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!

"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."

Rob loves watching the Food Network. One of his favorites is Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute Meals. I don’t mind watching the show when it’s on, but there’s something about Rachael Ray that really bugs me. I can’t resist the urge to do my impression of her everytime I see her. She always talks with her hands. She’s sorta quirky and tries to be funny. She’s clumsy.
Last week, I figured out exactly why she bugs me so much. She’s just like me. At least, she’s exactly how I would be if I enjoyed cooking and had my own show. I didn’t realize I annoyed myself.
Rob’s reaction when I told him about my revelation? “Hey yeah, you’re right. Maybe that’s why I like her so much.”
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.
