Hello Everyone,
I know when some of you read that title you may have cringed a little and I don't blame you. Three years of avoiding the dentist is a long time. Last time I was at the dentist it was for an emergency extraction and yes my loves, that was 3 years ago. Over the last three years, I have had alot of random things happen to my teeth. I have two wisdom teeth that have rotted and slowly fallen apart. This morning I woke up with a piece of the tooth in my mouth and my life changed. After my avoiding the dentist for 3 years, I knew it was time. You can only avoid something for so long before you have to face it whether you want to or not. Anyways, I finally have benefits so that part is covered, now it's all about getting through the pain of possible root canals and most likely extractions involving my two rotten wisdom teeth. Anyways, Im off to brush my teeth so my densist doesn't know I had pizza for lunch...
Later Gates (gators),
Love Sarah

A Little Life Update
Hello friends,
Again, sorry for my absence lately. Life has got me so busy and all over the place lately. Almost every weekend I am doing something, some good, some bad. This weekend however is my work weekend. Blah! Nobody likes work and if you do then your are just a sad human being. Lol I kid, work pays off eventually and by 'eventually' I mean like when your 65 and can retire. I work in the customer service sector and I gotta say, people are major jerks. They look at you like you are the scum of the earth. And don't even get me started on the customers who don't get their way. Eesh! It's like ripping a child's teeth out when you tell them no.
"But there it's cheaper on your website!!" they whine.
"The websites American".
They huff and puff. I look at them like they are annoying me (wait, not 'like', they are annoying me).
"But the dollar is equal!!!" Sometimes I want to punch people in the face, sue me!!!
"Well, The is CANADA and in case you haven't noticed, I DO NOT OWN THIS COMPANY, BECAUSE IF I DID, I SURE AS HECK WOULD NOT BE HERE ARGUING WITH YOU ABOUT WHY CANADA'S PRICES SUCK."
The last part is implied but not actually said.
I hate retail sometimes, but when you gotta pay off credit cards that have been haunting you for 4 years, the choices are limited.
What else have I been up to? hmm...let me think, oh yeah, I have this disease called 'the Cleaning Bug'. I used to be such a dirty person, and I was okay with it. That is until I realized it's gross and I need to be clean. I used to let my room fester in piles of clothing and dirty sheets for weeks. My Mom would always close my door when guest came over. My room was like the place where dust goes to die, a dust bunny grave yard, if you will. Now that I am in my mid-twenties, cleaning has become a big deal to me. I hate seeing anything dirty and when I get my 'girly time' I become Molly Maid, Mary Poppins and Nanny McFee on bloody steroids! For example, I just literally took my vacuum, mop and bleach into my basement and cleaned it from corner to corner. I could eat off my basement floor now, not that I would, but I could if I had to.
I took a huge step last week when I deleted a guy who I had been doting on for years off my facebook. I wrote a half a post regarding this douche. He basically had me on a string for 3 years. Leading me to believe that one day, ONE DAY he would be open to a relationship. Like the naive, romantic fool that I am, I believed him. After leading me to believe that he finally wanted to get together he suddenly cancelled our plans and then fell off the facebook planet for two months. He the proceeded to go out of his way to ask my sister for my number and texts me that he was officially taken, as in he now had a girlfriend. To make matters worse, the girl he is dating is a girl that he ranted to me about, saying something to the effect of, she is creepy, desperate and old. Then he decides to date her. Here I am, a girl who is ready and willing to be in a relationship with him, despite that fact that he has been stringing me along for 3 years and he chooses the desperate and old chick? Am I really that horrid? I personally think I am relatively attractive but noooooooo, he chooses the one who is creepy, desperate AND old!! Anyways, after him and her spamming my facebook with their happy couple pictures (GAG!), I finally had enough. On to bigger and better things right?
So, that's my update. Sorry about all the ranting but I needed to let y'all know. Thanks for reading guys and talk soon.
Love,
ME

Life Update & Mindless jibber jabber
Hello everyone,
Longtime, no write, I know but life has been utter ciaos let me tell you. I lost interest in the 'saving' and 'paying bills' aspect when my bills went under control. I am still working at it but things are consistent and working out for the better these days. Today, I am going to give you a little update on my life recently. Let me warn you, some things will shock you. Let me start....
Around April, my 70 year old father was admitted into a long term care facility due to dementia and other diseases. This was not easy for anyone. Prior to his admittence, he was getting into everything, falling down stairs, soiling clothes and his bed and such. My mother suffers from her own illnesses and disabilities and this made things extra difficult for myself and my sister. When he was admitted, I think we all went through a little guilt over the fact that people accused us of "shoving him in a home". Some people (including family members) thought it was a way of reliving ourselves of the responsibility. It's easy to feel like maybe deep down inside that is the reason. After talking to eachother and praying alot, we came to a conclusion. No one knows the circumstances of our life. Some family member even turn their back on the fact and pretend that we are the ones with the wrong ideas. Trying to explain our feelings to people is like trying to decribe the color green. Unless you see for yourself, nothing will make sense.
Now, prepare yourself for the story of the summer. Many of my friends already know about this story but here it is for those of you who may not know. The beginning of July, my sister, mom and myself decided to head to the beach. The beach we go to is about an hour from where we live. Now my car was never in the greatest shape but we never though things would go this bad. As I drove up the highway about 30 minutes from house, I see that my battery light is flickering. I make the executive decision that I am going to pull to the side for fear that my car will break down in the middle of the highway. So, s I check my rearview mirror to get over, I see billowing smoke coming from the back end of my car. as I put the car in park and turn of the engine, smoke beins to seep through my air vents. That was clear sign that we needed to get out. We all got out and as we walk away from the car, I notice flames sitting at the base of my car. For some reason my first reaction was the pop the hood and just as I was abut the run for it, my mom grabs my arm and says we need to run the other way. I listened and I am glad we did because at that moment the car consumed with flames. My heart sank! I had left my cell in the car and starting panicing because someone clearly needed to call the fire department. I started frantically waving people down and no one would stop! I mean no one! People are real jerks sometime. Like they see three frantic women and a car on fire and they wont stop. I have a word for people like that but lets keep it PG. Finally a lady stops, rolls down the window and tell us to get in. She starts reversing....and as we move away, my car is engolfed. I think at that moment, I wanted to cry but the tears werent coming. Partly because we could have been killed if we had waited a moment longer to get out of that car. And also because my car was in flames and I was helpless. That car was alot to us. It was the first reliable car my parents could ever afford, it had been my mode of work transport for 7 years and now it was gone. Alot happened that day, but this post would go on for days. First there was panic, then shock and then tears. I miss my old car and the bus life sucks, but i am glad we all made it out alive.
Also, we moved! After 23 years in our town house we moved. It was crazy leaving that old place! There were so many memories in that shack. I was not as upset leaving as I thought I would be but at one point I did have a nervous breakdown about how small my room was. But that was it.
Anyways guys, that's all for today. The last 6 months have been a journey but I always remeber this, life will get crazy but sometimes the crazier the life, the better the stories. ;)
Love,
Sarah
