Flip or Flop

So Hubby went away to his Navy reserve duty this weekend. If I have never mentioned before, I absolutely could not sleep or even summon up enough energy to do anything without him around. (And recently I've learned that a few girls that I work with are the same way [not sleeping] when their husbands aren't around, that makes me feel better.) Anyways, to kill time, literally, I am just playing every little stupid computer games there are out there. And alternating between a hand full, because otherwise I'm afraid my brain will explode.

So lately I'm playing this one called "Flip or Flop." The idea behind it is simple, you want to flip houses and help grandma buy back her $3 million house. Frankly, I think that's an unreasonable request from a family member, but that's not the point here. So you start out with cheap houses, $10,000 - $30,000 and by the time you get up to the "filthily rich" area, you are seeing houses in the $2 million plus range. Why am I blogging about this stupid game, you may ask (and I'm sorry that you are reading my blog, really, there are better things to do out there than reading my mindless rambling)? Because while I'm quite sure the game developer meant to set it at an outrageous (yet achievable?) prices, $2 - $3 million houses aren't uncommon around this area. Unless, of course, the developer is a bitter person living in the Silicon Valley like me, in that case, he/she is just being sarcastic. And mind you, these $2 - $3 million houses aren't even that extravagant... just your regular 2 - 3K sq ft houses everywhere else... Like I said, tragic...
