For Reals

I kinda want some of those toning walking shoes. For some reason this gimmick makes me believe I will get my huge ass of the couch and go walking/running/ANYTHING. I think I want the New Balance ones- Jaime got the reebok ( I just had to google "rebock" to figure out how to spell that) ones... I mean which ones do the Kardashians sponsor- of course that's the brand I'm down for!

I bought a bag of Satsuma's yesterday at HEB...real honest to Gosh Satsuma's, not just mandarin's/tangerines that I call Satsuma's. When I went to check out the crack head teenager lady asked "What are these" I said Satsuma's- she couldn't find it on her list- so she picked Texas Grapefruits...so close so so close yet so far away. PS- Texas Grapefruits were on a HUGE sale by pound- so I mean I paid like $1.00 for my Satsuma's- I should have gone back and gotten more if I was going to get them for the Texas Grapefruit SuperSale Combo Loco price.

Oh, I also want some Tom's. I know I may have said I thought they were foolish, but I'm thinking of changing my opinion. I formed this opinion when I saw them in a store for $100 and in my head thought, you aren't giving a free pair of shoes away, you are overcharging us to pay for a free pair of cheap shoes to be given away- online they are like $50, AND this may or may not be fueled by the fact that Jesse and Jessi(ca) both either just bought them or have been talking about them. I can't be not in the cool crowd.

Toning Shoes. Toms. Satsuma's. Life is good!

Beaches

Don't think I didn't watch Bette Midler "The Showgirl must go on" last night. Delicious. That bitch looks good in sparkle pants too...her voice might not be beaches quality but I mean I'm still 100% in.

P.S.

I forgot, I want to be at my wedding again, I can't stop thinking that is was the most wonderful day of my entire life and everytime I see a picture I want it all back again!

Happpppppppy NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought Peonies at Randalls on New Year's Eve!!!!!!!!!!! In December!!!! $5 for 3 stems. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! It's DECEMBER. I mean just thought I'd share this tid bit of amazing information for the new year!

I took down 90% of Christmas yesterday, my house is so plain jane sad now. It makes me sad. I REALLY really really need a slightly oversized, higher than normal round end table for my den b/w the two sitting chairs. Like now that Christmas is gone, this is a HUGE priority! Speaking of Christmas and New Years it was delightful in everyway possible. My only hang up is a constant one- my brothers lack of ability to help do ANYTHING drives my last nerve. I can't imgaine watching a whole house of people work on getting everything together and moving and ready and you can just continue to lay on the couch. Those two are going to have a hard time finding wives that put up with that like my mother does! I think it was extra magnified in my smaller house!!!

I haven't worked on my new year's resolutions yet, I think I'll skip- it's too daunting, like when someone asks me about them I want to hide in a hole. I'm just going to spend 2011 doing things that make Sarah happy and living life the best way possible! This began this morning with my ability to resist the temptation of office gossip at exactly 9:24 am.

Look how cute my best friends are! Looooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee them!

December 20th!!!!!!!!!

Again, where the F did 2010 go? Did you know the twins are about to be 9 months old? Right? RIGHT! Remember when they changed my life the second they were born...that was 9 months AGO! Sick.

Saturday morning I cleaned out my extra bedroom completely. Like every single wedding present has a home. The bed is made with new linens that are so beautiful I found myself leaning on the door jam just staring at them all weekend! The closet is cleaned out, new craft boxes and wrapping paper storage are organized, so much fun. It's so much fun living with a neat freak.

Jaime keeps calling me with wedding questions, it's so much fun. I am soooooo relieving everything again, now that Val's in the waiting plannign period where there is nothing to pick out! I can't wait until like May/June where its time to start back up again!!!!!! Tell me when I can quit my job and be a wedding planner/cook/gift wrapper extrodiare. PLEASE someone just tell me!

My parents get here on Tuesday and my brothers on Thursday, Christmas in HTOWN! No travel!!! Parties at my house! Giggy and I are in charge, gosh I love that feeling. My only problem is that John is going to St. Louis today-Friday morning :( I'm selfish, I just want him next to me at all times.

3 more gifts and I'm done. DONE DONE DONE. Yahooooooo. David is getting cash. I mean that is what you want when you are 23 right? Thought so. Also I need to find my mom and dad some Texas stuff, welcome to TEXAS basket. So it's not really 3 gifts, I think Memorial City Mall, the only mall I go to now, has a Texas store. Okay okay talking to myself.

Barnaby's Dinner with the girls tonight, then a mere 3 more days of work until the most glorious of all season's is upon me! HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPY Christmas everyone! And Hanny, even though its over, Happpy Hannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnukah!

Dead Christmas

Can anyone else not stand those blow up Christmas things in people's yards in the morning when they are collapsed and they look like dead Christmas up and down the street. Uhhhh. PLEASE please let me have kids that aren't into those...or multi-color christmas lights, or one color on the house and one color blinking in a different size thrown haphazardly on only one bush in the front yard. PLLLLLLLLEASE let them be 100% design savy all their lives. Please please please.

I have like 3 Christmas presents bought. I better get a move on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, did I tell you, its so much fun to have nothing to do in the evenings. SO MUCH FUN.

CHRISTMMMMMMMMAS

The tree is decorated! The mantle is decorated!!! The lights are up! I have all my Christmas CD's on rotate in the car including my new GLEE Christmas! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOve it. Plus its COLD. COLD as I like it, which I know really isn't that cold, but its enough for me. Tights and boots and scarves to work EVERY SINGLE DAY! I hope I don't get kicked out for being too cool and not enough Biiiznaz.

Remember when candles in your fireplace was really cool? Where do we buy those, I want them now! Kirklands?

Also, I got my wedding pictuers today, I can't stand how much I loooooooooove them. I havne't even really looked at them but I LOOOOOOOVE them. Sandra O'Claire OH HOW I LOVE YOU!
