<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last few years I've put in a good effort to like it a bit more, but all that blew up this year. </div>
<div>
A) I had two huuuuge tests. And I did rather bad on one after 30+ hours of studying. </div>
<div>
B) As I was driving home from test 2 on 3 hours of sleep, I ran over something on the freeway. Beats the heck out of me what it was. Didn't see a thing in the road, and I wasn't fiddling. I get off the exit and figured it might be my radiator (paranoia because I ran over something that ruined it a while back) so I kept checking to see if the freaking car was over heating. A few minutes later I could smell gas. Didn't think that was a great sign. Saw my gas light switch on and recalled having over a 1/4th tank just a few seconds ago. Anyhooooooooooo I got a hole in my gas tank. Somehow that small object I ran over pierced an a hole all the way through my gas tank. I got a hole in my gas tank. A big hole. I got a hole.</div>
<div>
It cost $678 to get a new gas tank put in.</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Things I could have bought with $678:</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Divided into two categoris......that don't make sense........</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Things to help me stay warm:</b> </li>
<ul>
<li>approx 2 pairs of <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-melissa-button-boot/3033602?origin=category&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Dark+Brown+Burnished&resultback=0">these boots</a>. (or like) I NEED boots. My feet are freezing. You can only wear socks with Sperrys for so long. </li>
<li>This tweed coat I saw this lady wearing the other day... i'm sure it was expensive.....but it wouldn't have capped $200. So i'm going to say at least 3 of those. Also would enjoy a warm insulated puffy coat. Both of those coats lets say and I would have had money to spare.</li>
<li>approx 8 or 9 good electric blankets</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hammacher.com/Product/79622?PID=3349309&source=cj">this</a> is a little much, but i'm just saying I could have bought about 17 of them.</li>
<li>$678 towards a hot tub</li>
<li>At least 75 pairs of good socks/tights.</li>
<li>several new hair dryers (Jane did you steal mine?)</li>
</ul>
<li><b>other things that would've made Sarah's life a little better:</b></li>
<ul>
<li>this one makes me want to throw up... I could have 3 new iphones right now. And a few fun cases.</li>
<li>4 of <a href="http://www.pollstar.com/event.aspx?ID=2006732&source=psvenue">these tickets</a>... the best seats. Or some crappy seats and the roundtrip ticket to L.A.</li>
<li>Approx 135 Subway sandwiches. I'm a regular there. Just switched over from tuna to roast beef... I think i'm going to back to tuna soon. </li>
<li>I'm not going to attempt the math on this one.... but a lot of storage I need for my computer, that currently isn't working because it's too full. </li>
<li>a GRE prep class. (thinking of the future here...obviously the class wouldn't make anything better)</li>
<li>I don't know, Christmas presents for my family maybe</li>
<li>Could have done one heck of a sub for Santa</li>
<li>and on and on and on and on and on and on</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nothing surprises me anymore with those things</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(cars).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>

