You see, I forgot to post my "Vintage Finds" on Wednesay like I usually do because one of my best friends, my dog Jake, was supposed to have oral surgery and things were all cattywampus so I forgot and pushed it to Thursday and the universe fell out of alignment and here we are on Friday where I post photos and things are a mess and I'm winded from typing that seriously long run-on sentence. This is why we should stick to a schedule. HA - that's a line Andrew Henry and the daughter have heard me utter WAY too many times in their lives. I got it from my father, so blame him.
This thing I love could be, for some, a bit of an embarrasing admission. Some, but not me. I proudly say to you, I am a 43 year old somewhat cultured and well travelled woman who loves to play her Game Boy. Laugh if you must, but this little game has been with me during my bouts of insomnia, in many doctors' waiting rooms, car trips, airplanes, while "we" are watching the Super Bowl on TV and even the boring parts of my daughter's college graduation - don't tell her, she has no idea I was playing Dr. Mario while they were doing the speech parts. Hey, did you know President Obama spoke at her college graduation last year? I bet you didn't. That wasn't the one, during which I was playing Dr. Mario. I mean, no matter your politics, when a sitting President is speaking, you should maybe listen, it's polite. I'm polite. No, it was the one that took place the next day at the Honor's College - I was kind of graduationed out and sitting way up in the balcony and it was dark, no one knew. I promise.
Anyway, take a look at the wear and tear if you question how much I have played this thing over the last eight years...
It was a gift from Andrew Henry. He knows how much I like puzzle games and I only play this one game on Game Boy. This same game over and over. I haven't played in a while. Blogland and the Etsy Shop have left me little time for frivolities. It's just sitting next to my bed right now, waiting, like a patient friend. Yep, Dr. Mario and I - we're old friends.
Aren't friends great? All the new friends you make out here in Blogland are the icing on the cake. My sweet and inspirational new friend, Denalee at Silver Strands, awarded me that "I love your blog" button that is now proudly being displayed on the right side of my blog. Thanks so much Denalee.
Coming up in a bit, we'll play our caption game...
