7 weeks!!

I think I should start a countdown here. lol. I've got 7 weeks til my whole family and I go down south to visit the big mouse. :) And by whole family...I mean my 4, my sisters 4 and my parents. so there will be 10 of us down there...for a full week...thank goodness we are all not in the same hotel room...oh I think we would all kill each other. do not get me wrong, I love my family and all, but I have been out of their house since I was 19. My routine is different than theirs. lol.

But yeah...a full family vacation. We were supposed to be celebrating my dad's retirement, but that has been pushed back a few months. But we are still going down. I havent been down to my home away from home since August of 2006, and that was just Kyle and I. The boys haven't been down there since 2005. Sooooo the big bonus here is that Alex is now tall enough to ride most of the rides so we all get to ride the rides, none of this one parent wait with the smaller one while the other parent gets to ride with the oldest, then you swap and the other gets to wait while the one who waited the first round rides...while the oldest gets to ride twice...in a row...with out even having to wait...its a good idea...but I am strange and I like to do things all together as a family. (plus riding buzz ight-ear 5 times in a row while waiting for daddy and the oldest to go on space mountain just got borring)

So yeah...come fathers day we will be down in the happiest place on earth...let the count down begin baby!!

Its a fault...

I will always no matter what look for the best in people. Even if the evidence proves that you are a completely and fully at fault I will always, NO matter what, try to see the best in you.

It is one of the biggest faults I have. Sometimes it will screw me over. But sometimes it makes me feel good because I know that I am that silver lining is someones life. That one person, no matter how or what you do to screw your life up, that will always stay true to you and our friendship. Unless you somehow screw me over personally I will have no judgements on you.

People live life...sometimes they dont play the game right and get in a mess of trouble. And when you already know personally that you screwed up you really dont want people to point that out to you every step of the way. Sometimes you just need someone to see the best of you. And most of the time that person is me. And maybe that is what my meaning is in life to some people. *shrug*

I so suck.

It was my dear friends big birthday bash over the weekend. It was a blast...from what I remember. A while ago Monique told me that it was my "best friend" duty to get completely drunk with her on her birthday. (and yet I told myself I wasnt going to drink that much....ahahahaha...yea that didnt go over well) I was also told that I was in charge of taking pictures. I think I got uhmmmm....maybe 8 pictures from that night. But some how some way thru out the night I lost the batteries to my actual camera soooooo....it wasnt completely my fault that I didnt get all of the pictures I wanted to get. I just couldnt because cameras do not work with out the batteries. Ahh well...at least we have drunken memories.

I do think I am done drinking for a LOOOOONG while tho. Well...just no more shots for me. I am sticking to beer for awhile now and I need to learn how to sip the beer too.

a realization

I suffer from Nomophila. Meaning the fear of being mobile-less. Seriously....google it. It is an actual real fear.

In my normal day I wake up, check my cell to see if I have any missed phone calls, texts or whatever. (most of the time I dont have either, but I have to check it!) Then while at work I have to have my phone with me, at all times. It sits next to me. I check it constantly to see if there are any new text messages or anything. (sometimes I do...lately I havent but that is becuase the main person who texts me is not availble at the moment...*sigh*) Then at home while doing things around the house I have it on vibrate and have it shoved into my bra...just in case. This whole process repeats itself each and every day.

However there is a rare chance where I will forget my cell phone, and more times than I would like to admit too I have actually turned around and gone back home to get my phone so I could have it with me.

I seriously do remember the time when we didn't have cell phones. I remember when people were "cool" when they had pagers and you were freakin rich when you had a cell phone the size of a small dog. lol.

So yeah...I realized today that they do have a name for my fear. yay. thanks google!!

and so it begins....

My friends and I are turning 30 this year. *gasp* *cry*

We all knew it would happen. We all knew it was on the horizon. But now that a core person of my group is actually going to be turning 30 and it is here as in tomorrow here....I am realizing that I am that much closer to 30 myself!

The year of 30 starts tomorrow when my dear bff Monique turns 30. And it will end in November when Mrs F, hits her big 3-0. (with me in September) So lets raise those martini glasses high and keep em full...because girls...we are going to be partying hard this year! (or just heavily drinking together because we are just in complete denial of our age....your choice...lol)

why didnt I watch this show sooner?? why?

what show is that you ask?

Well that show is (well was) Firefly. *sigh* Why oh why did I not watch this sooner? Why oh why was I so against watching it in the first place?? (dont hurt me Michael...because I was!)

Backstory...it was birthday time 2005 in my house and we were off at Costco trying to get stuff together for our little shindig that night at the house and Kyle so slyly put it in the cart, (that and world of warcraft...but that's another blog...for another time) and I was like OOOOOOH no...put it back now mister! You can only get ONE thing...that or the game...he chose the game (again that's for a later blog) But he pouted about not being able to get the DVD set the whole way home, that afternoon, la la la...that was until his friend Michael showed up bearing gifts....(yaaay gifts) he had bought Kyle the Firefly dvd's and me Freaks and Geeks (I should watch that again actually...good show!) So Kyle was all excited about getting series that he started watching it the next day. And every night, for the next 4 days or so while I layed in bed trying to sleep telling him to turn that crap off...I need to get up early!! I was SO not a fan of firefly....at that time it looked lame. He went on to also watch the movie and tell me how good it was and what it was I was missing out on. While in my mind he was starting to sound like the teacher from peanuts....whaaa waaaa waaa....blaaaah blaah blaah.

