Sorry it’s been awhile.
So, lately I’ve noticed I’ve been obsessed with good deals, coupons, and free stuff. Oh, and fresh cash sorted in envelopes. I don’t know why, but all I can ever think about is how I can acumulate more stuff for either free or with a deal.  Like at work, we have these fast and friendly days where whoever has done the most transactions at the end of the day gets a $25 gift card to WHEREVER! and I get so super competitive about it, cause I want that gift card SO BAD! And also I got a victoria’s secret crED card a little bit ago, and I have to use every little coupon they gave me in that little coupon book. There is one for each month, and thus far I am two for two. Oh yeah, (josh, you’ll be happy about this) the other day josh and I were Christmas shopping for my dad at oldnayvy, and I was looking for a pull-over sweatshirt for him, and we found these nice fleece ones, well, the deal on them is that if you bought one at regular price they were 16.50, HOWEVER, if you buy two, you get them BOTH for a total of 15.00…………………………………….think about it……………………………………………………………………a little bit longer……………………………………………………………………………………………

SO, if you DON’T get the second one, you are actually paying them MORE for less, or maybe if you buy just one, they should pay YOU a dollar fifty, or, how about this, they should just split the tables with one half where you have to purchase the sweatshirts that are on that side, and the other side they are just free.  Or, if you decide later that you should have got the second one, you return, steal the sweatshirt and demand they pay you a dollar fifty just for getting it off their hands. That’s the deal of a lifetime, friends.

So on the airplane ride yesterday I saw my first black man comb-over. It was a sight. He had those weird skinny dreadlocks that came down to about his chin, and to cover up his bald spot in the back, he simply selected 3 dreads and pulled them straight back, from forehead to back of the skull, to cover his shiny head. I never knew how that worked, but now I know.
I also saw this little kid picking his nose and eating it, it was really gross, but it got me to thinking “Why are boogers such a tasty treat?” I mean, ok, I’ll be honest, I used to eat ‘em when I was a kid, but why was it such a tantalizing treat? Can anyone relate? What a weird thing. Who knew mucus and dust particles could make such a toothsome* combination. I can’t answer that.

I was listening to a song today about christmas and one of the lines says “tonight’s the night the world begins again”, and I just got to thinking about how amazing our God is, and how important this celebration we are approaching is. It was the start of a new begining for all of us…a continuous new begining, a fresh start for us every single day of our lives, if we need. I don’t know, that is just pretty incredible to me.  I love my God so much.

Well, first off, I feel like I owe my friend David Carroll an apology for attacking him for supposedly attacking my post. Wow, yeah, good point chris, it was weird that I jumped all over him like that…who gets defensive about carmen sandiego?? Apparently I do. It was dumb, and I love you David, and thanks for being a good friend.

Secondly, there was something I meant to post about a few days ago, but didn’t get around to. As I approached my car when I walked out of the bank (my job) on Saturday I was taken aback by what i saw

yep. an admirer of mine left me a rose and a note. It was from Jose who works across the street at dick hannah. This is what the note said:
“Sara,
I hope you have a wonderful day!!
-Jose”

I am going to add it to my collection. It’s funny, all you have to do is be friendly and kinda cute, and the boys will love ya! haha

Anythewhoo, It’s weird, because up until this point I’ve haven’t had any run-ins, or “situations” or anything like that with boys (well, except for Joel, but that’s just like cleaning out my car, it happens every couple weeks or so…) But recently, I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been having my fair share of male-related dilemmas, more in the past 2 weeks than in the last year! I’m tellin’ ya, when it rains, IT POURS.

Anythewhoo, beside that, I had the best weekend (well, sunday night/monday) ever!! I was supposed to go snowboarding on monday, because it was my day off, so I spent the night at the husemoens after having a good time with my buddies at a.bees, and josh and I watched Elf, which I placed a bet with him that I would NOT fall asleep, and if I did then I owed him a starbucks. I made it until the last 20 minutes….I TRIED SSOOOOO HARD!!!! I really did, I swear, I was sitting up, shaking my head, slapping myself, but I just couldn’t do it! SO, NEEDLES to say I owe the chump a starbuckzzzzz. Then, we woke up at 630 the next morning to the news that the weather conditions on the mountain were CRAP-

6o mph winds, and

WHITE OUT conditions. (gosh…that was really cheesy)
No good. So, it was a fun MOVIE DAY!!! We went out to breakfast at carols where the portion sizes are EPIC, and then we watched movies all day!!! And I fell asleep during ALL OF THEM!!!! Just for kicks and giggles At the end of the night, we topped it all off by watching Donnie Darko, which I DID infact stay awake for the ENTIRE thing, it was my third time watching it and IT FINALLY MADE SENSE!!! THen it was late, and I slept at the husemoens again, only to return to my pad at 630 the next morning. A complete cycle.

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She’s a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She’ll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Well she glides around the globe and she’ll flimflam every nation,
She’s a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary’s loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

….I had to know….

So, yesterday was strange. I experienced things I’ve never experienced before, had some good talks, worked hard, got angry, got over it, and was basically in a fog all day, so I’d like to apologize to the innocent bystanders. Yep.

My hair got done.
