Birthday-a-polooza.
Remember when you were 6 and all of your friends came over and you played pin the tail on the donkey, ate cake, opened presents and you reveled in the joy of handing out party favors because you had to beg your Mom to let you get the My Little Pony party pack that came with the matching table wear, hats and goody bags?? Remember that? Then you grew up.... and you still beg your Mom for the My Little Pony party pack? No? Oh ok fine, I don't either.. Needless to say I love my birthday, I like being spoiled on my birthday (I also have a fear people will forget about my birthday, is that not conceded or what?!).. Birthday's are a big deal to me.
My friend Janna had said jokingly that you're allowed to celebrate your birthday for a whole week, I laughed about that sentiment.. but now looking back...
It all began the Saturday prior to my Birthday with a trip to the Temple to do sealings.. ok that wasn't planned for my birthday, but I went and did them and it was seriously my favorite ordinance in the Temple thus far. After, the temple I went up to Mt. Vernon to visit my "friend". He gave me some sweet kicks (a pair of Pumas).. Seriously I have them on right now as I am typing..
Sunday, I awoke to SNOW!! Can this be anymore awesome?! I mean they even cancelled the last hour of church so I didn't have to teach my Relief Society lesson, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! The Bishopric is so nice. After church, my "friend" came over and had a special Birthday dinner with my family, chicken fried steak was on the menu (it's what I ask for every year). After dinner we enjoyed what my Mom called a "busted" black forest cake, which was very chocolaty and cherryey..
my "friend" was so kind to document me blowing out my candles (I think I look like ET in this picture).
After dinner Russ and I went over to my friend Janna and Aaron's, in which Janna had made me Nutella "pupcakes" with Nutella butter cream frosting and candied hazelnuts, (I was so full that I had to save them for the next day).. I was also showered with owl drawings from her daughter Josi. We sat and talked for a few hours, which is always my favorite.
Monday, MY BIRTHDAY DAY! My closest friends from church and I enjoyed lunch at my favorite Mexican Restaurant. I am so happy I was able to spend it with those who came, I truly felt the love from my peeps with candy, glitter nail polish, cards, a jar of Nutella with a pimped out spoon AND my Mom brought me a singing balloon and glittered my seat.. she's a nice girl. As lunch was wrapping up, I forgot that they make you wear a lice infested sombrero and sing to you.. BUT I enjoyed it and I also enjoyed the fried ice cream..
Lunch was truly the best thing ever, I love my friends. I also love all the phone calls, texts and Facebook messages I received from everyone else in my life. I truly felt loved...
The week continued with a snow and ice storm which is all I wanted for Christmas, so I accepted it as a birthday present instead.. Wednesday I made it to work through the snow, but Thursday and Friday were different stories... It's a shame I didn't capture the beauty of the snow, but I captured the essence of how people react here in Port Orchard to the reports of winter storms heading our way..
Yep, that's right, NO MILK!! People in WA seriously freak out about snow, it's not even funny.
Well Wednesday night the snow had stopped and the freezing rain came through turning the snow into sheets of ice, this caused me not to be able to leave my street. So I spent the day sleeping, enjoying a good game of Phase 10 with family and even enjoyed using the natural resources to cool my glass of root beer. DON'T JUDGE!
After the snow had ceased and the ice was beginning to melt it was time to wrap up my Birthday Extravaganza week.. with ONE MORE gift. A boyfriend (even if it's not FB official). Ok that sounds so dumb, but it's true, my "friend" Russ and I have been counting down until we could officially date each other (2.5 months). He was in the process of getting divorced and we decided (through some counsel) that we should wait to "date" (haha that rhymes) until the dust had settled. So my friend's daughter had made a paper chain in which we used to count down the days until we didn't have to be just "friends". I never thought it would be so hard to be some one's friend before, especially someone like me that is weird about love, but let me tell you it is.
Saturday night this what I saw:
I'm still getting used to saying "we", "us", "boyfriend", but I love every time they come out of my mouth. He really is a super, awesome, fantastic, great guy and though it's still early in our "relationship" and I try not to get too wrapped up or disappointed in the fantasy, I am excited to see where it leads..
So there you have it, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
I guess Janna was right... you are allowed to celebrate your birthday all week long!

