heavens, it's November already!

Heavens! It's November and I haven't written anything since September. School and now work has taken over our lives! Even though we are deeply grateful for jobs, they seem to suck up the little weekend we have left after school.


Molly now works at Polo Ralph Lauren and I work at Indulge Salon. Any free time we have is spent grocery shopping and studying for school. Next week we start working on REAL clients on the clinic floor. O_O


I am currently obsessed with the song "Heaven Is The Face" by Steven Curtis Chapman. It's so sad yet somehow full of hope. Gah =P


I have already started listening to Christmas music, obviously. I love Christmas more than any kid. I don't know why, it's always been such a huge part of Winter for me. I love the music, I love the food, I love the clothes, I love the candy canes, I love the decorations, I love the holiday spirit, I love when shops are decorated for Christmas. I just LOVE it! :)


Wow, obsessed much? hahaha


love you all,
Sarah <3

Money isn't everything but it's sure as heck a whole lotta something.

So Molly Dolly and I have interviews at the Salon Salon in Orlando on Thursday morning :D We really want these jobs and it would mean more than we expected as far as pay. So it's happy :)


Today at school we did so many things concerning curls its not even funny -_- I think I am curled out. I seriously could never learn another thing about curls and I would be perfectly fine. But we are starting Perms tomorrow and Relaxers, so that's good. The only reason it's good is that we have to do a Perm or Relaxer on a real human being a WEEK from tomorrow. O_O It's craziness!! So if anyone wants to fly down here for a Perm or Relaxer, be my guest. Because I still do not have a model for that. eh hem. -_-


But anywho, I should go read my home"play" and go to BED!


love you all! :)

what a boring Labor Day

So today was a bust. I didn't really labor, and I didn't really relax. It was like a .. day between a free day and a regular day. It was weird. I did laundry and thought about life. And burnt enchilladas and toast. And made pretty decent manicotti. I wrote an extensive novel about life. And I tried to find a new vehicle because mine is dying. :( I would really like a Ford Edge, but since I have no job and no money, I'll have to wait a while for that =P

But speaking of jobs, I received a phone call today from a salon up in Altamonte Springs. They are interested in me working about 10 hours a week, just on weekends, as an Assistant Salon Manager. Not too sure what all that entails, but its something! I am also supposed to hear from another salon about being an assistant, which would be ideal. I would make minimum wage, but I would also get cash tips every night, and some assistants take home as much as 80 a night, just in tips. So that would be AMAZING. Margaret, the salon manager, is supposed to call me this week, so I'll keep everyone apprised of that situation.

And just to let everyone know, I love music. A lot. Like a lot, a lot. Sheesh, it's pretty amazing. :)

Gala. 5:13-15 (NLT) is my verse for this week: "For you have been called to live in freedom- not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: Love your neighbor as yourself. But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another."

Also, this past Sunday, Pastor Uth preached about the fruits of the Spirit. We can't just say, "oh, I need more peace!" or, "I need more patience". We have to want more JESUS. Through wanting more of Him, we can receive more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, thankfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The fruit of the spirit is a package; they all come together when we want more of Jesus! :)

some thoughts!

So I was cruising through some other blogs today and found this particular one very interesting. I hope when I'm almost 50 I can have the same view on life as this man does.

"I was born at 7:36 a.m. on the 12th day of July, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Sixty. According to my mother, I nearly died at birth. Due to some complications (which my mother would have to explain), I wasn't breathing. The nurses dipped me in warm water and then in cold in order to make me breathe, as the traditional fanny slap just wouldn't do the trick. But breathe I did, screaming out at the top of my lungs. I haven't shut up since.

I was born in the tiny community of Clayton, New Mexico, about a mile above sea level, about 35 miles south of Colorado and about ten miles from the borders of both the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. I opened my eyes to the world of the Great Plains. Looking north across those plains, a person could see blues skies and the Rabbit Ears. And that's about it.

