Oh man it was awe-SOME.
Watched Enchanted. And Hairspray. Hung out with Ali and her kids. They are such a cute family!
Read two books. One was a murder mystery... I became hooked again! Okay, for you readers who don't know what happened last time I really got into Mary Higgins Clark: I read many of her books a few summers ago, and I was staying with my grandparents at the time. I became so paranoid that I KNEW my grandpa was going to kill me, and stash me away in the walls with the other carcasses of disliked grandchildren.
...and shame on me for succombing <--sp?? one last time to her exciting terror... the words, the detail! I just couldn't help myself...
And so the plot thickens...
I read a pretty cool book, The Wednesday Letters. I'm pretty much a fan of love stories.
I went on a walk...
Said some stuff...
hung out around the house...
Tried to bath Critter (aka SATAN) and got a nasty gash on my belly, and my right hand. So, now when I shake people's hands, I get to see the disgusted look on their face when they scrape across my wound.
It's a happy feeling.
OH! And I went to church on Sunday to Jessica's ward, which is a married ward... so that means children! ... I was enjoying being irreverant, and finding the little baby beside us entertaining. She is a very active little thing, and it was fun to watch how the mom dealt with it. I was pretty amazed when I looked over and saw the baby waving around a rubber chicken. I laughed out loud, raising the level of my irreverance. Who has a rubber chicken besides clowns and/or comedians? On top of that, who has a rubber chicken, and let's their kids play with it during church?
What I want to know is: Where can I find this supply of rubber chickens? Are they bred on a rubber chicken farm... or do I join a special club where rubber chickens are given to the most elite members?
One day I will figure it out. This meaning of Life.
So much fun. So Grandma fixed taco salad for dinner tonight. I put so many onions on my plate... I know i'm going to be leaking onion from my pores for the next week.
Well, that's it for now. I'll update you more later!
I forgot to mention my parents, and my siblings far far away in Germany. I got to speak to them, and it was wonderful! I love to hear what's going on over there... Only 3 more weeks from TODAY and I'll be Home for Christmas...
You can count on me;0)

Week of November 11-19
I don'tknow what to write, really on this blog. I feel like so much has happened. I'll just give the highlights.
Monday- FHE with Ward, we watched Meet the Robinson's on a projector. AWESOME movie.
Tuesday- Met with my nutrition professor, looked over diet and look forward to future improvements.
Wednesday- Hump Day.
Thursday- I defined my relationship with this guy, Scott. He's a great guy. We decided to date eachother still, but date others as well. It's a good thing.
Friday-This was a good, long day. It was spent at school and then getting ready for the Institute dinner'dance social. The theme was Fall 'N Snow. The Institute would have the Fall theme where dinner would be provided, and then the couples would be taken over to the school in horse drawn carriages where the dance would be decorated in a winter theme. It was so much fun to decorate! We put potpurri on the tables and tea lights, and long stemmed candles on a few select round tables. Then white christmas lights were strung. (This was all at the institute). We have a few pictures... but they're mainly polaroid. I'll see if I can get some digitals! Oh man, did we have a good time going around and shooting candid photos of everyone! I had a date: Scott.
Saturday-MMmm. Saturday. I baked some oatmeal raisin cookies, then went to the temple. Um. My car ran out of gas on the way to the Institute where my ward was meeting, and I had to coast into the parking lot! awesome. SO we went to the best place on earth, then had dinner at Golden Corral. Suh-weet!
After that I had a date, and we went to the basketball game. We lost. That's okay, though. We're still pretty amazing. This guy's pretty cool...His name is also Scott. Don't get Scott #2 confused with Scott #1: DTR man.
Sunday- Church, and the fireside! Woohoo! it was a beautiful fireside... My friend Karin and her sister Lori and I went to watch the testament at Scott #2's house. Good times. Then he asked me out to lunch for Tuesday. We'll see how that goes in my next blog posting...
Monday- WOot Woot!
That's basically it for now!
Love,
Sarah
Ps. Turkery day is this week!!!

