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

Working our way through the M states
Just minutes before Rob had his second phone interview for the job in Missouri, he got a call for an interview for a job in Maryland. I’ve never been to Maryland, but there’s something about it that appeals to me. I feels like it would be different, but in a good way. I know very little about Maryland that would be useful to us as we consider moving there. Okay, I’ve checked the homeschooling laws, climate, and the cost of living. Oh, and I looked at Baltimore with Google Earth. But other than that? I’m clueless.
I’m not eager to move exactly. It’s the uncertainty of it all that has me so restless. So everytime Rob gets a lead, I feel the need to find out at least a little bit about the area in which he’s looking. But that’s to be expected, right?
BTW, if anyone can tell me anything useful about the Baltimore area, I’m all ears!

August 17th, 2007 at 9:47 amI went to Baltimore with my kids a few years ago, they have a fairly clean downtown area with a nice aquarium, shopping center, waterfront activities, ball park. Ocean City is a fun touristy waterfront location as well, although, I haven’t been there in a long long time. It’s also within a day trip distance to DC and many other historic activities.
That being said, both East and West Baltimore have some seriously high crime rates. Ugly commuting is a concern as well.

The city proper just seems to have more troubles than the average big city.

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.
