doo doo doo lookin' out my back door

sooo what's new in the life of sarah. not much. i'm going to tweetsie tomorrow and i'm really excited about that. i know it's a place for little kids...but it's so much fun watching the kids' reactions to tweetsie. i'm meeting my aunt and uncle there and their five year old, daniel. it should be loads of fun. :)

hmm...work sucked tonight. i didn't have to work but curtis called and wanted me to cover for him...and since it's virtually impossible for me to say no to something...i said yes and wound up working the late shift. i was really hoping i could get home in time for real world...and i was happy when amber said i could start cleaning up at 9. but of course what happens? EVERYONE IN THE WORLD has to have pizza then. EVERYONE. soooo annoying. i finally got home at 10:20...caught ten minutes of it. oh well. it's not like mtv doesn't show repeats of everything...lol.

i think it would be really cool if i could write a book. that's what i'd love to do. i really like writing and i'm constantly coming up with stories in my head..i just lack the attention to actually put down the stories on paper. it would be awesome if every summer i could just sit down and type and write a book. i think i would either write for middle/high schoolers or young adults just cause...right now, that's the tone of voice i have in my head...maybe it will mature as i get older...but i hope not..i like me the way i am.

i've been thinking lately...i really miss being in a military atmosphere. it was always nice seeing people in uniform all the time..i don't know why...but it's just comforting to me. i miss seeing my dad come home from work everyday in his uniform...his scrubs just aren't cutting it for me anymore...i miss seeing the khakis and the dress whites...i know that sounds weird to ALL of you...but i dunno...i just miss it. living in a community like that gave you such a sense of community...cause we were all in the same boat and had to support each other. and i miss all the jokes and stuff between my dad and his buddies...he doesn't seem to have too many at the va...but in cuba and sc he was all about his fishing buddies/navy drinking buddies. things have just changed a lot for my family since my dad got out of the military. i dunno what conclusion i can come to with all this rambling...i don't think i'll actually join the military..cause...there's not exactly a big demand for military middle school teachers...and there's no way i'd teach for DOD...cause all of my teachers hated their jobs...so i dunno...but yeah the point is...i miss the military life right now...i think part of it also is because we've lived in durham for five years now...which is insanely long for the wolf family. it's ok for natalie cause she was only five when my dad got out...but for me...it's just really weird not moving every three years...it's nice having that security that you actually have a home town now...but at the same time...it's just really weird. i guess that's the only way to describe it.

ok. i'm done.