You guys have been struggling with ideas on how to do things (injuries). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know and i'm sorry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me redeem myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There aren't as many steps with this one, which is nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nor are there as many lasting effects.... but it's something you should all do at least once.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a cigarette lighter, from a car. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you know there are multiple things to do with this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">remove it and use it as a charger for your phone</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">remove it and plug in an ipod hook up, listen to some tunes</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">light a cigarette (so i've heard) </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">warm up your food in small amounts (might be kinda hard)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">burn a napkin (again, might be kinda hard)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">burn and blister your fingers</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: #e06666;">how to:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Burn/blister your finger with a cigarette ligher--</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(unfortunately i didn't document with pictures)</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">WARNING: Steps 1-8 will happen VERY fast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">1. </span>It'd be best if you typically fiddled around with things in a car, as the passenger. Just so its more natural, but if you don't its fine, you can start on the spot. So, first off, fiddle around with all things up front while sitting in the passenger seat, driving around looking for parking. I was extremely (not even extreme enough of a word) hungry... which might have contributed to the nonstop fiddling, so maybe don't eat for a good while before.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">2. </span>After you've messed with a handful of things in the car (you need some examples? open and close the glove (jockey?) box, mess with the cup holder, play with the CD player, monkey around with the air controls, just whatever you can come up with really)...........push in the cigarette lighter... just push it as hard as you can.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">3. </span>Remove it and press it <b>tightly</b> between your thumb, pointer and index fingers. Don't even think about it. Just push it down as firmly as you can.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">4. </span>Wait a second to react.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">5. </span>You'll now realize your skin is literally sizzling. Smoking. It smells like a campfire.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">6. </span>Scream (ahhhhhh).... and drop it on the floor of the car. Hopefully it's carpet so there is a chance it could catch on fire or something.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">7. </span>Your fingers will hurt like c-r-a-p. Just burning burning burning.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">8. </span>Blow on them..... suck on them.... be really annoying about it. Give it the full effect.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">9. </span>You'll finally get a freaking parking place, and into a restaurant (side note: i decided i don't like the Olive Garden much... sorry America). You can now push your little fire fingers against your cold water glass all of dinner. It should distract you a little.<br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">10. </b>Once you leave the restaurant, your fingers will be on FIRE again (no more ice). Heck no, don't even think about asking the nice waiter at Olive Garden for some ice... no siree.<br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">11. </b>Suck on them the whole way home, it's not sanitary.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">12.</span> Sleep with ice on your hand, get your sheets wet. (should sound familiar)<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">13. </span>They'll feel ok when you wake up. Probably will be hard to type/write all day at work/school, but you're fine. Just talk about it a lot, let your co-workers and class mates know you're in pain.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">14. </span>Wait a few days to pop the blisters.. and then keep bandaids on them for 3-4 days afterwards. Really a relatively quick recovery. Something you may or may not be used to.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">15. </span>About a week and a half later, they should be back to normal. You should just feel like an idiot. A really big idiot.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Clearly I have had zero creative blogging juices running through my brain, and this isn't any more evidence that there is any liquid. But it does have to do with liquid....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">About a month ago my mom bought me this at Costco...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Jane came home with a new Brita, this was brought back for me. Liquids all around.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Thought i'd be good for your system," she said. I mean i've got a pretty jacked up system, but I feel like thats a bit personal (which is why i'm blogging about it). But I suppose she is my mother. Anyway, i've been drinking these for about a month now. Haven't noticed a difference system wise, but I don't really know what difference i'm supposed to be noticing. The flavors are kind of growing on me, which was a worry from the beginning. Why am I posting about a sugar free, gluten free, lactose free, diabetic friendly, kosher certified, 5 calorie drink thats hardly effective? We'll i'll tell you. No, i'll show you. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No. First let me get you in on the directions.......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Directions</b>: Add cold water to the fill line of the bottle, pour packet contents into bottle, screw on sport cap , shake and drink! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>HINT</b>: Use less water for a stronger flavor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Here is the bottle:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1myqz-tTVKk9UuCEDMHBRKlKwcd6NonMtadBP-12dLgczb8rDwshIvFda_QJqMvQCaY-L6SPe5cf2dowNQQAjtRthwJY7tQnxi9jpEaZHAQXSYOSGs6di_2cWAIZRGHrEu7NHMhusGk9s/s1600/photo-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1myqz-tTVKk9UuCEDMHBRKlKwcd6NonMtadBP-12dLgczb8rDwshIvFda_QJqMvQCaY-L6SPe5cf2dowNQQAjtRthwJY7tQnxi9jpEaZHAQXSYOSGs6di_2cWAIZRGHrEu7NHMhusGk9s/s640/photo-12.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you see that fill line? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm just confused. I'm confused every day when I <b>don't</b> fill it up to the fill line. I just dont understand why there needs to be a fill line. Clearly you just add water and the packet, doesn't matter how much water. Its a personal preference, says so in the hint. You just add the bloody packet and <b>some</b> water. Thats all. Why does there need to be a fill line? And why couldn't you just fill it to the top if you wanted? I mean it just occurred to me that perhaps they're saying fill it to that line, because you'll have to shake after, and it could overflow? There is the logic. Shoot. Maybe i'm the idiot. No i'm not. Who would need a line there so it doesn't overflow though? Are we people who need help with our digestive troubles and simple logic skills? <span style="background-color: white;">I just wonder. I just don't get it. I've just been confused for a while now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I obviously have nothing to blog about. </div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07918147619141909152noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969578272404172042.post-85829989649244302192012-07-02T18:11:00.002-07:002012-07-02T18:11:43.565-07:00Car Troubles?<br />

