behold the future:
I took a quiz today about what my life will be like when I “grow up” on Facebook. And these are the results:
“You live in a mansion. You’ll make $900,000 a year. You own a limo. Your job will be either a doctor or scientist. Your husband/wife will be lazy, spoiled, attractive and social. You’ll only have one kid. You’ll die at forty because of alcohol. Yes,...
For many years my friends have been pushing me to write a book about my life. However I refuse. Well this morning on the way to work I figured out the title for the never-to-be-published guide to my life. It will be “Riding in the car with my mom” I of course would have guest writers compose chapters of their experiences as well, like Jamie for example could describe her near death experience. ...
Let Teddy Win!!
Last night Marianne texted me a picture of the racing presidents. It made my day, then today while bored out of my mind at work I decided to go to the president’s webpage and play around. Under the picture of my favorite racing president, Teddy Roosevelt there was the following:
“Teddy is a mystery. Winless in ‘06, Teddy has become a crowd favorite among fans who seem...

"1 2 3 4 5 6 buzz 8 9 10 11 oh CRAP!"
This weekend was amazing! I haven’t been able to say that in a while due to the constant hustle and bustle that is my life. But this weekend was different. I spent Friday night at Lake Anna with Joe and Katie who are home on their American farewell tour before they leave me forever to live in Bosnia. So that was a good time, nothing says “summer fun” like drunken pontoon boating and midnight...
I received a letter via bike messenger today:
Dear Sarah:
In case you haven’t been able to tell by the recent activities in your life, I hate you.
love, God
p.s. You’re crazy foreign Kennedy loving grandparents are coming to visit for 10 days….better brush up on your Gaelic
find me the nearest dude ranch......
Friday night granddaddy called and said he was going out of town for the night but grandma and I were going out to a late dinner with her old friend. The dinner included me, grandma, her friend Suzan and Suzan’s grandson Jeffrey Alton. Jeffrey was giving us a riveting tale about this wedding he recently attended where the bride wore cowboy boots under her wedding dress. He was appalled. ...
I am not crazy...
So today was a very exciting day for Marianne. She got to witness the King Street Twins. I have been talking about them and their matching clothing and backpacks for weeks now, and i have yet to have the pleasure of showing someone else….until today that is. We were walking to lunch (which was extra delicious today because the ban on tomatoes is over) when I spotted them and thank god I...
Dear Arizona:
Arizona, I used to love you. I thought you were beautiful and the home of my favorite hero of all time Doc Holliday too bad I now hate you. So this is my first “work vent” session. But it is well deserved. I have been working on this project for the past two weeks. It should have taken about 3 days however, my entire office could not figure out how to read the data sheets so it...
"I would go back in time to when socks were called...
I had to sticky note all the clocks in my little corner of the office. I didn’t realize how many time informants there are in here until today. It’s annoying. Time in Alexandria is on standstill and it’s not cool. Today should have been a shorter day however it is getting longer by the minute. I took a half day because I had to go to the doctor this morning. I had an MRI of my shoulder taken...
The world has officially ended....
So I dropped the bombshell on Gary and Damitra about the volunteer service possibility for my post graduate life and it basically started a family feud. For real this time. While I have it on good authority I could do no wrong in the eyes of the Meeds….I may have been getting my info from a source who misled me.
So the fam got together for one of our family fun night meals plus Andy’s best...
I almost forgot....
Last night we got my dad a new TV because of all this HD digital scare or Father’s day or a combination of both. And of course on Dad’s new TV we had to watch Gilmore Girls….and well I get up and get a snack and when I come back to the room my dad is screaming “whore!” and “skank!” at the television….then he threw the pillow and said “I loved...
gulp gulp drink some water
So last night my mom made me babysit these two obnoxious children. I didn’t want to but they really needed someone and like my mom always does she volunteered me. So I drive in town, and their mother tells me they watch Harry Potter all night then fall asleep. Which is not much different than what I was planning to do at my house. Except the only Harry Potter we can find is 5 and of...

