ABC's of Me! (A Very Random Wednesday!)

Sorry I haven't been posting as much lately. Last week I sort of lost my job.  I say sort of because I wasn't fired, and I didn't quit.  My hours got cut back, my feelings got hurt, and I basically said "I'm looking for another job".  Going from 40+ hours every week down to like 10-15, well Sammie likes to Shop and that is just not going to cut it.  It's just not worth my time.  Add to this the fact that I routinely went in on my days off and didn't get paid for it, bought all the supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, ect) and never got reimbursed for it, I  decorated and undecorated for the Holidays by myself, and really it's just time for me to move on.  I love my coworkers, I love my members, but it is time for me to find a job where I will be appreciated. Anywho, I found this fab little list after Mariel from LivingForHisGlory posted it!  Y'all know I LOVE some listy type questions!   A: Age. I am 24 years young! B: Bed Size.  I have a full since it's just me and my room is microscopic. C: Chore you hate.  Dishes.  I hate touching other people's plates after they've eaten off them.. Idk why but it really grosses me out. D: Dogs.  I'm much more of a Cat person.  I like most dogs, but they can make me kind of nervous, and I'm sort of allergic. E: Essential start to your day. Coffee.  Coffee makes me a very happy girls. F: Favorite Color. Pink.. duh! G: Gold or Silver.  Either, I rock them both. H: Height. 5'5.. okay.. 5'4.5... but I round up. I: Instruments play(ed).  Piano, Guitar and Violin.. But I don't play any of them anymore. J: Job Title.  Currently I'm a Circuit Coach for a Gym, but I'm also looking for another better job. Oh! and a Full time Student K: Kids. I don't have them, and I'm not 100% sure I want them.. Babies really freak me out.  I like kids, but babies are scary.  Maybe I'll adopt a precocious 7 year old. L: Live. North Carolina M: Married.  Nope.  Maybe someday again.. N: Nicknames. Sam, SJB, Sammie, Sammie Joe, Hey You! O: Overnight Hospital Stays.  None. P: Pet Peeves. Too many to name.  Fakes, Name Calling, WannaBe's, Drama Queen's Q: Quote. I have so many favorite quotes, and words to live by but today's is: Keep your Head, Heels and Standards High. R: Righty or Lefty. Righty S: Siblings. One older sister.  16 years older to be exact. T: Time you wake up.  By Alarm: 4am. Naturally: between 8:30-9 U: University attended. Pfeiffer University. V: Vegetables you dislike.  Lima Beans W: What makes you run late.  Not being able to find shoes.  9 times out of 10, I'm missing like one shoe.. and I will spend 5-10 minutes looking for it, and then usually I end up changing my outfit to match a pair of shoes that I can actually find. X: Xrays you've had.  Teeth and my hand when I broke it. Y: Yummy Food.  OMG.. I love food so much.  Last night I made a super yummy Chicken Casserole.  Hot Homemade Chips and Ranch, Cookies hot out of the oven that are still gooey in the middle.. I make lots of yummy food. Maybe I should start posting recipes on here? What do YOU think? Z: Zoo Animals.  My Favorite's are the big cats.  Big Pretty Cats. Linking up today  Wednesday Walkabout Weekly Wednesday BlogHop

About Moi! Parte Uno

I'm not really bilingual.. but I wish I were!! I can speak a bit of French and a bit more Spanish. I frequently toss random words from other languages into conversation (I think it makes it spicy!)

I am the youngest daughter of my parents, Momma & Dr. B (well.. He's working on his Doctorate in "Collegiate Education".. but he's a smarty pants so I call him Dr. B).  I have a sister.  She's a mess.  There is 16 years between us..we speak frequently.. we rarely hug, but that could have more to do with the fact that she lives in Alabama and we're in NC. She has two kiddos, Nanna & Bubba (no, those are not their names.. people are creeps) Here's some family photos:

Momma, Nan & the Dr.

the Dr, Momma & Cinderella (my mom's satanic cat from hell)

the Seeessstteeerr, Bubba & Momma

We are a lively bunch, that's for sure.

I am the manager of a Curves (yess the Women's fitness facility, no it's not just for old ladies). I work about 40 hours a week, plus I get LOTS of phone calls "Sam, we need this.." or "Sam, the computer wont come back on".  I love my job, my staff and my members, but sheeesh.. I need a vacay!!  I go to school full time at Pfeiffer University. I want to be a teacher, specifically Elementary, but I'm hoping for 3rd, 4th, or 5th. I don't think I have the patience for Kindergarteners.  I really LOVE my education classes though, they are fantastic!

Why am I 24 years old and just now in college? well.. because while most people were goofing off, getting drunk, and joining sororities, I was in the Navy.  Granted, I did my fair share of drinking as well. It was fun, but I'm much happier as a civilian. I got to see some amazing places, meet some awesome people, and made a few mistakes as well, but at the end of the day, I learned a lot, and I'm thankful for that.

Okay, I've been boring enough for today... I'll post more about moi some other time!

Enjoy your humpday!!