It's what gets you ahead in life.</span></span>"</i><br />
<br />
That quote isn't relevant really, besides the fact that i'm having car troubles, and Gob says car troubles...<br />
<br />
Let me first just say that I feel like it is safe to say, that I have awful luck with cars and/or i'm an idiot. Remember senior year when I totalled my parents car AND the relief society president's Lexus? Remember how i've been rear ended/rear ended probably about 10 times? Remember how my car broke down when I was driving to my Grandparents alone, and I had to get the transmission replaced? There are more that aren't coming to mind.... but just remember how i've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on cars? Me too.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">These are my current car troubles:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;">REGISTRATION...expired in Febuary...</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">oil needs to be changed</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">key hole is broken...havent been locking my car for about 3 months, its fine....come break in</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">passenger door won't open from the outside</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">tires need to be rotated</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lets talk about the registration........<br />
I recently realized how past due my registration is.... well I realized it first in April then I forgot about it.... I recently RErealized that I haven't done anything....i've become panicked whenever I drive. I'm convinced that I'm going to get pulled over, when before I realized it was expired, it never crossed my mind, funny how that works. Get it registered you say? It's not that easy. Anyway today while I was driving around there were policeman every.where. I swear when you realize your sticker says a date it shouldn't, policeman come out like crazy. Those creeps.<br />
<br />
Driving is weird.....<br />
Do you ever think about what a strange governed society we live in?<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Particularly driving?</b></span><br />
<br />
I mean all of us are just speeding around on these streets and we all follow the same rules and are scared of the same power-hungry-lighted cars.We all have to pay money to get gas and it doesn't matter how much it costs, because it is vital for us to drive our little metal things on wheels.<br />
<br />
There are so many annoying things about driving; stickers, people cutting you off, speeding, not using their blinker, people hitting you, people talking on their bloody phone and on and on and on...<br />
<br />
But on the contrary, there are some things that I find kinda great about driving. Things about societal transportation that make me feel unified with all of these strange people I've never met, that have to get around just like me. (i'm just trying to throw a positive spin on an otherwise very negative post)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">#1</span> I love love it when an ambulance drives by, not because it means someone is potentially dying, but because everyone pulls over to the side of the road. I love that everyone knows to do that. We all want the ambulance to get to the injured person at the other end and want to make room for them to do that as quickly as possible. What a courteous thing we do.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">#2</span> I mean don't even need to say this one, we're all thinking about it, but when people let you in. How great of them. They want you to not be frustrated almost as much as you do. Furthermore, I feel like a million bucks when I let someone in. I mean how nice is that? Feeling like you did someone a favor that only cost you about five seconds.<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> <span style="font-size: large;">#3</span></span> Oh the head nod/the courtesy wave. It is REAL GREAT. I love that it is so assumed that you'll get it, and/or that you should offer it. We all, well most of us, do it---give a friendly little nod or wave. Its something else. And for some reason I feel like when I'm driving, its pretty genuine. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">#4</span> When I see someone belting it out when they're driving. Just singing at the top of their little lungs. Love it.. In fact, when people are just sitting there, sometimes I'm confused. But then not really, because it's great to just drive silently from time to time.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">#5 <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I actually have no follow up. I just feel like 4 was an odd (no its not) number to stop at. </span></span><br />
<br />

