Inspiration Over Rice

On Tuesday, I was frustrated with creative gift. It seemed that everyone finished or had their creative gift ironed out and I was the only one that didn't have an idea on what to create. After racking my brain all morning, I asked Choke to join me for lunch at Rumbi, hoping that Choke could suggest an idea or that I could pick his brain. I kept saying, "I have no clue what to make. I might just not participate. What the &%$# can I make!" I repeated it over and over again causing a headache. Choke probably got sick of me saying it over and over ... but I was running on empty. I was totally out of ideas ... out! Then Choke came up with the idea for an origami gift. It wasn't a bad idea but I had zero interest in folding paper into a crane, if you know what I mean. While I tried to enjoy my teriyaki rice bowl, I thought of ways that I can be creative/artistic. Then it hit me, like time released morphine. KA-POW ... rice bowl in your face! The light bulb went off ... bright and white! I was going to need Brown's assistance and luckily, Brown didn't execute his first idea. The pieces fell together perfectly and the plan was executed this evening. Booyakasha ... done and done!!!

And I thought my creative gift last year was pretty good. Well, this year's is GREAT! Actually, it's pretty AMAZING! Unfortunately, I can't share it on this posting but will shortly. Much more to come ... and then some ...
