Hello Non-existent reader world!
I miss blogging terribly and have decided that I am going to start again with renewed vigor! I have so much to say and so much going on that it's hard to focus on WHAT exactly to blog about. To get readers it seems I should just choose a singular topic essentially and blog about that. That seems boring to me a bit. I have a life of varied interests, hobbies, and plans that just to pick ONE topic would be leaving out 98% of the rest of my life. I want to blog about what is important to me, why it's important to me, and how I incorporate it into my life.
There is just so many things that I love to talk about and want to share...
such as (and in no particular order):
Exercise and Fitness
Healthy Eating
Working as an Art Teacher
My own Arting
MirrorWorld
Married Domestic Life
Geek Girls
Travel
Living in Phoenix
Scarves
My new Origami of the Day Calendar!
and much much more!
So I'm going to be blogging again and if I ever actually get readers we can have discussions in the comments about what you want me to blog about more of or discuss why these things I talk about in my blog are important (or unimportant) to you.
Here's to a new year of following my many passions!

We Inturrupt the Proceedings
Wow.
Hecticness. I can't believe how much has been going on.
Let me talk about last week a little. The reason there was no blog post last week was because we were at the hospital. How did we get to the said hospital? In an ambulance.
So...excitement abounds.
Let me break it down. Evan and I were eating dinner. We were in the living room eating dinner and Evan was watching Carpal Tunnel Surgery (he was researching it for himself) and he finished watching the video and told me he wasn't feeling well from the video. I turned to look at him and all of a sudden he slumps over and begins to moan, gurgle, and twitch like he is having a seizure.
I leap up shouting his name and yell that I'm calling 911. As I am dialing I run back to him, he was leaning back in the chair reclining it more as he is twitching. I am reaching to take his pulse and calling his name. I'm talking to the 911 operator as he comes to. This only lasted about 35 seconds but I'll be damned if it wasn't the longest 35 seconds of my life.
He came to and told me no ambulance that we'll just go to the ER ourselves. So I packed a bunch of stuff in a bag and got him into my car. We were driving there (it's like 3 miles away) and he did it again. This time with the words "I'm going away again" and so without crashing my car I pulled over 3 lanes to the gas station and called 911 again and had them send the ambulance.
Evan came to again and was sweating profusely. The very nice firemen paramedics came and got Evan out of my car and got info from me and then the ambulance came. and they loaded him up. I called my brother to get my car from the gas station and called Evan's mom to tell her too.
We got to the ER and then proceeded to be in the ER for 7 hours. We didn't get home to 12:30 AM.
Evan is fine though. What happened was the his body shut down after the surgery video to protect itself. The twitching was caused by his blood leaving his head and extremities.
It is a type of seizure but it didn't affect his brain or heart.
It was really the worst day of my life and I am so glad that he is okay. Our One year anniversary is on the 20th of this month and I'm happy we are going to be able to celebrate together.
I love him very much.

Growing Up
So, I'm going to be 25 in a few months.
TWENTY-FIVE.
That is a QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
Holy Crap.
The thought of this is slightly ridiculous. I mean, in my head I am always the same Sara I have always been. A busy geeky girl who likes to art and smile or try to smile even when she starts to panic about everything in life. But this seems different now, or at least slightly different.
Gone is the college Sara who would basically have a nervous breakdown a month.
Gone is the Sara who would buy loads of collectibles, comics, and CRAP.
Gone is the Sara who would make monthly outings to watch anime.
Gone is the Sara who would sit on the couch every night with her laptop while her parents watched TV.
Gone is the Sara that would seek out everything and anything Hello Kitty.
Gone is the Sara that would eat real ice cream every night with peanut butter and chocolate syrup.
Gone is the Sara that used butter. All the time. On everything.
Gone is the Sara that would do NOTHING all of the time.
Gone is the Sara that would always do what her parents wanted.
...
Life is different and so am I. So here is what Sara is now:
Here is the Sara that while she still gets overwhelmed is a helluva lot calmer about things, even when they go to pot.
Here is the Sara that has pared down everything she owns (books, dvds, manga, etc) so she can live a more relaxing and less cluttered life.
Here is the Sara that goes to friends houses and watches movies and have fun in a different geeky way.
Here is the Sara that sits on the couch with her laptop just a couple nights a week and relaxes as she pursues her interests while listening to shows that are interesting.
Here is the Sara that now owns maybe..10 things that have Hello Kitty on them? Everything is is GONE and replaced with things that don't make me feel 7.
Here is the Sara that maybe has coconut milk ice cream once a month and does not snack on 400+ calorie snacks every single night.
Here is the Sara that cooks healthy subbing in rice milk for milk, apple sauce for butter, and balsamic vinegar instead of Ranch on Salad.
Here is the Sara that goes running for 5 miles a few times a week, goes hiking, and has a gym membership that she uses on a nearly daily basis.
Here is the Sara that moved out of her brother's house, that moved into an apartment with a guy 2 months after meeting said guy, didn't get cable t.v., got a dog, joined accounts a third month later with said guy, made several financial and personal decisions, bought a house, got engaged, and got married 3 months later...without being pregnant, pretty much without her parents dictating what she was to do. She did what she thought was right and took a stand and the parents supported that.
I like this Sara, I hope she keeps getting better!