My grandather sent me an IM last night that said “If you’re here don’ answer” I had no idea what he meant until my mom said “Sarah, grandma’s on the phone for you”:
Damitra: Sarah! I know why you’re having such a hard time finding a husband
Me: (This will be good) Why Grandma?
Damitra: Because all your boyfriends have had long last names, since you...
The reason the world is in shambles.....
Me: So Obama is going to be at Nissan tonight
Casey: Shut up! I hate democrats, all of them. Always have and always will.
Me: Isn’t that Bobby Kennedy?
Casey: OMG! Where? I LOVE his whole family!
[Editor’s Note: Clearly by her response she has only a slight clue of who Bobby Kennedy actually WAS, the majority of the world doubt his being spotted walking down king street. Still love...
WatchI really think Teddy should be given a chance….
and the rain came tumbling down.....
I woke up on time this morning and ate breakfast with my mom. Then went to work, on time and started working (or IMing with Marianne whichever you prefer). I then trekked outside on this beautiful day lunch with Meredith in Rosslyn. It was pretty fun except for the train was late so i ended up spending two hours riding the metro and ten minutes eating, but whose counting? It was awesome seeing...
"This should help lower the divorce rate"
This entry has two parts. Both revolve around weddings: or lack there of. I think something must be in the air. Yesterday was the most surreal day I have had in a long time. (I have to find new words to describe my life because “strange” is getting old hat.) So I was bored at work as usual and started checking the away message statuses of my friends. One of my life long good friends (whose...

I'm magic...
“….for mere words are inadequate to express the subtle magic that is yours for the taking” That was part of my horoscope this morning; and I couldn’t have said it better myself. HAHA
Remember when I said I was in 6 weddings this...
….well make that 5. This morning was honestly the strangest phone call of my life. I got to work at 8:30AM and there was a message on my desk that read: “Sarah: Jason Campbell called Friday afternoon. Wedding cancelled, postponed til Cait’s wedding July 26th. Left no return number” So I had no idea what that meant. Jason = good friend from high school. Who is getting...
The things I do for lunch....
So yesterday I had an interesting experience attempting to eat my lunch. I had an entire hour to eat, I was super excited and asked marianne (the King Street Native) where to go, she informs me that “Bittersweet” is the best. We trek all the way out there (about 8 blocks) order the food, attempt to pay with work’s card - unfortunately they no longer take discover. So we pack it...
my revelation
So today I realized that Patrick Swayze sings “she’s like the wind” from the dirty dancing album. There I was sitting at my computer listening to Launch – yahoo’s online radio, when I hear this old familiar song. I begin humming, which leads to singing quietly to myself, which leads to Laura coming out of her office to hear the song too, which leads to Mike saying as he...

Last night on St. Patty’s day I couldnt go out because i had a class to teach this morning at 8am…So my roommate and her friend Tim were getting ready to go Irish Car Bombing and this being the first time he met me commented “WOW, on my 21st...

So the superbowl was a super-bust for me. I’m not particularly fond of the New York Giants and I pretty much hate the Patriots for no other reason than Mike likes them. So the BORING game that lasted until the last 4 minutes when it got good. And while I’m glad that the Patriots lost the Giants victory meant nothing to me… I got a message from Ruth yesteday that stated she...
My life has come full circle...i think
So i went to Sharkey’s tonight because its a bar and well who couldn’t use a drink after the Monday through Thursday that I have had? So I am sitting at the bar with Will and Scotty and this random fellow comes up to me and I am quoting verbatim “Do you have any raisins?” And with a chuckle between the three of us I replied with “sorry but No” (giggle giggle)...

my life has purpose...
It’s been one of those weeks that is only going to get better when my entire family takes over Blacksburg on Monday. Its recruitment for our chapter and to say the least I am stressed. School, love, friends and Emily are making my day to day schedule require a beverage I am currently not permitted to consume. Thank you Panhellenic. As the snow began to fall again today I grabbed my box...
The story of my life....
This is a great story read in its entirety: So today was the third day of classes. Woo freakin Hoo…I walk into my freshman government class sit down and begin talking to Jake. He begins discussing the political situation facing Americans today and I eagerly join the conversation. Then the girl behind us joins in which in this case I find interesting because normally that doesnt happen. ...
Its 3AM and I'm not asleep....whose surprised!?!
Well I am taking the leap…jumping right in to whatever this tumble thing is all about. Thanks to Becca of course. And what better time to start my new online life than at 3AM like all the other internet junkees out there. THanks to the removal of my tonsils and the amazing pain killers they put me on my nights are now days and my days are now nights….its a great way to live except...
