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

Clouds + Sun = Beautiful
I’ve been very grouchy these past three days. There are a couple things creating a bit of stress for our family right now, and the weather since Thursday hasn’t helped to lift the mood. I’m longing for the sun. I need color and light.
I decided to search my photo archives for something to liven up my site, and came across my collection of sunsets and sunrises. The picture I chose for my current header was taken on December 17, 2004 while waiting with the boys outside for the school bus. It was a very brisk day and we had just enough snow to cover the ground. It’s quite a contrast to this winter’s weather. In October, there were a few scattered snowfalls, but by the time December rolled around, we had nothing. Nearly a full week into January, and we’ve gotten neither snow nor our annual ice storm. When it does precipitate, we get rain–cold, grey rain.
I happen to love clouds. Their color, their texture, even their precipitation. But there needs to be some balance. All clouds and no sun makes for a gloomy day. And a gloomy me. We’re supposed to get some sun tomorrow. I just need enough to clear the fog around my head. For now, the new header on the site will have to do.

January 7th, 2007 at 10:34 amI’ll never forget my 6th grade science teacher. She was a horribly miserable person who gave out grades without thinking. The reason I bring her up though is she loved to talk about clouds. I remember her giving us cotton balls to recreate the cirrus, cumulus and stratus clouds. It was a nightmare of an assignment since she was quite unrealistic about how far a cotton ball could go, but to this day, the difference between the clouds has stuck with me.:)

January 7th, 2007 at 1:04 pmWe’ve been studying clouds for the past few months. It’s one of the only things we did while we “deschooled” after Thanksgiving. I ask the boys, almost daily, to tell me about the clouds they see on any given day. Unfortunately, the last few days has not given us much of a variety.

January 7th, 2007 at 4:29 pmThe weather has been annoying me lately as well. As a Floridian, I don’t need a lot for it to feel like weather. But I do need it to drop below 80. It’s just wrong for my kids to be swimming in January. I have a lot of cute sweaters that are feeling neglected.

January 8th, 2007 at 9:02 amIt started snowing early last night. This morning, we have a nice couple inches on the ground. Maybe some of this cooler weather is heading your way.

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.
