Hot patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock n' roll!

Congrats to Alpha Chi and AEPi on 2nd place at Greek Sing 2006! w00t Rocky Horror!

The pictures that I've seen so far are absolutely amazing. Bthom is my hero (not that he wasn't before) and all of my sisters look H-O-T-T! I cannot wait to see the DVD.

I'm so proud of you all and I wish I could have been in the show (or at least the audience). :(

Let's do the time warp again!

Love in ZYE and AXO,
Sara

Green!

Btw, I changed the template for a more Spring-y feel. Meanwhile, it's the first full day of Spring and we're getting snow here in DC. :(

C'mon weather! Cooperate! I want to wear my new espadrilles!

On a related note, isn't "espadrille" a fabulous word? Go on... say it out loud right now. Doesn't it tickle your mouth?!?!

@*&$%^(!*#&%!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really getting sick of Virginia drivers. On my way to work today, someone wanted to make a left turn from the middle lane. So he just sat there (dispite honking from several cars) until he was able to make his turn. Idiot!

Then I was about 2 miles from work, stopped at a traffic light that had just turned green, when the car behind me rear-ended me. Thankfully there was no damage to my car, but my neck and back hurt. :( Wtf? Yes, green means go, but there were about 6 or 7 cars between the traffic light and me. I couldn't exactly gun it as soon as the light changed. Wtf?

I wish I had a heating pad for my back. :(

The Ides of March

Spurinna the Soothsayer wasn't kidding when he told Caesar "Beware the Ides of March."

While my March 15 trgedy wasn't quite as bad as what happened to Caesar, it still totally sucks.

Brace yourselves....









... my iPod fell out of my purse and got majorly dented in the back (not quite sure how since it was in a serious protective case) and the screen got all screwed up and it won't turn on. *cry*

Granted, it was approaching its second birthday (also known as my 23rd birthday) and I was considering replacing it with the 5th generation iPod with video. But I wasn't planning on doing that for at least a few more months. Poor myPod. I'll always treasure you.

I'll post pics of the carnage when I gather the strength to look at the iPod again. :(

My little sister is pretty cool

I had a really funny coversation with my sister earlier today, and I just needed to share it:

Shelley: i don't know if you are much of a beer drinker, but we read this book in one of my classes about this guy who opened his own microbrewery and pub and we ate lunch with him today and his beer is supposed to be very good ( i haven't had the chance to try it yet) because he's really into the technical aspect of brewing it...the brand is called Dogfish Head and he has all sorts of types of beer and stuff
Shelley: plus the dude is ridiculously goodlooking
Shelley: haha
Me: lol
Me: what class was this for?
Shelley: university 101
Shelley: it's like the freshman introductory course to college
Me: clearly, if you are reading books about beer
Shelley: but the guy who teaches it for us is the program director for the hospitality program and he tries to tailor the class to stuff in the industry...like he brings in people from around the city to talk to us and stuff
Me: that's cool
Shelley: plus he's also the professor for the "wine & spirits" class
Shelley: so that could be the reason we are reading a book about a guy who started his own microbrewery lol

Spring has sprung!

Hello my darling readers,

I'm sorry I've been away for so long. February may be the shortest month of the year, but it was chock full'o'stuff for me.

My favorite Mal stayed with me for 10 days last month working on this. So cool. When she wasn't hiding behind telephone poles and staking Ryan Phillippe (yes, doing that was actually part of her job), she and I enjoyed being lazy, watched lots of so-bad-it's-good TV, went outlet shopping and, in general, were out recockulous selves.

In addition to the fabulous-ness of having Mal around for all of that time, I realized how much I miss having roommates and how eager I am to move into a 2 bedroom apartment when my current lease ends in May. This is where I'm probably moving to, fyi.

I also wandered up to CMU (my fourth visit since graduating) for Mal's senior show which was fabulous. As always it was wonderful to see my sisters (including Slummy!), although my visit was too short! In related news, Zeta Psi Sigma officially decided to join Alpha Chi Omega two weeks ago. I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to initiating and being really involved with alumnae stuff here in the DC area. I'm so envious of my undergraduate sisters who are enjoying a second new member period. Crazy. Can't wait to see you all at Carnival!

My parents also came down to visit in February. After everything that they've been through in the past year, it was really nice to spend time with them. We are slowly going through all of the Smithsonian museums whenever they visit. This time we went to the Natural History museum. Awesome. Dinosaurs are cool. But not as cool as the Space Shuttle.

So, basically, I didn't have a free weekend in February. Not that I was upset with my company. But, at the same time, I did approximately nothing last weekend and it was glorious!

So, the title of this post is "Spring has sprung" and I haven't even mentioned anything about that yet. Sorry! Okay, here it is: Spring has finally come to DC. Hooray! I drove home with my car's windows open last night and it was fabulous! It's about 70 degrees outside right now, mostly sunny and a little bit breezy. In other words, PERFECTION! I didn't wear a jacket to work for the first time since October or so. This kind of weather puts me in such a good mood. Love it!

In other news, I'm lucky that exclamation points aren't rationed. :)

Okay, more frequent posts in the future. Promise. In the meantime, I hope you all are enjoying fabulous weather as well.

Less than three,
Sara
