My latest addiction

In addition to my constant knitting, canning and baking, I've become an iTouch Scrabble addict. I play for hours, so many hours that my Official Scrabble Word-finder book has fallen apart.

I've always liked Scrabble, since I'm a word nut. After Joe and I broke up, we rekindled our friendship over a Scrabble game. He bought me the book, taught me strategies and challenged my vocabulary knowledge. My Scrabble board gathered dust in the closet after Joe died, since Scott wouldn't play with me (not a great speller) and Liana was too young to play against me. When we did play, I'd obliterate them. Will will occasionally play with me, but gets frustrated because I usually beat him by at least 100 points. I haven't played a good game unless I score over 200; 300 is my usual score and I've occasionally gone over 400.

On the iTouch, I get to play a computer and challenge myself. I mostly play on the "normal" setting, but have also ventured into the "hard" setting. I'm considering joining a tournament one day...so I can use my addiction as an excuse to practice ;)

At least the computer game gives me hints when I'm having a particularly bad fibro-fog day. LOL
