Last Saturday I was painting Jakob-turned-Julie's room and had my trusted little pink Sansa hooked up to speakers so I could have me some music.
Remember the Sansa? Didn't think so.
Anyways, the Sansa and I have had a good couple of years. Ben got it for me for Mother's Day after I'd started running...I may have begged for it. Turns out, I'm quite attached to it.
Back to my story...so I was in the middle of painting and suddenly realized that only one of the two speakers was playing music. I fiddled with the chords and then did what any reasonable woman does when she still has lots of painting to do...I tapped the speaker lightly. Nothing. Banged it on the floor several times. Nothing.
The next resort was to call in the husband before I pushed the speaker to its limit. Still, the speaker would not cooperate.
Fast forward a couple days. I sit down at the computer with my Sansa and headphones and guess what!?! The headphones only work out of one speaker. Huh. Turns out, I'd abused the speaker for no reason...it was actually the Sansa's fault.
I lasted a whole two days before I had to go out and purchase a new one. This time, it's an iPod. Cute little green one. And I heart it already. I used money I'd earned babysitting...which makes me sound like a 15 year old. Big surprise.
Meet little green iPod and the earphones that actually fit in my ears:
Try not to be too impressed with my amazing photography skills.
And while I'm at it...I'd like to introduce you to my new glasses. I normally wear contacts, but it had been a good four years since I've had updated glasses *gasp* so, here they are:
Ignore the hair. It got washed, but that's about it. Frankly, it's lucky to be clean.
Here's a terrible shot of the side, but I had to show you because they follow my little bit ugly rule. See, they're alternating black and brown and the frames are plastic but the bows are metal. Weird-o.
Love 'em so far.
Vanity, vanity all is vanity ;)

I think your hair looks really cute in the pics.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the new glasses!
Hair and glasses are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my iPod -- and I'm not really a big person on electronics, but that is like my constant companion. When I leave the house, you can guarantee three things are in my hand: my phone, my wallet, and my iPod.
I have a RED sansa that is my life! I Love it! So, I have had both the IPOD and Sansa too!! =) Your hair and glasses are adorable...I am partial to glasses in my family!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! I love to alternate wearing glasses and contacts. 'Cause I'm a girl and we like options.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is cute! Love the glasses too!
ReplyDeleteLove your hair in these pics.
ReplyDeleteLikey your new lil' green purchase.
Lookin' good in those new specs.
Your glasses AND your hair rock! You are one cool mama!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a freaking cutie! I love the glasses, & as always, your hair is adorable & makes me want to chop mine all off. I agree with Andrea, you're 1 cool Mama!
ReplyDeleteC.U.T.E.
ReplyDelete:)
love the glasses!!! being a person that has to wear glasses (dry eyes), they are very important to me and must look cute and trendy!!! Those meet the bill!
ReplyDeleteYour glasses are cute, and if you only washed your hair, I'd say you can cut your styling time out. Your hair is SO cute!!! Seriously, I love the little swoop of bangs, and flippy-dos at the bottom. Is flippy-do a word? You know what I mean though, right?
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin that you pulled the Barbie and the Rockers t-shirt out. May pull mine out of Grace's pj pile. Have a good one my dear friend. :-)
ReplyDeleteOK. I've thought this MANY TIMES while reading your blog, Sarah, but I've never said it for fear of being politically uncorrect. But that picture of you with your sassy hair and kicky glasses is forcing me to speak up.
ReplyDeleteYou, my friend, are the most stylish small town woman I've ever seen. As you know, I lived in a small town a few years ago, and I never saw anyone even remotely as fashionable as you. You must make people stop and star when you walk down the street (and I mean that in a good way).
You are very, very beautiful, and I love your sense of style.
Love the glass especially the side view. Too cute!!!
ReplyDeletethe hair is really cute, looks better than mine when i try to fix it! the glasses are really cute too.
ReplyDelete..."which makes me like a 15 year old" ...
ReplyDeleteHEE HEE!
Lovin' the glasses - and the super-cute ipod. Makes me almost want to run so I can get one.
Notice I said, "almost".
What color is Julie's room?
I need to know where you got your t-shirt. It's kinda rock star and since that's the whole look I'm after... I need to know. KTHX.
ReplyDeleteI thought your hair looked SUPER cute today!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the ipod and glasses!
I was hoping we'd get to see pics of Julies room!
Your glasses and hair are super cute. I just updated my glasses too. Maybe I'll post a photo of them soon. Blessings, Susan
ReplyDeleteSarah your hair is the best hair ever. Really you need to stop saying it isn't, you want to know why? Someday God is going to bring back the perm just because you tempt him by saying your hair is terrible. Stop it, I do NOT want to go back to the perm. I mean it. Stop.
ReplyDeleteYour hair could NOT look any cuter with or with out your new glasses.
I was so againest ipods until I got a tunes card for my birthday and didn't want to give it to my hubby. I now want the itouch. So I can SEE all my album covers and flip through them, like a normal geek. Pretty green. For some reason I am drawn to that color this season.
No for real, no more "My hair is blah..."
IT IS NOT.
You look great! And your glasses does too :)
ReplyDeleteThose glasses are off the hook!!! LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteYou are totally making me want new glasses. Note to self ... call eye dr. Monday. Super stylish, lady.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just discovered your blog through my friend Lindsay's blog...and I have to say...I LOVE it...you write with such honesty & humor! Plus, those glasses are very hip & stylish! Enjoy your new little green friend! May your weekend be filled with many Sweet blessings!
ReplyDeleteIs that really what your hair looks like when it's just washed and you're not trying?
ReplyDeleteReally?
Cuz, if so, I am waaaaay jealous, and totally in a 15 year-old kinda way. Like seriously.
You look great. I haven't ventured into the ipod thing yet. Maybe I need to get one.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I hope I didn't freak you out with the whole James thing. I forgot i was on my husband's account searching for something and decided to read a couple of blog posts. It is Tami from Muddlin' thru Motherhood.
ReplyDeleteI love the glasses and your hair is that beautiful kind of a cut where you can do nothing and look like you did something and it looks great!! Easy Peasy!!
ReplyDeleteI want your glasses.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding...your hair looks amazing! And the glasses are so cute...very you.
