Straw World: September 2011
http://strawworld.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 17, 2011. Has it really been that long? I have missed my blogging, maybe I can get back to it this fall, although there may be no readers anymore since I last posted in May! You faithful readers will come back I hope. :). We have had quite the summer, our family (the 3 of us) vacationed together for 2 months. What a blast! We started out in Georgia, drove to Michigan, then Illinois, then to Iowa, Adam and I even went to California for 10 days just the two of us, it was simply heaven!

Straw World: Gone too long!
http://strawworld.blogspot.com/2011/03/gone-too-long.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. So ever since I got Facebook I have seriously neglected my blog, well no more, I am back, oh faithful readers. For starters I made this for dinner last night and it was amazing! Http:/ www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/broccoli-rabe-and-salami-pasta-recipe/index.html. I used baby spinach instead of the brocoli rabe and only 2 cloves of garlic. BIG hit with Abigail! Speaking of Abby, she is going to be 2 at the end of the month, I seriously can't believe it!

Straw World: July 2010
http://strawworld.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 25, 2010. You might be a redneck if. You put up the garage door, pull out the cars, set up your lawn chairs, "cut" on your box fans to blow in the direction of your lawn chairs, and cut on the radio to broadcast the cubs game all while. Your daughter plays in the kiddie pool that is in the garage too! Hey, we live in the south people this is totally normal. HA! She also figured out that with the fans going putting cups over your ears makes it sound like the ocean. Here mama you try. We went ...

Peso Millionaires: October 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Morning of Day Three. Monday, October 25, 2010. Are we there yet? I'm probably not the best person in the world to hike with because I always want to know how much further we have to hike. Luckily, we hiked with a guide, and he always answered my questions. "One hour, maybe two," he'd say. "Slowly, slowly.". Day two, again, was up, up up. But this time we were rewarded with views of the mountains. And our guide said, "Ghorepani," I said, "Oh! The warm shower or the cold beer?

Peso Millionaires: April 2011
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. I plan on getting the rest of this vacation chronicled, but right now I have some exciting news. Guess who's coming to our house tonight? The World-Cup-winning Indian Cricket Team? The World's Most Beautiful Woman, Aishwarya Rai? No again. I guess this news isn't really as exciting as I thought. The packers are coming, that's who. Not THE Packers, just the packers. The ones who are taking are stuff and sending it to Iowa. It's really happening, people! Thursday, April 21, 2011.

Peso Millionaires: packed
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/06/packed.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. How to pack up your house:. 1 Call the packers to arrange a time for them to come. 2 Open the door. 3 Take a nap. Getting our house packed was the easiest thing ever, for me. For the packers, it was a little more strenuous, it took them nearly seven hours to wrap, pack, arrange and haul our 26 boxes out of the house and into a moving van. What's really incredible to me is that we came here with six suitcases! In the meantime, our house is EMPTY! June 8, 2011 at 10:45 AM. It sounds ...

Peso Millionaires: results
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/05/results.html
Friday, May 27, 2011. Well, the results are in, and it looks like you've chosen to keep reading this thing. Most of you that is. One person voted for me to knock it off, and I just want to know WHO? Who exactly, is making you read this blog? You don't have to read this. Tell that. Person to knock it off, "Hey! Stop making me read this blog. I hate it." That's what you should do. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? He thundered. "How much did you just spend? But you know, I've been living the life of a monk these last fo...

Peso Millionaires: amazing race
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011/05/amazing-race.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. I’m in a weird place right now, mentally. I remember how excited (and really, really worried and nervous) we were to come to India. And now, with a month left (less! In India, which will most likely be my last time ever in this country (INDIA=I’ll Never Do It Again), I’m torn between enjoying our last days here and just waiting for it to all be over, finally. What’s wrong with me? People plan and save for years for a trip to India, and here we are wasting it! Anyway, I’ve said...

Peso Millionaires: January 2011
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. It used to take me less than an hour and a half to get home from college. Door to door. But such is life when you share the road with 1.2 billion people. I've been managing the frustration of sitting in traffic by taking pictures. I like how this camera setting makes things look like a watercolor. Peaceful, right? In this first one you can see that the lady in the back is riding her motorcycle side-saddle, with a stocking-capped baby in her arms. Sunday, January 16, 2011.

Peso Millionaires: November 2010
http://sarahincolombia.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. I'm about as grumpy as I can be about having to work on Thanksgiving. And by work, I don't mean teaching funny little 8th graders, I mean spending a whole day in meetings with other grumpy adults. I need a special emoticon for this feeling. One that can express rage, annoyance and homesickness. Something like. No, that's not doing it. WE ARE MOVING BACK TO IOWA! What is it," she'll think, "with laundromats and lunatics? And why do they always bother me. Each morning I'll clim...
