The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

It's fun for me to write on different crazies out there. The insane things other people do can be quite funny. But I thought what the hell, why don't I write ten crazy things about me. So here goes!

1. One time I thought I was dying. I was taking a shower and saw all these spots on the bottom of my feet that looked like bruises. I kept trying to figure out what I had done or if my shoes caused it. So I went and asked my husband if it was normal to have bruises all over the bottom of my feet (like we already know it's not). My husband reminded me I had colored my hair the day before and that the color had dripped all over the bathroom floor, which I had cleaned up by the way. Okay so I was relieved, but like duh! How could I have missed that one--or better yet forgot that it was "hair color?"

2. I am a perfectionist by nature and will do something over until I believe I have it right or better still perfect.

3. I love to laugh. I make up zany remarks when I am talking to people that come off the cuff a lot easier than it does for me trying to figure out what to write that you all will think is funny. So I am not trying. But I did decide to just talk to you all instead. I am zany!

4. One time I was in the super market-okay this is embarrassing-but I know it has had to happen to everyone ad least once in their lives. I passed a silent fart while I was waiting in line. Okay I was relieved it was silent until I noticed it stunk. OMG! I pretended I forgot something, which more than likely gave the clue to all it was me, and went down the nearest isle pretending to look for something I forgot. Yeah I know that is gross, but what the heck it really did happen to me.

5. I love finding old things and turning them into new treasures. Or like someone will throw out a sewing machine and I will see it, take it home if it is in good shape, test it to see if it works, and if it does, then I store it with all my other finds and have my yearly yard sale of others garbage turned my treasures. I've made good money doing it. Maybe you all would like trying it. It is a lot of fun.

6. My favorite colors are red, maroon, green, and hunter green. I know they are all in the same color family, but thats me.

7. If I could celebrate Christmas everyday I would. I have been in love with Christmas since I could remember. Thanksgiving follows second.

8. One time I was shopping in the mall about ten years ago and I ran into a girl I knew in high school. But she hated me when we were in high school and threatened back then to cut up my pretty face and kill me. So when this chick came up to me in the mall and said, "Hi, Layla Elizabeth?" I pretended I did not know who she was. When she proceeded to tell me I looked just like a girl in high school I casually listened as if I were amused, then politely said to her, "How interesting, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not Layla Elizabeth." She then apologized and said it was a case of mistaken identity but was just so stunned how much I looked like her. Heh! Would you admit you were who you are if the person recognizing you threatened to cut up your pretty face and kill you even though it was back in high school? I don't know, maybe you would, but not me. No way!

9. Talking about high school I was not allowed to graduate with my class because me and a bunch of other girls, who also were not allowed to graduate with our class, ditched a day of school a week before graduation to go to the beach. Now that was a real drag and why to this day I hate Catholic schools. Nothing against Catholics mind you, and I even like nuns, but back in the day those nuns did not have a life-hmmm...I really don't think they have one today either. Do you?

10. Last but not least, but the end of the 10 until I come up with my next 10 for you is the fact that I am a computer geek. I love being a wannabee techie. I have rebuilt and refurbished computers not for money, just for fun! Well, I am not sure that is how a girl wants to have fun all the time, but it is how I want to have fun sometimes!

That's it until next time. I hope you are enjoying crazy me - I am!
