Well Looky Looky



My fortune yesterday. Perfect, no??



Who's got the weekend off!  Thats right ---> THIS GIRL! <---  Can't be ALL work and NO play!  Jake is working all weekend, which is sad for me :( BUT that means I can get lots done.  I plan on deep-cleaning the house again (sigh), getting a bunch of sleep, finishing the laundry, and MOST importantly visiting "my" purse at Norstrom.  I havn't decided if I should totally splurge and treat myself or not, so right now it's alllllll about visitation.  I'm typically SO not the kind of girl who goes for brand-y purses.  I think its absolutely ludicrous to spend a ton of money on a freaking bag that just carries your junk and sits on bathroom floors, yet I may be willing to make an exception!  And let me point out that there is nothing more hideous [to me] than coach purses with their obnoxious "C"s.  Well, that and any brand of handbag with a stupid logo that is duplicated repeatedly to create a print.  Yuck!  I feel like they SCREAM pretentious, and besides that, they are the MOST faked.  Who wants to carry around a cheap imitation??  They bag *I* want is solid tan pebbled leather.  Its basic, but lovely.  I don't really know why I'm so intrigued by this bag in particular but I love it!  Maybe because it's simple, but luxurious.  Ahh... idk.  We will see if it ends up making the cut, and if I make this crazy purchase that I will surely regret....   Well, cheers to the weekend!

I love. . .

"Friends" that only call you when they need and/or want something. Um, NOT.

Don't I look like an ANGEL?

I chew on giant rocks.

Look what I did to mom's exercise ball



Another deceiving face



The only time we're ACTUALLY good.



Subliminal Message #2

Something verrrrry peculiar is going on the Sample household.  First, the hubby burns dinner,{get up to speed here} and now, today, I realize that we have . . umm . . NOTHING to eat in this house.  Usually I'm over exaggerating when I describe anything, but as proof that unfortunately there is no exaggeration this time, I have evidence:  A photo of our fridge. 

My superstar hubby not only cooks but he also does the grocery shopping.  This means I don't get anything that I want, but it also saves me the stress and hassle of going to the store.  Plus, grocery isles distract me and I always end up with a bunch of sugary stuff that looks good, which ends up being expensive, AND which ends up in the trash a year later when it expires because I forgot about it.  Total waste!  I also hate to pushing the germ-ridden busted-wheeled grocery carts that refuse to travel in a straight line.  In fact, that's one of the reasons I knew Jake was "THE ONE", he hates walking beside the cart, and I hate pushing it. DING DING DING: match made in heaven!  But anyway, I'll save that story for another day. 

So, here I am, starvin' like marvin and there is not a thing to eat in this house.  So either:

• A.) Jake has not grocery shopped in the hopes that I'll do it, start doing it ALL the time, and like it. [Doubtful.] or
• B.) We're even poorer then I thought??!  Hmmm.......

UM.. I Think...

{ Made with Love }

 My husband is trying to use some weird form of reverse psychology on me.  Tonight, he asked what I was cooking for dinner.. [Umm.. duh, I HATE cooking so I hardly ever do it!] So I replied that we're having whatever he's cooking. (he's usually A W E S O M E in the kitchen/on the grill!)  Well he decided on breakfast for dinner - *score, one of my faves!* but let me tell you.. he totally SMOKED OUT the house, which is a pet-peeve of mine.  Ugh, it burns my eyes and throat, and worst of all it makes my hair smell yucky.  :P Clearly he had the temp up entirely too high.  ANYWAY, the sausage was friggin burnt to a crisp and the eggs were crunchy. CRUNCHY I SAID!  That is gross!  I felt like a newlywed, trying to be all nice and act like I enjoyed it.  And, actually, I think he really DID enjoy it.  I'm wondering if he's catching on to MY ways, and is thinking if he turns into a crappy cook, that I'll just take over. 

Well-played, Mr. Hubby, but I'm onto your tricks...

P.S. the biscuits were cooked to perfection, and one out of three ain't bad!





A must-share

Okay, so first off, I'm sorry if I'm about to come off as a total nut. This post is about God,even though I typically keep all religious talk private. I'm making a special exception bc I just had to share this awesome series with everyone! It's a worship series that really speaks to me, and gets me thinking. These aren't from the church we attend but I've been very drawn to these especially because I have a fear of dieing and an even bigger fear that the people I love will go to Hell and I'll be in Heaven without them. How can heaven be paradise if everyone isn't there? This series talks about heaven, hell and the afterlife. It's really helped me come to terms with death. It's also made me realize why so many Christians want to share the word with everyone.. It's not because they want to forcefully push their religion on you, it's because they want to make sure YOU let the Lord into your heart so you end up in the right place. Well, okay, mayyyyybe there are a few people who want to force their religion on you, but I swear I'm not one of them!

I'm sure everyone's been to a church service before that doesn't hold your attention, or it was preached in a boring way that didn't speak to you. I know I have! My fave worship services are the ones that speak to me, ones that I get a real message from, and THESE do it. Watch just the first one, I swear you'll at least be interested. This isn't someone reading verse by verse from the Bible in cryptic code that you cant understand or relate to; verses are broken down, through-ally explained in plain ole English. Okay..seriously watch one!