I bet I get pulled over tomorrow for my registration....its been a long time coming.....Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07918147619141909152noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969578272404172042.post-47083700455691807372012-05-30T19:31:00.002-07:002012-05-30T20:26:14.738-07:00Lecture #1 UPDATE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After dozens of emails asking about my poor little toe, I thought i'd follow up and let you kids in on the latest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It finally happened.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two nights ago I was laying in my bed about to hunker down, when I felt my toe nail (what was left of it) snag on my sheets. So naturally, I grabbed the toe nail sheers and I cut along side of the nail that was still attached and off it came, in one piece I might add. <b>My toe nail finally fell off</b> after a long time coming. And you guys, I feel great. I've never been happier. All the day long I just want to look at my toe. I'm obsessed with it. I'd say 65-70% off my conversations since this blessed event have been about my toe nail, or lack of. I feel so free. I've just recently realized how fascinating the human body is... I mean look at that! The new little nail is growing right up! Its right there! How'd it do that? Ain't that something? </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, if you followed the steps, this is your future!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so excited for all of you!</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(these were taken just minutes after I got home today. after all 20 steps are completed, these are the results you're looking for. notice the swelling of the toes and foot, the redness around the nail bud, and the black/gray </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">bruising</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> colors. this will be the best your foot will have looked in over two days, your nail is about ready to fall off!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Look like something <span style="background-color: white;">that might </span>interest you? </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Just follow these 20 simple steps:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">1. </span>First sign up for a half marathon. Set yourself up for failure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">2. </span>Buy three pairs of running shoes and wear the ones that are too small first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">3. </span>Wear them again, even after you find your sock soaked in blood after the first go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">4. </span>Notice your nail turned gray and switch shoes. That way you'll have even less time to break into another pair of shoes before the big race.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">5. </span>Run the said race without taking any precautions to the toe. (you're going to be very tired, for various reasons, while running this race...just to warn you)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">6. </span>Take shoes off after the race and you're sure to see a very black toe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">7. </span>Go home and continue on with your day and try to do as much as possible. (for me, it worked great to; clean, go to a BBQ, study 4 hours, and then go to a wedding reception and mingle with your whole graduating class for about 2 hours, standing the whole time. Don't try to squeeze a nap in. Keep on your feet!) At this point you should be saying, quite frequently, "my toe has a heart beat."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">8. </span>Wear the most uncomfortable shoes to church you can. Sure it doesn't make much sense, but just do it anyway. Beauty is pain, they say. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">9. </span>Your dad is sure to print "what to do for a black toe nail" off the Internet, but just ignore it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">10. </span>Go to dinner at a family friends where they will tell you, after you release the pressure underneath, it will feel better, and do it sooner than later.....but ignore that too. <span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">11. </span>Your parents will even go as far as to offer to take you to insta care, but don't bother to take them up on that. You've got other things to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">12. </span>Go to the library and study until 1 a.m. and then wake up and study some more. You'll be in a lot of pain at this point, but the few minutes it would take to figure out what to do with your toe, wouldn't be worth it. Your studying friends will want to kill you, but keep talking about your toe. (all the studying you've done over the last few days won't really have done much because you were in so much pain, but keep doing it anyway. It's a good waste of time. If you're lucky, you'll probably do as crappy as I did on the test)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">13. </span>Don't eat anything more than 2 1/2 Einstein Bagels (kiss of death) and a banana all day and head on down to wait in a standing line for a concert for a few hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">14. </span>Stand for about 4 hours listening to crappy opening bands, and waiting for the concert and then maybe go ahead and sit when the concert starts. That makes a lot of sense. Also, don't bother to eat anything still. You'll be nauseous every time you stand up and your toe will be pulsing out of your skin, but just hang in there. And a plus, you'll be less than delightful to be around, complaining and whatnot. Although you'll really enjoy the concert, your toe will still be your main focus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">15. </span>Go home and go to bed pretty late, yet again. You can put some ice on your toe for a bit, but don't worry about finding a functional way for it to stay there while you sleep. It'll probably be best to just have a bag of ice to leak all over your sheets.<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">16. </span>Wear some socks and tight shoes the next morning when you get up. Don't even think about sandals, that'd be silly. Did you know that infection grows in moist places? Why wouldn't you want a sweaty little sock on your foot all day?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">17. </span>Go work with an autistic child who has no regard for your pulsing toe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">18. </span>Walk the 15 minute walk to job #2, and don't take your time. You'll be about ready to drop dead right now, but just keep plugging along. The throbbing will only get worse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">19.</span> Once you're at work you probably wont be able to concentrate much and will be doing everything you can not to pass out. Every time you stand up, you'll want to throw up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">20. </span>Go into your boss's office and ask her to rip your toe nail off.<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"> </span>If she's anything like mine, she might just take you up on that, at least to the extent that she can. She'll get all excited to watch the blood/infection squeeze out of your toe, which will kind of confuse you. If you're as lucky as me, the whole office will be watching as your stinky (wouldn't have been if you had worn sandals) foot is up on her desk and she's pushing down as hard as she can to squirt the blood out. You'll let out yelps of pain, and be a little embarrassed. They'll probably say stuff like "how have you even been walking?" and "why wouldn't you have done this two days ago?" etc. Bloody up a few paper towels and fill the whole office with the oder of your foot. You'll then have to put your shoes back on and walk the 15 minutes back to your car. Although the throbbing will have ceased, you'll still in a large amount of pain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>It's as easy as that kids.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Happy toe throbbing!</b></span></div>

