Please, I’m not such a hardcore blogger that I would be dumb enough to take my Macbook into this salt marsh with me. Only a Maximum Comfort hoodie is required when vacationing with the Jackson family on Cape Cod. But on this last day of vacation, I do have some exciting news that simply cannot wait until I get back to Queens. Please read the list in its entirety as I am saving the best for last!
1) My brother Luke is a giant…or at least half-giant.
Gone are the days of my sister and I teasing, tricking and torturing our little brother. We weren’t aware of his magical secret until this trip. But we have all accepted him- much like Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione accepted their loyal friend, Hagrid.
2) I kicked back my first oyster shot at the must-drink-too-much-at Cape Cod destination, the Wellfleet Beachcomber.
Would I say it was delicious? Hmmmm… let’s see, how can I describe a shot made up of cocktail sauce, tabasco, tequila and one raw, shucked oyster?
Terror. Fear. Panic. Erotic. Anger…Basically, I’m too old for this s–t
3) And finaly-the very cool news that is keeping me away from the beach right now-I’ve been selected to be an official blogger for Savor the Success, a new social networking site for women entrepreneurs.
Savor the Success was launched by Angela Jia Kim, founder of Om Aroma, a luxury spa and skin care product line. It’s no surprise that this site is already completely helpful and excellent within its first month of going live. Angela is a concert pianist who decided to just start whipping up her own freaking body lotions when she had a terrible allergic reaction to a popular cream while performing on tour. So not only is Angela still a successful musician, she is also CEO of Om Aroma as well as founder of this new networking site. Also, I think she’s swimming against Michael Phelps tonight in China. And I’m sure she will make it to Beijing in time because she can probably fly, too.
I am honored to be one of five women that Angela’s group selected to follow as we pursue a professional goal. Over the next six months I will be blogging about my ups, downs and all the way arounds as I re-launch Sarahcentric in order to find a gazillion more readers to further my writing career. So, basically I’m blogging about blogging… quite a Russian Doll situation!
So in conclusion…
My brother is giant.
I hate oyster shots.
I have two blogs.
…an excellent vacation.

Yay! Congratulations!
Sarah - as a fellow member of Savor the Success and someone who knows Angela Jia Kim, I had to touch base and introduce myself. And more importantly… to thank you for the laughs. I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard. Those comments about Angela - how apropos! Glad to have discovered your blog… you’ve just earned yourself a new fan!
Sarah, you are the best. Thank you for the laughs. One day, you will be entertaining the world. I’ve always believed in you!
Inna,
Thank you so much reading and the kind words! I’m so looking forward to my double-blog duties with STS so you’ll be seeing me all over the place. Please don’t get tired of me;-)

Congrats! And I love the look on your face as you are about to take that oyster shot. Ewwww!
Sarah,
That is great news! I look forward to reading about your blogging lessons learned (as I could use a few too!). And I agree with FatFighter: that look is priceless. You are very brave!
Caroline & FF,
Thank you both so much! I’ve already started posting over there and the response has been great. But not so great that I will ever celebrate with an oyster shot;-)
