Newer updates are in pink...
Time once again for another installment of Days of our Lives. Oh wait, that's not it. It's Sarah's turn to be introduced to the world - isn't she lucky? This is important because it means that we are now more than halfway through meeting everyone. I know you are all anxious for this to be done...
This is Sarah, or so she claims. This is what happens when I let her pick the picture. Dad thinks that it looks like a whale farting from behind her. I like to think that she is channeling her inner Medusa and we musn't see her face or we will turn to stone. Sarah said I wasn't allowed to call her Cousin It. This is me not calling her Cousin It. What other captions can we come up with for this image? Leave your ideas in the comments...
Sarah is a seasoned cruiser. She has been on six cruises in the past, and has another planned for January 2009. She's been all over the Caribbean, but also on two 14 day cruises - one through the Panama Canal to California, and the other a transatlantic cruise to Barcelona. All of her cruises, however, have been on Disney so the Alaska trip will be a big adjustment for her. I know it pains her to try out a new line. She wasn't able to give me a favorite cruise - but equally loved the 14 days trips. This is hardly surprising, who wouldn't like 14 day cruise. Looking at her list, as of January 2009, Sarah (and Steve, too, I suppose) will have spent 57 days cruising since 2003. Someone needs to find a new way to vacation, she is a bit of a cruise snob. Well, not a bit of one, she is one. And I'm pretty sure she'll admit it. She does really want to vacation in Italy. I'm totally on board for that.
She does have amusing stories to tell about the monkeys in Gibraltar. Apparently Steve was a wee bit nervous around them. Those monkeys can be sneaky, you know. This reminds me, I forgot to mention in Dad's story his great fear of bears in Yosemite. Since we may encounter bears in Alaska, this is a real concern we must all prepare for. Back to Sarah, she also likes visiting Castaway Cay, especially when she steps on sea urchins. Sarah takes a lot of pictures while on vacation. If you ask Dad, all the pictures are of water or clouds. I guess she won't be on sole picture duty in Alaska. Dad's will be of mountains and more mountains, with some glaciers thrown in.
Sarah is also a spoiled cruiser. She only stays in the expensive/balcony staterooms. She has to be the first to try out a new cruise. That might be a bit more tricky now that you quit your job at Disney. I'm still flabbergasted by that decision. Don't you know that we use you for your perks? My feelings for you are not quite so positive anymore. I did just think of a really good benefit of Sarah no longer working for Disney. Steve and I can now apply for the Amazing Race. Sweet! I don't think they have ever done the "in-law" angle. This is totally an area they should explore. I'll have more fun things to add to this idea when it's Steve's turn. Another example of spoiled Sarah would be the fabulously funny daily updates I've sent her on her last few cruises. I promise you here and now that I will not do so on your January cruise. You haven't even seen fit to share the dates of that trip yet with your family. Hmpf.
Sarah has some fears about this trip of ours. She worries most about Sophie - let's be honest, she will be 15 months - not exactly the ideal age for long bus/train/plane trips. Should be fun. Or something. At least if I'm hanging out with Sophie and she starts to act up, I can pass her off to her mother. At least Sarah doesn't have to worry about sea urchins. But watch out for those bears. They are sneaky little buggers. And running in zig-zag doesn't save you from them. But some good news for you - there are no velociraptors in Alaska, so that's a plus.
I don't feel like I am being sarcastic enough with Sarah. I may have to devote a Part B to her. Isn't she lucky?!?! She filled out the Inside the Actor's Studio questionnaire for me. Some of her more entertaining answers: she really doesn't like Microsoft. It's both her least favorite word and what turns her off. She loves the sound of Sophie laughing, no shocker there. She and I share a sound that turns us off - cats hacking up hairballs. I don't know about her cats, but mine seems to only do so in the middle of the night. It is a god awful noise. It's especially fun when I can't find where she coughed it up. Ew. The time I found it in my bed was especially gross. Sarah would like to run a cupcake bakery. She makes the most awesome frosting. I could just eat that plain. She would least like to be an Alaskan crab fisherman. I can't say I blame her, but I'm sure she won't turn down the opportunity to eat some crab on the trip.
Sarah is also cute and single. Oh wait, one of those two things isn't true. I'll leave it for you to decide which it is...
That's about it for now with Sarah. Like I said earlier, I may add to this when I think of better things to say. I feel a bit off my game tonight. It could be that I am watching the final debate and distracted by the ratings ticker on the bottom of the screen. It's hypnotizing. The debate itself, not so much. I can't wait for this to be done. In the meantime, we can all look forward to meeting Sophie next. She still hasn't responded to my questions. And I thought she was supposed to be smart. Hmpf.

and if you send me hilarious updates every day, maybe i'll make you some frosting...;)
between midterms and the inauguration (not of governor winky), i'm just swamped that week...
you'll make me frosting anyway ;)
it's a short week - there's a holiday. so i am sure you can find the time...and i might make you some frosting, we shall have to see.
how quickly attitudes change when one quits their job. you'll still be making that frosting for my birthday visit ;)
i may be willing to compromise, though. maybe i'll send you an update every couple of days...
i'm sure we can negotiate an acceptable settlement all around...
i hope so. however, i refuse to agree to a series of town hall debates.
then it's your fault when my campaign gets negative.
you're the one who associates with terrorists; what does that say about your character?
that is an insult and i am waiting for you to repudiate the remarks made by your supporters
who said anything about my supporters, this was all me. me and joe the plumber, that is...
i do not think that is the change we need, missy!
your negativity is causing your poll numbers to drop dramatically. perhaps you should try a new tactic.
no one intelligent believes polls; they're full of fraud. besides, i'm the comeback queen. just like the red sox!
(do you get the feeling no one else is reading these comments?)
no one intelligent relies on making a comeback when the odds are so obviously stacked against them, including the red sox.
(yes, i got that feeling early on. how sad for the rosenblog haters.)
Okay.... that does it.....
I'm writing in Sophie's name on my ballot.....
clearly, you are wrong about the red sox, just as you are wrong about me...
clearly i was not wrong about the sox, just as i'm not wrong about you.
hmm...i will be the grown up one, and i will concede. as long as i get my hilarious updates.
if i get my frosting.
>> Dad thinks that it looks like a whale farting from behind her.
That was the 3rd of five captions I offered, and not my favorite. Here are all five:
1) And a great wind arose and hid the face of Ha’shem
2) If you could run backwards as fast as I can, you could do this too.
3) It’s not my fault. A whale jumped up and farted behind me.
4)If you think hiding my face was easy, remember I’m standing on the *tail* of the ship.
5) My hairdresser said this was the ‘in’ look. And I believed her.
(Actually, I like #4 best. Think about it....)
