt to get a game for me when he bought me Katamari. Though that only resulted in death grips on the controller and a frustrated Stephanie. Then there was Mario Kart. And Wii Sports. Okay so I do enjoy a video game or two.

But anyways the point of this blog is to point out that I did allot Cale an area of the blog to make blog husband gamer friends. See to the right and down a little bit. So husbands with 360, go be friends have fun. And if you are playing Halo with Cale and his character is shooting at the ground, that is me. Sorry. Did I mention that I wasn’t very good?

And wives, what about you? Has there finally been a balance struck between game time and husband time? I know I cannot be the only person who had the slightest urge to hide the computer mouse. And if you have read this blog and are saying to yourself, “Gee my husband doesn’t play any games besides Scrabble with me.” Liar. Err I mean good for you.
