Generation 2: Aerissa and Caleb

Aerissa had a lot to ponder after chatting with her father's ghost.  Later that week, she spent some time painting.  She didn't have anything in particular in mind as she picked up her brushes.

When she finished the painting, she stared at it; wondering what her mind was trying to tell her.  She took the scene to mean it was time for her to set sail again for new adventure.  So, the next day she went downtown to hang out and try to meet some new people.  Strike that.  To try and meet a new guy.

Aerissa was nervous.  Brenden had broken her heart and she hadn't dated since high school.  She felt awkward, but bravely went up to the first guy she saw and started chatting him up.  He seemed friendly enough, but he wasn't her type visually.

Nex, she approached a man reading on a park bench.  The book signaled intelligence and a love of literature to her.  And, well, she loved books.  Unfortunately, he kept daydreaming about his maid.

Aerissa started to get discouraged.  She was hoping to hit it off with someone enough to grab dinner with them, and she was starving.  The next guy she talked to seemed to be an improvement over all the rest, but their few moments together was like an emotional rollercoaster.  One minute he liked what she was saying, the next he was completely repulsed.  Aerissa decided he was too high maintenance for her needs.

As she was leaving, she curiously observed some teenagers hanging out.  She assumed they were new to the area, and wondered if her girls knew them.  She felt bad, but was kind of glad her son, Trenton, was very introverted.  She wasn't sure if she'd want him getting involved with the girl.

Welcome

We are a family of gamers. Mom (Darcy/Syrana) and Dad (Brian/Sideshow) have been gaming for as long as they can remember back when you only had a joystick to use and saved your games to cassette tapes.

They've been gaming together since they met in 2002. Sometime after 2006, they both started playing World of Warcraft and did that for many years. They started this blog, originally called Sideshow & Syrana which has now transitioned to the new Stay-At-Home Gamers site, while keeping all of the original content.

Starting in 2010, two more gamers came along (now known as Princess Boo and Mr. X) and they are now old enough where they both enjoy playing games and watching others play games. They are both excited to have others to watch them play their favorite games. Come along with us and let's enjoy these games together!
