AuburnChick Buys a New Purse

Day 2 of Spring Break, and can you say HAPPY?!!!!!

Yeah, that’s probably the best word to describe me right now.

I’m sleeping in, I’m shopping…does life get much better than this?  (Please don’t answer that and ruin my fantasy.)

So today, I went out and spent the rest of my birthday money.  I picked up something a woman just can’t do without…

A new purse!

This purse is way fabo than my other purses.  You see, it is made to hold some special items in its compartments…

Ok…who am I trying to kid.  This isn’t a “real” purse, per se.  It’s specially made for my Nintendo DSi.

You might recall that on Saturday, I purchased three new games…

I immediately opened all three, but I have only begun playing two of them…Super Mario and Mystery Case Files.  The jury’s still out on the Mario game as it’s not quite what I expected…not the original like I’m used to from the regular Nintendo system.

Now, the Mystery Case Files game…

Oh

My

Gosh.

First off, I had an inkling I would like it because back when I was scoping out the system at Best Buy, this game was always in the demo the store had for customers to play with.

Let me tell you…playing the game at home any time I want is WAY better than getting five minute snippets of it here and there.

Folks…I must admit.  I’m addicted.

Yep.  It didn’t take long.

Chicky has taken to calling me a Nerd.

Like I’ve ever heard that before!

Where else, except in Game Land, can I practice the sleuthing skills I’ve acquired as a mom?  With my keen sense of lie-detecting, I am the perfect candidate for mystery solving!  And oh the drama on each supposed “villain’s” face.  It’s almost like watching the newest installment of “It’s Not Fair” at home…

And let’s not forget my ability to find missing objects like car keys, reports, and socks…

Oh yeah.  I’m hooked.

Wanna know how I know?

Cause I’ve stayed up until 1:30 and 2:00am two nights in a row in my quest to finish each chapter in the saga.

Folks, I’ve official become a gamer.

Have purse.  Will travel.

  1. Blogging…DS…when do you have the time?! I LOVE your “purse”, and, no, it doesn’t get any better than sleeping in and shopping during spring break!

  2. The game:

    Quick overview of the game:

    This is probably more like what you were thinking of when you bought the Super Mario brothers.

    It’s much like the old Nintendo 64 version with the different worlds and levels. Lot of fun – highly recommend.

  3. you are just making me want a Nintendo DSi even more now!!! UGH!!!!!