Week of November : 4-10
This week was incredible.
So Sunday was my brother Patrick's birthday, as you might have seen my little dedication to him. This week I got two incredible texts from him:
(Yesterday's) : How goes it sister of mine? Do you hear the people sing singing the songs of angry men?
When I got this I was at the Institute Volleyball tournment, and there were plenty of men and women to listen to.
Then, my favorite.. I was driving down the street when I got this text:
Here I sit, broken hearted. Came to poop, but then I farted.
Oh Fatty, I love you! You brighten my day! haha
So I need to tell the story about my ding-dong ditching experience.
I had to pick up a few things at Wal-mart, so my friend Karin who had been exercising with me, came. She said "I don't know why, but I feel very mischevious right now!"
I agreed with her. So, we decided to ding-dong ditch our friends. We had a harder time deciding who to do it to, since most of our friends either lived in apartments, or we just didn't know where they lived. It would've been awkward to dingdong ditch an apt, since the friends aforementioned lived on second/third floors. So, they would've caught us running down the three flights of steps.
I decided to dingdong ditch a house of boys that I love dearly. I had a FuzzyWuzzy ball with googally eyes on my dashboard. We wrote a message on an attached ribbon, (Guess Who? :]) and left it on the door handle. It was pretty hard for us to knock on the door, because the boys are fast! They would've caught us for sure.. But luckily, we mustered up all our courage and knocked... (Come to find out, they heard us laughing before we knocked, so they knew we were coming. but didn't know we would run away until they heard the pitter patter of our anxious feet.) we ran back to our car, histerical with the giggles, and I put my car in reverse with the lights off, and tried to navigate down the dark road full of cars on both sides. One of the guys came running out of the house, confused, and it made us giggle even harder.
Then I felt my car run into something...
No worries, it was only the curb! So I put it into drive and slammed on the gas. If anyone knows my car, it goes from 0-60 in a half hour. But it was faster than the boy, and we made a getaway!
We get the supplies at Wal-mart, and we start to feel mischevious again... and we decide to go back. This time I had a paper airplane that a friend made for me. The game plan was to hide behind the bush (Right in front of their porch) and when they answered the door, we'd throw it, watching it glide to nicely and land on the steps... or them. Then we would pop out and yell Surprise!! and all laugh together, and they would invite us in for hot cocoa, as smiles, sunshine, and rainbows would radiate through the house.
We thought it was a fail proof plan.
So we place ourselves behind the bush and Karin is in charge of throwing the airplane. I knock
on the door and run behind the bush. The door opens, and Karin throws the airplane.
The airplane doesn't make it anywhere near the steps. It doesn't make it anywhere. It flew somewhere into the bush right in front of us, and we start laughing... uncontrollably.
This goes on for 30 seconds, or more... And we hear the guy who answered the door utter something that sounded annoyed.
Then the door shuts...
We're still laughing at our clever joke, and walk to the door. I knock. No one answers. They obviously didn't hear me, so I knock again, more determined. Still no answer. Starting to feel the giggles leave, I grab my cell phone and start texting and calling them. No one answers my calls or my texts. Where was our sunshine and rainbows? Where was the Hot Cocoa?
Bummer...
We realized that our ding dong ditching went wrong. So we got in my car, heads hung low. So sad! I felt so bad, I never meant anything bad to come of it. That's one lesson learned: No ding dong ditching unless it's a plate full of cookies and goodness.
So Karin goes home and I need to start working on my project, but I can't concentrate. I keep thinking about those guys and how wounded they must feel. How sad!
Then I get a phone call from one of the guys.
"Hey Sarah! What's up?"
"Hyrum! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean anything bad by ding dong ditching! I didn't mean to make you guys mad, I'm so sofydsyuwea jdskal ayhrie Etc. Etc. etc...15 minutes later etc...."
"We didn't even care. It's not a big deal at all!"
"oh."
And then we made fun small talk, and hung up the cell.
Good good times.
So I made some delicious cookies... These ones actually turned out alright! And I ding dong ditched them on their doorstep the next night...
And now they don't hate me.
:) I love bribery cookies!
Anyways, let that be a lesson to you all. Let us all be kind to on another, and make sure that when you're feeling mischevious, just... ignore the feeling. Unless it's coupled with sunshine and rainbows.
So that was a good time. Then I gave an incredible Informative speech on Thursday morning. Itwas about the Bystander Effect, and to help people. Always. And I had Indiana Jones theme music playing, and I ripped off my jacket and saved someone's life. It was awesome.
Friday I was at school all day. I took an exam and got a 98%!
Then, I went to the Volleyball tournament for Institute and kept score... and hung out with the amazing Institute people. I love Institute so much! I am learning so much... and the classes are almost over, but I am going to sign up for a bajillion classes next semester and learn more and more! I'll probably take a mission prep class, as well:)
Then BRYN ANDERSON GOT ENGAGED! I don't know if you remember her, Bob, but she was in the Chesterfield stake and she loved basketball. So we had a celebratory bonfire for her last night. It was so much fun! Then I came home and crashed on my bed:)
I love the weekend!
Well, I'm going to go for a walk with Karin up the canyon now... get some Vitamin D! WooT Woot! we haven't spoken since Monday, so I'm so happy to finally see her and talk over out week:)
I love you all so much, and I am so excited it's already November!
Looooove Yooou!!!

