Testing...1...2...3

Just making sure this thing is on...

Welcome to my first post on my new blog! I say new because I tried blogging before but it wasn't that successful - that is a story for a different time - so here is to second chances.

In case you don't know me, I am Sarah.

As a getting to know each other ice-breaker (I am normally

not a fan of ice-breakers especially the ones that create awkw

ard situations, but this one is Sarah-approved), I am going to answer 50 questions about me found by searching google for "50 questions about me". Yes, I am very creative.

Let the questioning begin:

1. Apple or orange juice?Orange juice definitely although I don't keep it at my place because there is a good chance it would be gone in one day.

2. Are you a morning or a night person? I am a night person for sure. Mornings are just rough for me.

3. Sweet or salty foods? Salty. Pretzels in dipped in chocolate are heaven in snack form.

4. Ninjas or pirates? Hmmm, probably ninjas although pirates are pretty BA too.

5. Ninjas vs pirates, discuss. I choose ninjas because they are very alert and sneaky while pirates are drunk and messy. Ninjas would win hands down!
