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 think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

A Beautiful Environment

June 27, 2004

I’ve spent the last few days beautifying my surroundings. And I’ve spent the last few nights in glorious exhaustion. First, I did a complete cleaning of my first floor. I know what you’re saying… big deal, she cleaned. But I didn’t just clean, I CLEANED. I also cleaned out my truck. With two six year old boys, you can imagine how messy the back seat of any vehicle can get. Now, it’s spotless.

Then there was the yard. I ordered ten yards of topsoil as a start to filling in the lawn. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but the ground around my house is all clay. There are also many areas where the ground dips. The dips and the poor draining soil create flooding areas whenever it rains. It would be a haven for ducks, if my property attracted any wildlife. We’ve been working on filling in the low areas all week. Yesterday, I decided I wanted to work on that front bed. I get distracted so easily. With five yards of topsoil still piled on my lawn, we halted lawn work and made a trip to the nursery. And I am so glad we did! We bought some excellent trees and shrubs, including the most gorgeous “Autumn Blaze” pear tree with year round autumn foliage.

Today, it’s back to the nursery to pick up the plum tree they couldn’t dig up yesterday. We’ll probably pick up a few more shrubs for the second bed, which we only decided to finish as of last night. Originally, we planned on working only on the big bed, but it turned out so darn well, that we couldn’t help ourselves.

My thoughts are all a jumble as I scramble to write this entry. Eloquent, it is not. But I felt the need to record my progress here for future reference.

    Oh my, home improvement. If I didn’t write about it in my blog, I’d hardly write anything! I’m glad that your yard project is going well. I can’t remember starting something and finishing it so quickly and fabulously that I had to run out and find more things to do. Don’t get me started on my floor project this weekend….it’s not over yet, dammit.

about this blog

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.
