Oh, You Know, Just That Time I Was in the Newspaper.

{I was in the Beehive for this.  I can dig it.  Glad I wore make up, too.}

Yup.

Oh. and They spelled my name wrong.  You can now call me, "Saran Reed."  Jokes.

P.S.  Five more days to sign up for December Sponsors!

Music Monday

Today's song is...

Bette Davis Eyes  // Kim Carnes

But even better, Taylor Swift's cover of it.  {I definitely like her version better.}

I've really been loving the 1980's lately.  It's kind of a recent, random obsession.  Maybe a post about it?  I just might have to.

P.S.  Don't forget about December Sponsors!!!

I Love You Followers With All My Passion

Ok, guys I'm seriously so happy.  I've finally reached my goal of 20 followers!!  I woke up this morning checked my blog and saw 20 followers right there on my dashboard.  Sweeeeeeettt!  Haha, seriously though, I'm so happy, I would do a giveaway, but I'm broke and have nothing to giveaway.  :(  Maybe I'll think of something else wonderful to do.  I'll keep it in mind.

Anyways....  now I'm onto my next goal of 50 followers!  Oh gracious....  :)

Love you all!

P.S.  Don't forget about December Sponsors!  Oh!  And a quick note: Your buttons will be put up December 1st if you sign up or renew.  :)

Lincoln + Book Report

I have a book report due in about 13 days.  I'm on page 69 out of 309.  Talk about stress.  So today has been dedicated to reading Anne of Green Gables with my favorite "ho ho ho" blanket and just read.  I'm sure it would be a wonderful book if I wasn't so stressed about reading it!  Haha, but seriously.  It's amazing, it's just hard to appreciate it.

On a happier note, I saw Lincoln Yesterday!

It was really, really good.  It was all about passing the 13th amendment.  And you know how I love anything political or having to do with office.  It just interests me so much.  Anyways, I highly recommend it.  The actors are amazing {especially Josh Gordon Levitt, he was a pleasant surprise.} and Daniel Day-Lewis {Lincoln} looked so much like Abe Lincoln himself!  It was great.    All you have to watch out for it's repetitive language.  Gosh darn it this world.

So, in closing, don't procrastinate your book reports and see Lincoln.  Kapeesh?  Kapeesh.

P.S.  Don't forget about December Sponsors!!  :)

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was great.  I stuffed my face, layed down on a couch squished with my cousin and sister, and then stuffed myself again with pie.

Later, my cousin came back over and we had a sleep over!  We talked/watched MattyB until 10ish and then decided we wanted to watch a movie.  That movie, was Napoleon Dynamite.  Seriously the funniest movie ever!  Some of my favorite quotes:

"Tina, you fat lard eat your dinner!"

"I see you're drinking 1%.  Is that 'cause you think you're fat?  'Cause you're not.  You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."

"Just make yourself a dang quesadilla!"

"I like your sleeves.  They're real big."

Bahahaha.  It was great.

We ended up going to bed at about 1 in the morning and I woke up at 6:45 and couldn't go back to sleep!  It was not fun, so I took a shower!  Haha, but really.  For breakfast we made {chocolate chip} pancakes.  I put whipped cream and chocolate syrup on them.  This was pretty much me:

Tired + Sugar for Breakfast = Super Hyper

It was crazy.  We had a pillow fight and then she wrote Napoleon Dynamite quotes all over my chalkboard. :)

♥, Sarah

Oh. and one more thing i need to add to my thankful list.

Music.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have fun stuffing your face with food!

Yes, I Really Do Have Eyebrows

The perks of being a ginger:  having "no" eyebrows.  Haha, but seriously.  They're like, invisible.  But tonight while the great make-up/hair artist, Kallee, was doing my make-up, {And no, I was not going anywhere, and yes, it was like 8:30 at night.}  we decided to use the handy-dandy eyebrow pencil.  It took me a while to get used to it and it still feels kind of weird, but I totally love it:

What do you think?  Tell me in the comments:

Music Monday

I'm still obsessing over Take Me Home, but today's song is not from the album, and it's not even by One Direction.  It's actually a song I heard on the iTunes store a little less than a week ago, but I loved it instantly.  It is...

Ho Hey // The Lumineers

I love the music that's coming into trend lately, it's very Folk, but very Indie.  I call it Indie-Folk, but you can decide on a name for it yourself.  But anyways, it's really awesome.  Pop is slowly transitioning out, and Indie-Folk is slowly coming in.

