Cousin love.
I got attacked and brutally beaten by my three little cousins this Christmas.
The process.
I’m at the airport. Getting to my home in the Bahamas is always such a process. It doesn’t help that I have four bags to lug with me. Yep - two suitcases and two carry-on… but what can you expect when you are your parents personal smuggler?
My Favorite Mistake by Sheryl Crow is playing in the airport right now. I got a good 5 hours of sleep so I’m wide awake. I have a lot...

Re: Book Suggestions
BTW! I meant to say thanks to everyone for the book suggestions. I wrote a bunch of them down and intend on hitting up a book store in Ft. Laurderdale Saturday. Jodi Piccoult is amazinggg to all of you who recommended her. I’ve read almost all of her books. She’s probably one of my favorite authors. Also - to whomever suggested Looking for Alaska by John Green (the thread is too far...

Tis' the Season.
I feel like my life just kicked into overdrive. Black and White Party was such a success :) However our house is literally in shambles. I feel like I keep cleaning and it’s still not getting better haha. Aside from this, I just spent all day running around like a crazy woman getting last minute Christmas gifts. I keep forgetting that today is Christmas Eve. Christmas is tomorrow! Fortunately...
Book Suggestions :)
Holy shiitake mushrooms. I climbed into bed at midnight to read a chapter or two of my book “College Girl”. It has taken me forever to read and I just wanted to finish it. It was an unusual read. Especially with the title. It just seemed so generic. But I actually really enjoyed it and found myself relating to the main characters insecurities. Needless to say, it’s now 2:07am and...
Blizzard.
Several things I’ve learned about blizzards in the past 24 hours.
- The crazy people who trample over each other to get to the grocery stores aren’t all that crazy. It is no fun being stuck at home with nothing to eat but a gallon of pickles, a massive container of cheese balls, and 150 jello shots.
- On the other hand, people in Maryland are bat shit crazy when it comes to snow....
Ugh.
Goooodddmorning!
I just woke up and have to have this mess behind me (and the rest of my house) cleaned before I leave for work at 2. Oh, and make 150 more jello shots. Yikes!
Fly. Play. Repeat.
I think a pause in my current life is appropriate. I need to feel small. I need to feel my environment. I need the waves. I want to separate myself from all of my indulgences. I want to lace up my shoes and hit the pavement every day. I want to run far, far, far. Across the island and back. Seven miles. I’m excited for New Years eve. Fireworks in the harbour. Dinner with my Bahamian family...

Jam-Packed 11 days.
So come Thursday my life is kicking it into first gear. I know the second I am out of my Chemistry exam things are going to go into overload. I just looked at the calendar. How am I going to be in the Bahamas 11 days from now? Can I slow everything down please and catch my breath? I’m writing down my life duties for the next 11 days.

2009 in Review :)
Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Well. I made two. The first was to stop biting my nails. This of course failed. My second new years resolution was to have more confidence in my intelligence. I think I’ve achieved this. Then again - I’ve also spent a lot of time reading this year so I suppose it adds up. Did anyone close to you give birth?...
bahahaha. I think thanks?
Josh: your by far one of my favorite people for many reasons and i would feel lucky to end up with a girl like you. your an amazing person never forget that. and i do love you sam. but in all seriousness i hate you because you have cinnabuns and i dont
Josh: so die

Me: Are you coming into Petco with Harley today?
Mom: I'm about an hour from the house. You don't have four-wheel drive. Gross a person was on 695 and got hit by a tractor trailer. Body parts everywhere.
Mom: No I'm not going to make it.

I had a free night tonight. I’m used to being swamped with school work so having nothing to do left me stir crazy. Around 8pm I figured I’d do some soul searching. I always do this best in Barnes & Noble. That store is my weakness and my outlet all at the same time. I discovered just how much time I could spend in there once I turned 16 and learned to drive.
I met up with Josh to...
News about Antigua.
Ben just got accepted to vet school in Antigua. This means a lot of Caribbean trips for Chrissy. I was stoked about this since I spend so much time in the Bahamas. The downfall? I got Antigua confused with Anguilla. Antigua is further away, and so small that there are no direct flights from Marsh Harbour to Antigua.
I am determined to find some underground way to allow us to see each other. Too...

Mom: Sam don't you have any food in this house?
Me: Not really
Mom: You said you made cookies, where are they?
Me: I ate them all
Mom: What! You said you had an entire tin full yesterday - what happened?
Me: I got depressed about the ravens game and got really high with the guys
Mom: You got high and ate all the cookies!!!?
Me: Yeah...
Mom: Jesus, Sam
I’ve been thinking about this summer. If I...
Jimmy Buffett's Life Story
In four hundred words or less, this is what happened form early adolescence until now: I broke out of the grip of Catholicism and made it through adolescence without killing myself in a car. I flunked out of college. I learned to play the guitar, lived on the beach, lived in the French Quarter, finally got laid, and didn’t go to Viet Nam. I got back into school, started a band, got a job on...
Double Win!
Sooo Friday Josh and I went shopping. I hadn’t been out of the house/library in about 5 days so I went a little overboard with shopping. Mostly because I found two of the best deals of my life. They include a cookie monster zip-up hoodie and a faux fur hat :)
Jumbled annunciations.
Over lunch today my parents and I were laughing at all the words my mom can’t say correctly. At one point my father, a few beers deep, burst out laughing and yells “Swashbuckler! Say it!” - they erupted in laughter for a good two minutes before my mom said “That’s not fair! You’ve always known I can’t say swashbuckler!”
It was such a stupid, minor...
My ABSOLUTE favorite Christmas song this season!...
Life adventures :)
Today was the first day I’ve had to pull out my winter jacket. The cold weather isn’t helping my sour attitude I’ve had this week. School work is absolutely killing me and I was beginning to wonder if this was all just some prelude to how awful winter was going to be. I’m not a fan of winter. Christmas I love. Cold weather I despise. So of course, to fix my mood I put my...