are awful....<br />
and here is why:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li> I can't put both of them in at work because then I can't hear the phone. (yes I can with both in with the regular ipod ones) So I have to put one in, but then I only hear half the harmony, or half the instruements. </li>
<li>The other day I was walking up to my car on campus, minding my own business, and the two boys in front of me moved over to the edge of the road, I keep walking for a minute and then turned around to see a large truck right behind me. Didn't hear it driving up at all. I felt like an idiot. </li>
<li>or the worst.....when chewing and every single bite is heard louder than the music.... and this is the one that I think is specific to these headphones. Its horrible. I hate chewing. I hate chewing. I hate chewing. I hate listening to people chew.... I changed my whole morning schedule in high school just so I didn't have to eat breakfast/listen to slurping at the same time as my father. (love him) The last thing I want to do is listen to my own teeth chomp pretzels while i'm trying to listen to music. </li>
</ol>

I don't know if any of you have heard about <a href="http://www.shopcitycreekcenter.com/">City Creek</a>? Its kind of this new thing in SLC. Not many people know about it yet. Anyway, since none of you have probably made it there, I just wanted to tell you to go....I'm a huge fan. Maybe try to go, if you have time. I know its not well known, and most are aprehensive....but it might be worth it to just check it out. Its kinda fun....ok in all honesty, I was kind of obsessed with it. And the fountain with fire is great. Fountains AND fire. Two of my fav things combined. #twothingsyouwouldntthinkwouldgotogethereveritdoesntmakesense.</div>

Perhaps it is because it followed President Eyring's talk, which was arguably my favorite (if i'm allowed to say that), but I was loving this song....love the verse that is men/acapella.... and how on earth could anyone not tear up watching that man cry at the end? Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet.</div>

<div>
I bought one of them on Saturday.... and two tonight. Why, you ask, did I buy all three? Because I can't decide which one to keep, of course. One of them is more pricey. One of them is supposedly more comfortable. And one of them is worse looking. ...tricked you, i'm talking about the same one. Can you guess? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But after staring at them for an hour, I don't even know if any of them are good looking anymore. Nor do I know if I should be at all concentrating on the look of them. Perhaps I should have been walking around in them for an hour instead. But I mean really, they're all probably about the same comfort wise, if we're being honest. Relatively close. I just make things harder than they should be. #overanalyzer<br /></div>
<div>
I need to just pick one. So if someone would just pick one for me, that'd be great. #domeafavor</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I can't run tomorrow because I can't wear one of them, if i'm returning it. #theproblemskeeppilingup</div>

