Now that the summer holidays are fast approaching, I have more time on my hands. I like to take this time and catch up on some books that are on my 'to read' list. I also decided to try something new. Call me late on this trend (what else is new?) but I decided to give
Sudoku a try. I figured it might sharpen my problem solving/critical thinking skills. Heck, it may even make me smarter. I've watched one of my brightest students tackle them and succeed, so why not right? I ordered a Sudoku book through the school and brought it home. This past Saturday I tackled the first puzzle in the "easy" section.
Four and a half hours later I realized I needed a new strategy. Instead of making me smarter I have developed some serious aggression issues I think. My cussing has increased (if that's even possible) and I've thrown a few pencils in frustration. I didn't know I was like this! However, I do know that no matter how frustrating it is, I just can't stop or give up. No matter how badly I want to tear every last page from that friggen book and burn it with a few of my old bras, I won't. It's like a drug.
On the positive side, I am getting better, the third puzzle I did only took about 45 minutes, but who knows if that's even good. I say it's a site better then 4 hours! Now, excuse me puzzle 4 is pissing me off and I need to give it a good 'what-fer'.
Bitch- your ass is mine.

Sassy, I will give you some pointers for that bitch we all know as SUDUKU! That thing almost was the end of me on lunch hours last summer!
sukudu is a cross word for accountants (to quote my gf)
i acctually bought her a computer version where she can play against or with people on line.
dont' forget to write in all your numbers!
I know a couple of people that are addicted to that game. I can't get into number games. I'm more of a word game/puzzle type of gal. Word finds, crosswords, there is a game that I HEART on-line called text twist. maybe you should try some of these instead. They don't make you want to burn anything...I swear!
Numbers??*shudder*
I like word stuff much better.....good luck Sas!
"Four and a half hours later I realized I needed a new strategy."
Hahahaha! I HATE Suduku. I hate it!
lol.. you have a new hobby eh?
Yeah! You tell that puzzle! You have to let Suduku know who is boss! Don't be afraid to punish your Suduku if need be..I have had to make mine go to "time out" on more than one occasion...
