If You Really Knew Me...

-I love ALL music...seriously. My ipod is a little embarrassing. When on shuffle, you could hear anything from Three Six Mafia to Disney to Aerosmith to Mozart.

-I can be shy around new people...sometimes it comes across as snobby, but I'm not! It just takes a little while for you to see the "true Sarah".

-I get bored and stare off into space when someone is talking to me and I am not interested in what they are saying. Joe gets frustrated with me and says that I need to act interested....sorry, not gonna happen. I would rather spend my time talking to someone about something I like.

-I make up songs about my dog, Hank, almost daily! Some titles include "Hank, You're a Crazy Dog", "Hank-y, You Don't Have To Put On the Red Light", "Hankie, Loves His Mummy!!". etc.

-My family and friends are the best!!

-I get VERY crabby when I am hungry or sleepy.

-I worry all the time...ALL THE TIME!! The things I worry about most are animals. My current obsession is thinking about mice that get stuck in those sticky traps. I imagine them being so scared and just dying there. I imagine people just tossing the whole thing in the trash, setting it on fire, etc. YIKES!! I am getting worked up just thinking about it. PLEASE tell me you have not committed this horrible mouse crime!! I probably need medication...

-I always cry when I watch Beaches, The Notebook and Steel Magnolias. I also cry whenever I hear the song, "Stop This Train" by John Mayer. It makes me think of my mom. She used to play it when she was sick and I would put my head in her lap and cry :(

-I am convinced that I missed my calling to be on Broadway...I'm a pretty god singer :)

-I have never had a speeding ticket!!

-I subscribe to over 21 magazines a month!!

-I believe in ghosts, angels, demons, big foot, etc. We have a little girl ghost in our attic and Joe and I have both have several experiences.

-I LOVE anything hot pink and lime green!!

-I truly believe that I was on the Titanic and died and have been reincarnated.

-I hate CHEESE!!

Top 2 Tuesday-Cities

Today the "Top 2 Tuesday" theme is cities and more specifically your favorite cities in the USA.

I am going to pick 2 places that I LOVE to visit.

1. Laguna Beach, CA

and NO, it's not because of these guys (the first season laguna Beach kids). Although the first time we went there, I kept saying things like "That's where LC and Lo got their nails done before prom", "That's LC's house!!", "That's the beach where Steven and Kristen broke up", etc.

and it's also NOT about these guys...the second season of Laguna Beach...although Taylor from Laguna Beach (she's the one leaning against Talan in the green print dress) was on our boat going from Bangkok to Phuket to Koh Phi Phi...how random right?!

Don't believe me?? Look, here she is:

and here she is ON OUR BOAT!! She is the one sitting down with blonde hair. I pretended to take a picture of Joe so I could get her. She was with a bunch of college friends.

It's NOT for ANY of those reasons...it's because it's GORGEOUS!! If money was no object we would already be living here. I would seriously pick up my life and move it out there. The weather is beautiful (and so are the people!!) It's just SOOOO nice!! Maybe one day...sigh!

2. NYC- I have been here several times and love it! I would love the chance to live there but that's a big step! We tried to live there for a summer in someone's apartment and it never worked out for one reason or another. Luckily we have friends in both NYC and Laguna so we get to visit as much as we want and stay for FREE!!

Date Night!!

I had a crazy idea this week. I thought that we needed to SPICE things us if you will so I proposed that we take turns each week to plan a date for each other. This week will be my turn and next week is his, etc. It can be something that we really want to do and want the other to do with us or we can plan a date that we think the other will enjoy. Hopefully this will get us our of our comfort zone and force us to try some new restaurants, activities, etc. I will be blogging about our date night every week. Aren't you curious to see what I have up my sleeve for this week?

Monkeys and Wolves and Bears Oh My!!

Joe and I went to the zoo on Saturday for a "day date". Since he works on the weekend nights, day dates are a normal thing for us. We are members of the zoo and it's so nice just to go for a few hours and see our favorite animals.

I love these little guys. They are cute and very curious!

This is our bird friend. We named him Seymour. We visit him every time that we come to the zoo. I SWEAR he knows who we are. He is always sitting up in his tree and when he sees us he comes down to play. It's really neat!!

Go had him going back and forth and got him all excited...look at those head feathers!

Here is Joe in the "open flight area". It's in the bird house where the birds are flying all around you. Not for people who are scared of feathered creatures!

Awww...it's my little monkey friend!!

I love the gorillas but I always feel sad for them. They are so human like. When they look at you, it feels like you are looking at another person. I wonder what they are thinking being stuck in a cage?

A flat face orangutan.....love him!!

This ostrich was crazy looking and kept giving Joe the eye.

ELEPHANTS!!!

I love the new area of the zoo. The grizzly bears were very active today. They were super playful in the water. They came right up to the wall where we were standing.

I was seriously THIS close to a bear....crazy!! He is saying "Hi!!".

The wolves were TIRED!!

Yay for a fun day at the zoo :)

It's officially FALL in our house!!

I could not resist it any longer...I had to buy my official fall scent today from BBW and of course I had to burn it...LOVE this smell. It makes my house cozy and smell yummy!!
