Last year I recieved a gift certificate for Christmas which I misplaced. I gave it up for being thrown out several months ago and thought that I would never have the chance to use it.
Then, on the very last day it could be used, and with less than 1 hour from the time the store closed for the evening my Grandmother found it. She tracked me down and met me at the store with 30minutes until closing and I was able to use it.
God's timing is perfect. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.

I started an on-line course today
I started an on-line course today.
Project 1: Introduce yourself to the class.
Greetings! I'm Sarah, I'm 23 years old and ready to see where life will take me. I started teaching art in highschool to earn extra spending money and hopped into mural painting. I've seen things explode from there but I added a day job to the mix to ensure a steady income. My goal in taking this course is to learn how to turn my hobbies into a lucrative business.

Today?
- I need to clean my turtle cage and I'm going to a softball game this evening. I don't feel all that great but I've been wishing I could go swimming. I got off work at 4:00pm today. Not early, not late. Just about right if you ask me!!!
I went swimming with Kyle Sunday night. The water was so cold it took my breathe away. We were having a lot of fun until I chickened out after a close call with a fish. I took off for shore and Kyle was a little worried that it might have been a snake so he climbed out as well. We continued our visit on a nearby bench and while we were there I saw this Nutria (otter like rat thing.) swim by, it was pretty cool. He went one way, then came back for some supper, he ate on the far shore but he was close enough that we could hear the crunching sound as he munched his dinner. We also saw geese, ducks, and crawfish but compared to a huge swimming rat they were not even a little bit impressive.
Oh, and just for kicks:
Apparently the nutria is a member of the rodent family and is native to South America. They were introduced to the coastal areas of Texas and Louisiana as important fur bearers. However, they are known for being destructive and are viewed as detrimental. The one we saw was brown, about the size of a cat or small dog, and had round tail which was extremely long.

Thursday night I caught up with some friends and spent the evening at the fair. We went through the petting zoo, hung out at the dance, and saw the world's smallest horse. Ok, -maybe not the smallest horse in the world, but he was a miniture pony. 26inches would be my guess. :)
Friday night I went back to the fair and toured the 4-H buildings and the exhibits with Clint. (Yes, this is a small town, no there is nothing else to do!!!)
Saturday, I, ....yes, went back to the fair. However, this time I can add a new twist to the same old story because I worked at the Republican booth for a few hours. Don't forget to vote next month! Clint and I also went to the dance which was fun though I still can't dance.

The Breeze..
Dance, while it carries the butterflies of spring.
Savor, as it gently brushes your cheek on a warm summer day.
Laugh, as it throws the leaves of autumn for you to catch.
Retreat, when it shudders and sends a chill through your soul in the deep of the winter.
Dance, Savor, Laugh, Retreat and Watch as it blows.
Ponder it's path for one never knows, where it is that the wind will go.

Do you have a chip yet?
People,
We are heading for mandatory microchips faster than we know. My dog decided to go for a walk today. She picked downtown. The beauty school called the pound to have her picked up because they feared for her safety. I was out looking for her for but when I couldn't find her I decided to check the the pound. She was there. No one was around so I left a message with her name, the facts about her shot records that I thought they would need to know, and a number to contact me. I also called the city to leave a message. When I got a call back they told me that I needed to bring her shot records and $45 along.
Now, the part that really ticks me off is that they told me they were going to put a microchip in her so that they would be able to locate her home if she was ever picked up again. I told them that I did not want to have a chip injected into my dog and they told me it was mandatory. This is wrong. I do not doubt that a chip can be useful but when someone forces me to have an animal chipped without my consent I am frustrated.
In a few years they may require you to put a chip in your baby before it leaves the hospital. Do you think it is still a good idea? What about the chip that will eventually track your every move? I am frustrated.

The question...
Where do you see yourself in five years? Or more importantly, who do you want to be in five years?

The play.
The play Lindsey and Lauren acted in this summer just ended. They did a beautiful job. Lindsey played the part of Beth in 'Little women.' She had the audience in tears when she died each night. (I know because I looked around to see who else was crying each night!)
Lauren on the other hand shocked us with her fine aristocratic snobbery and flirtatious actions She was the spoiled and rich ball attendee who handled herself very elegantly as she gossiped about the March family. It was a great show, and she makes a most excellent flirt!
Mom directed the whole operation. Once again she awes me with her talant and organizational skills. Dad worked in the sound booth this summer making sure that the sound and lights of the show would go on. Grandmother did a great job heading up the team of hairstylists and makeup artists. She worked for hours on end to make it a success. I can only watch and tell you that she is amazing.
In a production that consumed so much time from the others in my family you know I was around somewhere. My contribution to the play.~ Weeks of set painting, acting as a fill in makeup artist/hair stylist, acting as the driver for Grandmother and Lauren on the many trips to and from practice, collecting odds and ends for the show, saving one turtle, and video taping a preformance!

Here it is!!!
Here is a video clip of the alligator Chad, Hickman and I were watching. Seconds before this video was taken the alligator was sitting deadly still and then he lunged after some poor creature. You catch a last little bit of the chomping motion at the first of the video. If you had been there you would have seen me jump about 3ft into the air. You can hear the guys still laughing at me in the background. -Don't let them fool you. They jumped too.
Brazosbend
I went to Brazosbend with Chad and Hickman to fish this afternoon. We didn't catch anything but I did get a few good pics! (Hehe...if you haven't noticed I love alligators!!)

Life?!.
A friend said "hey" to me today. I answered back with "Hey!"
He asked me why I was so excited. Life excites me! We live in a random world. I would rather end my sentences with "!" than "."
-If "!" is not available than "?" seems to hold more promise!

Who Is a hero?
Benjamin Franklin once said "Experience keeps a dear school. The fool will learn from no other." My heroes then are the men and woman who have gone before me and recorded what they have experienced. If I have learned even one thing from their triumphs or failures. They have saved me countless hours of struggle, heartache, and pain.

Texas Water Safari pics!
Jordan removing the splinter from his finger with a razor blade. -The splinter he got, while fixing the window in Palacios which he broke while trying to open. (Sorry Jordan...you know it happened that way!)
We spent some time driving around after 10pm in a sleepy little town trying to get a blade to cut it out. Good times. Er, it was at least cool to be the one taking the pic instead of the one with the giant splinter.
Stopping in at my parents house to say hello!
Holly and her team finishing the race in Seadrift.
