My exit speach.
I’m Samantha. I like to cook, eat and drink coffee, I love my cat. I love to read, I have this stack of books next to my bed. I like crossword puzzles, I like the radio, and my shuffle. I am being taught how to sew by my aunt on an antique sewing machine. I have a boyfriend who I can talk to about anything. I have a sister who is my best friend. I am really close to my family. I love to...
I'm very tired.
Anyway, yesterday I acquired a White sewing machine which someone modified from rotary to electric and mounted in a cabinet. It looks like it just belongs there, in front of my window. After I used my aunts I just needed one…then my mother came to me when I was working at the flea market, she was all excited about these chairs she bought and there was one, sitting right next to her new (old)...

dearcissexism:
Repealing DADT allows SOME LGB people to join… but not officially ANY LGBT person. Or heterosexual T* person, or pan, or trisexual, or asexual, or homoromantic person, or so on and so forth. No one who is trans* is officially allowed to join the US military, no matter what…

My aunt just taught me to sew.
using a hundred year old singer sewing machine in pristine condition with 70 year old thread. I then repaired my sisters long broken boho bag…while watching smackdown.
And tomorrow at work is only a half day and its just me and my work wife!
Life is good.

Good mood blog 2012
I love my apartment.
I love my boyfriend.
I love my family.
I love my job.
I love food.
I finally figured out the next step of my life.
I feel inspired again.
Cat food is on sale at stop n shop.
My bed is so comfortable.
I have so much space. If I organized enough I could make a pantry in the bathroom and stock up on canned goods and pasta so I don’t have to shop as much. I’m...
Bring my computer to geek squad...
I got a virus and I thought “I’ll pay $100 to not have to call my ex boyfriend”. So they tell me “hey you actually have to pay $200 if you want us to guarantee that a lifetime of songs wont be lost” to which I say…hale noo. But I decide to take the risk. So I pay them the money and they say it is going to take five days and I’m like…huh. But I think,...
Computer? Are you back??
or is geek squad trolling me again?

That awkward moment when...
You’re getting driven home by your boss who is Egyptian after a party and hes listening to the same music your white mother “belly dances” to in her free time.
And he and his wife know the words and love the song.
This was my oh moment…
cultural appropriation…
An update.
My boyfriend will be here in six days so inevitably I am completely moronically sexually frustrated.
Works been good, I work a lot…a lot a lot. Like 45-55 hours every week. Probably 60ish when you add my other job (yes other job…don’t worry it is only until March). But my body is getting used to it and I have a vacation coming up.
My apartment is coming together wonderfully....

Buy a corset..
Spend an hour lacing and tucking and pinching just to look in the mirror and realize you look like a chubby librarian in a corset.

So I’ve been snooping around the internet to see if anyone else with my healthcare insurance provider who also has a chronic illness has run into the problem of them telling their doctors that you no longer take your medications and so they won’t cover them anymore… or something(?!) I’m still not…

Things that bother me.
People who pretend reading a lot is something special. Or that people who don’t read a lot are somehow less special. People who pretend that book stores are something magical and the smell of books is infectious blahblah. Reading is something you do or don’t do. You’re either raised to rely on reading as a pass time, or you’re not. It actually has no reflection on your...

So I’ve noticed a LOT of har-dee-har-hars on Twitter and Tumblr concerning the egregious spelling errors of the young and/or black set on the social scene.
Now, more than ever before, you can see through…
Checking in.
I have worked the last 12 days in a row.
Today I came home, after working 9 hours, going to the grocery store, and then made two huge pans of stuffed mushrooms and a pumpkin pie from scratch.
I’m doing my laundry while I wait for the pie to bake and try to ignore the buzzing in my ears.
My boyfriend is spectacular, he got me a new...
and it is even better because I really needed one.
and those are the kind of gifts I love.
This week I worked 52 hours.
Well more than that if you count my Sunday job…that would make it 57 hours. I worked last sunday, monday through friday, I have to work 5 hours today, 5 hours tomorrow, and then monday through wednesday, and friday, and then sunday again. I got a $2 raise…$2! My boss left for vacation and put me in charge, and he said I did such a good job that he wanted to give me a...
I’m sad.