The World is ending, so I'm resoluting..
2011 is over and...?
It's that time of year where I reassess my resolutions and typically resolute the same things over again. In 2011, I think I did better than I've ever done.. So let's recap last years goals:
1. Drop some LBS
2. Pay off Debt
3. Go through the Temple
4. Study the Book of Mormon as well as Preach my Gospel.
Well how did I do??
1. I lost 20lbs, how? Playing floor hockey only once a week... just imagine if I played 3 times?!
2. Uhhhh... #3?
3. May 28, 2011
4. I made it through more than half, that's something right??!!
So what's next?
I feel like 2012 will be even more eventful than 2011, how do I know? I don't, I just like to say that so it sounds cool.
I guess with the new year I should plan some “resolutions” .. Which as some of us are aware are usually hard for me. I'd like to really stick to my plan this year.. So with that said, in 2012 I would like to:
- Lose another 20lbsA. This would entail me actually watching what I eat, and not just as it enters my mouth. The past three months I think I've eaten out more than I have all year! So I really need to eat better, but I am doing a no fast food for the month of January challenge, but that doesn't include Pizza or Subway... HAHA sucka's!!B. Also, I need to start working out more often. I really want to get a gym membership and turn into the gym rat that I once was. I would also like to start playing basketball on Mondays, I have become so lazy and enjoy sleeping in on Mondays.. This will change.C. I'd also like to attempt a 5K race, maybe at least 3
- PAY OFF DEBTI had this one down last year and I really need to take another stab at it. I don't have a lot of debt, in fact I'm proud to say it would be easy to pay off.. but I love money and I hoard it when I have it.
- Be more service orientatedI started this one on my own last year without actually planning on it, I think there was a lesson at church about praying for service opportunities. I started doing that, and at first I will admit it was hard when people would turn down your offers and take other people's instead. It was hard when I wouldn't look for it and it would show up unexpectedly and sometimes it was hard to ask for an opportunity when I knew asking would result in an opportunity.
I've dealt with people not even asking me to help because well... I'm a single person living at home, why would I serve (which I would think, that would be the opposite) and I also fight with the voice in the back of my head telling me “Well they haven't done anything for you, so why would you do something for them?” and “You're not special or cool enough for those people to want your help” or even thinking “Oh they're so cool that other people are probably already helping them”... crappy right? Yah, but I've decided to not let it get to me, and at least try. If those people don't want my help, well then it's their loss and pride to deal with. So far I've enjoyed being able to serve my friends and others. I hope to make this my resolution to make me more Christ centered which in turn might help me with #4.
- RISING ABOVE and BEING NICE.That's sometimes a chore for me, I'll admit it. If you annoy me I am quick to let you see you annoy me or bother me and sometimes I'm not so nice.. I want to remedy that. I had a conversation with a friend not too long ago and I brought up someone that drove me nuts and she mentioned that she could see why that person would be annoying, but what she tries to focus on why that person would be that way.. maybe they're insecure, maybe they just want to fit in, that just because of some one's personality I shouldn't not want to be their friend. I took that with a grain of salt, this friend of mine, she is just so wise.... I've tried to have conversations with this said person, though sometimes talking to them is like nails on a chalk board.. I am honestly trying! I'm finding out that they mean well, and are just trying to be nice.
I also have had an issue with someone who I would think would have had the most sympathy for me, but instead has cut me down numerous times in front of people and also on Facebook. I try to so hard to shake those things off my back, but as a 27 yr old unmarried “mormon” girl with no kids, no prestigious college degree or mission under my belt.. it's really hard. BUT I've decided to rise above that, try and see why they say these things and enjoy this persons company.
Also, the past few months I have hated someone I have never met, why? I have no idea.. just her existence bothers me.. this was until the third person in the equation explained to me how troubled this person was, then I felt bad for her and how I had been acting. That night I felt prompted to pray for her, I did and I have never felt so much peace praying for someone I disliked before. I knew then I really needed to try to rise above things and try to accept people. So my new years resolution is to give everyone a fair chance again, let myself forgive and forget and also try to see the good in everyone.
So here are my “resolutions”... Let's see how well I do.. I mean I better do all of them since the world is ending this year..
