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

Solve for X
Christmas sneaks up on me faster every year. It’s three days ’til the big X and I’m behind on almost everything. I don’t feel stress or pressure, but I am acutely aware of the timeline right now. The shopping is done. Mostly. I still need to pick up a couple of small things for the boys, and a b-day gift for my dad.
I haven’t started wrapping yet, let alone assessed my arsenal of good paper. I have no idea which package is being wrapped with which paper. And I don’t like not knowing. I need to know. (Seriously people, these are the kinds of trivial things I think about.)
Our annual ornaments are barely out of the prototype phase. I looks like my out-of-state family is out-of-luck when it comes to getting them before X-Day. It’s not looking good for my in-state family right now either.
I haven’t made any cookies yet. Not that I usually do, but I plan on it this year. Really. Rob usually makes cookies and baklava, and he hasn’t started yet either.
But hey, I sent holiday cards this year! That’s a first. And they weren’t just cards, they were newsletters. Pats on the back for me.
Every year I have the best intentions for all these things I want to do, and every year something gets dropped off the must-do list. Previously, it was the cards. This year, it looks like it might be the ornaments. Or the cookies. Or both.
Or maybe just the ornaments…

December 23rd, 2006 at 8:25 amAt least you have intentions towards ornaments and cookies. I am craft impaired so homemade ornaments are just not going to happen. And with my tendency to eat too much coupled with my mother in law and brothers tendency to bake lots of Christmas cookies means there just does not need to be any more baking going on. Other than our traditional Christmas dinner - lasagna!
I did get cards out. I am now averaging remembering to do that every other year.
As for shopping, I am a firm believer that Amazon.com is a very good thing!

about this blog
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.
