Celebrate your Awesome-ness!!!!

Last week was the anniversary of my "awesomeness" aka Birthday. Since I do not want to get another year older I changed it. I can do that it is my life so don't judge me! HAHAHAHA

It was a marvelous day! I slept in and then went to lunch with Vanessa! (She was in town doing some jewelry shows) We ate at the Cheesecake Factory in Murray and it was yummmmm! The waiter was really great too! He and a couple other guys sang to me and then insisted on getting a picture taken with me. (Vanessa has that evidence). I must say they made my day pretty special.

While eating our tasty treats the waiter came and asked if I was having a party or anything that night. I responded, "No, just going to hang out at home and watch Criminal Minds with my Mom." In hindsight I realize this was a bit lame and dorky and he prob felt sorry for me.Nessa thinks he was hinting he wanted an invite if there was a party.

Now, in case you are wondering, yes, I am completely clueless when it comes to being hit on (except when I have had a few drinks. For some reason I am completely tuned into men being interested in me when slightly inebriated... go figure).

In the moment I usually do not understand that is what is happening. I blame the fact that I am so straight forward. I do not speak in code. I am direct. Ness decided to help her friend out and tried to leave the waiter my tel#. Thankfully she was unable to do it because he was standing there chatting with me and she could not be discreet. Not gonna lie I would have been mortified had she left him my #. After lunch we went over to the mall and all afternoon she kept kicking herself for not leaving my #. HAHA
The rest of my "Day of Awesomeness" was great!! I am really really blessed for all of the awesome people I have in my life. And while I refuse to embrace the fact that I am now in my late 20's and a stones throw away from 30. I remain me! I still wear Vans shoes and band t-shirt to work,I eat cotton candy whenever I get the chance. 

Sunday I went with my whole family and Katie and her adorable little fam and we went up AF canyon to TibbleFork to cook some hot dogs. We sat on the shore of the reservoir and skipped rocks let the kids and the dogs play in the water and just hung out. It was FANTASTIC!! I could not imagine a better day!

Samiee sold here????

Since when did all relationships become a used car deal? When did we have to start convincing others that we are as good as we seem? That there is no fine print? and that despite our baggage and hangups we have unlimited mileage?

I for one am not a used car or a used car salesman. I am not talking anyone into liking, dis liking, believing in me or signing on any dotted line. You don't have to have a perfect credit score or a co-signer for this deal. Just understand that what you see is what you get. There is no run around, no games just me. Sold as is:) JD power and assoc have not given me any awards so don't start looking in my windows and asking for a test drive if you are still hung up on your current vehicle. Doing so will only deter any serious potential buyers. Hmmm the more I write the more I realize, "wow... I just may be a used car".......


If you don't like what I am then please move along obviously this is one ride you can't handle (no dirty innuendo intended) haha.

I have Techno JOY!!!!!

If you haven't checked out the stand up of Eddie Izzard I highly recommend it! He is the funniest tranny I have ever seen!


Anyway, as an early birthday present to me I bought the NOOK from Barnes and Noble!aka Edgar. I love it!!!!! There are so many amazing books avail for free or for less than I would have paid for them. PLUS the most appealing part is that I do not have to find somewhere to put the new books!! SCORE!

So after I bought Edgar I decided I needed to get a case to carry it in. After looking online I saw that they where a bit overpriced so I decided to go buy some fabric and sew one. Ya I know what your thinking... Samiee you don't sew. Well this is true I don't. Except for rag blankets for friends new babies.But I decided I would give it a whirl. I found some REALLY cute fabric at wal-mart came home and check out what I created!!! I do not mean to toot my own horn but DAMN I did an awesome job! No pattern either!!!

This is my Nook and its new case!!

So in summation I love my new Nook and I will prob be even more of a book nerd than I already am!!! The first book I am reading is "The Help" by Kathryn Stokett. so far I am really enjoying it!!

Thank you for being a friend............

Why the hell do all my friends move away? WTF? For reals...  I don't like it so  knock it off! Stay here so we can continue our outrageous antics! For hells sakes!

OK done with that little outburst. In all honesty I do not like that some of my closest friends usually end up moving away. I am beginning to get a complex about it! (no I am not... OK yes I am.)

Vanessa moved to Vegas and now is settled in Indiana. Shaun and Virginia moved to Cali. Mark and Kathy moved to Logan,Vickianna moved to North Carolina. Morgan joined the navy and is currently in Japan.... and now Sarah is moving to England! Seriously people?? Can't we all just stay in one friggin place????  The ONLY  upside is that I have cool places to visit.....

Thank heavens for technology! Without Facebook, blogging, texting, blogging etc.  I would never get to keep up with my friends that are scattered WORLDWIDE! Although, I would trade in all that technology ANY DAY to have them all here with me all the time!

I am grateful for those awesome friends I have that have stayed in the area otherwise I would be a seriously lonely girl! I also am sooo blessed to have an assortment of pals, friends, buddies, gals...etc. that range in ALL ages! This is def. because of my wide array of interests. I mean how many gals do you know that LOVE LOVE LOVE make-up, hair, nails, reading, kicking, throwing, punching, choking people, fishing, hiking, shooting, horseback riding, yoga, tattoos, camping, four wheeling, art, flowers, dogs, shopping, drinking, dancing... and I am sure there are other things that I love that I can't think of right now... so ya I know a few people. Also, living in the same town for 99% of my life also means I know a few people.

I think that before I make any new friends there are going to be a couple pre-requisites.
 1) No moving away! You must stay withing a 100 mile radius.
 2) No marrying someone that is gonna make you move. (OK that isn't fair but it is more of an I have my fingers crossed and hope that doesn't happen but if this person is your "soul mate" who am I to interfere?) Guess that means I will have to get a credit card with air miles *sigh*
 3) If you are male... please do not assume I am in love with you. Just because you are male and I am female and we hang out a lot doesn't mean I am in love with you. Like you? YES... Love Love? Prob not. If I did you would not wonder... you would KNOW!
