You may not like me at first, but you'll miss me when I'm gone. I prefer face to face contact to any other form of communication. I'm a little all over the place and I love to eat, drink, and be merry. I am the embodiment of the lifespan, being a fun-loving kid, responsible adult and crotchety old fogie at various intervals. Why wait? There is no better time to procrastinate than the present.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saraspassions.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7156726683162593258/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saraspassions.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Sara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04622258032678799080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>7</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156726683162593258.post-7042868755560362835</id><published>2008-02-19T09:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-19T09:10:56.989-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Time to reflect</title><content type='html'>In the past few months, this is what I feel like I have been missing.  Time to reflect on my life, where I've been, where I'm going and how I'm going to get there.  So I am going to try to work this into my self-care plan and hold myself accountable for doing this.  Any help from others in holding myself accountable is always appreciated.  Anyone have ideas on how to go about this reflection?  What do ya'll do?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7156726683162593258-7042868755560362835?l=saraspassions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saraspassions.blogspot.com/feeds/7042868755560362835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7156726683162593258&amp;postID=7042868755560362835&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7156726683162593258/posts/default/7042868755560362835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7156726683162593258/posts/default/7042868755560362835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saraspassions.blogspot.com/2008/02/time-to-reflect.html' title='Time to reflect'/><author><name>saraspassion</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01701026421641823715</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156726683162593258.post-278289631078428340</id><published>2007-11-17T19:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-03T17:28:00.865-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love'/><title type='text'>Passion on Pause</title><content type='html'>As is the sad state of affairs, the most recent passion has to be put on pause due to complications.

Another great conversation ensued in tandem with Criminal Minds and some Law and Order.  Tonight I turned on my computer and messenger, just in case, and got another good conversation out of it.  Three hours of spanglish and great conversation.   I feel giddy and alive.  Good thing I'm not working tomorrow.  Some day I may use this blog for something intellectually stimulating, but for now I just have to gush.  Eventually the endorphins will be replaced by brain cells.  Until then, though, I'm going to float off for the night.  Can't wait to see family next week.

He likes science and thought about going into Microbiology, but decided on counseling instead.  He's a meat eater, but very veggie friendly.  And also a punster.  I hit him with a really cheesy pun and instead of groaning he came back with an even cheesier one.  Aaaaah!