Wait!! In that case I'm eating junk and spending all my money on useless stuff!!!

At last....
SO I have been meaning to blog about my best friend's wedding for a long long time, needless to say my time has been occupied.
During all the chaos of helping Erin ensure her big day would be a "great success" I was able to get to know her friend Mandy, who was my partner in crime in the Bridal Party. She's a hoot! Everything is naughty or nasty and I love it.
The day before the wedding Erin was a nice Bridal Beauty and treated us all to mani/pedi's where we enjoyed apple cider (they had champagne), and more smorgasbord.
Next we headed over to the rehearsal dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, which was fun to see all of Erin's family that I hadn't seen in a few years. Dinner also provided Erin and I time to do what we do best, take funky pictures.
After one last sleep mostly due to our carb induced coma, it was the BIG DAY! We began our day getting our hair did, and of course more fun pictures...
Then it was onto the venue, which was fantastically decorated!! After a few finishing touches, we headed down to the dungeon or the catacombs or the basement to get ready..
So without further adieu.....
It all began one wintery or maybe it was fall... or whatever season it was, I think it was fall.. anyway my best friend Erin had called me from Boise (a town she had just moved to for a job not even six months prior to begin a career) to tell me that she had met someone. She had noticed him at work and thought he was handsome, he was a little older so she wasn't sure if he would notice her, but she liked him. So needless to say, soon they were dating and years later they were engaged and now they were finally sealing the deal.
(ca. Sept 2010 after the proposal at a Mariners game)
So, I had traveled to Boise a week prior to the wedding for the Bachelorette party which was my project being the Maid of Honor. I had never driven a long distance like that by myself so it was kind of scary, but now I think it was awesome. I could listen to whatever I wanted, I could sing as loud as I wanted, and the only time I stopped was to use the potty (which was often, I pee a lot).
Once in Idaho, we traveled to McCall and stayed in an awesome cabin with 10 girls: playing games, watching movies, learning sorority drinking techniques with boxed wine. I am still in awe of the shenanigans college girls (and twenty something women) will do to have fun. We traveled into town with our homemade tu tu's, t-shirts and for Erin, her pimp cup. We danced the night away with the locals, which was a mix of backwoods hill billies and college frat boy tools and being one of the only sober ones in the group it was an interesting site to see.
The week that followed included not a few trips to Michael's and the Hobby Lobby, but multiple trips, and by multiple I mean sometimes more than once a day. There were plenty of crafts and projects to keep us busy prepping for Erin's big day: programs, favors, kids goodie bags, decor, the guest book (ok I did that) and we even had time to pimp out our wedding shoes. Don't be jealous, ok or do.
During all the chaos of helping Erin ensure her big day would be a "great success" I was able to get to know her friend Mandy, who was my partner in crime in the Bridal Party. She's a hoot! Everything is naughty or nasty and I love it.

Then it was onto the venue, which was fantastically decorated!! After a few finishing touches, we headed down to the dungeon or the catacombs or the basement to get ready.. 
Once we were ready, it was show time. The guests were seated, Erin was a Bridal Beauty and it was time to walk down the aisle.. (That is until Tom (my escort, Best Man) tripped on the aisle runner candles and may or may not have dropped a few choices words.. )
The ceremony went off without a hitch, Jim and Erin had never looked so happy.
I was so happy to be able to stand next to Erin and see her gaze into her husbands eyes with so much love (ok that sentence is pretty pukey). Their ceremony was performed by her brother Steve and her parents provided a reading/musical number, Jim's sister and brother-in-law read a scripture passage and just like that they were officially Mr. and Mrs. Hollinger!!
The festivities went well into the night with dinner and speeches,cake cutting and dancing, LOTS of dancing...
Overall the wedding was beautiful, the food was great, my bestie was gorgeous, Jim was happy and the night was absolutely wonderful.
(My favorite part of the wedding? When Erin and I went outside after the party and lit all of the sparklers that were meant for her and Jim's exit.. What else is a best friend for?)
The rest of the trip consisted of an after wedding brunch, gift opening and a long long drive home... Where I was so busy singing in the car I missed my exit, but led me to this little gem.

