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!

"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."

We took the boys to a rollerskating party hosted by their old school on Thursday night. I was a little surprised that I was able to rollerskate as well as I did after so many years of unpractice. I commented to Rob that my first rollerskating party was at that very same rink nearly thirty years ago, and that not much about it had changed. It was a funny coincidence that the dj started playing an old disco song just as I finished the comment. Apparently, the music hadn’t changed much in those thirty years either.
I can still hear Phil Collins Easy Lover playing in my head when I think of roller skating. I was never very good at it, but I held on to the side like nobody’s business!:)
This brings back memories. Memories of bad music and the horrible pressure peer pressure to ask someone to join me for the couples only skates.
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.
