Happy Mother's Day

by Susan Rozmiarek

I wasn’t expecting anything gaming related for Mother’s Day from Ed and our boys. We almost never give each other games for gifts because we usually want the same ones and that makes the motive quite suspicious. But look at today’s haul! It’s ALL gaming stuff that I and I alone wanted but yet not a single game. Do I have a creative husband or what!?

See that laminator? I’ve wanted one of those puppies for a long, long time. Being a female, you see, I have this innate desire to participate in some sort of craft activity. I was not blessed with the craftbooking gene like many of my sisters so for me, this used to mean trundling down to my local Kinko’s armed with a pile of players’ aids, screens, maps and such from games to laminate and cut out. I admit, I tend to go a little crazy with the laminating. If I was a superhero, I’d be The Laminator. Unfortunately, some customer must have accidentally laminated their hand or small child because Kinko’s decided it was best to keep their heat laminator behind the counter and charge dearly for one of their worker bees to do the work. So, I quit going and had to suffer from my repressed urges for a long time.

The cool Meeple pillow, license plate frame, t-shirt and decals are all from Meeple People. I think that they actually threw those decals in for free. Once I get those and the license plate frame on my minivan I will have a true geekmobile. Except, I doubt hardly anyone on the streets will know exactly what they mean.
