Sarah’s Creative Journey

So let's see.. first two pictures are from Boonshoft Museum of Discovery-awesome? I think so. The next two are pictures of my house that I was busy painting on and off for about ...4 weeks!  Yeah, but it is done now, and blinds are up, and it looks really nice. The fifth one is the smallest jigsaw puzzle in the world I guess. Built it in about 1 hour and 15 minutes (though there were two pieces missing.. oops) You can also see the small pink tweezers it came with. Those definitely helped.  And the last one finally is one of the pictures I took of the moon. It was really bright that night, and I was able to kinda work with the lighting and such a lot, so that was fun. 

So I feel like I haven't done much of anything for a long time. But in fact, I have been getting farther along with many things, but too slowly for me to really realize it until after I'm done.  I have crossed about 5 things off my summer list, and I feel much better. Haha! It's crazy what just the feeling of accomplishment can do for you. Though I also still have a list of things I need to do and a list of things I want to do. Never ending it is...  But hey, I'll be off work for a couple of weeks in about 3 days, and life at school will be starting again. So once I can get wifi and settle down some, there will hopefully be more blog posts to read and pictures to see of everything that has been going on.  Right now, I'm hoping to just give you some words of encouragement/happiness, or at least good quotes before I head to bed... We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious.....And curiosity keeps lead...

So I'm very lacking on updating. Trust me, things have been busy. And when I finally realized that we start school again in about 3 weeks, I realized how much I still haven't done!! Though painting the house has been more than a side detail the past two weekends, so it's been occupying me. But when it's finished I'll put pictures up on facebook.  Anyway... I've started on some monologue ideas, and then I realized that they're supposed to be about gender issues.. so here are the ones I started with just to get ideas going. ..hah! Feel free to take any ideas and run with them for anything else! These are just for fun reading and thinking if you would like to do so... At least one point in our lives, we all wish that we could be cloned to help deal with everything that goes on in our crazy lives.  Or like Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes), just want to a clone (or many clones) to go to school and do our chores for us.  Shopping seems to becoming more of a h...

So you may be wondering about my latest adventure...   Well, it was a very interesting one indeed. Painting the body is as easy as it sounds! I even looked up precautions of what to do before painting yourself.  ...But that was the easy part. I was prepared for everything except the cleaning up stage.  I had never really had much problem with acrylic paint before, besides that little stubborn bit that never leaves the sides of your fingernails.  But apparently it is somewhat difficult to clean off, especially the more hair you have. As I have now learned, it is not all fun and games when it comes down to removing the paint from your skin. So take heed and learn! And gosh darn, do some more research before doing it! hah!  (Hence the link...that is only the beginning of the other story). But we are all good and clean now, one with maybe a few memory pain scars. Either way it was all good and fun, and we were able to get some pictures with a few random...

Some fun music to listen to while chilling on the computer. (I swear it is NOT country either even though the beginning instrumental sounds like it).  Hopefully more fun pictures and updates to hit soon! This past weekend was busy and this coming weekend looks busy as well...  Hope you are enjoying yourselves wherever you may be and that the cloudy days bring lots of good reading. 

So finally giving you some awesome quotes from an awesome webcomic! (They are from older ones, haven't updated too much... oops. But I hope you enjoy them all the same, or at least get addicted to the comic yourself!)   * Quick, placate the other patrons with your rosy cookie gases!-#73 * I just imagined you with a white-trash ‘stache and it made me very very sad. -#76 * Flavors of the day: latte with bourbon-flavored syrup, fried egg mocha, shot of espresso and a punch in the mouth. -#82 * Vodkoffee! latte of DOOM -#101 * “In Soviet Russia, cake mixes you!” -#145 * Damn, either my lie-dar isn’t working or Dora has been replaced by her alternate universe twin, who is also a nun.   An entire alternate universe of nuns! The Nuniverse! -#230 * Our culture doesn’t get smarter, it just finds new ways of being retarded. -#239 * When talking about human experience, it all comes back around to poopin’ eventually. -#270 ...

So today at work, as I re-shelved books, I stumbled upon about 200+ Greek and Latin books.  These included dictionaries and just about anything about the language! I thought that was awesome! And those were only the books in the "linguistic" section of the library! I know we have tons more. So now I'm tempted to look through them and see how much I can read. Haha!  Also, one of the books in particular which I thought was funny is shown in the link. Yeah, that's right. So epic.
