Somethin' Stupid

Nancy and I both have a tendency to take an obscene number of self-portraits. Hers are usually when she's putting off homework, and they're hilarious. She likes to post those on my wall because rarely do we have moments together to just talk. 

It's a rare day when the pictures are somewhat flattering. Usually they're just entertaining. So taking advantage of good pictures is definitely a thing.

The last few days have been interesting. Developments in my life can be stressful, even at the best of times. But these weren't entirely the best of times. But I think I'm learning something. I put myself out there a lot, and sometimes that's horrifying. But I will always be grateful for courage. 

Mostly I'm grateful because it turns out I can encourage others to be brave too. If things don't work out, fine. But when they do, you made this glorious decision to open your life up to new possibilities. Beautiful, don't you think? So I'm happy to be someone who cultivates bravery in all aspects of life.

And when it doesn't work out, oh well. Maybe you spoiled everything by saying something stupid, like "I love you".

But best case scenario, you made a new start for yourself.

Be. A. Brave. Soul.

Love, Sarai

Needles Scare Me.....

Outfit Details: Polka-dot shirt-Forever 21, Skirt-thrifted, T strap pumps-thrifted

I wore this outfit on Sunday....apparently Pioneer Day in Utah! I didn't even know that day existed until I got here. What a culture shock for a Washingtonian like moi? :)

And today I worked for five hours at the blood drive. A very interesting place for me to volunteer actually. I'm a bit terrified of needles. More than a bit terrified in fact. I'm so scared that I cry when nurses come towards me with needles. Yes, it's ridiculous, I'm fully aware. It honestly doesn't even hurt, it's just the anticipation of the sharp object piercing my skin that literally makes me want to throw-up. It's horrid. But because I firmly believe in blood donation, I felt that I must contribute in some way! So I signed people in, and met some mighty interesting folks along the way....

One guy randomly blew a kiss to me after he and his friend were kind of obnoxious when I was signing them in. That was very entertaining ;)

Overall, it was a great day. Even if I did spend it around antiseptic and needles.

OH, and here's a few pictures from the cupcake tasting that I went to this weekend :) Hmmm, these were some seriously delicious little cakes my friends. I scarfed a million of them :)

The above lemon one was my favorite by far :)

And this is the creator :) I'll let you know about her sometime. If you want an order of cupcakes, let me know!

And goofy shots of Chelsea and I....we're awesome sometimes :) this was on our way to see Thor, who is one sexy man!

Love, Sarai

PS: Tomorrow I have the follow-up interview for Icing! Pray for me if you would :)
