Welcome to you, Warrior Lady.
I am addicted too. I have only played VV1. But I wake up early to play a while before going to work. I was late once because I was dithering over my game. The first thing I do when I get home and last thing before going to bed is check my games ( I am running three villages at once I like it so much). Even while watching some of my favorite TV programs I run to the computer during commercials to make sure that little pony-tailed teenager is gathering crops for her village instead of wandering off.
I bought VV2 yesterday so things are about to get a little crazier at my house.
So, yes, other people are nuts about this game too.
