Worst Idea Ever...

Somehow I jumped on the bandwagon of giving up soda and candy. At least this is a contest to see who can go the longest and $60 could be mine if I win. But I was not really paying attention one night and before I know it I am betting that I could go the longest... me... Samantha Marz... who drinks the equivalence of at least six cans a day. Bad idea. So today is day one. No headache because I have been popping exedrine pills like candy... going to have to slowly cut back on those. So for those of you who spend any time with me... don't tempt me. I am currently in a weak state without my diet coke. I don't even know who I am anymore.

I have time to actually keep some new years resolutions...

They say that you should tell people your resolutions and goals for the year because it keeps you more accountable for actually doing them... so here I go...

1. Read the gospel doctrine lesson and relief society lesson each week before going to church
2. Make a plan to go back to school
3. Get my creative juices flowing again
4. Buy a sewing machine and actually learn how to sew.
5. Actually learn how to use my fancy camera and take more pictures
6. Learn how to use photoshop
7. Work on family history... actually get names ready to go to the temple
8. Travel at least once out of the country
9. Find a job that actually makes me use my brain
10. Move into my own bedroom at some point
11. Keep in better touch with friends
12. Start to live the life I imagined for myself - live it for me!
13. Cook more - try making new things
14. Do my laundry when the basket gets full... not when it explodes
15. Spend more time with my famliy
16. Finish painting my house

Hopefully this year will be one of change for me!

I write poetry...

So this poem stemmed from Vicki's theme of the new year... find a mate in 2008. When one in the morning rolls around the theme turns into a poem that makes you laugh harder than you ever thought possible. So here is what Vicki, Natalie, Tyler and I came up with for our ode to 2008.

Need to find some bait
to locate a date named Nate
from what state? Connecticate
to be your eternal mate
to take you through heavens gate
and honeymoon destinate in Kuwait
and get a great hotel rate
in 2008
it is your fate
its going to be great
otherwise your too late
competitors we must hate and annihilate
like Shareston and Kate
by making them gain weight
because of what they ate (poo)
no longer will they be a candidate
(because they ate poo)
