WTF Wednesday

1. LESA, HALEY, KAITLYN AND CASEY WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!

What everyone else's friends are like:


what my friends are like:


2. It was 17 degrees when I left for work this morning


3. My biggest pet peeve at work is when people call, tell me they missed a call from our number and then go silent.  So I say "okay, do you know who called you?"  "no, I just have a missed call"  "um, okay well that could be over 50 people, so unless they left a voicemail I don't know who called you"  "can't you just ask around?"

Sure sir, let me stop what I am doing, and go around and ask/call over 50 different people to see who called you.  I would stab a candy cane through your eyeball if you were standing in front of me.


4. Adam Levine was elected (that's not the right word, but you know what I mean) DECLARED, thats better.  Adam Levine was declared SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.  And all I can say is GROSS!  I have an awkward obsession with hating Adam Levine.  I don't know what it is about him but he just grosses me out.  I know many of my friends have awkward obsessions with LOVING him (CASEY) but I just don't see it.  AT ALL.  Lets just say he wont be making my Heart Throb Friday cut.

I guess I will try to not hate him so much because if Blake Shelton loves him, I guess I can too.

Heart Throb Friday Girl Edition

I wasn't sure who I wanted to highlight for heart throb Friday, then I remembered...Jennifer Lawrence is HOT, and I'm obsessed with her, so lets tell a story while also highlighting how awesome she is.

CATCHING FIRE!  I'm so excited I could just pee myself.



I have to wait until I can see it with my mom (or she might kill me).  So she better show up for thanksgiving like she says she is, otherwise I'm hitting the theaters solo.  Reviews are coming in and THEY ARE GOOD!  Not that a bad review would deter me from seeing my woman crush on the big screen but it does make me more excited than ever to see the movie.  Review here.

Also, if you are in love with Jennifer Lawrence as much as I am, watch this:

I'm throwing Henry a 30th bday party NEXT weekend, I'm really hoping people show up or its business as usual with the Peruvians, Henry and I just drinking in the barn together playing horseshoes and eating lamb.

On Monday it was incredibly slippery on the roads, I of course think I'm an excellent driver, so of course, I slide off the road.  I didn't tell Henry this part (and he rarely reads my blog) but as I took the exit for work, I turned one way but my car kept sliding straight, and I said "well this is happening" and BAM, I hit the middle curb divider, thank god it wasn't anything higher or I would have been SCREWED.  Car is running fine, learned my lesson without any major repercussions.

 I'm also pretty effing excited for all my Ca peeps coming to town next week.  We will act like we are 19 years old again and annoy the crap out of anyone within a 10 mile radius of us.  Should be good times, especially when there is alcohol involved.

and we always act our age.

Happy Friday everyone, remember.  Keep it classy, just like Jennifer.

Oh and totally unrelated but I saw this on facebook this week, I literally laughed so hard I cried:  Its 15 minutes of AMAZING-NESS!!!

Its Ab'oot Time, eh? I'm engaged!

Did you get my Canadian reference there?  Eh?  Henry and I had to go to Canada last week for sheep meetings, etc.  Little did I know he was also planning on proposing, well "planning" is an overstatement.  He stuck the ring in his bag in hopes of a "moment" arising to pop the question.

The Canadian border is about 6 hours from Billings so we headed up in hopes of getting close enough to stay the night in the US and head over the border first thing in the morning.  Talk about an interrogation!  Henry mentioned that he knew of a few rodeo cowboys that couldn't get over the border and I assumed it was because they stole horses or has smuggled too much Copenhagen... but apparently these border patrol officers are just mean!  I was driving (which I now regret) and this lady asked about 500 questions, where we were from, where we were going, what were we doing, who were we seeing, what is our IQ, who is our favorite actor, which way do we hang the toilet paper on the roll... I mean it got a little ridiculous (might have fabricated a few questions to enhance my story).  At one point I think my voice cracked and I started shaking but she let us cross the border... finally.

Once in Canada we headed to Picture Butte a little town outside of Lethbridge where we toured a cattle and sheep feedlot.  That night we went out to dinner in Lethbridge and ate in an old water tower, it was SO COOL.  I saw it earlier in the day and thought it was just used as a billboard, but apparently they renovated and made it into a restaurant at the top.  It was really delicious food too.  Ric's Grill, go there.


Next day we went up to Acme and toured another sheep feed lot that was EXTREMELY interesting, if you ever want me to tell you about it, ask.  I'll spare your reading eyes.  Once done there we had the afternoon off until our next meeting the following day.  So, I had looked around at what was near us for our "vacation afternoon" and headed to Banff National Park outside of Calgary.

This is what Lake Louise looks like during the summer: not real right?


