...don't fight the tide, go along for the ride, don't you see?

Here's the link to my new blog:  Sam's Space! 

I have to figure some way to tie it together with LiveJournal if possible.   Any ideas?

The full site should be up soon.  I'm still working on the graphics and that takes me forever.  I like to do them all by hand and I can be a perfectionist at times.  Hopefully it'll be totally done by New Year's.  I'll keep ya posted!  As for now, SLEEP!!!

Woohoo! My new laptop (Trudie) arrived yesterday! So far I love it! It takes a little getting used to the mouse/touch pad and I am trying to get it all set up to the way I like it. I'm actually in the living room using it now! I really wish there was an easy way to transfer files and stuff between computers. I'll do some research because I am sure there is a way to share information between my PC and the laptop.

I went to Omega last night for a little bit. I didn't drink at all because I was just exhausted from the last couple of days that I really just wasn't in the mood.

I am SERIOUSLY craving chocolate cake! If you bring me some I'll be your best friend!!! I am sensing a trip to LoveCafe in y VERY near future.

Time to get my rear in gear. Have a good one!

For some reason I am just a bit tired today.  Well not really tired but I feel like I am in a grey fuzzy cloud moving in slow motion.  I hope it passes.  I want to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the play tonight!

Last night, I hung out with the Awesomeness that is Sean.  It has been way too long!  We had a good time yapping about this that and the other.  We went to Eggspectation in Silver Sprung.  Great food and cute waiter!  I had the Crab Omelet and Sean had the Classic Egges Benedict.  In case you couldn't tell from the name of the restaurant, they have a thing for eggs.  Afterwards, we went on a DVD search!  Sean was looking for "Dbwyraoa" (name scrambled to protect his MANLY image. LOL LOL), and I was looking for "Ju On" (the original The Grudge).  Unfortunately, neither could be found.  All in all it was a fun night and hopefully we will do it again soon (ARE YOU READING THIS CORBETT???)

Woohoo!  I found both of the abovementioned DVD's (Who is the AWESOME one now? ;-) )  I got stuck in the Presidential bru-ha-ha that was going on at Arlington Cemetery on the way to the Best Buy in Patomac Yards but other than that, traffic was non-existant.  Now I have to go over to my Gramma's and fix her windows, come home and prepare for the theater, find some vittles, and get some sleep!  I really just wanted to play video games all day and straighten up a bit but i doesn't look like I will have any time for that at all.

Oh!  I forgot to mention that they are taking out my Gramma's gall bladder today.  She should be home tomorrow.  And... 199 Lbs!   4-9 to go!  Woohoo!

Today was pretty blah.

My computer died on me twice today and they finally got me a new one around 3:45...15 minutes before time to go. I spent most of the day doing whatever mundane task I could to fill the time until it was fixed. I can definitely live the rest of my life without EVER shredding another piece of paper.

On a high note, I managed to get 2 good tickets for Miss Saigon this Thursday! Woohoo! I was going to order them online but I REFUSE to pay 9.00 PER TICKET to Ticketmaster for a "Convenience Fee". What the frick ever! I just drove downtown and sure I had to circle the block 5 times but I did eventually find a space. Far better than being raped for convenience sake! It should be a good show.

Well I am off to bed! Ciao!

My Gramma had tests run yesterday and it turns out she has Gall Stones. WOOHOO!!! That is a much better diagnosis than we were expecting so now we are all breathing a collective sigh of relief.

That's all for now! Can't wait for the holiday Thursday! Gotta love those government holidays! :-)

Hi folks!  Hope everyone had a decent weekend!  Mine was pretty good with the exception of my Grandmother being rushed to the hospital on Friday.  She is still there as of today and they are running tests to see what is going on.  I'm going to visit her tonight so maybe we will know something by then.

On a lighter note, I FINALLY went to Remmingtons!  My friend Nick came over on Saturday and we had dinner (Crisp & Juicy...YUM!) and watched Saved (Mandy Moore is a RIOT in this movie!).  Afterwards, we went to Remmingtons.  This was my first time going and I was really impressed.  Absolutely no attitude and the people were very friendly.  I am so not used to that in the bars that I go to.  The funny thing is,  I have never been more frightened to get on a dance floor in my life!  Usually, I am the first one out there doing my thing but, at Remmingtons, they do 2-stepping or line dances.  Apart from the quickie lesson that Nick gave me before we left, I have NEVER 2-stepped in my life.  It is kind of intimidating and strangely intoxicating seeing everyone going around the dance floor spinning, twirling, shuffling.  Well I got my nerve up and Nick and I danced to a really slow one and I did fine.  I did a little better on a fast number but I couldn't relax because I kept thinking we were going to run into something!  Third time I went out on the floor with Jim and actually did MUCH better.  He actually spun me around a couple of times!  I had a GREAT time!  I am going shoe (I HATE boots!) shopping this weekend and plan to attend the Beginner 2-Step classes starting on Nov. 22.  It should be fun and at least I'll get to meet new people.

I am so glad that this is a short week!  I REALLY need a mental break!

Oh!  I ordered my laptop! And I finally have my own domain!  SAMSSPACE.NET coming soon to a PC near you!   I'll keep you updated as to when it goes live becuase my Blog may get transferred there (once I figure out Moveable Type!).

Anyways, time for work!  Have a good one!

I won't wallow in the election that was but I do have to say that it is going tobe a loooong 4 years!

On a side note...I saw my first Christmas themed commercial today!  DAMN!  I still have the taste of candy corn in my mouth!!!  I swear they start earlier and earlier every year!

Today my sister would have turned 34.  R.I.P., Shalita.

2 things I RARELY talk about: Religion and Politics.  I saw this comic today and found it funny and it hits a little on both:

Well, not really a hit on religion but funny nonetheless. :-) If you don't know what C.P. Time is.. too bad for ya!  LOL!

HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!
