In today's installment of "how to improve society":
 
Today, I was driving on the highway and a woman pulled out in front of me.  So we're driving on the two-lane highway for about 50 meters when she slows down, so I take it she's wanting me to pass her.  When I attempt to do so, she moves over in the middle of the road, cutting me off (again).  She then turns right, heading in to Burger's Smoke House, not before giving ME the finger.  I have a list of things that I did NOT do to deserve this.
 
Then, while at school, I had to try to explain to a kindergartener why she should not pretend to smoke her magic marker.  *sigh*
 
People!  If you must smoke, don't do it in front of your kids!  You're not even giving them a chance.  Ever heard of second-hand smoke?!  You're giving your toddlers an addiction without even giving them the consideration.  Stop that!

So I woke this morning at 3:00am, choking on my own drainage. Lovely, no? I tried sitting up, turning over and nothing helped. I was like a broken faucet of snot. Then, of course, the pets were awake and concerned. The cat started her morning routine early by jumping from surface to surface barking her little "mawr mawr mawr." And the dog, while much more respectful than the cat, was breathing heavy and trying very hard not to let her whines escape her jowls. Fail. 

Yesterday was a wild one.  Maywood had a great morning at Prindle Studios and Eatery (thanks Liz for another awesome meal), writing/editing songs and working a little bit on the record.  But that was just the beginning.
 

At work. No, they still haven't blocked maywoodband.com, even though it may seem that way from my lack of blog activity. I've been blogging on Facebook, actually. My husband and I just got back from vacation in America's Polynesian island, Hawai'i, and I've been documenting our experiences on that networking site. If you're not my FB friend, look me up. I'm listed as Sarah Fluff. Why? Eh, I dunno. I'll probably change it back to Sarah Sheldon soon.

Please pray for my mixer (an Allen & Heath ZED R16, also referred to as "Allen")
 
...and my computer (a Macbook Pro, which I call "Mackenzie").  
 
...They're having some medical problems.
 

Unless you've been living under a rock for a while, you've heard about the disasterous earthquake that hit Haiti.  The earthquake, which measured around a magnitude 7.0, was centered just southwest of Port-au-Prince.
