"Monday morning when I wake up . . . "

Call me crazy, but I love Mondays. Yes, it is true. I love this day that everyone else in the world hates. When I'm working I love Mondays because I go to work feeling refreshed and I can 10-key it all day long. By Friday, my back hurts, my neck hurts, I'm tired, and I just can't type as fast. When I'm not working I love Mondays I think because I have too much time on my hands on the weekends, not enough to do, I get bored, I think way too much, and I end up in some nerve-wracking frenzy. Then Monday morning shines through my window and I'm ready to get up and start the day, refreshed, ready to be busy, ready to do everything I tell myself all weekend I'm going to do in the next week...which, actually, only about half of those things ever get done.

This particular Monday morning I am feeling especially awesome. Productive. Ready to conquer the week with a new found fervor. I have phone calls to make, I have a stair master with my name on it, a tanning bed for my mid-day 20 minute nap, classes to attend (in my last week of classes before finals, I might add!!! YAY!!!), I have a new outlook on my not wanting to be the aggressor and pursor in the AOC stituation, I have a trainer to bug and yell at, I have new books to buy, I have a grocery list with all the correct foods that I will eat from this day forward, I have a family to spend time with this evening after class, I have a closet full of clean clothes, I have an apartment that has been picked up a little, and cleaning to finish up, and I have in general a bit of a feeling of serenity . . . Only good things, Samantha . . . only good things!

I have my new schedule worked out for next semester already. Do these classes sound fun to you?

1. Spatial Analysis
2. Migration and History
3. Deviance and Difference
4. Geography of Europe

I watched this cheesy movie, Noel, last night. A movie all about the Christmas spirit, etc. Cried my eyes out. I don't seem to be able to cry for myself and my real life anymore (after years of putting mascara on Jess' shirts in high school), but OMG, I cry like a baby at the silliest things on TV, movies, songs . . . commercials!!! Great big, sobbing, I can't breathe crying . . .


Small Note: I've started trying to add and change movie quotes, lines of songs, etc. to the description of my blog under the title . . . something to amuse myself, but want to play along and guess them?

What on earth??? You love Mondays because you have so much energy and you can't wait to get to work? And you're looking forward to those strange classes and you cry at movies?

Actually, I don't mind Mondays ... usually everyone is still in a daze from the weekend. It's those Tuesdays I have to look out for. The classes ... well, anyway, it's okay, crying at movies is a good thing. You and Steve would get along great ... see here.

Jeanette - I don't just simply cry at movies. It's like my bladder is near my eye...tears pouring, nose runny, sobbing uncontrollably...it really is kind of sick.

Josh - You're kidding right? You do really know that that line is NOT from Revenge of the Nerds 2? This is one of those times where you're trying to annoy me with what you believe to be your amazing wit, but is really just fodder for me to be so annoyed with you that I have to question our friendship everyday?

Oh shit! I so suck at the movie line game. Don't you know this about me? If the actor's name isn't Johnny Depp, and the movie line isn't from Grease, I don't know them. Pick a new game. Bet I can kick your ass in scrabble.... Give Jeanette some of that mascara..it's her turn..you've ruined one too many of my clothing items. Josh -- do you have mascara woes?

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
