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

Unreachable Itch
I have that itch to create again. How many times have we been through this already? Every time it returns, I go through the motions of making something, but I’m never quite convinced that I’ve done whatever it was I was trying to do.
I’d really like to work in clay again. I feel like things were finally clicking for me when I finished up my last ceramics class. I’d really like to explore working in metals again too. And printmaking has always interested me, but I never ended up taking a class in it for some reason. I think the pattern here is that I enjoy working in a classroom environment. Maybe I need the deadlines and specific goals that are created by instructors. Maybe I need the comaraderie of like-minded people. Hmm. I wonder if that is the real reason I enjoy college so much.
Unfortunately, going back to college (or even enrolling in a single class) is just not possible right now. If choosing to homeschool, having another baby, and a lack of finances aren’t confining enough, there’s the anticipated move to Ohio/Missouri/Montana/Texas. I’m really going to have to get thinking if I want to scratch this itch.

March 16th, 2007 at 4:08 pmI guess I am (currently) in the opposite boat from you. I have a long list of projects I want to do, and very, very little time in which to do them. In some ways, it’s nice having a bunch on the back-burner though. When I do get some time, I have a wide selection to choose from, so I can find whatever it is that fits my mood that instant.
Good luck finding something cool to do. Maybe you could incorporate it into the homeschooling. Suggest some of those ideas to the boys and see if they are interested in pursuing one of them for themselves. Then as you can all work on projects simultaneously and draw inspiration from each other. Or something like that.

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.