Ungratefully Thankful
So if we are besties then you know how much I love the Wheel of Fortune. Well they sent me an email asking for a 60 second video about myself, because they're searching for contestants in the Seattle area. Well in true Sarah style I worked on it all last night (it's due today). It's done. I tried to upload it and my computer wouldn't open the damn file (yes I swore.) I was/am/still going to be MAD!!!! This was way differenter than my Royals video, I mean I didn't have to drink "tea" or wear a hat. It was such a simple video and my dream, THE WHEEL OF FREAKIN' FORTUNE!!!!
I hate myself for being a natural born procrastinator. I have until 3pm this afternoon to upload it but I don't get off work until 3.. So I am so bummed and sad and upset and disappointed and heartbroken and sad, oh I already said that. Anyway, being bummed I didn't want to be thankful for anything today. Nothing, not even for the delicious root beer I drank last night or that Ebony Hos didn't jump in front of a bus (OK I am truly grateful for that). Then I come to work and the Internet is down, which means boring town USA. IT also meant having to have conversations with co workers which entailed one with someone who has the worst breath in the entire universe! Imagine someone who doesn't brush their teeth, with coffee and death... smells like dog crap. ANYWHO that just added to the morning...
Once the Internet started working again, I decided I was still ticked off about my Wheel video that I proceeded to make my anti thankful status, but then I started noticing a trend.... kids behaving badly, people in a funk, thinking it was the worst day ever, hating their cussing lives.... one right after another.... bad, bad, bad.... that just made me feel even more OK with being ungrateful and bitter. THEN that's when I saw it, on Tidy Mom a link to a random strangers blog.
As I read this post about the pain this family was feeling and also the joy they felt. I was overcome with emotion (yes I'm emotional) and also the Spirit (and I usually shy away from talking about these kinds of things).. I know God's plan, and my family even experienced something similar to this, but man have I been wrestling with it lately (I hate the thought of being without certain people, I like to think of it as people hoarding). So as I was reading this I knew what a wonderful blessing it was for this family to be able to meet their baby, spend a few days with her and know that her spirit was just too precious and perfect that her short life was all the trial she needed. So there I was at work (which I work front desk at a hotel) crying, knowing that it's OK. Knowing that God's plan is perfect in so many ways. I knew that the Wheel of Fortune, is temporally important to me, but not eternally.
SO today I am thankful. I am thankful for the lessons I'm learning, don't be a procrastinator because your computer sucks and also a little lesson in humility and perspective. I am so grateful that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and is so patient with me and my childish antics. I know he has a plan and I am thankful each day knowing where I belong and where I am going.

A few quick things...
I noticed a couple of things on my Blog stats that I thought we're interesting.....
A. When I click on the Stats tab and look at traffic sources I get this little number:
Yes that says "my gay boyfriend"... and when you click on it the title of the article is "My gay boyfriend lives in Europe".. How is this a traffic source to my blog again? (I also just noticed the third one down, people get to my blog by searching "dried up old hag")
And B. When I look at the map thingy I have to see who stalks me, this one for some reason makes me laugh....
I love when the United States views my blog. My thought is this, is the country reading it or is it more like the CIA? Duhduhduuuuhhhhhhhh.... For that I blame you, LEXI MAGNUSSON !!! Sister Wives was a bad idea.
Ok. That's it...

My life is a tangent..
This was my status on Saturday night..
"I seriously have ADD, I can not focus on this darn talk..I turned Pandora to an appropriate station, but that turned into watching Church related videos on Youtube which somehow turned into trying to find the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack on Amazon, which then turned into quoting Forrest Gump with my Brother and now I'm updating this ridiculous status and thinking of a blog post about Golden Tickets, man it's been a long time since I've watched Willy Wonka........mmmm chocolate.. I need chocolate to focus.. wait what??!!"
My brain seriously moves so quick and there are so many things flying through my head I'm shocked I still remember who I am.. The reason I'm writing this post is because there are a couple of things that have been flying through that seem to circulate... I figured maybe I should write them down that way I remember them, so I can focus on something more important like planning my best friends bachelorette party (which seems to entail so much in my mind), and writing my Maid of Honor speech, and planning a driving route to Boise, and what I want to get them for a wedding gift, and if I want to make something for them, and worrying about money, and stressing about paying everyone I owe a debt to, and how much I want to go see my Grandma in CA, or my friends in AZ, and I also want to focus my brain on my Halloween costume (which is going to blow your mind), and how excited I am for the new season of the Walking Dead, which reminds me I need to watch last weeks Modern Family....
