Confession

Hello... My name is Renee and I'm an adict

I'm adicted to....

WEBKINS WORLD!

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, Webkinz are stuffed animals that come with a code that allows you entrance into the Webkinz World...an online community of virtual stuffed animals. These are so popular that folks are stealing the codes off the animals in the stores (one store had used those security sensors to staple the code to the animal's paw!) And I saw online where you can buy the animals with no code really cheap...but who wants that? I sure don't. I don't even want the stuffed animal...just gimme the code!

LOL!

So my addiction began when Heather gave Darly one innocent looking Webkinz that resembled the infamous Princess in appreciation for us caring for the beast.

We entered the Webkinz World and began exploring. Your Webkinz comes with a room and one special item. We quickly learned that in order to take proper care of this puppy we needed to earn KinzCash (you get a little starter KinzCash to begin with). You earn KinzCash by playing arcade games, playing in tournaments and by checking the daily activties. This was getting very cool. I just liked the games. See there's this game called Goober's Lab and it is exactly like Bejeweled! And there is a tile game like Mahjong and there are a lot of other really cool games. The higher your score the more KinzCash.

Well as of yesterday I had played enough to earn this pampered pooch a gameroom, a yard & a kitchen with all the accessories including a pool for the yard! We were stylin! (oh yeah, she has lots of clothes too!) And today I did something truely unthinkable...

I bought Darly two more Webkinz! She picked out the Yellow & White cat and the Grey & White cat. She had originally wanted the Black & White cat but once she saw it compaired to the Grey & white she didn't like it as much. Some of the Kinz don't look as cute in person as they do online.

When we first got the cats we assumed that the new animals would have their own "houses" where we would have to go buy the rest of the rooms. But we were shocked to learn that their rooms connected to our puppy's room. And we learned the hard way. It was funny!

First Darly put in the yellow cat and when we tried to walk it out of it's room through the door to see what was out there...it couldn't get through! What was going on??? We look at the map and see that the room is connected to the puppy's room! So we go to the puppy's room and find that the cat can't get in there because the puppy's bed is in the way! Oops! So Darly moved the puppy's bed to another wall. Then she entered the Grey cat and we learn that it's door connects to the puppy's room again...and you guessed it, right where the bed was moved to!

So Darly spent this afternoon moving the puppy's furniture to make room for the cats. They all get along very well and share everything very nicely. I'm not sure why but Darly bought the cats their own kitchen, maybe it was because the one cat came with a refrigerator. I wonder if she can sell it? The puppy already had a refrigerator and it's cuter.

Now I have 3 kinz to earn KinzCash for. And it's fun.

Oh I should mention that Webkinz World closes at 10pm for us so there's no chance of Darly staying up too late to play it...or me either for that matter. LOL!

I should also mention that it's pretty obivious that there are lots of adults out there playing the games because I can't beat them.

but before you get all worried about the kids safety...it's totally safe. While the kids can "chat" with each other they can only use pre-written phrases (never typing for themselves!) So they can't give another player their name or any personal info...it just won't let you.

So if you don't see me blogging, I'm probably in Webkinz World.
