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."

Jacob: "I need to operate on my frog, but first he needs some amnesia."
The boys’ birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks, so we took them to Toys R Us to make a list of things for the grandparents. They found some pogo sticks and decided to try them out in the store, but they weren’t able to coordinate hopping up on them without help. Being the genius that I am, I decided I would show them how it was done. Half a hop is all it took to send me flying backwards into the shelves of skateboards. Luckily, nothing came crashing down on my head. All the bruises are in places that won’t show until swim suit season.
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.
