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

All the Small Things - Updates!

August 15, 2004

So, what’s been happening? Let’s see.

Driving to my parents’ house on two separate occasions allowed me to glimpse a pair of spotted whitetail fawns standing on the roadside. It’s the kind of thing that makes you smile and really appreciate living in such a beautiful place.

The weather here turned very cool this past week. Last weekend was gorgeous, but we had one night where we built a fire in our fireplace and were very comfortable. There were even several days when I had to wear a light jacket or sweatshirt outside. Several of my trees have already started changing to their fall colors, and I’ve heard the geese moving southish already. The weather has been beautiful again this weekend.

Hurricane Charley tore through Florida this week and I’m happy to say that everyone I know there made it through safely. :)
Dragon*Con is less than three weeks away. Yay! I’ve been practicing staying up very very late so I will be ready for the late nights there. Well, actually, I’ve just been staying up very very late having fun chatting with a friend. But I don’t mind using D*Con as an excuse for that.

School starts two weeks from tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about that. I’m usually itching to get back by now, but I lack my usual enthusiasm this year. But, the boys go back to school on the same day, and though I never thought I’d hear myself say it, I’m definitely ready for that. It’s been a crazy summer.

I will be returning to work soon. I’ve decided to go back to subbing part time, which is the perfect job for me. In this area, we are allowed to choose the jobs we want, and reject those we don’t. And, we’re not penalized for not working. So if my kids get sick, or if I have too much homework, I simply choose not to work. Also, the pay is very good for such a flexible schedule.

I am neither pregnant nor depressed, despite some people (Mathias!) claiming that my days of sleeping so long were a sign of such. In truth, it was only sleep deprivation that caused me to need so much sleep those days. My last pregnancy energized me like I never thought possible. Hopefully, I’ll have the same kind of energy when we do decide to add to the litter this fall. But with my luck, I’ll be exhausted and puking, and find it even more difficult to manage the twins!

    Seeing wild animals out and about is always wonderful. At my grandparents’ house (they have a farm), I almost always see some cotton tail rabbits. Each time, I feel like a little kid, “Look! Over there! A bunny!”

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.
