Tea and Wii

I'm finding an odd clash between my two most comforting pursuits of late. In the past, my tea has been my drug of choice. It replaced my smoking, it required repeated trips to the Asian grocery store and brave adventures for my tastebuds. Who knew artichoke tea would taste like chocolate? Since when are mushrooms "intense" in flavor? I used to choose a tea, make a pot, and snuggle into my fuzzy, crushed velvet, orange chair in front of the computer and blog about whatever was on my mind or wander off into the escape of one of my gleefully childish computer games.

It's all over now.

Since I got addicted to the Wii, my addiction to the tea is not compatible. Has anyone been able to Wii and drink anything? Ever? My tea gets cold, or my Wii game runs amok in the short second it takes to pause and take a sip.

And what's with the Wii 'My Sims' game? I've just spent an hour letting my tea get cold while I redecorate my sims' house, cook spaghetti for him, and clean his house. Meanwhile, my house is filthy, I still haven't made lunch, and I need more tea. Is this game a practical joke?

Ready? SET GO!

This is adorable! Ready... 'SET GO!'

Watch her try to make the same noises as her daddy at the end. LOL!
