So on a slightly miffed note- second time typing this. Thanks google.
But! I do recognize a long time has passed- maybe a really really long time. But I look at my sisters blogging and am inspired. We have different writing styles, its always fun to look at hers, as it is much more humor oriented. Well, obvious humor anyway. I would like to think mine is a bit more dry, sarcastic, even mature- and right now optimistic sense of humor.
But I will cover the summer (which was entirely filled with camp) in a different post. Right now, I want to fill you in with what has happened sense camp. I have a lot of free time- I was planning on just working this year, but with choir and dance, the exact middle portion of my day is taken up, and its hard to get hired around that. I have a part time job that at least pays the bills, but its very very part time. So free time. Lots of free time.Basically, my life has been taken over by two obsessions. Baking, and vintage fashion.
(PS- the roses are from my daddy for my birthday! He doesn't know that-
but I was grateful all the same)
((PPS- Gloves and Crinoline are also from dad. Aren't they amazing?!?!))
So they say whatever you think about when you don't have to think should be your major. I think fashion, particularly that of the vintage variety, isn't offered in most schools. But I check my vintage fashion sites and blogs, about as often as I do my email and facebook, and I have come to the conclusion, that I was born in the wrong era. Being a young adult in the fifties or sixties would have been ideal, but the forties would have been awesome too. Boys were gentlemen, women were ladies, and looked pretty all the time!! None of this, 'you will never get me into a dress unless its sunday. I live in basketball shorts' nonsense. No! You put your best foot forward! Its not dressing up, its choosing to be as pretty as you can every day. Ok. Rant over. Basically, at this point, I almost own enough dresses to wear one every day for a month and not have to do laundry. I aspire to be an amazing mix of Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn.
But sometimes, I stop thinking about clothes, and get hungry. Then, I start to think about food. Everything from slow cooker Chicken Tikka Masala to chocolate mint cup cakes and a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. But mostly desserts. I CAN make things that are healthy for you, I just prefer not to. Meat and vegetables confuse me, like an artist who prefers to work in pastels, I prefer to work in flour, sugar, butter, chocolate and cream :) So any recipe ideas, or requests, let me know! Dinner parties- I would love to host lots of dinner parties.
So now this rant is over, my blog will probably take on a lot more 'fashion' taste and a lot more cooking taste. Maybe this is not what you wanted when you started reading, but this is the direction life is going. I'm still me, with my deep and semi-ridiculous thoughts, they will just now be expressed next to flared skirts and karo syrup frosting. Be patient with me, even if this isn't your area of interest.
More to come soon,
Sarah
PS- my baby sister is in college and I am SOOO PROUD OF HER! She is doing awesome, has her own style and pretty much has the general workings of BYUI down. I believe a visit is called for......
