So in the last few days I have been totally overwhelmed and exhausted by people that wait for someone else to do something (that someone else is usually me). Now, I am not going to rant and rave about poor picked on me... but c'mon people!?!?! If you see a problem, have an idea or want something done why wait for someone else to step up and do it? What are you so afraid of? Failing? *light bulb* That has to be it!! But that is no excuse! We all fail at something at sometime.. does it suck? Sure does! Was it worth it? Umm.. well not always but you always learn from it.
I am not specifically referring to any 1 person when I say this because I see it ALL THE TIME in all areas of my life. Patience is not a virtue I was blessed with. I was however blessed/cursed with Initiative. I have a hard time sitting back and watching something fall apart when I can step in and help it. Now, again I must stress that my way is definitely not the ONLY way or the only "right" way but when the other option is no way I do think my way is best :0) and if you do not like the way I handled it then too damn bad!! Maybe you should get off your a$$ and help. Your opinion is not valid when initially you weren't willing to contribute. I know that I don't have all the answers! and sometimes the best answer is to acknowledge that there is no answer and move on.
*Hopping off my soapbox to go do some yoga or walk my dog*
Now that Spring has sprung... (ish). I was fortunate enough to have a visit from one of my bestest friends VANESSA! She came to Ut for a wedding but she knows she cannot come to my 
neck of the woods and not visit or else I will revoke her "Samiees' Best Friend" card indefinitely. (That's a big deal there are like only 4 of those cards available!)
So Ness and I took advantage of a BEAUTIFUL April day and went to Thanksgiving Point to check out the Tulip Festival. TP did not disappoint! It was sooo beautiful! We spent most of the afternoon perusing the flowers and plotting the theft of a un-inhabited golf cart so that we didn't have to walk our lazy bums back to the car. Too bad all the carts belonged to elderly people 
otherwise... we sooo would have taken one.
May was an interesting month... Interesting INDEED!! I came down with a righteous case of bronchitis the first weekend in May. It took over 3 weeks to go away. (By go away I mean "stopped coughing up nasty-ness every 2-5 minutes and I could walk 3 feet without wheezing.)
I spent 12 glorious days with my sisters (4) offspring while she and her hubby where lounging 
on a cruise ship bound for Alaska and living the high life is Seattle.
My sister asked me to do her this favor... oh over a YEAR ago!!!! and apparently I was delusional at the time so I said yes. Ya... me?! the one that HATES when people touch my stuff and needs at LEAST 2 hours ALONE to decompress from my day is going to spend 12 days with 4 kids...
As the trip approached I realized what I signed myself up for. 4-children plus 3 horses, a dog, a goat, a bird, chickens and ducks. YA... I must have been insane to accept this task. But none the less I accepted my fate and took on these little brats (Not brats I love them like they where my own). Things went pretty well I think. I shocked them with my ability to cook (I cooked 2 out of 12 nights)as well as my insisting they do their chores. Ya what a drag I am huh? But we all survived and my sister and brother in law returned rested and ready to resume their roles.
I gained a HUGE appreciation for parents out there. Especially the single ones. It isn't easy man. Thank goodness my nieces and nephew are totally awesome and well behaved or someone may have been duck taped and locked in a closet.
So after my adventure in babysitting. I treated myself to a matinee movie. I went to the movies all by myself (GASP)! I have never done that before. I know people that do it all the time but 
this was a first for me. So after getting the car cleaned I went and saw SATC2. While waiting for the movie to start and praying I didn't see anyone I knew in fear they would ask me who I was there with and I would have to admit to being there alone followed by me feeling like a loser, I watched the previews. There was 1 movie that caught my eye. A movie starring Julia Roberts. I have always liked Julia's' movies and based on the preview alone I decided that after my movie was over I was going to buy the book the movie was based on. I am sooo glad I did! Eat, Pray, Love is an amazing book! Really inspiring! The title alone had turned me off to reading it sooner. I thought it was one of those new age, self help, crap books. But no! This lady is as real as they come! She is funny insightful and most of all REAL! So I suggest you pick it up!!!
I have been really busy with clients the last few weeks. There is only 1 word to describe my clients. AWESOME! I seriously do not know how I got sooo lucky to be blessed with these awesome people! They really are more like friends than clients! Friends that pay me to wax and glitter them! Who could ask for more? So if I haven't said it before I will say it again. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME!
Last summer my amazing friend Midge started teaching yoga in Saratoga Springs. Me being the good friend I am started attending her classes! I have done yoga in the past and enjoyed it but for some reason or another I never really stuck with it. Midge has totally changed that! For the last year (off and on thanks to illness and injuries) I have been learning and training with Midge and I love it! I am so calm, relaxed and focused after each session. In the last year I have bought several books on yoga and even made a little space at my house to practice (thanks Mom and Dad for letting me occupy yet another space.) If you live in the area please, please check out the yoga classes at the Avondale academy in Saratoga Springs. Midge teaches on Thursdays and there is another equally awesome instructor on Tuesdays!
Ok this was a REALLY, REALLY long tangent... hope you enjoyed... if not.. to damn bad.
