My first major purchase....and it scares the crap out of me!

So I finally broke down and bought a new(ish) car yesterday. Its a 2007 Hyandi Elantra. It's a nice car, but just that major of a purchase scares me, maybe because it's my first major purchase, I'm not sure. But I took some pictures so you all can enjoy! Also, I need help naming the car...my last car was named Rhonda. The car sales guy said I should name it Mertle or Matilda...it doesn't look like it fits either one of those names.

See...Pretty!!! It's not a very good picture of the sunroof...but it's their!







Don't know if you can see the milege but it's a little over 2,000

Remembering History and then some

So I was watching television today after church and a movie was on, so the parental unit and I sat down to watch it. The movie was United 93, about the plane that crashed in the field on 9/11, and it got me to thinking about all the history that I have lived through, and the history that my parents have lived through and especially the history that Susie has lived through. 9/11 was such a tragic day in history, and it's hard to think of it as a part of history because...hey I lived during that. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about the attacks and during the rest of the day. It was early in my senior year that 9/11occurred. I barely remember the attack on the Towers in 93', but mainly just remember hearing my parents talk about it. Since I have been born I have lived through 4 soon to be 5 presidents, including 3 impeachments, 5 prophets, many many many olympic games, OJ Simpson Trials, 9/11, rising gas prices, several floods, hurricanes, etc etc etc. Just makes me in a thoughtful mood I guess.

Ok, so here is the Sarah Life Update! I am no longer in school, I ended up dropping this semester due to the fact that I took a job at the Hospital as a Medical Clerk and the hours weren't good with school. I quit Swiss Colony but gave them plenty of notice (just in case I need them to fall back on). I'm excited about this hospital job, can you say BENIFITS!!! I don't know what I'll end up doing about school, probably try and take an online class or something. I am teaching in Primary now, the 4-5 year olds...well more like the 4-7 year olds because they don't have enough teachers so I had 8 kids in my class today and everyone else's class had 1-4 kids...YUCK! My class was soo bad last week, but I came up with some class rules that I told them I expect them to follow inside and outside of the classroom. As long as they follow the rules they get to put up a sticker for the week and after 4 stickers they get a treat. The kids like this idea and they were much more reverent this week. My class actually set a good example for the older kids, especially when they walked out of class to singing time and they all had their arms folded and they went straight to their chairs. I was extremely proud, now if I could get one of my kids to stop bringing his toys to Primary we would be just fine. Well, that's the extent of my life thus far, more to come!

The New News!

Ok boys and girls, so here is what's been going on with me. I started a new job on Aug. 5 at Swiss Colony in the call center; my job title is "payment specialist" ewwwww...awwww...I'm pretty much a bill collector and people hate me!!! YEAH FOR HATING ME!!! I took a running total of how many swear words I hear in a normal work day and I counted 37. For my job, I consider that a lot, mainly for one reason, I'm not the one calling these people harrassing them about their bill. They have to call us to make a payment! Though some lady really made my day yesterday by telling me to have a Jesus filled day (whatever that truly means.)

I also started school yesterday, YUCK...MATH!!! I pretty much sat in class and had a dumbfounded look on my face. Also, the desks that were in the classroom...NOT MEANT FOR FAT PEOPLE and they should put that on the desks. I sat down and litterally could not breathe. And yes, I know that this should tell me something (hey fatso...drop some poundage), but until that happens work with me people!!! I went up to the main desk at school and requested a fat person sized desk. It's bad enough I don't understand math, but to not be able to breath due to the fact that I am trying to squeeze into a itty bitty desk just won't do. So the people at the front desk were very friendly and got me and one other person a fat person sized desk so we could be more comfortable during the semester (now if I just understood what was on the board). Anyway people...that's my life in a nutshell...hopefully some pictures will come soon!

Oh Danny Boy

The Human Race is LAZY!!!

Hey everyone, check out this website http://health.yahoo.com/news/ap/sci_exercise_pill.html

It talks about how someone has invented this pill that is suppose to have the same affect as exercise, just without the sweat. And to this I say...GET OFF YOUR TOOSH AND GO WORK OUT!!! Granted I am a lazy individual too, but I know the successful way to lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise...not to depend on some so called "miracle pill" that will have the same effect. I don't believe that a pill has the same effect as good ol' exercise; exercise just does so much for the human body, especially if done right and is something you enjoy. Exercise creates endorphins...endorphins make you happy!!! Now go eat a cheeseburger and walk around the track a few times!!!
