We made potatoes and BBQ salmon for dinner and merengue kisses for dessert. Oh, and we found some great books at the library. Altered Dear Daughter's dress for a school activity tomorrow. :)

Your DD is still in school? We've been out for 2 weeks now though my oldest is in summer school. She surprised my by actually liking it and talking all about it when she gets home.

2 more days! We had a lot of snow days we have to make up for this year.

Was thinking of buying this for myself. Is it as good as the reviews say?

Ahh snow days, we didn't even come close to having one last winter, kind of sad, there is nothing like a snow day, they're the best days off! But all through last winter we could say whoo-hoo to every gas bill and we were out of school by May 30th. I'm sure your kids will be ecstatic when summer vacation finally arrives, there is a shiney lightness that takes over here on the first day of SV.

I haven't read any of the reviews and purchased it because I was a fan of Diablo II. My sons also bought it. From their perspective, it's an awesome game and they will play it for hours. Me, I don't get so caught up in games and only play for 30 minutes to an hour every other day or so.

I do enjoy the game. I am not really a video game fan - most games capture my attention for less than a day - with the exception of 80's/90's arcade games. So, the fact that I've had the game for a few weeks, and am still playing it, says a lot about the quality of the game.

So, if you are sick of first-person-shooters (I can't play them for more than a few minutes without getting either bored or motion sick), Diable III is a good game to get.
