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!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

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."

If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the South

May 6, 2007

Several weeks ago, Rob was given the details of his severance package from his new employer. Most of his co-workers were given packages that started a week after they received the news. Rob’s won’t start until December at the earliest. The employees of the transition are given first consideration if they find a job elsewhere in the company. We’re lucky that Rob has time to find something he likes.

So far, we’ve talked about jobs in six different states and two different countries. I’d choose moving out of the country over moving to two of those states. There’s one state I refuse to live in. If Rob was offered a job there, he would have to make enough money to support two homes, since I wouldn’t be willing to relocate there. I’m only half joking. The second state is less awful to me, but only by a smidge. Unfortunately, Rob found a job there he really wants. He’s going to apply, and then we’ll see what happens.

I don’t honestly know what will happen if he’s offered something there. Right now, I don’t want to think about that possibility. Part of me thinks it will be a temporary thing. We’ll be able to move back home eventually. But the other part of me, the increasingly larger part, thinks our next move will be permanent. The thought of living away from my home until retirement makes me unhappy, but the thought of being stuck in a place I don’t want to be is downright depressing.

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.
