about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

My Kingdom for a Pillow

June 22, 2004

Back in April, my sister asked to borrow my suitcase for her trip to Germany. So I, being the dutiful sister that I am, dropped it off while she was at work and helped myself to a little peek around her house. In one of her bedrooms, I discovered two lovely lime green pillows that would look fabulous in my living room. I asked my husband (who I neglected to mention was with me at the time) if I should take them. He said that she would surely notice, and I said that she surely would not. He shrugged, and left the room. I took that as approval to take the pillows. And I did.

A few weeks ago, my sister was at my house. I remembered the pillows, but wondered if she would recognize them. She did. She tried to steal them back. But the amateur left her car doors unlocked, and I removed them before she noticed. She called me from her cell phone when she was halfway home and realized the pilliows were not in her car.

Yesterday, I received this in the mail, along with a Polaroid of my suitcase.

I hadn’t intended on returning the pillows easily, but her creative approach has swayed me. You’ll get your pillows back, sis.

    Very funny. I think you should ask for a removable piece of your suitcase (like a shoulder strap or something) as “proof of life” before you make the exchange. If there are no removable pieces, ask for a picture of the suitcase with today’s newspaper.

    I love the story about the pillows. I did something similiar once with a prized pen at work. It was fun hiding it and writing random ransom notes around the office. Much more fun in fact, than the real reason we were all there.

    I’m afraid I missed out on these types of moments with the fam’, however, since I am a one and only.:(

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
