who needs drugs?

spicy cheez-its do it for me. ;)

This is fuzzy, but worth reading. It came with the roll of toilet paper
Emma Ruby gave us at the wedding shower her family had for us - read it and weep. :)



I still chuckle every time I read it. :) It's just so very Emma.

Kelly curled my hair that day, on my 17th birthday, and she gave me the curlers

and I wore the shirt Aunt Linda gave me for Christmas,

we had so much fun in the park, i took pictures of my sister and Ryan and Kelly, posing like models on the pavillion thing. That year Ryan gave me those earrings that Kelly had seen on his desk, and she said something about how she thought they were his, and then realized she'd just said something really funny, because a) ryan's ears aren't pierced, and b) the earrings were very dangly and girly

:)

i found this picture i took of kelly a long time ago (on my 17th birthday, we went to saratoga nad i took this in the pizza place - that was a really weird birthday, my mom ruined it, but we had fun anyway after a while) i was just looking at it, and i like it so much i wanted you all to see it. she's so pretty.

*Take This Test!*


i don't know about popular or being a people person, but i do like the mozzerella. :)

For Ally (sorry it took me so long):



ps - there's a few bucks in change in my piggy bank. ;)

Ryan made this last night on the lite-brite. I am so proud. :)

The new Moby album

is utterly delicious.

I highly recommend "We Are All Made of Stars"

also "Jam for the Ladies" and "Signs of Love"

this is as much as I have listened to so far. :)

Ryan bought me these new socks yesterday! Aren't they so cute?! :)

awwwwwwwwwww...look at the baby timnehs! aren't they so cute? awwwwwww.

(I took shots from Bobbi Brinker's webcam.)

awwww. :)

Take the What Muppet Are You? Quiz!

This is not really what I got, I just wanted to have the swedish chef on my blog. :)

i am proud to have anything in common with kermit. he's my favorite. he's just so, i don't know,

he's got soul, you know?

	You are Kermit! Though you're technically the star, you're pretty mellow and don't mind letting others share the spotlight. You are also something of a dreamer.
Take the What Muppet Are You? Quiz!

rachel,

i know - the sky in that picture is almost preternaturally blue, you know? i was lucky, my camera sucks but it sort of pulled itself together to get that color.

:)

more over at photoblog

just updated with a bunch of stuff


i just coulnd't shrink this picture any more - this tree is too pretty to be made smaller. the magnolias here are so beautiful, and they make petal carpets on the lawns underneath. there isn't one in our yard, but a few yards on our road have them, and i'm always tempted to pick a blossom when i go by. :)

19:07:45) MikeFreebern: Aha! But do you ever Drive Truck?
(19:07:45) sarahmchinchilla : I EAT FOOD! OR COOK FOOD! (I ALSO DRIVE CAR!...BUT NOT RIGHT NOW)

(15:14:09) sarahmchinchilla: you're breaking my heart, here. i want to get you a loaner puppy
(15:14:27) UncleJohnnyS: i assault dogs in the parks
(15:14:33) sarahmchinchilla: hee hee :)
(15:14:35) UncleJohnnyS: i play with them and roll around
(15:14:41) UncleJohnnyS: i'm that guy


*everybody* has been pining over one animal or another lately. what's with that?

timneh timneh timneh, where are youi?

13:38:21) sarahmchinchilla: yeah, so. my life is somewhat boring right now. i'm living up to the stereotype of boring married person. sorry. :)
(13:38:57) UncleJohnnyS: except for the stripping
(13:39:17) sarahmchinchilla: right, and the people on my corner think i'm pretty cool too

we're thinking

i should start writing formulaic romance novels to pay for school, because it seems they really aren't hard to write. i'd be so embarassed though, i'd have to write under a pseudonym. :)

hee hee. :)

i am eating pineapple coconut ice cream and wearing short shorts and a white cotton shirt

my toenails are purple painted, my fingernails scented turquoise

life is good. :)

let me just note that that is one hot nerd in that nerd image. :)

Take the Non-Offensive Test at mewing.net

interesting note:

shawn is in florida with the family. shawn's been idle for 96 hours.

ryan is right here, at the computer every evening. ryan has been idle 183 hours.

hee hee. :)

jarb's DSL died, so i can't check our email. *sniffle* i'm so spoiled about such things now. i did get emial from kelly before it died, and answered it too - so i am happy about that.

low tide is at 4ish today. maybe i'll take a walk - record temperature highs will be approached today and tomorrow.

mom and dad sent me a free haagan daaz coupon

so i got this pineapple coconut kind

and it is so sexy. :)

and i know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
my feet my thighs my lips my eyes
i'm lovin' what i see

it's like, yeah india, TESTIFY!

