A Little Emily Dickinson

A Something in a Summer's Day

By Emily Dickinson

A something in a summer’s Day

As slow her flambeaux burn away

Which solemnizes me.

A something in a summer’s noon —

A depth — an Azure — a perfume —

Transcending ecstasy.

And still within a summer’s night

A something so transporting bright

I clap my hands to see —

Then veil my too inspecting face

Lets such a subtle — shimmering grace

Flutter too far for me —

So looking on — the night — the morn

Conclude the wonder gay —

And I meet, coming thro’ the dews

Another summer’s Day!

I ♥ Dahlias!

My first dahlia from my garden bloomed today!

Things I like to make fun of: MN Accents

How can you NOT make fun of MN accents!
Today on the CUB Foods Commercial, CUB Foods girl asked random folks this question:

What do you like to put your blueberries on?

One lady said:
I like to put them on Graah-Noh-la and Yoh-Gehrt.

I wonder if she was from Ah-Noh-Kaa?

Too funny! Good thing Blueberries aren't Spehn-dy right now.

Facebook: Changing Lives, One Friend Request at a Time.

Last night I went out with Lisa, an old friend from elementary\jr.high\high school. Shannon and I were both friends with her throughout school, until she went to another school in 9th grade.

Lisa recently contacted me through Facebook and well the rest was history.

Shannon, Lisa and I shared memories and laughs of all those years at W-M. It's fun to be

re-united via Facebook. Without Facebook I wouldn't have all the 101 friends that I now do. Question: Do you think people request to be friends with strangers just so they can seem like they have a lot of friends? Sad.

A tutorial on striking out

Many people are wondering how that whole Strike Through magic works. I myself have recently learned how, and that was pretty much so i could sound even more witty in my posts.

Go here for a very quick and easy tutorial. This is the way I do it. And I prefer my way.

or you could be cool like Megan and do all your writing\striking through in Word then paste it.
Tomato\Tomahto.

Have fun and don't be surprised if you instantly gain 10 new friends who think you are soooo amazingly cool. Strike Throughs are the new Michael Phelps.

The One Where Sabrina Almost LOST Her Blog

So at work when i am bored, I like to play around on my blog. Today was no exception. I like to experiment with new templates so I can have the coolest blog ever, and every one will like me more because i get my validation from my blog so i can have a stylish blog.

I was a bit more daring then usual when i found a blog template i really really liked. I downloaded it and viola, it looked something like this:I was so excited to see my new blog in action! Except there was one thing wrong with it: All my info\posts\pictures\links\EVERYTHING was gone! Poof! I almost had a mini panic attack...

Nothing was working and I literally almost started to cry. At that moment i realized that i needed to get a life and stop being so enmeshed/addicted/stage 5 clinger with my blog. Actually at that moment i did everything I could to bring it back because I am enmeshed/addicted/stage 5 clinger with my blog. I almost ran and found one of the tech guys to save me (even though blogging is not really allowed at work, but why?) THANKFULLY, I was able to save my blog all on my own, and now I feel whole again.

Operation Baking Gals

Well for those of you who know me, you might know me as this free spirited Libertarian pacifist gal. I rarely will talk about my political views or politics in general, but i guess you could say i am a Libertarian. I am not a fan of war (really, who is?) and therefore i am a pacifist. There are a lot of things very wrong with this country. Yet i am still an American, and I love living here and i embrace my freedoms (hello Libertarianism). So as we are in the middle of a war, that i definitely wish would end soon, in the mean time I will support our troops. I think they are an amazing\fearless\brave\wonderful lot of men and women. Even if i don't understand or always agree with what they are doing on a daily basis, I still care about them. So to show my support I have joined a group of women calling ourselves, Operation Baking Gals. Operation Baking Gals is a group of women who are on "teams" and each team picks a group of soldiers and sends them baked goods. I am on team Meet Me in the Kitchen. Starting the week of August 23, all the members of our team will be sending goodies to Russ and his pals. Anyone can join, so if you are interested check out Operation Baking Gals and sign up. Now, the big question is: What am I going to bake????