Its a 6 pound bag of pretzels from Costco. Just this weekend I finished it up. I single handedly ate the whole bag over the course of a few short weeks. It doesn't matter that Costco only sells food in bulk, just be obsessed with what you buy and you can eat it all yourself! I am also single handedly eating pounds of.....</div>

You may be thinking....You can get these food items from other places besides Costco silly Sarah. Well that is true. BUT they're not as good from Smiths, Albertsons, or even Dicks. I tested the yogurt. I bought the same yogurt from Costco and Smiths. Who do you think won? Costco puts magic in their food. </div>

Approximately two months ago, I took some lasagna in a tupperware to work for lunch. That night I returned home with it still in my back pack, I forget why I didn't eat it, but thats not important. I was about to take it into the kitchen to dispose of it, since it had been sitting in my backpack all day I thought it probably wasn't a good idea to put it back in the fridge for a hungry memeber of my family. As I was walking into the kitchen I heard my mom coming downstairs (hi mom). Not that i'm deceitful, but I just wasn't in the mood to get the, 'youre wasting food' talk, as it was a very reasonable talk for her to talk. (love you mom) Anyway. so I took the tupperware back in my room and put it under my bed, thinking i'd deal with it later. Well guess what I found under my bed last night??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looked much like this: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I feel like the white substance was much taller.....and whiter. I would have liked to get a more accurate picture of mine, but I was super freaked out. I thought it was alive. Well I suppose it was, mold is alive, right? ............It is, I just googled it. I screamed and it took me about 5 minutes to pick it up and throw it away. What if it got on my carpet and is now crawling up under my bed? Possible? Well it's a sick thought. Sick sick sick sick sick sick sick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, mold is disgusting. And i'm going to go ahead and just eat my lunch from now on and/or not take food in a tupperware that I may not eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND, my room is relatively clean, that was the only thing under my bed. So. </div>

That was George Bailey's final statement, he had to have felt good about that one.</div>

So just in case. That'd be a good last line..not that I want/expect there to be a last line in the near future. </div>

I did it today in fact.<br />
<br />
It is because.... or i'm saying it is because....well let me first start by telling you that i'm pretty positive that i'm dyslexic. You may think i'm joking, but i'm not. I'm pretty sure its real.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Examples: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(the bolded figures are there for clarification as to where the error is)</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I'm at work and i'm supposed to type: TR#456789 I type: TR#4567<b>98</b> </li>
<li>At school i'm supposed to write: Aphasia is an acquired language impairment that cuts across all modalities (auditory, comprehnsion, verbal, expression, reading and writing) I write: Aphasia is an acquired language impairment that cu<b>st</b> across all modaliti<b>se</b> (auditory, comprehens<b>oi</b>n, verb<b>la</b>, expression, reading and <b>rw</b>iting) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(let me know if you want any other facts on Aphasia....)</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div>
<div>
When we learned about dyslexia last semester I thought it sounded all too familiar (along with learning disabilities) Anyway how does this relate to me locking my keys in the car? Well I'll see my keys and _____ when getting everything from my car and think, "i'll need to grab my keys and i'll just leave _____ in here"...or... yeah thats usually what it is. Anyway then I end up taking _____ that I wasn't going to and leaving my keys in the car. It happens...... do you want a number? Ok. I'd say every other week. Thats ridiculous. Not normal. Now I may be generalizing this dyslexic thing a little.... but just in case it's linked...... this is a warning to all of you. If you get a phone call from me at 4:30 or 5 PM.... it means that i've locked myself out and want you to come and give me a ride so I don't have to take the bus. DON'T ANSWER YOUR PHONES. I need to train my brain to not do this. I'll never learn if I get bailed out. You can serve someone else.<br />
<br />
It's ok.... Mr. Newsom, the 7th grade math teacher everyone hated, was dyslexic. I should be fine.</div>

