Sort of Outfit Post

Sorry for the retarded picture... I had some issues

Outfit Details:

earrings: CHILE! 

sweater: F21

black skinnies: F21

awesome alpaca lined shoes: CHILE!

I know. I have some issues taking real pictures of my outfits. My camera has problems standing up on its own and my mother always looks at me like a freak if i ask her to take pictures so i just avoid that situation... BUT! I couldn't pass up my awesome Chile shoe love. They're lined with alpaca fur. Yep. That's right. Alpaca fur. So they make for the warmest and comfiest cute shoes in the world. Plus who else in the world has them? NO ONE!  Cause they're a one of a kind hand made shoe from Chile. I know i've talked about these shoes before but i still can't get over how amazing they are. Plus, it's finally cold enough for me to wear them.

So this post is kind of all over the place because pretty much all of my friends are gone so I have all of these thoughts and no one to share them with until January. Anyway, right now all I can think about is cute little puppy Siberian Huskies. I. want. one. bad. It's been a thing of mine for a while now but sometimes I feel the need stronger than at other times. I think I love them so much because they're the closest I will get to owning a wolf. Sarai and I looove wolves like no one's business and we can't be as cool as my dad that actually owned a dog that was part wolf. And, what's cooler than a sled dog?

I love when they're puppies and have black coloring around their eyes cause they look like little devils except with blue eyes! So precious... I'm dying inside right now. haha

Today at work (Icing) I did my first ever ear piercing. I thought it would be awful, and that I would cry or something. I also thought I would be doing a double with Kourtney. Instead, I did a single. As in, I pierced this little girl's ears, by myself, for my very first ear piercing. I was so completely terrified. I had no idea that I was going to do it on my own. It was amazing. And just....amazing.
I love it
I feel like some sort of master who can dictate whether or not someone has pierced ears or not. I have authority, I have gumption!
It just felt really cool to do that all by myself.
And I even filled out the paperwork, and did everything on my own. So exhilarating.

In other news my boyfriend won't kiss me. No worries, he's simply a sick boy and doesn't want me to get sick also. Being sick blows, so I feel for the kid, I really do. But I'd say right about now he should be getting much better so that he can just kiss me goodnight already.
I tried telling him that sickness does not deter me from wanting to kiss him. He won't listen though, insisting that I will most certainly get sick, and then we will have to wait even longer to kiss. ugh.

Love, Sarai

A Letter to a friend:

Dear Paris, Demetrius, George--

Have you ever been in distress? I have.. And I'm in distress right now. And it's your fault. But I'm not mad at you for that. I'm mad at you for leaving, because you had no right to let that happen.

I was banking on you living. I was so ready to see you again, it wasn't even funny.

I'm also mad at that stupid car. The stupid car that you broke, and the stupid car that broke you. I used to stick my head out of the sunroof of that car while we listened to Backstreet Boys. Such pathetic music my friend--but I secretly enjoyed myself.

Be gentle, sky, and let me rest –
These bones are worn – they lack the zest
Of flesh in life – they’re marrowless! –
Their arid surface, nakedness! –
Betrayed in death; no sheen of red
From coursing blood; and blue was shed
Upon the fading out of eyes
That cased the world and gave disguise
To what my deepest thoughts had been –
But now I’m done with all I’ve seen.

You always made ridiculous jokes. When you would smack your head against the stool and hit the ground, it always seemed so real. And it was a joke. This isn't funny.

I guess I was just banking on your getting better. That's the assumption, isn't it? When someone pulls through you expect them to just get better. I suppose it gave us longer to say goodbye.

Except I didn't get to say goodbye.

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

Band of Horses

It rained today. And if I looked at my dorms I thought I was back home again, even for a short time. It made me feel safe. When I looked at campus, the mountains disoriented me. But still. The rain was pretty nice.

I know Gillian misses you. Which makes me really sad for her. She doesn't cry that often, but when she does, it destroys me. Remember those jerks who made fun of her once? I was livid. And I know everyone had her back on that one.

