Are you a Su-DORK-u too?

Filed under: Uncategorized - abcmomma @ 3:00 pm

About six months ago, the kids convinced me to take them to the dollar store so they could spend some of their birthday and/or allowance money. While we were browsing around the toy section, I saw these new puzzle books that contained "the newest puzzle craze" — Sudoku. I had never heard of it before, but I didn’t want to be left out of the new craze, so I bought two books. I should have saved my dollars.

If you have any inkling of an addictive personality, I recommend that you stay far, far away from these puzzles or you will turn into a Su-DORK-u like I have. You will raid your kids’ backpacks looking for the perfect pencil with a great eraser. You will be a slacker with your other hobbies such as blogging. The numbers 1 through 9 will dance in your dreams. You will become a missionary and try to convert your siblings to Su-DORK-u-ism. You will become anti-social as a night solving puzzles will seem more appealing than going out with your husband or friends.

Sorry to make this post so short, but I……must…..go…..play……now.

My daughter brought one home from school as homework. After helping her with it, my DH is now hooked. So far, I am resisting!

Kept me busy in the airports when I went to South Africa last year. It is so much fun.

I play where Olivia and Jami do. It saves erasers.

You haven’t solved the one on the cover yet?

Yeah, I’m addicted. Yeah, I even solved the one on the cover. But I haven’t had time to play for a while.

We haven’t gotten into it yet, but I was so surprised when I was in the States in Oct that that game was EVERYWHERE!!! I’ll have to try it.

While I have yet to find a support group to help break this addiction (SA: Sudoku Anonymous?), I have finally been able to limit myself to only one or two a day. Of course, I was easily able to get my mother addicted to it before I was able to control my own addiction because no one wants to be an addict alone! So far I’ve resisted getting one of the electronic hand-held versions, though I may get one for my mother for the holidays…

My mom brought a book last time she was here and got me hooked…but I broke the obsession.

My oldest got me addicted. She started playing last Thanksgiving…when she was 5.

just like the weffriddles (and blogging, lol) I went through a sudoku addiction phase. It has passed, but I still do enjoy me a good puzzle every one in a while.
