To me, it's a glorious day when it rains and pours all up in Happy Valley, UT. I'm not a big fan of the desert. Most people seem to love the warm, gross air. I prefer the slightly blustery, rainy, overcast days. For a few days, I was craving sun, when winter seemed like it would never end. Then I remembered I dislike summer, and think fall is perfect. So that ended that pretty fast. Right now all I want to do is buy duck boots, and wear my maxi skirts, and cuddle up under a blanket with a chunky knit sweater on. That's it folks.
Lately, I've been contemplating the idea of moving to DC after I graduate. I can just imagine how fun it would be to live there. Not that it's a plan, but I just keep seeing other bloggers there, and I see how beautiful it is, and I find myself wanting to be there. Or New York even. But NY, although I love it, is a little bit too fast-paced for me, maybe. Or maybe just too crowded? I don't know. I'm all a flutter with new ideas. WHICH reminds me. I have a great idea for a new creative video that I will be making very shortly. I hope you're excited! Because I am :)
Love, Sarai

If you feel the spirit today, be sure to leave a holler in the comments, because this song gets me every time
Life is obviously going great, at the moment. I made rolo cookies, dressed like a lazy bum for work today (disclaimer-I was wearing a sports bra the entire day), and I realized how lucky I am to be in constant contact with my sweet boy. I miss him greatly, but soon I'll get to see him. Soon as in, Tuesday. I'm literally wiggling with excitement. You should see it. The funny thing about us is that we're not overly mushy in general. But we bring it out in each other. Observe: last night when he asked what we should talk about, I said, how much we love each other. Is this me?!!?! I don't understand! I'm a melting puddle of girl when I talk to him. Oy vey
I've been absent. The truth is, Nancy has kept this blog from dying while I dealt with a lost camera (as you can see, it's still missing), acclimating to a new world, acclimating a new red Betta to my world, adjusting to a new boss, and dealing with emotional turmoil. Okay, not really. My only emotional turmoil has been the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. So sad, so sad. You know what else is sad? That I've started watching the Bachelorette. I'm ashamed but what else is there to watch during the summer? Nada. NADA.
So my fish. I pretty much love him already. And for the past few minutes I've been working on training him. I'm going to teach him to eat one of his little foods off my finger. And then to play fetch. Okay, I know that's not happening. But it'd be pretty cool, right? Right now, in his lil fishbowl, George is floating past my computer, giving me his lil fish eyes, hoping for attention. Best friends
His twin, Fred Weasley, is blue, and is owned by roommate. So he's right across the room from us right now.

I just can't get past Rihanna and Coldplay doing a song together... And I can't get past how cool I feel whenever I start wanting something (like a white button-up and a white skirt) the next week I see the exact outfit on someone's pinterest or blog. I'm hip yo.
By the way, my cousin has a website called Runaway Houseboat that's basically a collection of writings from him and some friends. He wrote a piece this past week called "Man, Dress like a Man, Man". It's quite lovely and I echo his sentiments exactly. Go check it out!
