Hello!

I’m Elyse (Elise with a y).

I’m a mom. I work in IT. I’m a huge nerd! I love Harry Potter, LOTR, cars, books, the list goes on. I’ve been journaling privately for a while and now I want to try blogging out. I love trying new things and sharing them with friends and family if they work out for me. I would love to do the same here and connect with more people and could use some of your recommendations as well.

Let's dive into a mix of what's currently sparking joy, random thoughts, and just about anything that comes to mind. Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the delightful randomness of my mind!

1. Top Comfort Foods:

   • Soup

   • Sonic’s buffalo chicken dippers

   • Dr. Pepper

   • Fries, bonus if they have gravy or cheese

2. Random Things I Ponder About:

   • How funny it would be in traffic if cars were invisible. Like a bunch of people just sitting around on a road…its funny

   • Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

   • Why do mosquitoes only bite me in annoying places? Like my elbow, on the finger or the big toe.

3. Current Obsessions:

   • Binge-watching Dubai Bling, I love Safa

   • Trying out new coffee places

   • Seeing something and thinking “I can make that” and then spending way too much time making the thing

4. Things I Never Tire of Talking About:

   • Orange Theory

   • How we are what we eat

   • Lighthearted conspiracy theories

I hope something here will help you or make you smile. Let's embrace the randomness together.
