Writer's Alcove: Life {Sweet} Life

Sarah Martin

Today we have Sarah from Life {Sweet} Life in the hot seat telling us more about her. She is pregnant with her long awaited first child, is addicted to The Office, and tells hilarious stories about things that happen where she works. If you don't read her blog, go say hey! You may fall in love with her story about how God worked a miracle to give them the greatest gift--a child.

1. Given the opportunity to play any character from a TV show who would you choose and why?

Hmm…probably Pam from The Office because Jim Halpert is adorable! And I think it would be nothing but laughs filming with that cast. :)

2. If you had to live in a foreign country, what’s one thing you would do?

I would love to work with orphanages.

3. If you could travel back in time where would you go and who would you take?

I think it would be amazing to live during the time Jesus was on earth and doing teachings and performing miracles…people must have been so shocked to see something like this happening in the flesh! And I’d take my husband just cause he’s a good travel buddy. :)

4. Name a favorite college memory.

Anything from the ’99-’00 OU Football season…was amazing and so fun to be a part of the National Championship stuff that year!

5. Can you share the something special that you’ve made (or had made) for the baby?

After all these years, I’m finally taking advantage of my mom’s sewing skills and she’s starting to teach me to sew! I made him a burp cloth with an “E” on it. Gotta start somewhere! :)

6. Given the chance to buy any designer shoe collection who would you choose and why?

I love shoes, but I’m not really into brands so I’m not sure on this one.

7. What’s something fun about you that my readers would be surprised to learn?

Hmm…something fun? Not sure about fun, but maybe odd…I count things in my head a lot. Like steps I’m climbing, etc. Random, I know.

8. Favorite quote?

“Nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37

9. What kind of book best describes you and why?

Romantic Comedy…I love a good love story – nothing too cheesy though – and I love to laugh!

10. If fear was nonexistent, what activity would you try?

Skydiving

Extra Tidbit: What are your top 5 movies that you’ve seen?

This one is hard! I have a hard time picking a favorite movie, but I’ll go with The Wedding Planner, Wedding Crashers, Fracture, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and The Notebook.

I included this one because I was curious. Hope everyone enjoyed getting to know Sarah!

Don't think I forgot about Memories Rewind on Wednesday--It's done. I just wanted to leave the medicine post up a little longer for those who might not see it until the weekend.

Freewriting Day 19: Tangled Web

Just a reminder. Freewriting is when you just write. There is no set way to do it. This DOES NOT mean that my writing is free to be taken by others. I want to make that clear. Oh, what a tangled web we weave That was a Shakespeare tragedy Now it is your reality. All of the lies and cover ups Have buried you Gone are the comforts you had grown accustomed to Why did you push that boundary? Why did you cross that line? Did you really think "I can get by with it this time?" What happened to you? What kind of sick, twisted fantasy did you have? So many questions left hanging in the air. Do you even know yourself? Maybe you stopped caring, Maybe you felt alone. I hope that cheap thrill was worth it because now you are caught. You can't run away. You can't escape the stares. Worst of all, you can't escape yourself. I know you are probably replaying every scene, Wishing and hoping it's all a bad dream. Sadly, t

Advocating for Another: Inside the Fishbowl

Image
Since I talked about my community and some things that make me and my readers unique yesterday, I thought I would branch out and do one of the bonus prompts, which says to tell what my life is like to someone looking on the outside then describe it from the inside. On the outside, I look like a stylish young woman busy attending college classes and helping out at my church all while in a wheelchair. Some people have mistakenly thought I have an easy life because I have people helping me do things, get a little extra time to do tasks, and so on. From the inside, they would see a slightly different picture. My hair looks so good because my mom helps me dry it and style it. I have a beside commode because I'm not quite strong enough --yet--  to walk to the bathroom and sit down without help. They would also see I have to get up about thirty minutes to an hour before I have somewhere to be in order to get ready because it takes me a little longer to do things. They wo

Memories Rewind: Playhouse Parties

 Something's up with the spacing today. I was over a C's house for a sleepover filled with laughs, mischief, and games. We still had a few daylight hours to burn, and we just couldn't waste away a beautiful day in the house. " Whatcha wanna do?" C asked. I spotted the bright pink doll house out of the corner of my eye. Let's play house! We arranged the miniature table and chairs just so. The table cloth was laid aside because this was a casual affair. Mr. Teddy and all of C's dollies were anticipating the fabulous feast put on by the two princesses. "What shall we make?" we pondered. It had to be special. Mud pies were a favorite of the furry forest animals. I scooped up mounds of mud as C poured the water in. We were quite the team, so before we knew it, those mud pies had a date with a hot oven. Water and lemonade were waiting to quench the thirsts of the animals. Sticks were used in place of forks. We didn't want to lose an eye
