Before I had children I had a chronic issue when it came to video games. You could almost call it a disease, one that couldn’t be cured even with the help of some serious business antibiotics. Once I started a game, no matter what game it was, I felt like I absolutely had to finish… Read More »
Countdown mode has officially been initiated. I’m betting your first question (well, the one after Where’s the Beef?!) is “Elaine, what are you counting down to?” I’m counting down to when we go to North Carolina’s beautiful Outer Banks for a family vacation. The steps involve renting a house with a bunch of family members,… Read More »
I’m not going to lie to you fine people, I’ve been sitting in front of a blank window for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what to write about for this installment. I happen to be at one of those periods in my life where I simultaneously have nothing to talk about and… Read More »
My son has just turned three and as such he is at an age where he is an endless stream of words, most of which don’t make any sense to my adult ear holes. Most of the sounds that come out of his mouth include quoting his favorite lines from a variety of Pixar movies… Read More »

My husband and I have a very strange relationship. Actually, using the words “strange relationship” is an understatement for how we interact with each other. Don and I have been married for just over five years now and we’ve been together for over 12. That’s right 12 years, which is over a decade. We’ve bought… Read More »
It is not often that I talk about my job in any form on the Internet beyond the occasional Tweet about having a murder-inducing day. There are a number of reasons for this including the fact that explaining what exactly I do for a living is complicated and talking about work on the Internet never… Read More »
If you’ve stuck around this long you know a few important things about me: first, I play video games and second, I am a mother and a wife. Both of those things are important to this discussion so if you’re just joining me now you are officially all caught up. As of this writing my… Read More »
If you happen to follow me on the Internet or know me in person you can probably tell that I’m not exactly a typical…well, anything. I don’t bake cookies for bake sales, I’m likely to be rocking a Fangamer t-shirt instead of a cashmere sweater, and an amazing date night away from the kids involves… Read More »
