Senior...What the weird?

I will be a senior in roughly 11 hours...WEIRD! I am not nearly old enough. Maybe I am dreaming and am going to wake up tomorrow back as the 5 year old I act like...But I will eventually have to except that and so here is a list on the things I am looking forward to...

#1. MR. FELT! Oh how I missed him and his perfect notes on the chalkboard, his puns and costumes. I can't wait for AP European.

#2. The musical...So many good times are on the horizon.

#3. Yearbook. I have heard so much from Bailey about all the good times last year and I can't wait to experience it for myself! Photo staff ROCKS! Also it will give me the chance to get involved in more school activities!

#4. Football games...I am going to some...in fact MOST of them! I need to get my green skinny jeans!

#5. Ensemble...Christmas show...just straight up bonding time...Disney show...TOUR...

#6. Being the oldest at the school. Oh the power.

#7. Chilling with my awesome and fun friends.

#8. Being able to drive.

#9. The day when the sophomores and juniors have to come to school and take those dumb tests. HA!

#10. Senior sluff day...and senior prank

I am sure I will think of more later!

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

The past month I have had a regular night time routine of tucking my sister Megan into bed. Yes you may laugh at the thought of me tucking my 20 year old sister in, but it has become a summer ritual that proceeds as follows...

"Sarah I am ready for sleepy, sleepy time!"

We go to her room.

She has me fetch her phone for her and sets her morning alarm.

I close the closet so she is protected from the "monster guys" living in it.

I tuck her in.

Kiss her forehead, say "I Love You."

Turn out the light.

I was saddened by the thought that this will be the last time I will do this for a while because she is returning to college! I like being able to take care of her, repay her for all the times she tucked me in and not feel like the littlest sister for a while. I will miss her while she is gone but I know that when ever she comes back home I will be called upon for tuck in duties and that I look forward to! Love you Megs!

Is Anyone Home Up There?

Remember how I am sometimes not very smart? Oh here is a good one...(Megan please don't tell Mom and Dad this story, they will make me feel even more stupid and irresponsible) So I recently received my Drivers License (FINALLY) and I have thoroughly enjoyed driving home from work the past 3 nights. So tonight I was driving along, blasting my show tunes if you wanted to know, and suddenly a cop turns on his lights behind me. I panicked, what in the heck did I do? I know I was going the speed limit, nothing illegal that I knew of. I pulled over and tried very hard to remain calm as the Police officer approached my window, I thought I might pee my pants or even burst into tears. "Here's the thing," he said intimidatingly "I will let you go...If you turn on your lights." WOW. That was probably the dumbest thing I have ever done. Who forgets to turn on their lights when driving at night? Me apparently. So anyways I played the dumb card "Oh right... sorry!" I said in my girly blonde voice and drove away quickly (but of course going the speed limit). I feel really dumb but I decided to post this story in order to learn to laugh at myself...haha, it was pretty funny!

"Super" Thinking...

A few days ago when I got home from work my sister was watching Superman Returns on TV. While watching, I became lost in thought...Who is the best superhero? I mean surely they all have their good points...like saving the world and all that, but who is the BEST. After much thinking pondering and argument I decided on Batman and here are the reasons why...

#1. Batman has not been given any extra powers. He doesn't have "Spidey senses" or super strength, he just works with what he has and still can kick butt.

#2. Batman's outfit is by far the best. Black is sexy, plus it makes him look thin AND it helps him be stealth. Also I think his outfit makes his muscles look very big!

#3. Batman's normal self Bruce Wayne isn't a nerd like Peter Parker or Clark Kent.

#4. Batman's real name is Bruce...enough said.

#5. George Clooney and Christian Bale have both played Batman...once again enough said.

#6. The Batman theme song is MONEY!

Just a little taste into what I think about! So Random! 

Confessions of a Dumb Blonde...

You know something, I have always hated that blondes are considered to be dumb. Stereotypes always bug me but as I have thought about it I am sort of a dumb blonde myself. Not to degrade myself or act like I am dumb but sometimes I lack what  you might call common sense...

Example #1. I didn't realize that you can do zeros when you text message. I always used o's because I couldn't figure out how to use the gosh darn zeros. Apparently you just hold the zero button down...Major Newsflash.

Example #2. I ran into a wall...not just bumping into the wall...I full on ran straight at it. It really hurt and of course my sisters were there to witness, it also didn't help that there was a large metal star on  the wall that "cushioned the hit".

Example #3. One time while making hot chocolate I put the hot chocolate mix in the microwave instead of my cocoa cup. Then I discovered

 my cocoa cup on the counter and couldn't figure out where I put the hot chocolate mix.

Hehehe, so many other blonde moments! But hey we all experience them sometimes! I think it just a natural part of life to help us laugh at ourselves...Plus blondes have more fun!

"Hey Dip Face!"

Summer Accomplishments...

I have decided to celebrate the small stuff! So far this summer I have been able to do some pretty exciting things and have made some small accomplishments that I get excited about...

#1. I got my first kiss on June 8th.

#2. I saw 7 musicals on Broadway.

#3. I didn't use the airplane bathroom on the way to or on the way home from Europe.

#4. I finished Gone with the Wind, the book and movie. (Both were SPECTACULAR!)

#5. I rode my bike 30 miles (never doing that again)

#6. I jumped in a glacial lake.

#7. I rode on a train, bus, airplane, tour bus, metro, subway, rental car, boat and cruise ship in a period of two weeks.

#8. I ate pasta in Little Italy and in REAL Italy within 2 weeks of each other.

#9. I am currently working on Drivers ED, this is a big step for me. I am 1 observation and 3 drives away from getting my license.

#10. I managed to have a Diet Dr. Pepper everyday at Girls camp, even though that is pretty much illegal.

#11. I learned how to use a Tampon, which is also conquering a fear. Normally I wouldn't discuss this but I know that only girls read my blog so I feel ok about it.

#12. I have perfected my skills at the Lion House shaved ice wedding reception buffet. 

#13. I played my guitar in front of my Young Womens...it was kind of scary but way fun after a while.

#14. I have managed to actually hang out more then I did last summer...Way more.

#15. I slept outside on the trampoline with my cousins. I say I want to do this every summer but then I never do.

I know that these all sound so silly! But for me each one has been a big deal! Hopefully in these last few weeks I can accomplish even more!

The Twin-er GUYS

Here are some priceless videos of my 5 year old cousins Seth and Jack dancing and singing! Maybe I just think they are funny because I know them! Oh Ya! And their older brother Ben ripping his shirt off...Don't ask...
