puzzles

...are great. and recently i have just began to scratch the surface of the wide and wonderful puzzle world. in my endeavors i have found, that more people than you may think are puzzle lovers. unfortunately, puzzles have some what of a bad wrap. i think people have some weird preconceived notion that puzzles are...boring. WRONG folks. but understandable. to be quite honest, when my roommate and i finished our first puzzle and framed and hung it on our kitchen wall, i was worried that i was turning into one of those women that lives alone with her thirteen cats (well, im allergic to cats, so maybe, hamsters or something) and yes, hangs her puzzles on her walls in pride. but i felt that i had to tell someone about my new hobby, embarrassing or not. what i found, was there are far more puzzle doers than i ever imagined. in fact, a friend of mine (so she's still embarrassed) and her husband did puzzles all last summer and never told anyone. thats just not right. do your puzzles with pride, and hang them if you so wish! really, its just another form of art, right? anyways. so puzzles are great. and you can start as simply as you wish. there are kids puzzles, 100 piece puzzle, 300, 700, and so on all the way up to...i think 2500 is the highest ive seen. its one of those hobbies that can never get too easy. not to mention its a great social activity! and what is better than socializing and doing a puzzle, while eating? OR combining the two and doing a food puzzle! so seriously, give puzzles a shot. i think theyre a bit overlooked, and they just deserve to be put together!
