2-K-Dime-Penny

I seem to have given up on a journal, so I keep track of things that have happened here, on this blog, that nobody reads. 
So here is my attempt to remember the year 2011.

HIGHLIGHTS

Black Monday

Glow in the dark birthday dance party

PHRASES that came into our lives this year
"A-ness"

the "meat sweats"
"church on a mountain"
"_____ is connected to the... SNOWCONE!"
"Larson Manor"
"Jew-vee-jew"
"...iiiisss for fun"


I had a lot of free time this summer. In my life of leisure, I spent a lot of time at the pool and at the Provo library. A roommate later told me that when asked to describe her new roommate to a friend she said "Sarah sleeps late, talks in a weird accent, and reads dragon books." So there you go. Sometimes I wish I had better taste in literature, but mostly I figure I'm cultured enough. Here are some of the books I read in 2011:

Pride and Prejudice
The Help
The Fantastic Mr Fox
The Awakening
Austenland
Things Fall Apart
Poison Study
I Am the Cheese
Eat, Pray Love
Ender's Game
Ender's Shadow
Magic Study
Eragon
Bossypants
Parts of The Screwtape Letters
Eldest
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
All My Friends Are Dead


And now... *drumroll please* for the event we've all been waiting for...
SARAH'S 2011 FIRSTS:

Something to Think About

Not that I'm great at this...
But it really helps build a good perspective.

This was shared with me by my Exercise Physiology professor.



23 1/2 hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health?
