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."

Beluga Ball

March 26, 2006

The school fundraiser was last night. We planned on going, but the tickets were sold out before we got ours. Being somewhere near number forty on a waiting list, it didn’t look like we were going. But somehow, the day before the event, a pair of tickets became available for us and we took them!

The main events were two auctions. The silent auction consisted of hundreds of donated prizes lined up on tables. It included everything from tickets to Disney World to free hair cuts, and everything in between. Each classroom collected items from the parents to include in a basket. The dolphin pin I made was to be included in the jewelry basket for Jacob’s classroom.

The live auction was for the projects each class made, as well as some other special items. Jacob’s class painted and decorated a book shelf, and Brendan’s class collaged a giant mural. The other classes had similar projects. Some of the other items included in the live auction were a two day pheasant hunting trip, tickets for a Thanksgiving day Lions game, a week long vacation in a house overlooking Lake Michigan in Traverse City during the Fourth of July holiday, premium parking spots at the school, a plasma screen tv, and… my dolphin pin.

You cannot imagine my surprise to see my dolphin pin listed with twenty-three other items on the live auction pages. We haven’t figured out exactly why it was given such prestige, but I couldn’t have been happier. My pin sold for $150, which I think it pretty good. It’s a bit on the low side maybe, but this seemed to be a difficult year for people, judging by the bids. Neither the silent auction items nor the live auction items brought in as much money as last year. (The bookshelf alone went for $2000 last year. This year, the classroom projects topped out at $400, and even the Traverse City vacation only made $1400.) But overall, I think it was a successful night for the school and for me.

    That’s awesome. Congrats. You have to be proud and not stalk the person that bought it. JK.
    You should be proud.

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.
