  • Some favorite quotes


    Live for the moments that you can't put into words.

    Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.

    Nothing lasts forever so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bullshit, take chances, and never have regrets, because at one point, everything you did was exactly what you wanted.

    The soul is not where it lives but where it loves.- Thomas Fuller

    It's never too late to be what you might have been.-George Eliot

    Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.-Langston Hughes

    I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting to wake up one day and find that I let all these years go by wasted.-Carrie Underwood

    God does not give you the people you want in your life. He gives you people that will hurt you, harm you, lie to you, make you cry, the people who shape who you truly are and give you strength.

    "Its either marriage or rape, no other simple way to put it guys." - Professor Turpin

    "Sara, are you drinking alone in your hotel room again? You really have turned into a Schiltz." The All Wise Booger aka Megan

    "Now if only I can shed all emotion and screw who I please I will finally be a man and all my dreams have come true." Jessia "Twat" Hammons.

  • Kinda Bored but hmm kinda mood

    Title makes no sense I know. I'm pretty bored here in Elgin and I don't know what all there is to do here. Plus I have no friends here. But I'm here for school and thats my main focus. Except I can't stand not having anything to do on my days off. I usually am so busy and don't have off days. Or "off days" are days when I only work 4-6 hours. But usually those days are filled with cleaning stalls or other things of that sort. I like staying busy. So I'm thinking of volunteering here at the hotel and seeing if I can do like office work or something. I have, though, finally had time to do some reading. Major plus! Also, there are some good tv shows out there. Nothing I plan on watching consistently but still fills some time.

    Today I will spend finishing packing and then finding my way to Elgin for grooming academy. I'm quite nervous for this because I think it will be fun and challenging at the same time. But another person in my life is going on a different trip today. At 7am this morning my brother-in-law boarded an Army plane and headed to Iraq for a 15 month stay. He left behind Avin, who is three, Amarah who is one, and my sister Lindsey who is due in September with a third child. I know this was very hard for him and I can't imagine how he feels. I know he is afraid, I had seen it in his eyes when they visited us last month. But he holds himself for the sake of the kids and my sister. He has been overseas before and on many occasions. He has also already been to Iraq. He spent four years in the Navy and has been to 7 different countries. He started during Operation Iraqi Freedom and is still on for Enduring Freedom. After the Navy he was out for a year for Avin's birth and then rejoined the Army. While with the Army he spent the first seven months of my sisters pregnancy with Amarah with in South Korea. My sister and Avin were there with him though living on base. They were back in the states for Amarah's birth and then moved to Fort Hood, Texas where he was stationed until recently. He's a brave guy and has come through a lot in his life. He loves everything he does and every person he meets. I have never met someone as understanding and generous as him. I just want to ask you all to please keep him and his fellow soldiers in your thoughts and prayers Not only for my family but for all the military families out there whether you believe in this war or not. Those brave people have families and lives that they want to return to. Thank you!

  • A toast

    Borrowed this from a friend, I wish I could follow it and hope that soon I can! Inspiration to all.



