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 think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

I started a new craft project this weekend. It involves knitting, felting, and sewing. So far, I’m getting only fair results, but each attempt is showing improvement. I’ll post some pics if I get something that looks less amateurish. I think I’ll need to invest in a felting needle to get the effect I’m hoping for.

My dad belongs to a group that holds a family picnic every summer. This year’s picnic was yesterday. Last week, I complained about the water temperature in Florida being too warm. Yesterday, I got the other extreme. The temp outside was only in the 70s. The water temp was in the chattering teeth range. But, being the stupid, water park loving Michiganders that we are, we braved the water anyway.
One of the other activities was a pie eating contest. The prize was a PS2. My boys don’t like pie, so chose not to participate. Two of my cousin’s kids competed though. (The girl on the left, and the boy on the right.) Can you guess which kid won? Ahem.

My MIL is up from Naples and is staying with us this week. Unfortunately, our weather hasn’t been very welcoming. The forecast is rainy and cold, which changes at least one of our plans.
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.
