Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Visit My Blog

10) Because I'm awesome and will offer funny stories to amuse you about my life

9) Because I tell stories about bug bites. This Sunday I noticed multiple bites on my left shin. I don't recall how I got these bites, so last night I washed all my sheets and blankets in hopes to rid my apartment of anything that might bite me unexpectedly and leave red sores.

8) I will have pictures of newly decorated areas in my apartment

7) I give rice krispie recipies:

6 cups rice krispies

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup corn syrup (Kero light)

1 cup white sugar

Frosting: 6 oz. chocolate chips & 6 oz. butterscotch chips melted together

Instructions: Bring sugar and corn syrup to a low boil, mix in peanut butter. Add rice krispies while continuously stirring because it can harden easily. (This may be a two person job--one adds rice krispies, one stirs). Add mixture to a buttered 8 1/2 by 11 pan. Pat down gently (with buttered fingers). Cool and add chocolate frosting when cooled.

6) If you send me your address, you may get a snail mail greeting.

5) I'm from Wisconsin and that's funny enough.

4) I live in IL and that's even funnier.

3) I enjoy all shades of green.

2) I will share most of my joys with you (and hopefully no sorrows).

1) I'm not Sarah Palin!

A Visitor!

Hello readers,

This was my final weekend of summer. Yes, I know only the end of July, but I start duty next week and some of our student staff return next Sunday. The month of August will be crazy busy filled with key packaging, presentations about policies and procedures, spending quality bonding time with my staff of nine students, and finally moving everyone back to campus. Say some prayers so I make it to September!

My college friend, Laura, came for a visit. On Friday we made dinner and reconnected with Megan, another friend from college who's back in the area. Saturday was filled with pedis, shopping, walking, and making food for Game Night. We laughed, we cried, we had a pillow fight in our underwear...need less to say, it was a good time! (I won the pillow fight btw). It's so nice to have friends around.

She left this morning and I remained lazy for most of the afternoon.

"The Bachelorette" Finale tomorrow...who's it gonna be?

SYTYCD, Sara?

SYTYCD! 100th episode!

I wish I could zap myself into my old dancing years. I miss it and wish I could have been more dedicated. I remember the feeling of performing and get a little hit of jealousy watching others display such amazing talents.

Let me take you back to second grade:

Grades Kindergarten through 4th grade did a little show called "Going Buggy," an easy-going children's musical about saving bugs. I was a fire fly, but not just any fire fly. A fire fly with a speaking part, I even remember my line: "When people want light in order to see they call upon the power of electricity. People use poles, wires, and plugs. We do it simply we're electricity bugs." I was truly amazing. Thus began my love for the stage. Only years later did I realize that I would always be a member of the "chorus," but in my mind I still saw my name in lights.

Ho hum, a girl can dream right?

For the record, I do think I can dance and thanks for asking.

Sara Speaks

After years of silence, I finally speak: Sara Speak.

And here I am in the blog world...blogging. Will I really use this thing? Perhaps. However, I think this blog will give to you, the reader, whatever I offer. Random facts, minor rants, activities of the day. Hopefully a little adventure we'll survive together. Right?

That's all for now. Stay tuned for new posts!