Also if you are an avid Bachelor fan like Henry me you might remember it from the Bachelor Sean season when they did a polar bear dip and Tierra (the crazy one) thought she died of hypothermia and caused a big scene (dramatic much).

I asked Henry if he wanted to jump in, but he decided against that and stood here instead:

little did I know there is a ring in his pocket!

 We walked around a bit, laughed at some tourists taking 500 pictures of an animal and as we start walking away from the lake Henry says "So, do you want the rest of your birthday present?" and he pulls a little box out of his pocket, and well you know how the rest goes.... YAY!  It was weird because I am a BIG crier, I cry during TV commercials on the reg.  So I was really surprised by my reaction, I was so shocked and super excited that I just stared at the ring and Henry's smiling face to even react to what was even going on!  It was all very exciting and I am just overwhelmed with happiness, I'm that girl I want to punch in the face from being so overly love drunk.  WOO HOO!

And a beautiful ring it is...

I call these my Umpa Loompa fingers

I'm pretty obsessed with it, stare at it all the time.  I LOVE IT.  The style is so me.

So once I calmed down I realized I needed a picture of us in front of the lake!  I found a tiny little Asian girl, who didn't speak any English to take our picture.  She did pretty good too!

Perfection

Henry's side of the story is that I planned my own proposal since it was my idea to go to Banff, if he had it his way he would have proposed at the sheep feed lot.  The whole thing was very "us" I planned it without knowing and he got to wear his muck boots and work gloves while visiting sheep ranches along the way.  He says if he would have planned anything I would have known something was up... and that is true.  It all worked out to be a perfect proposal for our relationship.

I'm so happy I found a partner to share my life with and start a family.  Looking forward to our wedding NEXT SUMMER!  Hope all you crazy Californians are up for a Montana adventure!

Heart Throb Friday - Saved by the Bell

I know Zack Morris has a real name in real life, but do we really care?  No...

Saved by the Bell has to be one of the greatest shows ever.  Here are 5 reasons why:

1. the wink


2. Innocent Dance moves




3. this look


4. the phone


5. the fashion



okay okay, his real name is Mark Paul Gosselaar, but Zack is so much more appealing right??
He has still continued acting, thank god.  He is still very good looking, although I'm not digging the long hair.





Fun random fact, his ex wife is remarried to Survivor host Jeff Probst.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND PEOPLE!

I'll be attempting not to fall down and keeping my hand out of the candy jar.

Is he Portuguese?

As we all know, I sometimes say really dumb things.  In all honestly, I try to be smart, but stupid things escape my mouth for unknown reasons (I can usually blame wine).  Recently I think I really confused some Montanans... on accident.



A couple weeks ago on my 28th 18th Birthday I went out to lunch with Henry's cousins Jalea and Jill.  I was asking Jill about her boyfriend and she said he was a Bullfighter.  I immediately ask:

"Is he Portuguese?"

Now, this might seem like a strange question (looking back now) because not everyone has lived central California and been to an infamous Portuguese Bull Fight.  Those of you that have been know, that anyone who is a "Bullfighter" is Portuguese, OR Spanish of some sort.  RIGHT?  Speaking of which, if you have never seen a suicide squad in action, I highly recommend it. 

Anyway, back to my story.  I was watching TV the other day and there was a special on about "Bullfighters" and I thought oh! wait... Thats... not... a... bull.. fighter... omg... that's what a bullfighter is???????

When you say "BULLFIGHTER" in Montana:
Its those nice guys that save the BullRIDER from being seriously injuried

When you say "BULLFIGHTER" in California (or Spain, or Mexico):
Its those pretty men that dress up and whip a cape around

Apparently "Rodeo Clown" is not the appropriate term... NOTED!

Now I look back at that conversation with Jill and think, I wonder what the hell she thought when I asked RANDOMLY if her boyfriend was Portuguese.

So, Bullfighter vs Rodeo Bullfighter, write that down.

Also, to add idiocy to myself even more, Jill works in the Rodeo industry, so if I would have stopped, thought, processed, I would have come to the conclusion that her boyfriend was not a Portuguese Bullfighter, but in fact a Rodeo Clown Bullfighter.

Here's Jill's Boyfriend, being a badass BULLFIGHTER

F U gravity, and F U snow

I was SO EXCITED that snow was expected in our forecast.  I remember waking up early in the morning as a child if I saw snow on the ground I was ecstatic, and not just because chances were school was cancelled.  I love snow, or at least I did until yesterday.  