...Anyway, I did it because my mother told me I was eating too much candy and it really ticked me off that she noticed. So I was trying to prove to her that I wasn't dependant sugar. But anyway I did it. If you knew how much sugar i'd been eating before <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Halloween</span>, you'd be more impressed than you are.<br />
<br />
Well if you were wondering what the record for fully diving back into sweets is.....I did it in about a minute.... so I think I beat whatever it was previously. I tell you I have eaten more treats (eg. pie, cookies, candy......I can't believe i'm giving examples of treats. you're not idiots) since <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #7f6000;">Thanksgiving</span> than I ever thought was possible. Kinda thought i'd be able to control myself after being used to nothing for a month. No sir. I've proven to myself I can only do one extreme or the other. But see, I decided it all evens out.<br />
<br />
So here is the plan........ I figure if, for the rest of my life, I just go a month without them and a month with them I should equal the moderate sugar eater. Here is where I need assistance. All I need is someone to tell me i'm eating too much sugar, near the end of the treat month, to slightly offend me to keep me motivated. You can take turns. I don't care how you decide to divide it out.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">December</span> is yes treat month<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">January</span> is no treat month<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">February</span> is yes treat month<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">March</span> is no treat month<br />
etc<br />
<br />
Thanks for your cooperation. Happy Holidays! Best time of the year. Tis the season. Bring me some holiday candies.<br />
<br />
Apparently I decided to color code the holidays/months.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07918147619141909152noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969578272404172042.post-71493889829726696532011-11-21T08:14:00.000-08:002011-11-21T08:37:29.460-08:00Jane be Jane on LORITAB<div style="text-align: center;">

Much like my friend <a href="http://juneyb.blogspot.com/">Juneyb</a>, i'm loving Billy Joel right now. Actually because of her, he's all i've been listening to. Which consequently, has got me thinking about Larry... which has got me missing high school choir. Simple times. Anyway, typically I am eating up Christmas music about this time of year. Maybe its a good thing i'm not...apparently it is kind of controversial. Sorry to those i've offended. Thanksgiving is a good holiday. Gratitude is nice. I'm grateful for a lot of things. </div>

While reading, I realized that some of them aren't entirely accurate anymore. I would like to do all things in my power to be completely honest to all of my many many many many readers.<br />
So I am now going to revamp a few posts (in no particularly order):<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I love water. I really do, but I can't say I am drinking <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/09/tmi.html">quite this much</a> anymore. I should probably start doing that again. You are correct, that wasn't that long ago. I don't keep goals very long.</li>
<li>I definitely have <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweater-vs-henley.html">this professor</a> again. And much to my dismay, he must have bought a whole new wardrobe over the summer. I mean we occasionally get to see the old articles, but for the most part, he's doing pretty well for himself in the clothing switching up business.</li>
<li>Our <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/03/im-just-sayin.html">toaster</a> is working just fine. But, I also don't eat as much toast as I used to. Yeah but I really think it's adequately toasting our bread. I was being dramatic. </li>
<li>The more I've thought about it, i'm NOT looking forward to Halloween. Still <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/10/hate-hate-hate-double-hate-loathe.html">hate</a> it. I think I was confusing Halloween with fall. Because i've decided I LOVE fall. It was an optimistic day, October 3rd, but not very realistic. </li>
<li>It's not even a question in my mind anymore, i'm not really an <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/06/person-who-is-fully-grow-or-developed.html">adult.</a></li>
<li>I have many more <a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/04/ive-got-problem.html">problems</a> than this would suggest. </li>
<li><a href="http://itsmebear.blogspot.com/2011/02/pure-honey.html">Honey</a> is real good, but it's not the new nutella. Come on! What was I saying? Nutella will always be the new nutella. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other than that, i'm pretty sure they're all current. Just trying to be truthful here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. I should probably clear this up.... but I didn't see it was fitting in the list because I never really "said" it.... I suppose it was implied though. <br />
