This is how I feel today…
That’s all you need to know.
P.S. I got bangs, by the way.

Sad, Sorry Little Sarah
I have a case of nobody-likes-me-guess-I’ll-eat-some-worms tonight. It’s not true. Plenty of people like me, but I’m feeling particularly best friendless right now. It sucks. I’ve made some efforts to meet new people in the last month or so: at the gym, at church, at a book club. But making friends is so hard.

I am Officially a Mac! W00t!
Omigosh! This week has been insane! Of course, I’m playing catch-up at work from being out ten days (OK, who are we kidding, it’s taken maybe two collective hours to get up to speed).
No, the biggest distraction of the week is my new MacBook! I am finally in the club! So I’ve been playing with that all week, and pretty much, blogging has gone out the window. My Gateway laptop started having problems again last week (I’ve had problems with it ever since I bought it in 2002), and Chris and I started checking out used Macs on eBay. We sent an email to some of our friends to see if they knew of anyone aching to get rid of a used Mac laptop, and one of our friends bit! Turns out, she compulsively bought this computer last week, felt like she could’ve put the money to better use, and offered it to us at a reduced rate. And the money we paid is going to a good cause, not just our friend’s pocketbook. Everyone wins! God is so frickin’ good!
More later, I promise! I have some sweet Independence Day weekend photos to share (once I figure out this iPhoto thing).

Photos from Father’s Day Cookout
OK. I’m a total slacker, but I’ve finally gotten around to posting pictures from our traipse up to Clinton to hang out with my family. Sadly, we didn’t take too many pictures of my family; instead, Chris got all creative taking advantage of my brother’s photogenic horses and dog.

Strange Things
Strange things are happening to me. In the last few weeks, the amount of food I am able to eat at dinner has significantly shrunk. Last night, for instance, I ate my orange roughy filet but hardly any of my rice. I get stuffed quicker than before. It’s weird. But then I had to have a bowl of Kix last night before bed cuz I was hungry again. Maybe I’m finally learning portion control.
And I was getting dressed at the gym last night and for some reason started studying my legs. While doing so, I noticed that I have a lot of spider veins going on. I’m prone to them because my mom has them, but they’re crawling all over my legs—even my ankles! And they look bad with my uber-pale skin. Yuck!
And I’ve had, what, two excellent hair weeks in a row? I think I’ve finally mastered the art of hair straightening.
And I’m being weirdly productive this week. I don’t know what’s getting into me. Maybe it’s the protein shakes I’ve been eating for breakfast. Who knows.

Crystal Skulls, Corneal Abrasions, and Whole Lotta Jack Squat: How We Spent Our Memorial Day Weekend
Well, we had quite the Memorial Day weekend. Would you like to read all the gory details?
Friday
The Awesome Movie Fun Club had a field trip scheduled to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls Friday night, so I spent the entire day in town running errands in my fun little Chevy Cobalt and working on miscellaneous tasks at Panera. Chris picked up tickets for our crew on his lunch break, and the theater peeps told us to be in line for the 7:05 movie by 6ish. Since we were supposed to meet for dinner at 5:30, we canceled official dinner plans and told everyone to get dinner on their own. I liked the movie, but Chris didn’t. You may or may not get an official review later this week.

Blazer Got a Boo-Boo: How Sarah Wrecked Her Car
Today’s story starts with hummus. Last Friday, I went to a party where hummus was served, and it gave me a hankering for my own, so I purchased some yummy tomato basil hummus on Tuesday during my weekly run to the grocery store.
On Wednesday morning, I decided that the lunch I packed for the day was insufficient and that the hummus sitting in my refrigerator would make a much better lunch, so I drove home—a ten-minute drive—and retrieved my tortilla chips and hummus. And I drove back to work.
The highway between Nixa where I live and Ozark where I work is only two lanes wide, and when get into Ozark, the speed limit lowers from 55 mph to 45 mph. Just after the 45 mph sign, there’s an intersection with a flashing yellow light.
This was the scene of my accident.

Sarah vs. Monday
Inspired by last week’s Katy vs. Wednesday . Monday was a battle of the wills.
* Round 1 (7:05 AM). Sarah wakes up early on her own. Decides to take a shower with her free time. Hair straightens to perfection. Sarah wins.
Sarah-1; Monday-0
* Round 2 (8:10 AM). Sarah is out the door five minutes ahead of schedule (advantage Sarah) but loses time to pansy drivers who won’t turn left on a solid green light (advantage Monday). Sits through two stoplight cycles.

Impromptu Date Yields Impromptu Reviews of Downtown Springfield’s Library Branch and Coffee Ethic
Chris and I had a date last night! I can’t remember the last time we had a real, live date on the spur of the moment. Before starting Financial Peace , we went out every week, but since we’ve tightened our purse strings, the dates have been fewer and farther between.
But I had been in a funk all week—I still don’t its source—so we decided to go downtown. No, not downtown Nixa. Downtown Springfield !

Hooray! Jesus Gives Sarah Strength!
Today is a praise-Jesus day, and this week is a praise-Jesus week! Do you ever look at your to-do list and wonder how you’ll ever muster the energy and desire to accomplish just one item? The last few weeks have been like that for me; I don’t really know why, but I have a hankering that I wasn’t leaning solely on Jesus for my strength.
