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 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." --Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina Teen 2007

Fourth Time’s the Charm?
On Friday, two days after I finished my THIRD round of antibiotics for strep throat, my throat started feeling scratchy again. I, being the silver-lining type of girl I am, was happy to get my symptoms on a Friday for once. The past three episodes occured on Sunday, forcing me to visit the questionable care providers at the local Urgent Care center. This time, I was able to make an appointment with my own doctor, or at least, another doctor in the same office.
Sure enough, I tested positive for strep throat during my Saturday morning appointment. This fourth time has me on a new, more expensive antibiotic. By more expensive, I mean that my copay was $40 as opposed to the normal $10. That brings our grand total for strep throat treatments this year up to $210. That’s like 84 gallons of gas, or one student loan payment, or an entire set of sparring gear for the boys’ tae kwon do, or a very nice dent in my Christmas shopping list. I have a follow-up appointment just after I finish this round of antibiotics, which will probably bring the total up a bit more.
If it doesn’t work this time, I may be waking up to strep throat again Christmas day. Thanks, Santa.

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.