    Here's a *toast* to all those girls who used to be  his number one. The ones
    who waited ALL night for him to call, only to  check the caller ID the next
    morning and be disappointed. The ones who  made it through that bitter break up,
    dried your own tears, and moved on  with your LIFE, only to have him walk
    back in it months later like NOTHIN  ever happened. Those of you who cried on the
    first day you talked again  because you knew exactly where this phone call
    was going. The ones who  listened to him say, I only want to be your friend, one
    day, and the next,  listened to him say how much he loves and misses you.
    Here's to the ones  that took him back, hoping that maybe this time, he was
    different, HOPING  that maybe people really do change. We listened to our friends
    tell us  that we were stupid for even thinking about giving him another chance.
    We  went through the great stage with NO fights all over again. We started  
    this out thinking it would be just friends, and ended up falling in love  with
    him again. We wanted nothing more in the world than to hear him tell  us he
    loved us too, that even though things were bad in the past, they  would be
    different this time. And when we finally heard it, it was like we  were dreaming.
    This is for us. Here's to the ones who believed everything  he said, sat around
    all over again waiting for a phone call that might  come in a few hours, or a
    few days. Here's for the tears cried and dried  all over again. We wanted so
    desperately to believe that he was really  busy, he couldn't possibly call us
    at that moment, or even that he fell  asleep early. We trained ourselves to
    believe the lies because we wanted  to believe we had found the one for us. We
    learned to SETTLE for someone  who didn't treat us the way we should be
    treated. Here's for the ones who  did their hair and make up and put on their
    prettiest earrings, only to  hear him say that he couldn't see us today. The ones who
    NEVER believed it  when people told us there might be someone else. We just
    couldn't believe  that he could do this to us again. This is for those **great
    girls**, who  loved him more than words can say, and took him back NO matter
    WHAT  happened last time because they couldn't bear to look back on their lives
     one day and wonder "what if".? Here's to the girls who couldn't cry to  
    their friends because of how stupid they felt. The ones who held it all in  when
    things came crumbling to pieces again.The ones that could just TELL  that they
    had made a mistake ever allowing him into their hearts, their  beds, and their
    dreams again.


    Here's for the ones that FINALLY  realized that he does not possibly feel the
    same way, because he has not  done for you what you'd do for him. So here's
    for **us girls** who FINALLY  realized that we DESERVE beTTer. This is for
    those confusing days, when  you miss him, and want nothing more than to hear his
    voice, or feel his  arms around your waist. Remember the times you cried, and
    how long  it
    took you to even be able to look at another guy like that and  promise you
    will not put yourself through that again. When "your song"  comes on the radio,
    turn the station. When the day comes that he realizes  what a mistake he made
    and tries calling, turn your phone off. When he  tries coming to your house,
    don't answer the door. Think of the broken  promises, and the lies, the
    manipulation and the tears, the wasted moments  and staying up all night wondering
    where the hell he was. Think of how  your heart used to ^JuMp^ when your phone
    would vibrate in the middle of  the night, and how it fell to your stomach when
    you saw it wasn't him, and  *realized* that once again, he hadn't called when
    he said he was going to.  You may think that you'll NEVER care about someone
    like you did that guy  that you always ran back to, but YOU WILL. It's gonna
    hurt like hell, and  it's going to need time to heal, but the point is, it will
     heal.

  • Momma said there'd be days like this...

    I don't know if only my family is like this but I struggle to make sense of it. There are six kids in my family and I am the youngest. We all do things so different and I don't exactly know why. Take making a bed for example. I cannot stand the way my mom makes a bed (partially cause I have mild OCD). Its totally different than me and she puts all the pillows regardless of what they are over the blankets and folds back all blankets. I put my pillows under the blankets besides the throw pillows and have all undercovers tucked in and my comforter displayed proudly with no fold. Literally every one of us makes the bed completely different. Also the way we fold towels and blankets is different. I don't get this because I know I was taught to do laundry, make beds, ect. by a sibling who was essentially taught by mom along with her teaching me also. Why does this happen? I tie my shoes completely different than my entire family, everyone and I'm including aunts, uncles, ect in this, use the one loop where as I use two. I really don't know why this bugs me but it does.

About Me

  • First off I'm Sara, no H. I don't like being told I can't do something and will try my hardest just because someone said you can't. At the same time I don't let others run who I am, tried it and it sucks. I love the outdoors and anything that deals with them, the world is ours. People sometimes call me their friend but its not easy managing that many people. My best friends go by Booger, Twat, and Colipoo, they are always there for me. I also consider GC and Sadie to be my best friends but I don't know if they count since they are a horse and a dog but whatevs. I also have many nicknames such as Goose, Douche, Skillet, Mare, Cockblocker, and...crap I know I'm forgetting one. I'll answer pretty much any question anyone has for me so go ahead and ask away!

    A friend gives hope when life is low, a friend is a place when you have nowhere to go, a friend is honest, a friend is true. A friend is precious a friend is you.

    Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice

    Life laughs at you when you are unhappy, life smiles at you when you are happy, but life salutes you when you make others happy.