♥, Sarah

Take Me Home

{The Album}

{Me with the Album Being Super Psyched.}

{"Liam, First Page, First Page, Liam"}

TAKE ME HOME IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have no clue how much i hyperventilated over it today, it was ridiculous!  I'm so satisfied and amazed and in awe with it.  {Even if i have heard more that half of it because of this}

Every song is so amazing. And i love each and every one equal.  Except for....

Truly, Madly, Deeply on the Target Edition.  

It has some more love going for it.  It's so wonderfully, beautifully, stinkin' ADORABLE!!!!!!

Anyways....  Buy the album!  {Strongly recommended from Target}  And listen to it over and over and over again.  Oh!  and listen to Truly, Madly, Deeply over and over, too.  You won't regret it, even if you aren't a "Directioner."

And don't forget to buy the Yearbook Edition!!!!!!!!!! {Or at least the bonus songs, like I did.}

And honestly, I think this album needs a whole stinking book written about it, but...  I just don't have words to express my fangirl feelings, so....  :)

♥, Sarah

P.S.  Also... on the Today Show today, 1D announced that they are coming out with a movie!!!!  i'm freaking out!!!  August 30, 2012 is going to be the best day of my life.  {Oh. and Niall announced this and he said is soooooo cute with his irish accent.  I will have to find a video of it...}

Ummmmmmmmmmmm....  I'm still obsessing over RED {meaning, i haven't really listened to anything else lately}, so.....  I guess I'll tell you my newest favorites.

// all too well

// holy ground

And to transition from RED to Take Me Home listen to Come Back... Be Here on RED, it reminds me of One Direction.  Bahahahaha. Awkie.

hacking your friend's facebook is normal right?

even if none of the people you hacked it with, have a facebook themselves?

{because 2 of us were in her cover photo}

{random rambling of julie, think about it.}

{this one is just awkward.... and keekee, don't get mad at me for using the 's' word.... [sexy]}

well.... after we partied with liz and all... people came over to my house to get picked up by their parents.  my friend katelyn {who i'm trying to get to make a blog...} wanted to show me her cousin on facebook.  but in the middle of showing me, she had to leave!  so... she told me i could keep looking on it, but to sign out afterwards.  {she should have never trusted me....}  a few minutes before this happened i saw this post, so i told the remaining people at my house {rebekah and julie}, "hey! we should post something on katelyn's facebook!"  so we did.  and then we did again.  and then we admitted to the crime.  yup.  we're practically famous.  {hahaha no.}

so today was basically full of YOLOing.  :)  {don't mind me if i use this phrase for everything i do...}

♥, sarah

hbd liz!

lizzie!  it's your birthday!

you are the greatest.  i'm so glad to have such a great friend.   i love how everybody looks at us like we're sinners when we talk about your "smoking problems."  {don't worry blogging world, neither of us smoke.  it's an inside joke, that is... hard to explain?}.  haha.  well, love you!!!  ♥

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

anyways... since we had school off, we decided to celebrate extra.  we got everyone who could to come over and make brownies {tradition.}.  and then... after previously making signs... we took the brownies to liz and walked to sonic holding this up:

yeah, we got a few honks.

oh.  and we made her wear this:

yup!  it was awesome.  when sonic found it was her birthday, they gave her a free vanilla cone.  it was kind of the bomb.

oh!!  and here are all of the notes we wrote on the back of the poster that are so blurred you can't read them!

haha.  again, i love you and happy birfday liz!

♥, sarah

p.s.  one direction's new album comes out tomorrow!!!!!  i'm freaking out!!!!!

veteran's day

happy veteran's day!  

"freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  we didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the united states."  -ronald reagan

"never take our freedom for granted, because our freedom is not free!"  -anon.

christmas lights?

yes.  christmas lights!  every year, the saturday before thanksgiving, we put up our chrismtas lights, but don't turn them on until the day after thanksgiving.  

but this year, my mom wouldn't have been able to do it due to a stake meeting and my dad and i didn't want to do it on our own, so we did them today.

it was actually cold.  cold!  i was so happy!  it was the first day of the year i could wear a jacket.  it was amazing.

{today's weather.  and their typo made me laugh.  "today is  forecast..."}
{via}

tonight is going to be one of those lazy, awesome nights that consist of:

// watching t.v., most likely hallmark christmas movies. 

// staying warm with my favorite "ho ho ho" christmas blanket.

// chowing down on homemade popcorn

// drinking hot chocolate

// eating left over halloween candy

// and maybe some ice cream 

♥, sarah

ramen and boots and rain and friends.

