yeah..but I don't think it's legal
Just a tiny little rant
By Samantha | April 7, 2008
Why is it that when I get a new job–mind you I hadn’t planned on going back to work, but you know how life is, as soon as you think you have it figured out, it changes on you–I get this great phone.
The new boss says go with this carrier because we’re all with this carrier. So I change. And get absolutely no service what so ever at my house. I can’t even go sit in my car and make phone calls. What the heck is up with that?
Oye…so now I must go fight with the phone company and try to port my new number into my old plan that happens to be with another carrier. Like this is going to happen. I might as well try to stop world hunger.
Wish me luck folks.
And I really don’t have time for all this. I have a book I need to write. Oye.

Holy smokes…I’m back, maybe
By Samantha | April 5, 2008
Well, things have definately been interesting around here lately. Hubby got laid off from his job, I’ve had to go back to work and let me tell you I’d been praying highly that I would never have to go back and do that again but it’s cool and not too bad.
I travelled to Atlanta this past week for my training and had a good time. Missed my family though and it’s always hard to be away from them.
But do you ever wonder if your fav authors have normal problems?
yep. You can put a great big check mark by that item. Whew.
And when I decided that I finally needed to have a Wii because it looks like so much fun and primarily because Dakota and Ter keep talking about it giving me Nintendo envy so l what’s a girl supposed to do? And you know it, of course there is not one fricken Wii in the state of North Carolina. My luck right? I know tis true.
And if you happen to work in a store that sells Wii’s in the state of North Carolina. Have pity on a women who doesn’t have one and save your crackerific commentary for someone who isn’t stressed out to the max okay? Okay. I really appreciate it.
Other than that the family is doing good and I think we’re gonna be okay. Wish I was going with everyone to RT this year but I guess I’m gonna have save that for next year.

Hong Kong Fluey
By Samantha | March 11, 2008
What is it you ask? It’s like my version of the flu. I swear, and my boss laughs at me but I swear it is true, that I got the flu from opening our shipment of shoes from overseas. I called it Hong Kong Fluy just cause it sounds cool. I don’t really know where ‘those’ particular shoes came from.
However, I do believe that my dear boss is having second thoughts about nay saying me on the ole fluey patooey because he ain’t feelin so fine himself this evenin and yeppers he unpacked shipment this week since he finally taught me how to work the register which is something that I really wasn’t crazy about learning. Me and money? eh…not so much. I’d rather unpack boxes or help people. I like helping people. Normally.
I digress. So all last week I was sick and I’m only feeling up to about 50% so far. We’ll see how the rest of the week goes. There’s been lots of stress at my house and I hate to even bring this up but if you don’t see me for a little bit I want cha to know why. My hubby, the man that puts up with all my nonsense, works in the construction industry and if you follow the news even a little bit you know that his industry is sucking wind bad. Especially for residential. Well, it finally hit us and we got the news quite suddenly last week that like he wouldn’t have a paycheck at the end of this month.
Wammo!
Tell me that doesn’t suck right? So we’re scramblin’ and trying to make arrangements and figure stuff out so if I seem to be a little well, off kilter shall we say? You know why. It sucks. It’s life. And we’re gonna make it through this but if you could see your way to like keep us in your thoughts. We’d sure appreciate it!
Till next time, you guys stay well and don’t let that Hong Kong Fluey catch you!!!!

OMG…I’m sick
By Samantha | March 7, 2008
I’m sick, so please forgive me for not blogging. I know that the blogging police may come to get me, but please just put me out of my misery. And you know? Matt Damon stinks as an imaginary boyfriend. He never calls, never comes by. Tis sad, especially when one is a sick puppy. But he is still pretty and smart so I’ll leave you with a picture.

Who’s your secret crush?
By Samantha | February 29, 2008
I have to admit there are a couple of them but first and foremost is my hubby. I crushed on him when I was sixteen and I haven’t stopped crushing since. And well, he knows about the other guys. LOL
While I like Gerry Butler, James McAvoy and several others there is one top gun in my stable so to speak. The one man who when I hear his voice on the television or the radio that makes my heart stutter and where ever I am or whatever I’m doing I must stop and go find out where he is. And that man is
Sam Elliott
He is the sexiest man I’ve ever ever seen. My friend AJ is forever teasing me about it but it’s true. Honestly. While I loved him in Rush, I think I fell in love with the kind of character he plays in Conagher. The cowboy who pulls notes out of the tumble weed and then writes his own back. Well, its a bit special and I’ll forever have a place in my heart for him.
So who is your secret crush? Someone you like that maybe you’ve never ever told another soul.

Day one at the shoe store
By Samantha | February 26, 2008
I’m not going to mention which shoe store, because well, that would be bad form and all, but let me tell you that my luck where working is concerned hasn’t gone away. So first day there, and they get the biggest shipment of shoes they’ve ever gotten. Like 72 huge ginormous boxes. Probably like a million pairs of shoes that have to be available to be unpacked, cleaned and on the floor in 24 hours. Holy smack. And who knew how important the way the shoes are placed in the box could be so important. OMG!
But hey, I understand that everybody has got to do their thing. I can appreciate that. And I’m only there part time doing my thang. So it’s all cool, right? Right!
So I’m gainfully employed once again. Hubby wasn’t happy that I wasn’t home at 9:30 though. He had the grumpy face on. We’ll see. LOL. My family is spoiled rotten.

Jumper
By Samantha | February 23, 2008
Went to see the movie Jumper today. Wow. Talk about a bunch of fast action. It was non-stop. I really liked it. Hubby? eh…he wasn’t real impressed due to the lack of a meaty plot. He felt they lost a lot plot wise due to all the crazy special effects. I’m not sure if I agree or disagree. And I don’t really want to spoil it for people. Ya know?
But I enjoyed it. A lot. And let me tell you. Samuel L. Jackson still has it.He is one cool bad dude in this movie. I loved his hair. 
Other than that, I spent today getting tax stuff together. Yuck. And trying to figure out ways to get fired from my part-time job that I haven’t even started yet. Oh, yes. It’s true I”m going to be selling shoes. This ought to be hysterical. I’m not thrilled. And my family thinks its funny. I find no humor in this what so ever. We’ll see how long it lasts. *grin* I’m sure I can get fired for something, if I try hard enough. No, really, being serious for a moment, I need to help out a bit so I guess this is the best way. I could do worse things yes?

Any other H.I.M fans out there?
By Samantha | February 19, 2008
My friend Terri laughs at me because I love H.I.M. and think that there is something soooo sexy about Ville Valo. I cannot put my finger on it. And no offense Ville, but it’s not like you’re this gorgeous-make me drop to my knees-incredibly hunky dude.
But there is something in his eyes when you watch him sing, this confidence that exudes sex appeal. It would not be a far stretch for me to paint him as a super-natural creature. A muse, a vampire, or some other naughty creature. Maybe a male siren. He has the most wonderfully deep voice that sends chills down my spine.
Take a listen here and tell me what you think.

What bands or singers defy rational logic for you? Or better yet, that you get totally ragged on about by your friends?
