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."

Unexpected Surprises

February 26, 2007

My boys have always been very social people. Whenever they’re around other kids, they’re quick to recruit at least one new kid in their pack, And though these friendships don’t last beyond that particular experience, it makes me proud that they like to include other children. I take no credit for this.

Today, their friendliness paid off in an unexpected way. I took the boys to one of those gigantic indoor play structures that puts McDonald-land to shame. They have a nice menu and pretty good food too, so it’s not difficult to spend four or more hours there each time we visit. Before I was able to get myself settled in, the boys had found their new friend. I was a little surprised they found anyone since they were the only school-age kids there, but they didn’t seem to feel that making friends with a four year old boy was unusual.

After a few hours of playing with their new friend, his mother approached us and asked if we would all like to have some pizza. Since I had planned on ordering a pizza for the three of us anyway, I figured we could all split one. I found out later that my boys’ new friend was the son of the owner of the place. Needless to say, the pizza was on her as a thanks to the boys for keeping her son entertained while she worked.

    It’s always nice when you get an unexpected perk from developing a new friendship. Now if only you could convince your boys to make their “connections” long lasting ones! LOL:)

    I think they would keep some of their new friends around longer if I was more receptive to the idea. They often want to bring their new friend home with them, but it’s rare that I ever learn who the kid’s parent is.

    How’s this for an unexpected surprise: I think that the little image of your site’s that pops up next to the site’s URL looks like two boobies, and it makes me happy.

    LOL Boobies! I’m never going to be able to look at that favicon the same way again.

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.