*giggle* :)

james - laid

this song is old. or at least, i think of it as old, i don't really know when it is from. but i remember hearing it when i was younger. and it's a bit dirtier than i ever realized

but it's a fun song. :)

"i wish i was a girl
so that you could believe me
and i could shake this static every time i try to sleep
i wish for all the world
that i could say elizabeth, you know
i'm doin' all right
these days"

ally, your blog title makes me think of this song (i wish i was a girl, counting crows)

Very cute, very pink, and very feminine. That's you.

Find your inner rubber ducky.

"A man just asked me if I wanted to join the Mile High Club - can I get an application?" - Luanne, King of the Hill

i changed one answer and got michelle branch though, so i'm a britney-michelle type situation. which is good. i'm like, an original, girl-next-door hottie. ;)

ally, i got caramilk too - i changed some answers and got "Aero". i think this is a foreign quiz. :)

You’re Britney Spears! Face it, ya got it made. You’re sexy and popular, and have tons of people craving to be you. Sure, you’ve got some enemies out there, but you’ve also got a lot of people wishing they were with you. You’re the kind of person who knows you’re hot, and you’re not afraid to go all out to prove it.

What Kind of Pop Princess Are You? Quiz by Jonah

I swear, I didn't even have to rig this test! Whoa! :)

ryan's mom wrote to me and asked if ryan's website was okay for patrick to tell his friend samantha to go see, because last time she was there it had a couple of questionable things on it. i looked at it and realized she was referring to the word "kickass", used to describe a sauce on the recipe part of the site. ryan went to change the word, and he was talking to me in IRC about what to do with it:

[09:20:09] Ryan`> Now, what can the sauce only be described as, if not "kickass"? :)
[09:20:35] Ryan`> How about "IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE"? Is that good? :D
[09:21:15] Sarah> HA HA :)
[09:21:15] Ryan`> Or "THE SHIT"? How about "DAMN DELICIOUS"?
[09:21:24] Sarah> OH MY GOD :)
[09:21:43] Sarah> JUST TAKE OUT THE LAST SENTENCE! :)
[09:22:03] Sarah> this sauce is IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE! :)

Professor Irene Pepperberg took Alex, a grey parrot who has learned to use many words and phrases in their proper context, to a veterinary hospital for a lung operation. As she turned to leave, he called out, "Come here. I love you. I'm sorry. I want to go back." He thought that he had done something wrong and was being abandoned.
[16:15:58] Sarah> AAWWW
[16:16:55] Ryan`> AWWWWW
[16:17:50] Ryan`> Was the surgery successful?
[16:18:05] Ryan`> Is he okay now?
[16:18:11] Sarah> it wasn't about his surgery, it was about the emotional needs of parrots. i think this was a while in the past.
[16:18:17] Ryan`> TELL ME I AM CONCERNED! Oh.
[16:18:27] Sarah> but dude, that totally made me want to cry.
[16:19:42] Ryan`> I know!
[16:19:45] Ryan`> Poor Alex!

so, like every day now, i get a call or a piece of mail from a credit card company because i had a credit card before in my old name at this address, which i cancelled because it sucked. i am sweet and lovely to the callers, and they don't quite know how to pressure me into letting them send me junk mail.

so i've decided, first card to get ahold of my real name gets my business. good luck, credit card companies. ;)

Which of the Disney Princesses are you?

YOUR CHILD DOES THE STEERING!

ebay, made me actually use the evil evil LOL (i feel dirty)

people are so hysterical. :)

"Complaint : Steering wheel doesnt turn wheels,4ever to ship, no time to buy another for xmas Response by passitonpatty62 - EXCUSE ME!!!! YOUR CHILD DOES THE STEERING! YOU KNEW MY COMPUTER WAS DOWN!"

so i tried to download some gordon lightfoot

and gordon lightfoot's management has managed to quite thoroughly block everything the man has ever done (i did manage a few, but)

this strikes me as odd. i'm sure gordon lightfoot is churning out the CDs for sale right now, oh yes, and all us teen to 20-something downloaders who would normally be purchasing Gord's Gold in stacks and piles are downloading him like mad.

i mean, come on folks - he's gordon lightfoot. you aren't losing much money to downloads here. :)

hey hey

today i found this - this person has baby african greys and she has a webcam and sometimes you can see them

and it is so exciting. go here and see! (they are only there during the day, so at night it's boring, except at 8pm when they get fed and you can see :))

chocolate peanut-butter-filled bunnies

rawk. (like a birdie)

and, as per request,

for nick: (LA ;))

for sophie, rachel, and i: ;)



enjoy. :)

patrick sent us a letter that came today and inside was a stick of carefree gum and a pretend check for $532. the end of the letter said "ps - have some gum". it was so cute.

thank you again, patrick. :)
