mentally obsessed

i am a little concerned. i was introduced to sudoku christmas morning, and i am hooked. hello. my name is aly slade, and i am a sudokuholic. i am embarassed to say that i probably spent an easy three to four hours throughout today working on my new book. the puzzles range from easy, medium, hard, to very hard. sudoku is a game of logic, and i am realizing that i think that i have some. i am praying that all the brain power that i have put into these puzzles is exercising my brain in a way that is causing my brain to actually grow. in seriousness, it has really given me some insight on addictive behavior/obessive compulsiveness. i would put it down today for awhile after getting frustrated with a "hard" puzzle, and no more than five minutes would pass, and i would give the book a glance, and reach for it to give it another go. the only things that have kept me from doing the puzzles were headaches, seeing static-ee spots, or frustration. other than that, with david being in d.c. and me being by myself, i have made a new friend. so about half way through today, the thought entered my mind, wow, aly, why can't you be like this with your bible? wouldn't that be amazing if i craved God's word and be addicted to it like i have quickly become to this silly game of sudoku? i wish that i constantly picked up my bible and spent an easy one to two hours (3-4) a day reading and actually was able to concentrate on it. then again it is the holidays and i am not working this week, so i have "time" and no husband to occupy my every needy moment. hey, maybe i am addicted to my husband. since he's gone, i have re-focused my addictive behavior onto something else...sudoku. well, dook, why couldn't i have pick the bible instead??? after typing all this...makes me want to go read it. i am going to read my bible.
