"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?
Try some more Pinot...it might help! There is no more mascara dripping...problem? Maybe not!
The movie for "Help me, Help you!" is from Jerry Maguire...that was an easy one.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