{lots of boots piled up at my house!  signs of fall!}

tonight i had a few friends over!  it was sooooo fun.  we...

talked on the trampoline {as always...} and it started raining.  loving the rain here lately!  we ran all around in it.  it was so cold though!  i love it!

then we all sat in a circle on my backyard porch and talked some more.  looking at old elementary yearbooks and such.

after a while, we all went in the front yard.  we froze in random poses whenever cars passed and pretty much did basic YOLO stuff like that.

we got cold.  so we made ramen!  we put it in individual cups and sipped/forked away.

it was so great.  and i know i've said this before, but, friends are great.

SHOUT OUT TO ALL THERE:
// alyssa
// sami g
// kallee
// rebekah

music monday

one direction has come out with 2 things in the last 2 days.  first of all, yesterday....

THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR LITTLE THINGS CAME OUT!  here it is:

so amazing.  and this girl explains the song and video perfectly.

and then today i came home from school to find that you can listen to their whole album via itunes!  {but you can't buy it yet.}

let me tell you now,  I. AM. OBSESSED!!!!!  it's ridiculous.  i love it even more than i thought i would!  and it shows off their vocals so much.  it's beautiful and wonderful and i'm fangirling over it every moment.  trust me, i just keep on listening to it.

it's only up for "a limited time,"  so get listening.  and look at the tracklist here.

enjoy it all!  and now if you excuse me, i'm going to go listen to the album for the 3rd time.

♥, sarah

i don't even care if it's still 80 degrees here in arizona, it's been boots, sweaters, and tights galore for me!  i mean, i've said it before, but it's just so unfair!  it's cold and autumn everywhere else {or so it seems} but here!  but.....  i've been layerin' it up anyways.

transitions

{my room's a mess right now, after cleaning out all my of my drawers to paint the dressers, i still haven't cleaned up.}
{via my flickr}

i'm going through lots of transitions in my life.  one of the lesser being redecorating my room.  i'm trying to exercise more, eat healthier, and i'm changing myself for  the better, and not for  others, but for me..  there's lots i want to change and there's lots i want to find out about myself.  and then there's lots i've already transitioned through.  i have a lot of goals in mind, i really should right them out, but not here, not now.

tighter than the jo bro's skinny jeans.

last thursday, i went to my school's "advanced drama production," the princess who had no name with samantha.  it was so funny!!  i laughed throughout the whole. darn. thing.  and now i have a new phrase,

"that's tight, tighter than the jonas brothers' skinny jeans."

when i heard it i almost died.

oh!  and BIG shout out to liz!  she was rapunzel and she did so amazing.  love you!  

can't wait for the musical next semester!

you only live once

{steph [katniss]), me [nerd], reba [ballerina (swan lake)], keekee [footballer], jill [belle], aubs [girl from camphalf-blood], emily [chocolate mouse]}

so last night ended up being pretty great, instead of turning out like what i thought.

a couple of my friends called me up and wanted me to come.  they finally convinced me by playing the first verse of live while we're young, and then telling me "liam is waiting for you!"

"Hey girl I'm waiting on ya, I'm waiting on ya, 
Come on and let me sneak you out,
And have a celebration, a celebration, 
The music up the window's down..."

oh liam, that angelic child.

so i through together a costume.  i put my nerd glasses on and taped a piece of paper to my shirt that said, "i love math."

so i arrived at kallee's neighborhood gate, and they were all right there, so we left to walk to another neighborhood.  on the way, we saw 2 racing cars.  way to be safe on halloween buckos.

we went around trick or treating and at one house this girl's hubby loved my costume.  i've found a fellow math lover!  haha! 

then we we went to one of our leader's house.  she told us there were some boys from our grade in the backyard.  and if you know me, i was all, "let's go!"  haha.  i honestly don't care what boys they are, i will talk to them if i get a chance.  haha!  so we went into their backyard and we were all, "party crashers!"  yeah.  we crashed a party.  {of about 5 people.}  YOLO.  then, we played some intense ping-pong {which i lost.  haha!}

then we went to a few more houses sat on a curb and talked for a while.  then walked home.  we experienced quite a lot for us new to the teen world.  one person in a car screamed at us, not like mad or anything, but they just, you know, sreamed.  it actually scared me!  and then these other scary people passed by and threw a frozen. hot. dog. at. us.  and it hit stephanie!  and she said it hurt!  we ran all the way back to keekee's after that.

when we got back to kallee's we me made some popcorn and then left.  overall, it was an epic night.

and just for kicks, check out my favorite YOLO songs of the moment.  

hope you had a night full of great and crazy things!  happy late halloween!

♥, sarah