Brother's Birthday!
FATTY!
IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
You're 23 years young
and I would have sung
about your brilliant life,
but it would cause strife
to everyones ears.
That was for you, Boo!
My brilliance outshines Shakespeare. *sigh* I amaze myself.

Maya Angelou's Poem
A Woman should have
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to
A Woman should have
something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour
A Woman should have
a youth she's content to leave behind
A Woman should have
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age
A Woman should have
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra
A Woman should have
A Woman should have
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family
A Woman should have
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored
A Woman should have
a feeling of control over her destiny
Every Woman should know
how to fall in love without losing herself
Every Woman should know
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship
Every Woman should know
when to try harder and when to walk away
Every Woman should know
that she can't change the length of her calves,the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents
Every Woman should know
that her childhood may not have been perfect, but its over
Every Woman should know
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more
Every Woman should know
how to live alone even if she doesn't like it
Every Woman should know
whom she can trust,whom she can't,and why she shouldn't take it personally
Every Woman should know
where to go be it to her best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn in the woods when her soul needs soothing
Every Woman should know
what she can and can't accomplish in a day a month and a year
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to
A Woman should have
something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour
A Woman should have
a youth she's content to leave behind
A Woman should have
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age
A Woman should have
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra
A Woman should have
one friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry
A Woman should have
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family
A Woman should have
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored
A Woman should have
a feeling of control over her destiny
Every Woman should know
how to fall in love without losing herself
Every Woman should know
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship
Every Woman should know
when to try harder and when to walk away
Every Woman should know
that she can't change the length of her calves,the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents
Every Woman should know
that her childhood may not have been perfect, but its over
Every Woman should know
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more
Every Woman should know
how to live alone even if she doesn't like it
Every Woman should know
whom she can trust,whom she can't,and why she shouldn't take it personally
Every Woman should know
where to go be it to her best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn in the woods when her soul needs soothing
Every Woman should know
what she can and can't accomplish in a day a month and a year

One small step for Sarah Michelle...
'One Small Step' for me now, means one giant leap for the future Sarah Michelle. I'm 'hip'. I'm 'with it'... at least, I'm getting there. This blog is so that my family can keep in touch with me, and we can post things on eachother's blogs. I'm pretty excited about it!
"It Could Happen To You" is the title of my blog, because I have such random stories to tell. Still, it could happen to you. Unique, wonderful stories to accompany a unique, wonderful life.
It's A Beautiful Life!
