Wrapping Challenge(d)

December 18, 2014 by Elaine

You know what is important when wrapping gifts? Tape. And Scissors. Somehow during my marathon wrapping sessions I typically misplace one or both about 30 times or so.  Of course they are always in the same place – underneath the large sheet of wrapping paper that I just unrolled from the roll.  You know you’ve been there…

You Be the Judge (a mini vlog included)

June 17, 2013 by Elaine

Have you even been told you look like someone?  Maybe someone’s sister or aunt or even a celebrity? Well last week I had two people from COMPLETELY different parts of my life tell me I look like a woman in a cereal commercial.  So of course I had to check this out because apparently this…

Things were going along fine…

June 26, 2012 by Elaine

I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good.  And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute.  Even when she…

How We Met – VlogTalk

June 7, 2011 by Elaine

This time I’m vlogging after an emotional day (wallet was lost or stolen yesterday on the cusp of my monthly hormonal imbalance… *ahem*) so forgive the lack of make-up and contact lenses.  If you didn’t know, I’m practically blind but normally wear contact lenses.  I didn’t have the energy to put them in today. It’s…

Another Vlog??

May 24, 2011 by Elaine

Last week I vlogged about NOT vlogging.  And this week I’m vlogging again.  So, either I’m a hypocrite or I have a very short term memory.  You decide. (are any of you actually reading this anyway or are you just skipping to the VLOG???) (also, is it pronounced VEE LOG or VUHLOG? Someone needs to…

A Vlog about not vlogging

May 17, 2011 by Elaine

So, I vlogged. A sweet lady that I already “knew” plus a couple more I “met” today on twitter are hosting a great new meme called “VlogTalk” and I thought I’d join in.  Peer pressure really is an amazing thing.  Even at age 36. One of the topics, inspired by the fabulous Liz from a…
