Here and Now

So, I almost decided to give up this blog, seeing as I thought I had nothing to write about, but suddenly I'm inspired.
Awhile ago, I read a book called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff In Love.
I loved it, and it kinda helped me out. It was written by Kris and Richard Carlson. I found out Richard died. That's such a sad discovery for me. If you haven't read the book, I don't think you can understand what a great and loving person he was.
I went to the website, and that's how I found out. It was totally heartbreaking to me. Him and Kris were so in love, and I can't even imagine half the pain she went through losing him.
Of course, it made me think about my own life.
From now on, I'm going to try to live in the now. Kris talks about being a pendulum that swings back and forth. When you're in the middle, you're in the now. When you swing left, you're in your past. When you go right, you're thinking too much about the future.
I want to be able to stay in the now, and be thankful for the things I have, because they could be gone at any minute, any second.
I'm in love.
I never ever want to lose what I have.
It's too precious.

The Truth Is Always Hard To Swallow.

Hello there, blog world. What's happening?
Nothing much with me.
Today, I had to work.
2-close (which was like 9:30)
I am blogging tonight very tired.
My mom was crabby today. Apparently she's tired of giving Scott money. WELL DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON ME!
Scott has a job. I don't know why this is such a problem? Did he get fired and just not tell us or anyone?
hm. The world may never know.
But enough about that. I think I will start a segment I'd like to call...FUNNY PICTURE OF THE DAY!


There it is. YAY DAVID! YOU GO! Gotta love the one liners.

hehe!
I hope that made someone laugh.
Well, I guess since there's nothing else I can think of to write about at the moment, why don't I give you a tour of restaurant heaven...

This is the good old salad bar! Lillie is sweeping. She does't work there anymore tho. Aw I miss her.

Here is the salad station where we make the salads. Pretty cool huh? Its clean..for now.

This is the breakroom/smokehouse. This leads to the women's bathroom. Can't get any better than this, huh?
ok last one. This is Jess and Lillie. Jess is still with us.

So I hope you had as much fun with that as I did. Actually, I like talking about things that I put a lot of time into. This is one of them. I'm here a lot.
I'm glad I got the idea to share this with you. I have more pictures but I'll save those puppies for another night!
hehe!
By the way, I have two recommendations for anyone looking for things to make their life better.
(1) Dog the Bounty Hunter
(2) Farmville on FaceBook.
Two way cool things that will be sure to make your life a little better.
Cha Cha for now!

Nothing and Everything

Well hello there.
I just got back from roller blading. Bladeing? Blading.
Anyways I just got back! (Not just, I took a shower first)
I went down the bike trail for only a mile or two. It's getting hot out and I have blogging to do!
The other day when I went, I decided to get Dairy Queen...

YES! A thin mint blizzard. I felt like it was ironic that I had just come back from exercising and then I'm going to ruin all my hard work with a thin mint blizzard. Then I remembered I'm really not doing this to loose weight or anything, I just enjoy doing it and I enjoy the outside. So why NOT cool down with a DQ treat? And let me tell you...It was sooooooooo good. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you go get one. NOW. Just kidding...you can go later.
I feel kinda silly right now. I feel kind of like a crazy person talking to herself. Like is anyone going to read this? Hm. We shall see.

I came across another blog, though I didn't leave him a comment or anything...He is a 73 year old man who is blogging about running.
OMG! that is so cool. That guy is seriously my new hero. I like cool stuff like that you know?
When I am 73, I hope I can still run!!!

Now, to make things interesting, I guess I should blather on about me and my life...
hehe.
I have 1 goofy, crazy brother Scott, who is 18. He makes me laugh/annoys me ( 0ne or the other) on a day to day basis. I love the hell outta him tho.

Here he is with his girlfriend Alex.

I have a girlfriend of my own, Cali. We've been together for a year and two months. It's been a reallyam azing journey and she's taught me a lot about life and relationships in general.

Here we are. Aren't we cute? I think so. I'm excited because I'm off today and I get to spend some time with her. She's one of the most important things in my life, besides family and school and I do love her alot!!!! We are good friends, first of all and that's why I think we work so well.
ANYWAYS!
I have so much family...it's going to take several posts to introduce you to all of them. I'm sure they'll pop up before too long.

My Aunt Patsy (left) and my mom (right) when we went to Indianapolis. Don't tell my mom she's on here, I don't think she'd like it very much. Oh well. This is MY blog.
hehe.
Well, I guess I've ranted long enough about nothing and everything. I will be back soon with another all-to-interesting entry.
See you soon!

Well, I decided to start a blog....

About me, about my life. I don't think anyone will find it particularly interesting, but hey! I will, and I suppose that's all that matters! Right?
I got this idea from a movie I saw today. Julie & Julia.
I really liked it! Except I dropped my phone under the seat, and had to use Cali's phone to illuminate the floor to find it. The second time I really had to search under the seats, and I did find a discarded nacho chip and a bag of nuts. hm.
hehe. See? I told you my life isn't really that interesting.
My name is Sarah, and I just turned 20 in June. I'm going to IUN (Indiana University Northwest) to become a nurse. I'm hoping somewhere down the line to become a doctor. An endocrinologist, or a hormone doctor. Here's an interesting story: When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome. If you don't know what this is, you can click here to find out.
It's been a sturuggle since I found out I had it. The first thing I asked my doctor was if I could still have kids...because I had a really bad feeling about the subject.
The first thing I noticed was the sad look on her face.
The second thing was her telling me I could adopt. I could adopt. I knew right then this wasn't going to be easy.
For the next 3 years I went through alot of testing, because there are many many health problems that I could have had. I was very lucky. I also got the right hormones I needed, my first was in the form of a patch. An estrogen patch. I bought them for $52 every month for myself. I went through growth hormone injections, thyroid pills, estrogen pills. It was seriously one of the the hardest things I ever had to go through.
Now, the injections have stopped, however I still take my estrogen pills everyday, in the form of birth control, and a chalky thyroid one too. I made it. I feel that much stronger because of it. There is still pain sometimes, when it dawns on me every now and then that I can never ever conceive my own child. Luckly, my uterous is ok! So I can however, carry a baby. So that's my plan. If I do end up adopting a baby, I assume it's meant to be and I can give someone a home they deserve. Someone may need me, you know?
Well, I guess that's a little bit about me for today.
I'm not sure if anyone out there read this but if you did I hope you stay tuned. Cause this is my life, and welcome to it!!!!
