SARAHBELLUM SAYS..
by Sarah Nielson
Sarah is a thirty-something single woman living in Salt Lake City. As a working student she has far too many things on her plate and likes to talk about them A LOT. She is finishing a degree in journalism from the University of Utah. Sarah loves Frank Sinatra, J.D. Salinger, all things pink, really horrible television, her one-eyed dog Daisy, reading and writing. She doesn't, however, love arithmetic.
I'm 33-years-old and don't have any children. I'm also unmarried. You can imagine how well this goes over with my LDS family... yeah, it doesn't. Like many single women in my age-group I dread family events. There's only so many times I can explain to my great-aunt who is, OF COURSE, hard of hearing that I'm still not seeing anyone without totally losing it.

Wouldn’t you?When I woke up, this morning, I noticed my bedroom floor was covered with shoes, books and clothing. Someone ...
I just got back from a vacation to Washington D.C. where I experienced a dreadful flight home. Because not everyone understands what is and isn’t acceptable behavior in public I’ve made a short list. Behavior that is NOT airplane appropriate: 1) I don’t care which tropical island you vacationed on with your husband; it is NEVER appropriate to peel sunburned skin from your backs and compare. GROSS! 2) Eating tuna fish sandwiches will make an entire plane stink. 3) Eating anything with onions is just plain mean. That smell doesn’t exactly fade fast. If you break any o ...
Someone recently accused me of being the ‘glass half full’ kind of girl. I gasped in horror, because that simply isn’t true. I’ve certainly never been accused of being optimistic, but I do like finding the silver lining in every situation--especially the more challenging ones. For example, in an effort to save some money I recently considered (AND REJECTED!) the idea of trying to color my own hair. What’s the worst that could happen? Sure my hair could end up a putrid shade of green, but the timing couldn’t be better. I’ll just look like the crazy girl ...
