I Have Been Neglectful. Enjoy My Excuses!

Hi! I’m in Oklahoma!

Oklahoma is OK, thanks for asking. It’s hot. Very hot. Yesterday, I ran at 6:30 in the morning and died.

The end.

****************************

Currently, my brain will only assimilate sentences suitable for small children. And lists - I can deal with lists, so let’s go.

1. Remember our lovely beach bungalow up for sale for eleventy billion dollars? Remember the sadness at the thought of moving? Followed by the confident realization that NO ONE in their right mind would purchase such a bungalow for the unbelievably exorbitant price?

Well, I was right. No one would purchase our home for that much money.

But, they did purchase it for the unbelievably exorbitant price minus a large chunk of change.

In escrow. Inspections currently in process.

Hi! Did I mention we are in Oklahoma?

2. Let’s not dwell. Looks like the new owner might keep us in the property. Can everyone keep their fingers crossed?

3. It’s Wito’s 1st birthday! Big party this afternoon! With sugar and presents and a mini-Blogher conference. Shall we call it Blogher 0.5?

4. Many preparations are in order, so I must say goodbye for the time being. I’ll be back, post-sugar highs and wine headaches.

Happy Birthday, Wito!

Incoherent Rambling and a Dunkin Donut

About a month ago, I made a promise to some Very Important People that I would not come back from Blogher and write about all of the AMAZING and TALENTED women I met during the process like everyone else.

(Although, I did! They were really, really fantastic!) (And that doesn’t count because of the parentheses.)

Since I’m a lady of my word, you will have witness the AMAZING and TALENTED women over at my Flickr set.

My only regret was the lack of time spent with some of the lovelies. I’m looking at you Leah squared, Yvonne, Kris, Stacy, SJ, etc.- 5 minutes here and there was NOT enough.

Oh, and when I swallowed my tongue after the utterly radiant Holly complimented my gold shoes.

Instead, please direct your attention to my late-night rambling in the fabulous company of Heather (aka- The Girl Who Orders Vegetable Wraps From Dunkin Donuts) and Shana Banana. Bonus points for anyone who can decipher what I’m saying during the middle. Also, my bloodshot eyes and open-mouth chewing? Sweet Ass Jebus.

UPDATE: It seems as a retaliatory measure, Heather has posted a video of yours truly engaging in some shady dance moves. I am offering my public apology right now.

Everything You Need To Know, Right Here

I’m Sarah, a veritable prodigy in the fields of list-making and lip gloss color recognition. I currently live by the beach with my picky interior designer husband and freakishly large baby.

I am addicted to instruction manuals, green olives (preferably in my vodka), Fantasy Football, online shopping and the color of grass.

My own personal hell would involve talking on the phone while surrounded by cats with The Carpenters playing in the background.

This is a blogme2007 introduction. More information here.

Foiled!

We still haven’t attempted our first single, “Cinnamon Stix”. It’s a beautiful song, reminiscent of our last visit to Santa Fe when Bishop Stu Tu compared the results of a trip to the bathroom with the consistency of the aforementioned. Did I mention the Whoorl family loves the poop talk? Oh well, I’m sure the 3 of you wanting a video won’t be too crushed.

4 out of 6 of us are sick with colds, including Wito who hasn’t experienced even a sniffle in the past 9 months. I’m on high alert over here, trying my hardest not to get sucked into the new mom tailspin. He doesn’t have a fever, just copious amounts of snot and generalized crank ass. Total bummer.

Any baby cold tips (high altitudes included) would be greatly appreciated!

Quiet On The Homefront

Thanks for all of the well wishes regarding Operation: Ring Retrieval. What a crazy day!

I’ve already decided that Operation: Arnie Lifeguard is next. When I return from my vacation, I will make it my personal mission to track down Mr. Orange Cone White Teeth and snap a photo for you all.

In the meantime, I will be enjoying time* and relaxing** with my family.

Have a great weekend!

Love Me Some Lists

Posted on December 29, 2006 · Filed Under lists, travel, parentage · 16 Comments

Well, hello there.

I have a bit of a cold, but don’t fret for little whoorlie. Why, you ask?

1. I am back home, which means I can deal with my cold in MY bed. Yay.

2. This is my first cold since pregnancy. Remember the shitty pregnancy cold of 2006 that lasted forever?! No worries this time around because I can take DRUGS! I can partake in los druggos to effectively deal with said cold! I am currently enjoying the effects of Alka Seltzer Cold Medicine. I love me some ASCM liqui-gels, yo.

3. Having a cold means I shouldn’t unpack our bags or the multitude of boxes containing Wito’s Christmas haul from Oklahoma.

4. Feed a cold. I still have my appetite, which I plan on satiating all day long to make up for the 4 pounds lost over the holidays. Holiday diarrhea rocks!

5. Wito seems to be healthy at this very moment in time. Hopefully, he received a nice dose of whoorlie antibodies for breakfast this morning. But even if he does come down with the snotties, we have four days of holiday before D has to return to work. Which means Nurse D, at your service. Should I dust off the bell? Ring-a-ding-ding! Nurse D, please report to bedroom #1 for assistance STAT!

6. Puffs Plus are soft. Acne-inducing? Possibly. But oh, so soft.

7. A week of blogs to catch up on. How was your holiday week? Oh, I will know so very soon.

8. I will have time to construct entries detailing my Christmas vacation, which consisted of stories including, but not limited to:

*Sub-list alert. How very whoorl…a list inside a list.*

1. A screaming deal on a G-money car. Wito is now rollin’ in the lap of luxury.
2. A 1500-mile road trip complete with screaming baby, which truly is a week worth of posts in itself. Highlights include Texas State Troopers, exciting bathrooms, the race for the last hotel room in town (shout out to the peeps of Las Cruces, New Mexico!), and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
3. The Great Hemorrhage of 2006.
4. The Jalapeno Cheese Ball Surprise.
5. Big decisions on the homefront.

Have I wet your whistle? Are you shaking in suspense?

All in good time, all in good time. A nap is calling my name.
