Happy Chappy in the Rain!
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Is Sarah still alive? Yes, yes I am
- Has Sarah given up on blogging? No, I just never do it.
- Are these questions just a lame way to open up a long overdue post? Clearly!
So obviously this post has something to do with the number 6! I have finally come to terms with it and want to reveal that I have 6 fingers…..”you killed my father, prepare to die”. Just kidding just quoting Princess Bride. BUT, our 6 year Camboversary has come and gone already! (a solid 4 months past…haha Terrible blogging skills I have developed) Can you believe it! Six entire years have passed and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. *sits back in chair and tries to think………..* Yeah, sorry guys, I still don’t know. I guess technically I am a real adult though, I DID buy a fridge and washing machine this past year for the first time. That is pretty adult-esk isn’t it. Gross!
Anyways, enough of the rambling! Let’s get into what you came here for! Or for you less fortunate ones where this post has arrived at your email even though you thought you unsubscribed (JK)….Let’s get into what I thought was worthy of spamming you with! HAHA STORIES. Okay, so mostly I have one, because I think it is hilarious and it has a nice combination of bad timing and funny cultural things.
My gorgeous sister Abby MINUS the potato salad! *photo credit to our amazing friend Karissa who took our pics for work!
So not so long ago, Abby had been doing some cooking for a large group of people. (Something she does regularly, once a week.) That particular day she had a blemish or red mark on her upper….CHEST! And when you read that say chest really slowly and jokingly sexy but in a fake sexy way. Get a hold of yourselves guys, I mean near her collar bone. Anyways, she regretfully wore a top that of course was modest but didn’t hide the dreaded blemish. That morning she thought to herself, “Definitely SOMEONE is going to ask me about this mark.” So later on in the day and after she had finished cooking, it was time to eat. She took her food and sat at one of the tables with everyone else. Sitting across from Abby, one of her friends asked, “Abby, what’s this??”, while pointing to Abby.
Abby thinks..”BINGO…ding ding ding, TOLD YA!” She didn’t even look down to acknowledge the blemish again but just replied, “It’s a bite or a pimple.” Abby continues to eat her meal. The girl stops her once again. “Really? Did you go to the doctor yet?” Already at this point Abby was getting annoyed and said, “What? No, I have had it for a few days, it will go away on its own.” The girl answered back, “Oh, well it just looks so strange!” At this point Abby was done talking about it so she assured her it was fine and changed the topic. After finishing her meal Abby went to the washroom, while she was washing her hands she looked in the mirror. To her SHOCK, she saw a clump of potato salad sitting on her skin!! She immediately found her friend again and asked her if she had been asking about the FOOD on her chest!? Of course it is exactly what she had been asking about! HAHA Never assume!
Did you know we got a kitten? We did! She has made our life
Scotland AKA Scotty AKA Chicken AKA many other nicknames we give at random!
SOOOOO stressful. Jokes, she has enhanced our Cambo experience. It is just so nice to have her around, because she makes us laugh, OOH and AW and she wakes us up at 6 AM by jumping on us while we sleep which isn’t frightening or annoying at all. Her name is Scotland, but we call her Scotty for short. ( we like to name our pets after places….usually ) Anyways I have a million cute pics of her but I will try to only add a few.
So as tradition has it….since this is my 6 year Camboversary post, I now present to you the:
List of things Sarah learned in 2018 List:
- Airplane food in Asia ordered gluten free will ALWAYS include fish something. Barf Barf puke puke
- Moving is the WORST! Seriously, the entire process is highly over rated. The packing, the lifting, the deciding, the figuring out where to put all your junk. It’s very much a pain!
- Dengue fever is even more WORSE! Especially dengue twice in 6 months in a country based on being hot and sweaty. Sorry Cambodia, I love you but I will always rant about your HOTNESS!
- It was so hot this year I didn’t even get my annual sock day. I may have explained this before but usually there is one day that is just cool enough that I feel the need to wear socks. NOT EVEN CLOSE this year! I never put on a pair of socks the entire time I was sick! Who knew a place like this existed!?
- Apparently I look East Indian….WHICH I DON’T “AT ALL“… but I was told by an East Indian woman that I look East Indian! And for the sake of repeating words for emphasis…East Indian.
- It is much funnier to say Happy University to people instead of saying Happy Anniversary.
- Shrimp cocktail sauce is two simple ingredients…..Ketchup and Horse Radish aka Horsh Radish. Are you kidding me, I only JUST learned this! Break out the shrimp guys! WOOOOOOOOOT WOOOT
- I will never take for granted having a kitchen. I can’t even tell you how frustrating it was to search for a new place to rent and yet so many places didn’t have a proper kitchen!
- Make any gathering, no matter how small WAY more exciting by just adding PARTY to the end. Or the classic “Par-Tay”. For example, are you having tacos tonight….no you aren’t, you are having a Taco PARTY! Are you playing the amazing card game Love Letter?? Light it on FIRE by calling it a Love Letter PARTY!!! haha (sorry somewhat of an inside joke- but still funny for those with elevated humor capabilities!)
- This list couldn’t be complete without saying that yet again I have learned more and more and MORE patience. I must have been a REALLY impatient person before because good grief, who knew life required so much PATIENCE! ( Ironically I am teaching you all patience by hardly posting! Your welcome….life enhanced!)
Being PATIENT!
Well thanks guys for reading all the way to the end! You survived. YES this is a some what shorter version of my usual Camboversary posts BUT I have MORE posts planned! Some stories are just too good to go untold so please, be patient…*wink wink* and I hope to get out these stories to you. Enjoy the mish mosh photos!