OK fast forward to uhmmm early 2006, it was a saturday night, I was home (shocking I know!) and I had nothing else to do, nothing was on TV, I was bored...so I was like ahhhh screw it...I popped in the first disk of Firefly and from that moment I was HOOKED....I watched the whole first disk that night. I was HOOOOOOOKED. I watched the whole series in like the span of 5 nights. This show rocked. The cast worked so well together. They meshed well. And they had really good lines that one could quote. (I love good quotes!) Then I watched the movie. OH WOW. I remember when I finished watching the movie I was sitting there WIDE eyed going WOW! Did they really just do that? Did I see that?? All the characters I had grown to love in a short lived series...WOW. I actually cried. *sniff*

So...here we are 2 years later, and I will still find myself putting in the DVD's at 11am on a saturday when I am not doing much besides laundry and before I know it, it is 5:30pm and the family is yelling at me because they are hungry. It seriously sucks me in each and every time.

It also leaves me asking this question, why must they yank off good tv shows?? They didn't even give this one a chance!! Freakin lame people who think they know "GOOD" tv! Looosers!! yeeesh!

my first big paycheck

and what did I buy?? why a brand new pair of Doc martins thats what!!! (hey it was still the 90's and they were cool then!!) And I finally had a HUGE paycheck rollin in, I still lived at home and figured I earned them.

Ya see I got this job here (where I still to this very day work...in the same building...not far from where I first worked) and I was just barely 19, I had spent the last 2 years working for McDonalds barely bringing in $5 an hour (and that was barely over minimum wage!) when opportunity knocked....and knocked HARD! My dad (he works here too...) causually asked someone how his daughter would go about getting a job here, she said she'd get back to him, and she did, she said have your daughter go down tomorrow, sign the paper work and she starts monday. *blink* Ahhh whaaa?? WOW! A real job. Well somewhat. I started out working 4 hours a night, only bringing in $9.50 an hour. But ya know what...that was hell of a lot more than what McDs was bringin in for me. But since I was working nights I figured I'd still work mornings at McDs. That way I had a paycheck still every other week. Ya see...this here place would only pay monthly because I was working for the "school" and they got paid on the 1st. I was (and still am) horrible with saving money so I needed the extra to get me by. So when that first paycheck came in, in all of its glory of $600 I felt rich!! I felt loaded!! So what did I do?? I grabbed my then boyfriend and we went shopping. New doc martins, a new stero for my car and a day trip to San Francisco...and *poof* there went that money. (see told you bad with saving money)
However my then boss liked my work so much that she offered me to go full time instead of part time so I then quit McDs (rudely too...the boss was a bitch, she deserved it!...They were cutting my hours for NO reason!!) and started working happily (...wait it wasnt happily til 2004 when I came down here...la la la) full time.

Maybe sometime soon I will write about the fun things my coworkers and I do....there's lots.

Socks

I love socks!! OMG do I love socks. And none of those plain white socks either. Every freakin holiday I like to get a new pair, however if I see a really cute pair that has nothing to do with a holiday but if it has like martini glasses on it, or something else that sparks my interest I buy em. It is like i am obsessed. I walk by them and go "ooooh lookeeeeeee!!" and somehow they will end up in the basket. I have no control. I have christmas socks, valentines day socks, easter socks, halloween socks. And if I buy a pair early...and end up back at like target before the holiday hits...I will buy more because they will have new ones out!

What is really bad is now I feel borring when I wear plain white ones. I mean its not like anyone really sees the funky socks because I normally wear boots, but it makes me fell all funky cool when I have them on. Like it gives me an extra spring in my step or something.

And if you are wondering....today I have on funky socks that have hearts all over em. (what! hearts never go out of style....sheeesh!)

the basics

lets start with the basics of me,

My name is Sarah, I live in Sacramento, CA. I'm married (9 years this August), and I am a proud mommy of two boys who keep me on my toes at all times. I also work full time as a go-for for a big hospital in Sac. And by go-for I mean I do a little of this and a little of that for two supervisiors. (I like to think they are secretly fighting over me...) I have been working here since I was 19, it was my first adult job that brought in that huge pay check, and by the looks of it I will probably retire here. Its all good tho.

What do I want to get out of this blog....well that's simple. When something sparks my random mind I want somewhere to put it down. And I am going to be honest with ya here...it happens alot. So lets hope I keep up with it. :) I will try to get another one posted later today. Maybe I will post about my actual first job....or what I blew my money on with my very first BIG paycheck...or how I secretly enjoy watching Tila Tequila...or how....
