The Interview

Interviewer: Jeremy
Interviewee: SarahLynn

Question: So SarahLynn, it's been a while since you've blogged about anything. What is your post going to be about?
Answer: Well, nothing has really happened to us in the last few weeks. I've literally just been at work, and you are always at work or school. So there is nothing really interesting to post about.
Q: Well, why don't you tell them about the shows you are directing at school?
A: I don't think people want to hear about that.
Q: Well, they might. What's your show about that you are doing this Wednesday?
A: Oh, it's the 2nd grade show, called DinoStars. It's going to be SO cute. The kids basically sing and dance about dinos, and they will each be dressed up like a different dinosaur.
Q: Cool! Who makes all the costumes?
A: The parents do. It's really great because it makes each child look unique, and it's one less thing I have to worry about.
Q: What about the next show?
A: Well, two weeks after Dinostars, the 4th graders will be doing a play I wrote called Gold Fever.
Q: Wait, YOU wrote it? I thought you've been buying all those kids' musicals. Other people can write the plays you know.
A: Yeah, I know. I bought two different gold rush plays, but neither of them were that great. So I took what was best from each play and then kind of meshed them together to fit my own artistic preferences. It's probably not legal, so don't tell anybody.
Q: By the way, where were you Friday night?
A: Oh! I was at the 8th grade girl over-night bonding trip!!! I got to be one of the chaperones. We stayed at this huge mansion on a hill in Orange. There were 19 girls, and they gave me hand massages and braided my hair.
Q: Didn't you make them wear you underwear or something?
A: Huh?
Q: You said earlier that they were passing around your bra and trying it on?
A: You're making me sound like a pedophile! Okay. It's kind of long story. All the girls were sitting in a circle confessing who they liked. Then they decided to confess their bra sizes to each other. When they asked me, I honestly didn't know because I haven't shopped for bras in like years. So one extra spunky girl volunteered to go get my bra and check my size. When she came back, she had gotten both mine and another teacher's bra and put them on over her PJ's!! It was hysterical! Then, a bunch of other girls passed around the bras and tried them on. It was late at night. Haha.
Q: 8th grade girls are kinda insane.
A: Not as much as the 8th grade boys. Luckily, they went fishing with the principal.
Q: So, who are you voting for on Tuesday?
A: Uh....I'm just gonna vote for all the people you vote for. I don't really have time to learn about each candidate.
Q: You should at least know about the education candidates.
A: Oooo. Good point. I don't trust you on that subject. Okay, let me get out of this blog window so we can do some research on those guys.

Project Bandaloop

We found a free performance at the OC Fine Arts Center last week. It was a show where people dance outside, on the side of a building, hanging from ropes! They call themselves project bandaloop. It was really cool!

We were able to make a triple date out of it, so that was an added plus. We haven't done a group date in a really long time, so it was definitely a hallmark in our social life!
Seriously, how cool is this? I want to learn how to dance while hanging from buildings, too!

Laguna Wilderness Hike

Last week, we joined Jeremy's MBA friends on a hike through Laguna Beach Wilderness. The hike was short-5.5 miles- but it was 108 degrees out that day, with no shade on the entire trail. Plus, the night before the hike I got 3rd place in my school's teacher-pie-eating contest (out of 26!), so that made it pretty interesting.
Even though it was boiling, we had fun and there were wonderful views of rolling hills with deserty wildlife. When we made it to the hill that overlooked the beach, it was so relieving! We hiked into town and ate lunch together at a yummy restaurant.

Can you see Jeremy's beard in this picture (above)? He grew it out for an entire week to see exactly where his beard line is. Since he's a "ginger," his hair grows in red, and it has a funny pattern to it. Here's a closer picture for you to see the areas where the hair grows long and where he has what we call "desert patches."