I was born to working class parents, Baptists and Wesleyan Methodists who were married in a Pentecostal Holiness church. They were border dwellers of the Hi-Lo country, living in Texline, Texas, but working (and bringing me into the world) in New Mexico. My Dad quit smoking while driving my mother to the hospital for my arrival.

I was born fortunate enough to know all my grandparents and five of my great-grandparents, losing my last grandmother only after I myself had become a grandfather.

I was born on July 12. Which means that I am honored to share my birthday with Julius Caesar, Henry David Thoreau, George Washington Carver, Buckminster Fuller, Pablo Neruda, and Van Cliburn.

I was born nine minutes before the same doctor delivered another baby boy in the same hospital. I have wondered, once or twice, who this other fellow is, nine minutes my junior, and how he's doing in life.

I was born for a reason and a purpose. We all are. One of the great joys in life is in coming to a peace about who you are and why you are here. I'm still on the prowl for the meaning of it all. And perhaps the search for meaning and joy is a good chunk of the point. In Surprised By Joy, C.S. Lewis writes about "..the quality... of an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction."

I was born, if for no other reason, for the journey."

I think my favorite part of his whole post is, "I was born, if for no other reason, for the journey." We so often get caught up on the here and now, and we get frustrated when what we want doesn't happen NOW. I think that by living for the journey, rather than for the destination or the origin, we can be more content with where and what they destination is.

Just a thought :)

Just keep swimming!

Greetings all.

I visited my fam the past two days. How I blessed I am to have them just an hour away! As Joy and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie, I leaned on her shoulder and she looked at me and said, "Molly, I'm not a pillow, I'm a human being." Imagine that coming out of a tiny three-year old's mouth. It was hilarious. Oh, I love my sibs. I brought K & T back to the Sugar Shack with me and we all watched Finding Nemo. :D

"No eating here tonight. No eating here tonight. We're on a diet!"

There's A Bug In The Apartment

Hello all TWO of our subscribers! :D

Molly and I went swimming today... it was hot, so every time we got out to sun, 15 minutes later we got right back in the pool. I am so glad we have a pool though. We have been so bored its not even funny. We have nothing to do because we have no jobs and no friends. We are getting all dressed up now because there is a concert at the church tonight, and we are ecstatic for the chance to get out of the apartment! Its pitiful, really.

Last night we recorded our first podcast, entitled "Our First Podcast". It is pretty pathetic, but I shall upload it here so that you can enjoy our silliness and pathetic-ness with us.

From: Molly (aka J.A.)

Hola!

Already 2 weeks since we've moved and we still remain unemployed. The local grocery store isn't even able to offer us a source of income, which we so desperately need! Every Day Deserves a Chance by Max Lucado has been the book I've delved into as of late (you should read it!). The last chapter was about Darius pleading with Jesus to save his daughter from her terminal illness. He believed that God cared enough to heal his daughter; he believed that God could save his daughter. Where Darius fell short was if he had enough faith that Jesus would come save his daughter. It's always seemed to me that when the very last flicker of hope is burned out, Jesus goes above and beyond all that we had originally asked of Him and yet again, causes our hearts to wonder, "How could I have ever doubted Him?" Jesus cares. Jesus can. Jesus comes.

So I'd ask that you please pray that we will find well-paying jobs so we're able to pay our rent on time, and also that we find at least one other Christian classmate! That would be fabulous.

:)

More later.

I am Johnny Appleseed!

This is Molly and I being... well, us =P

Enjoy!

Our Very First Post.

Why hello!

This is our attempt to keep everyone updated on our sometimes exciting (yet pathetic) lives at the Sugar Shack. (thats our lovely name for our apartment :D) We hope that at least a few people subscribe, as it would add to our pathetic-ness if we were subscriber-less. :(

So with that in mind, please don't expect much from our blog, but we guarantee that it will provide you with much amusement :)
