I don’t do a lot of fund raising on Sarah and the Goon Squad but this is something that I believe in.
Choralis is a first rate community based choir in the Washington D.C Area. Besides being kind enough to let me in, they also provide scholarships to 12 students each year. Gretchen Kuhrmann is an amazing director and I suggest you come see us perform if you are in the area.
Of course if you can’t I understand.
But, I promised these people I would raise $100. Running a choir isn’t cheap, providing scholarship is expensive.
I figured that if I could get each of you to give $1 (or $5 if you are loaded or really into choral music) we could probably raise $100.
I know things are tight, and I know we aren’t curing cancer, but I figured you guys could all spare a dollar for a noble cause.
The paypal button below will let you donate directly to Choralis leaving out the middle man. If you feel more comfortable going through me, my e-mail address is goonsquadsarah at gmail dot com and I can get the money to the choir.

Well thanks for reading me this year. I really do appreciate it.
Now in a gross act of blatantly copying a friend of mine I will ask you what you wrote, or photographed, or did that you loved this year. Links are encouraged in the comments.
And Happy New Year.

The other day at the bus stop one of my new neighbors was asking all the other ladies about where we got our hair cut.
I didn’t say anything until she asked me directly.
Because I get my hair cut in Tampa.
Which wouldn’t really be that weird except I live just outside Washington D.C.
That is when it occurred to me that I might be a little strange. It didn’t seem like a big deal when I was going to visit my parents every couple of months. I would just make an appointment to get my haircut whenever I was home. The problem now is that I haven’t been to Florida since June and I don’t have any immediate plans to go there.
And I really need a haircut.
And I am terrified to get a new stylist.
I have no idea what my problem is. It isn’t as if I have a complicated style. I have a bob. I don’t even have bangs or anything. Really, all you need to be able to is cut in a straight line and not piss me off.
This has happened to me before. I lived in Orlando for three years and I drove to Ft. Lauderdale every 8 weeks to get my bangs trimmed. It is as if I have some weird Stockholm Syndrome type attachment to my stylists.
You know how they say that once your baby is finally born a lot of women develop a strange attachment towards their OB/GYN? It is sort of like that.
(I miss you Laura!)
Well, it is clear that I have issues, but I am going to have to do something about it. I am starting to look like some sort of dirty hippie and since I am in no position to fly Laura up here just to cut my hair I am going to have to find someone local.
Who has a stylist that they love in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area?