You're one of those friends that sometimes I got annoyed with. I'm not gonna lie about that, but that wasn't what mattered.
OH. But you know what really sucks? I'm in a functional relationship (crazy, right?) And you never got to meet him. But he's been a great help actually. I couldn't stop crying, and he made me feel better. You know his friend died when someone burglarized his home. So he knows.

Remember the crazy trips to Shari's when Mike yelled at us? And who else did that? I just know those were the best.

And you gave me your blanket on halloween once, because I was too cold to handle life. And lynelle broke a fence. But I also never gave you your blanket back.

Death is weird. It never actually feels all that real until you recognize the absence of that person. Because I'm here, I can't really feel that you're gone. I honetsly keep thinking you'll still be hanging around the high school, like usual. Creep.

I haven't recognized your absence yet. Maybe it won't happen for a while. I tried to last night, so that maybe I would feel better. All it did was overwhelm me. I couldn't stop crying. Then Bekah gave me a snickers bar. And I still didn't feel better.

Remember when you drove us to Ryan's show cause I had such a big stupid crush on him? I vowed never to let you drive my car again because I hated the way you drove
I hate the way you drive even more now.

"The key here, I think, is to not think of death as an end. But... but... think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses"

Love and Death

Wow I'm freaking hilarious. Aren't I?

anyways....

I miss you. A lot. well that's a lie.
I'm not at home
so I don't miss you
Not quite yet
But when I come home, it'll be a storm
a storm of emotion and pain

but also..
I know exactly where you are. you're in that big magical place that I like to call Heaven. And someday, I'll see you
but not for a while
cause I personally plan on living a very long time buddy boy

You know that scene at the end of Romeo and Juliet? That's not real life. You won't accidentally hit me with a sword, mike won't kiss me, I won't fumble to find the retractable dagger. I won't die. I'm still here. I'm just chilling out, observing all that you left behind. Good one.

Well, I'm sitting on my bed, watching Bekah study, and watching Diane read. I just watched a funny movie, and I laughed. But when the movie ended, I got sad again. And I just sat there for a long while, scrolling through your photos.

Man, when I see you, I'm going to kick your butt, cause this wasn't funny.

Love, Juliet, Hermia, Myrtle

PS: Don't expect me to like the RIP Tyler Flowers fbook page. I don't do RIP. It makes me think of halloween. Which is ridiculous, and cheesey. How about I just say miss you tylee??

Boyfriend is sick. Poor kid, he's got a cold. I hate getting sick, and so I bought him Day-Quil. Being sick with a cold, especially during the summer, is awful. All you want is to feel cozy and bundled up, with soup and a sweater, and all other sorts of loveliness. But during the summer, or at least, the hot part of September, your chances of getting to be cozy are pretty slim. So I feel extra bad for the guy. If it was winter, or fall, when colds are supposed to happen, I would tell him to sleep,and watch movies, and just feel better. As is, there's nothing that can make him feel all that great. Unfortunately.

He's such a sweet guy though. I told him I wanted to go to homecoming a while ago, and he was none too happy about it. But randomly today he asked me if we were still going. And I told him that I had changed my mind since I knew he didn't want to go. But then he told me he wanted to go. And that we would have fun. Even though he hates dancing. So it will be wonderful, if I don't have work :)

Oh gosh, today at work, my assistant manager pierced a four year olds ears. And she literally screamed for an hour. I didn't know what to do about it. At first I wanted to cry too, cause it made me sad, but then I just wanted to tear my hair out. Ridiculous. Anyway, I got to spend a lot of time with my friend Brittni, who works at Chick-Fil-A. We don't get to see each other a lot, and today we rode home from work together, and that southern belle bought me a grilled cheese sandwich :) Gotta love a girl who buys me grilled cheese. Mama loves her some good ol' grilled cheese.

Love, Sarai

Thanks to Carson for the fabulous pictures :)

October Leaves

Yesterday I went for a nice sunday walk with my parents along the waterfront and saw my first red leaves of the season :) Its finally started to feel like the usual rainy northwest fall that i'm used to instead of random 80 degree weather at the end of September! What was up with that?! 

Last week I got fed up with this summer weather business and made some nice fall Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk cookies.

Freaking delicious! And now that fall is here I don't have to create my own fall by baking constantly.

Peace lovelies
