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

Garage Sale

August 7, 2004

I spent Thursday and Friday running my garage sale. Despite the fact that I made $200, I really hated it. Part of the reason is it’s hard to be enthusiastic about selling junk you don’t want yourself. Another reason is selling, for me, is just hard anyway. Plus there’s the fact that I am so bad at making casual chit chat with total strangers, and the fact that there are so many things I’d rather be doing than sitting in my garage during the two most beautiful days we’ve had all summer.

The sale was supposed to go through Sunday, but by midday on Friday I had had enough. There wasn’t really much left anyway. People would stop, walk halfway up the driveway, see that most everything was gone, and end up leaving before they reached the garage. Apparently, I was a waste of their time. I retaliated by closing the sale. They were a waste of my time too.

So here I find myself on another gorgeous Michigan day. It’s sunny and the temperature is in the 70’s with a nice breeze. My perfect weather. So what have I done now that I don’t have to sit in the garage? Well, mostly, I’ve slept. Huh? Seems like kind of a waste too, doesn’t it? Last night, I went to bed at 9:00 p.m. fully expected to wake up around 10 or 11 to come back to the computer and catch up on all my computer things. It didn’t happen. I woke up this morning at 9:00 a.m. I have no idea why I needed 12 hours of sleep, but apparently I did. So this morning I ran some errands and returned around 1-ish. Then I took another nap which lasted 2 hours. Again, I don’t know why I need this sleep, but I must.

A couple of BTWs for you. It seems the votes are in and people prefer strangers reading their blogs to people they know. Also, Rob went to see Collateral without me last night. How unfair.

    Garage sales are great if you’re not running one.

    I was in your neck of the woods this weekend. Nicole and I visited Nicole’s sister and fiance in Toledo, but we drove up to Ann Arbor on Saturday. I concur, the weather was beautiful… gotta love mid-70s in mid-August, but I hear the winters are a real bitch. Yeah for Michigan and Ohio!

    Could you be pregnant? That is kind of unnaturally sleepy. Maybe depressed? That will make you want to sleep. I think its pregnant tho. I know things. :)

    Like your blog…. great little find.

    (I don’t like doing garage sales either)
    And yes, it was beautiful here last weekend.

    I love Michigan Summers when it’s not too humid.

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.
