Home Sweet Sarah

You’ve noticed it.

I’ve noticed it.

We should talk about it, right?

Okay, I’ll go first.

I’ll admit it. I’m a terrible blogger. Time and time again, I have promised to blog more consistently and time and time again, I have failed.

In all honestly, though, there hasn’t been much to report. In between going out of town, going to the gynecologist, and going out of town again, there hasn’t been a lot happening here. Oh, except that I was sick last week, which was fantastic.

In lieu of an actual update, just so you know I’m still alive and ticking, here are a few random tidbits for you:

– I bought three new pairs of sunglasses today. Two for myself and one for Chris. I might return or exchange one of my pairs, though. They’re super-cute, but not quite dark enough.

– I went to the dentist today. They were BLARING a Seal album, which was annoying at first, because I was trying to watch Oprah. However, by the time I left, I was reminded of how much I love Seal and decided I need to buy that album and stat. Which album is it, though? I haven’t a clue…

– I got an iPhone! I was in DESPERATE need of a new phone and was lucky enough to score a gift card for an iPhone at one of my [many] work events recently. I was the teensiest bit bummed because I was really hoping to get out of my AT&T contract, but, umm, hello! Free iPhone! I’m still trying to figure the thing out and I can’t text worth a damn on it (which you’ve witnessed first hand if you’ve received a text from me recently), but it’s shiny and pretty and cost me nothing, so who cares!

– Chris and I just finished watching Changeling, a 142-minute long movie, and I didn’t fall asleep! Not even once! Funny sidenote: Chris thought Changeling was a movie about aliens and laser gun fights. This makes me laugh…Like I would ever put a movie about aliens on our NetFlix queue.

– I want to hate Spencer and Heidi, but I. Just. Can’t. Do it.

Well, Internet, hopefully this will tide you over until I can get my act together and post something real. Until then…

Last weekend, I was out of town for work. Right now, I am out of town for work. Between these two trips, I was able to squeeze in a whole hour for myself yesterday. What sort of wacky shenanigans did I get into, you ask? Why, I did what any lady looking for a good time would do: I went to the gynecologist!

Like most women, I presume, I dread that yearly appointment. There’s absolutely nothing fun about it. At least when you go to the dentist, you leave with clean teeth, a new toothbrush, and if you’re lucky, mouthwash or floss or toothpaste!

At the gyn, though? Nothing! Except finding out what your true weight is…

Yesterday, though, I was pleasantly surprised. You see, they had cloth robes to wear. None of those backwards paper vests with the matching paper sheet. Oh, no! Real, cotton, soft robes! I was shocked! So shocked I discussed my shocked-ness with the nurse practitioner. And then I texted my mom about it (her doctor still has the paper shit.)

So, even though I may be out of town AGAIN, and even though I had to spend my one free hour sitting half naked in a cold room getting things jammed up you-know-where, at least I got to do it in the dignity of a paisley-printed cotton robe.

Weeks and weeks and weeks ago, back when I was actually – no, it couldn’t be! – blogging on this blog, I received a lovely gift from my friend Kim.

Of course, it’s been, as I mentioned, weeks and weeks and weeks and I’ve since finished this book and it is currently en route to my aunt for her reading enjoyment.

Regardless, a giant thank you to Kim is in order for hooking me up with a signed copy of dooce’s book. P.S. I knew you were lying when I asked you if you were going to attend her book signing in New York and you said no. Lies all lies!

When I see someone using their speakerphone to talk on their cell phone while driving. It’s called HANDS FREE. What’s the difference between holding your phone to your ear and holding it to your mouth? About three inches, that’s what.
