so... here is me. (click to see bettAr.)

it turns out that the gajillions of pictures i got are all in some wierd format, so i just have three in .jpg right now. this would be my mismatched european fashion look, or so i am told. about three hours after this my hair started to hurt like a jbzxgljbfdger.

it almost seems like a good idea to start my christmas shopping right now. cause there are things that are awesome, and yes.

xochi is the name of a dishtowel company.

i think my problem is that i want my future now.

so, i didn't say anything on here about this before, but i did a bit of a photo shoot on monday. it may or may not lead to.... i don't know. modeling jobs. but anyways, i did it and there are about 300 pictures of me that i will be recieving tommorow. i already have three of them and a few people have seen those three.

i had a buttload of fun, even though i was also wearing a buttload of makeup. (this includes on my arms and legs.)

i'm wearing my own clothes in the pictures, but my hair is quite crazy and there is, as i said, a copious amount of makeup involved. concensus seems to be that in some of the pictures i don't look like sarah at all. you can decide that for yourself because i will put a couple pictures up after i get them.

shrug.

as promised to thomas and steph, here is me and my new car. (with guest appearances by the dog and rosie the ex-car) steve and i drove down to my parent's house on saturday and picked it up, after a whirlwind long-distance car buying experience. :o)

oh, thomas? 64.

i feel really dumb, but i do smell like "fresh breeze" scent.

i spilled a cup of laundry detergent down the washer and onto the floor in my laundry room. so i cleaned it up, and then poured a new cup of detergent that i DROPPED on the floor. i mean, it got everywhere. on my leg, on the wall, on some of the food in my pantry, on the vaccumn cleaner...

i am awesome. i got to clean up the mess again, and i just smell so pretty, along with all the other objects and surfaces in my laundry room/pantry.

i now have wireless dsl!

and i almost had a car, too. but.... no. of course it turned out to be a smoker's car. right now, it looks like our frontrunner is a honda tribute.

happy valentines day.

or not.

i had a nice one, and NOW i have to do schoolwork. valentine's day should be a national holiday so we don't have this problem.

i made handmade valentines for my kids, too. ain't they nice?

this evening at the grocery store, i found sushi on a shelf with the crackers, and frozen macaroni in a magazine rack.

on our way to the opera.

after a sum total of a year and four months of dating, this is the very first picture of us. i would laugh so hard if there was a picture from freshman year, when we both had short hair.

steve and i went to the opera this weekend. it was the opening night of carmen. very very fun. (or should i be hip and say v v fun instead?)

we got all dressed up, and i even wore mascara

i told steve that we were probably the poorest people at the opera. we rock.

my local public library now looks like one of those photographs of a hard-hit town in tornado alley. it is a pile of wood and metal with bulldozers, which makes me think that probably i can't go there and check out that book i've been wanting to read since like september.

evidently they are remodeling.

i guess it would be rebuilding, wouldn't it... anyways, the library will probably not return in a usable state until i no longer live a 3 minute walk from it.

you'd think that i'd visit the damn library more than once in the 7.5 months i've lived here, but i guess 3 minutes is just too long to walk. now i'll have to drive 12 minutes and we all know that i'm too lazy for that too.

yeah, well don't i just suck for not posting. i was busy hanging out with the boyfriend, plus the boyfriend's sister and company. we went to berkely etc etc etc and i weigh 130 pounds! for like 4 days in a row!

plus my students make me want to take naps and not do unpleasant things like go to school.