We got a fair amount of snow out at the ranch (its hard to tell how much snow you get because wind makes it accumulate).  NORMALLY when it snows, its slippery, DUH?  So what does an uncoordinated, accident prone person do when it snows?  THEY WEAR SNOW SHOES to eliminate risk of falling on their face.  Well, not this smarty pants, no.  What did I decide to wear?  My cutest pair of fashion boots that have ZERO traction.  As I am leaving the house I said to Henry "I'm probably going to fall today" his reply:

"not with those tiny steps you take"

OHHHHH WELL GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT?! (and I really didn't want to be).  ME.

Let me back up slightly.  I have posted about my family's inability to walk without falling down.

I will have days when I cannot keep a single thing in my hand without dropping it.

you name it: coffee, cereal (one time I smacked a box of rice krispies ALL OVER THE KITCHEN, I'm never making rice krispie treats again), I often scramble eggs without even trying since they fall on the floor.  When I worked at a bar in college I would break AT LEAST 3-5 glasses a night, its a wonder why I was still employed there.  Anyway, you get the picture, hand over your babies at your own risk.

So after coming back from lunch yesterday I walk through the front doors of the store I work at.  I get a good 6 paces in and I'm not 100% sure what happened other than I took a good tumble.  And when I say tumble I mean I ate shit.  Bad.  You know what's great about working in a retail store?  Security Cameras.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, not only is my pride bruised from the incident, but everyone got to re-watch and witness my incredible gracefulness.  Unfortunately for you with formatting all I could muster up was a screen shot.  The picture speaks a THOUSAND words.  And yes, feel free to laugh.  Because its all I can manage to do.

IN MY DEFENSE, I was only practicing my Wicked Witch of the East costume.



All in all, two of my coworkers ran to my aid and picked me up and got me back on my feet.  I twisted my ankle pretty good, but besides being a little sore I'd say my pride took the biggest beating.  So, in honor my my fall, I wanted to share some others falling too, because, as the saying goes "misery loves company" and since I dont have the actual video of my fall, these three are the best depictions I could find.

Safe travels everyone.

Wickedy Wack Wednesday

1. Henry and I only argue about three things.  

1) who is the better basketball player (obviously me)
2) how I squeeze the toothpaste tube (I'll leave that to your imagination, I will admit its not "correct")
3) where all the coffee mugs disappear to.

The other day Henry took the Peruvians into Goodwill for some winter clothes, while he was there he bought 4 travel mugs because the 234 we have at home is never enough.  I'm convinced there are 13 under the seats of his pickup and he is convinced I hide them in various locations.  WELL the other morning he asked where they all were, and my reply was "probably in your truck!"  Well... I came to work and checked the break room... where I found 5 travel mugs.  I was so embarrassed I snuck them into the house so Henry didn't know where they miraculous came from... until my boss saw Henry yesterday and says "tell Sara to take those mugs home more often"  THANKS BOSS

oops

2. Walking Dead started Sunday, WHO'S EXCITED?  This girl.  This girl. and apparently 16.1 Million people.  I'm in a fight with my coworker Lovely over our favorite character.  I OBVIOUSLY chose Darryl, she is team Rick, which I just don't understand.  Rick is annoying.

3. In honor of Halloween, I found this fitting.

Now…

4. Reason #145 why I never wash my car.  Got on the freeway yesterday after work and my car starts vibrating, like "wait this isn't normal" vibrate.  So I call the Chevy dealer in Laurel and see that they close at 5pm, luckily some money hungry saleman answered, he transferred me to service and the guy said to swing on by... after a test drive and inspection they said mud had built up so much in my tires between the rims that it was putting weird weight on my car causing the shaking... PHEW, so then they power washed the mud out for me as I kept saying "THANK YOU I'M SORRY I'M SURE YOU WANT TO GO HOME AND NOT SPRAY MUD OUT OF A DUMB GIRLS CAR" they were so nice, about 4 guys were helping me, apparently they really had nothing to do or I looked really good yesterday. I'll think the latter.  Anyway, they didn't charge me anything, so I'm taking them some yummy desserts today at lunch to thank them for being overall awesome pants.  I'm never washing my car again.

5. I had two visitors in the last two weeks, April was here at the beginning of the month for a couple days and it snowed just for her.  Then Cortnie was here this past weekend.  Everyone at my work was very surprised I have two friends.  Now I'm just wondering... WHO'S COMING TO VISIT ME THIS WEEKEND??  ANYONE?  jk... guess I'll have to wait for November to roll around when Lesa, Casey, Haley, Kaitlyn, Ms. Henderson (aka my mom) and hopefully Drew and my Bro will grace us with their presence.  I LOVE VISITORS!

who wouldn't want to come visit me?

if you come visit me I can usually guarantee a puppy will play with you, snow will fall on you, and you will ride a horse (length of ride dependent on individual) and you will see lots and lot and lots of sheep.

we got matching sweatshirts made, you say lame?  I say AWESOME
