1. This week, I have gotten more rejection letters, e-mails in which I may not be teaching come Fall. If you haven’t figured this out, I don’t do well with rejection especially when it comes to my education and career. I could be like the majority of Christians and comfort myself that God has better things for me. But no, I comfort myself that God created humans who made Little Debbie Fudge Brownies, pizza, Double Stuff Oreos, and Mint Milanos which is more tangible and edible.
2. August 5th was my anniversary to Mark. Mark has dutifully put up with my temper tantrums, enjoyment inconsistencies(for example: You love chocolate, but don’t like plain chocolate ice cream?), remembers my strong aversion to red roses and carnations, and foregoes the annoying sappy Hallmark cards for the funny ones… I LOVE YOU!
3. My dogs are very religious. My Ophelia must have converted to charismatic movement because she consistently falls on the floor wiggling with her paws in the air and barks in tongues. Ginger Snap, however, must be a part of the emergent church because she believes more in love than scrapping for her rights. Cupcake is an evangelical fundamentalist. He picks fights with the other two dogs over food, water, who is petting which dog–I think he even changed the channel from Bravo to Fox News when he sat on the remote. Sure, sign of a fundy.
4. I love buying school supplies and clothes for the kids. Who am I kidding? I love school supplies for me too!
5. I get bored watching most TV shows…but Shark week. I could watch for hours–provided I am not going to the beach within the next week.
6.Speaking of the beach, if you ever go to Carolina Beach, you MUST go to Britt’s Donuts. Words cannot describe the amazingness of these fried dough spheres. Now, they are only open from April to October, but I am scheming my way to getting some more of them this year.
7. And last but not least, this song puts me in a good mood every time I hear it:

Great song — I love Sara Bareilles. We’re working up Many the Miles for our band. Very excited ’cause it has a rocking piano part!
I love the piano parts from her songs! There may be some slight jealousy on my part since she plays by ear, and I am stuck reading music.

Okay, Britt’s donuts is officially on my calendar for the next trip to the beach!
Your religious dogs crack me up. And coping with rejection with chocolate? Pass me some, sister. You’re preaching to the choir!
Happy Anniversary!
Seriously, Britt’s is the BEST ever…PERIOD, end of story, hang up the aprons. They have been in business since 1939 and make 1 kind of donut–glazed. We stood in a line down the boardwalk to get our hands on these little spheres of DELICIOUS!
Hello Sarah, I enjoyed your 7 Quick Takes, especially #3, your take on your dogs.
Blessings – Jan
I LOVE school supplies. Even before I was a teacher, I could spend hours in Staples. The smell of newly sharpened pencils? Yummy!