BUT..... before I can continue to think of all of thee above.. let's talk about two things...
A. My Bucket List: I was creating my profile on Mormon.org and writing about myself made me think of things I would like to do in my life (I hate to say before I die, but let's face it I've only got like 65 more years to do all of this!!) So I'd like to do the following:
and...
B. The Man I want to Marry: I always hear girls talk about their dream dude, 6'2', dark hair, dreamy eyes, rich...... through the years I've decided that I'm not looking for Colin Farrell, but someone who doesn't:

- Milk a cow
- Acquire Pet Jellyfish
- Catch fire flies
- Go Glamping
- Be on the Wheel of Fortune (Price is Right, Jeopardy or Family Fued)
- Sing a solo in Church (but I'd settle for a duet)
- See a tornado in real life ( I used to want to be a storm chaser, and that was even before the movie "Twister")
- Participate in a 5k
- Run (walk) in the Disneyland half Marathon
- Stay in a Disneyland Hotel Suite
- Be a member of Club 33
- Learn how to hard style
- Meet a British Royal
- Go Ziplining
- Swim with Dolphins
- Hold an owl (This is huge I'm deathly afraid of birds and I even like owls)
- Do a zombie walk (you know where you dress up and walk through the city)
- Own my own design business (I think would require me finishing school)
- Indoor sky dive (I'm too much of a weenie to actually do it)
- Learn how to snowboard and wake board
- NOT be afraid of the diving board
- Ride in a helicopter
- Go to a real observatory and stare at stars, planets and maybe aliens
- Attend a live session at the Salt Lake Temple
- Visit the Sacred grove
- Travel to the countries my ancestors came from (Denmark, Norway,
Ireland, England, and Germany.. there actually more I'm sure, but they weren't really that important) - Learn how to sail (even if it's What About Bob style)
- Punch a shark square in the face Chuck Norris style
- Get married and be a Mom (that would involve dating someone long enough to like them and marry them..)
- Travel to the beaches of Normandy (I love WWII and D Day was such a huge moment)
and...
B. The Man I want to Marry: I always hear girls talk about their dream dude, 6'2', dark hair, dreamy eyes, rich...... through the years I've decided that I'm not looking for Colin Farrell, but someone who doesn't:
- Treat me like I'm stupid: even if I don't have the right answer there are ways to tell me I'm wrong without making it sound like I am (it's all about tone)
- Tell me: not to do something or say something.. screw you dude this is who I be.
- Argue everything: I am pretty good at walking away from arguments, but boy do you know I'm plotting your murder in my head.
- Pout: The ones who use sad, depressing love songs as Facebook statuses, the one who skips work, and even will end a friendship when we're NOT meant to be... dude grow a pair and come out of the closet.. I mean trust me I know how sad it can be when things don't work.. I've been highly disappointed myself when trips go wrong, when I'm in love with the guy whining about another girl, when I've been used when it's only convenient for you.... So pouty, whiny guys, I'm not going to run back to you because you're depressed (and I rarely know any other girl who does either).
- Call me Babe or Baby
- Someone dedicated to the Gospel,
- Someone who is sooo patient, (trust me I need that)
- Someone Forgiving,
- Someone loving and wants kids,
- Someone who is willing to work hard to support a family,
- Someone who appreciates me and if they could sing they'd create some cheesy song about how awesome I am, (It would soo awesome if it were in a rap!!)
- Someone who likes to travel and sports,
- Someone who is passionate about something that makes me want to be interested in what they love,
- Someone who is good with money,
- Someone who isn't afraid to fix something in the house or change a tire...
....and if they have an accent I will just die right now... I know President Uchtdorf just said that focusing on the Golden Ticket isn't the way to go but as long as I have some ideas of what I want I won't be tempted to hang on every word some troll tells me. Is that wrong?
There, I've cleared my head.... of at least these two things..
