Two which have always worked for me: "Darling, i am just looking at some online titillation... " If she has the audacity to question that, you will just need to qualify it with: "But my golden haired goddess.. as you well know you don't quite do it for me any-more.. but with a little help from our friend Spankwire i can still take you to heaven and back every week-night and twice a day at the weekend" (i assume you'd like to play a few speed games too on Saturday and Sunday)
Now if your good lady is a little less of the romantic then why not go a little more complex: "Angel cakes!.. you know it's always been my dream to write a novel!!" you need to do a little groundwork of course.* But you can get away with anything under such circumstance.. if she catches you playing CC whilst twittering your future Ukrainian mail-order bride .. well then you can pass it off as 'research'; the main character of your novel being a shy, internet nerd with a penchant for on-line strategy games who has trouble meeting girls.
*if you have no discernible talent as an author, tell her it's a children's book about a badger called Philip who has befriended a hedgehog from the wrong side of the track.
Honey, don't you think it is time to visit you mom again for a week or two? I think I can get the tickets for you online real cheap. Let me research that.

That would work except you and I both know it would turn into a "we" are going to visit mom for a week or two.......I'd rather wake up tomorrow as (*edited* out the name of an annoying, forum spamming kid who knows where you live to protect the innocent and not get banned) than do that.....
....remember,its all in fun.

Generally I wait until she's watching some inane television show on Bravo or The Learning Channel (like "We Have 12 Kids" or "We're Midgets and We're in Love" or "I'm an Italian American from New Jersey Who Makes Cakes").
