Samantha Grace Mercy Rex II

Let's just break it down character by character this week:

Owen: Don't like your attitude towards Cristina-if you fight for her don't fight with her! So over all of this back and fourth. Reconcile? YES PLEASE.

Yang: BEST CHARACTER AWARD! So happy to see her finally opening up and trying new techniques. Really happy with how things went while she was in Wisconsin...happy she's back! 

April/Jackson: At this point, they're one character. One-let's see Jackson carrying on some of Mark's work please! Two-Although I'm so tired of this craziness from April I'm happy at least they're admitting feelings are involved. Did anyone else watch that scene in the sleep room????

Arizona: Please come back to work. I'm sick of your story line already. YEAH you lost your leg, YEAH your wife promised you wouldn't. Would you rather be dead????? Cut the woman some slack. Besides, Sofia doesn't need 2 dead parents. Callie is the only one with sense in this duo right now.

Callie: YES. Love you, love your strength and love what you're doing for Derek! Can't wait to watch this story line further develop.

Grey: Happy you stood up for your house. Not happy that you're Medusa. 

Chief and Dr. Avery (the woman) YES!!! 

Lawsuit: No no no no no. Leave the poor pilot out of it, and for God sakes LEAVE THE HOSPITAL OUT OF IT! Is it the hospitals fault that you had to fly to another hospital? NO. 

Did the hospital (Owen) sabatoge your plane? NO 

Do I want you to pin it on him? NO

Suck it up.

Preview for TWO weeks from today:

APRIL IS PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The ONLY thing I can not stand about Grey's is their schedule..Every year one week on, one week off, I mean I get it next Thursday is Thanksgiving...but what would I be more thankful for then to go home with a belly full of turkey to watch Grey's?? 

Just wait til the next episode..once that's over I'd say we wont see another until at least after the first of the year. Let the depression begin...........

Cheer up..it's still Throwback Thursday :) 

Sammie Says

Sammie Says: Well if we take an average of your ages it's only 14 so I think it's only fair that you get yours and he has to wait..I mean besides he doesn't even carry a purse to put his tampons in ! 

Sammie Says: Was this secretly posted by my sister? She's from China...it's not her fault. 

You just add 2+2+7+10+3+1-20=5

I mean...common sense. 

Sammie Says: Remember...when one of your senses is lost all of the others become stronger. You know, taste, smell, touch, hearing...USE YOUR RESOURCES PEOPLE!!

Sammie Says: Well duh silly! You could always try printing a picture of a mirror and taping it on, or wrapping your monitor in aluminum foil! I think the most obvious solution though would be to paint it with silver spray paint! 

Sammie Says: If you saw it on Maury then the lie detector test determined that THAT WAS A LIE!

YOU ARE THE FATHER!

In Conclusion

Sammie Says: 

Beauty is in the Eye of the Wallet Holder

Best Primer $3.89 Walmart/Target/Local Drug Stores

Works AMAZING. Only downfall is it is extremely sparkly....I mean you're going to look like Edward standing out in the sun by the time you're done applying but once you put on your foundation you're good to go. 

Best Foundation $9 Walmart/Target/Local Drug Stores

Love the brush that comes with this one. Paired with the NYC primer gives you a glow. 

Best Bronzer $4.48 Walmart/Target/Local Drug Stores

You're not going to look like one of the stars of Jerserylicious but it definitly adds a little something to get the job done. 

Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Pallette in Saint $36

Sephora

The eyeliner that is included in this pallette (not pictured) is not the best. It's super soft and goes on great BUT sharpening it is a lost cause. The edges get sharp and jagged and it's a mess. The colors themselves are GREAT. I especially love Bookworm (brown-third from last) and Enjoy the Silence (gold-second)

Best Mascara $7.98 Walmart/Target/Local Drug Stores

The brush is thick and gives really great coverage-always buy in black! Remember best way to apply is to start at the roots and shake to the tips...same goes for the bottom lashes! 

Best Polish OPI Germany Collection $8.99 each Ulta

I love this one because it's the Germany collection and the names are FABULOUS and secondly there are shades for every season, every occasion. I got the combo back from Ulta for $12.99 that included Nein Nein Nein OK Fine, Don't Pretzel My Buttons, Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs and Unfor-greta-bly Blue.

Hit it or Quit it

I know it's a little late but hey at least you'll know what not to do next year...and if you made any of these mistakes this year let's just hope you were at a kegger...or wearing a mask! 

HIT IT: 

I think this one is self explanatory. Anchors, tights, hat...sold.

Wizard Wanda and Harry Potter:

If you know what Joey looks like....then you know that I love this. 

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich:

Feel free to debate over who gets to be the PB side...but don't forget folks the jelly is just as sweet! 

Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!

Zoolander and Mugatu:

"Merman pop, Merman!!" 

If you can't turn left, or you've ever dreamt of killing the prime minister of Malaysia...this one is for you. Or if you don't have a date I guess..............awkward. 

QUIT IT:

Pope and Nun: 

NO! Seriously? Just stop. You're not Madonna/Guy Ritchie

Besides, doesn't anyone read the news? The pope has his outfit altered so you can see his red Prada shoes!

Out of this World Alien and Astronaut:

WTF

One-you look retarded

Two-you're supposed to look hot on Halloween

Three-YOU ARE NOT NOR WILL YOU EVER BY MY KATY PERRY 

Prom Zombie and Rockstar:

Since when are they a couple? 

No. Quit it. 

Do you even know what this one is supposed to be? 

That's exactly my point. 

If we have to ask what you are-QUIT IT!

(Hansel and Gretel by the way, good luck guessing that one!)

YES MA'AM

When did parents start telling their kids to use manners and then disregarding their own advice? 

Why is this happening? Are people just being lazy with how they raise their kids or have the kids just grown into adults who just don't care? 

1.) When the woman at the bowling alley snickers and questions "Why are you calling me ma'am?" It's called respect! Maybe you should get some....

2.) When someone sends you a personal invitation that says "RSVP" you RSVP!! I don't know if people just don't realize what that means but it's "Respond si vou plait" AKA RESPOND PLEASE. It is a common courtesy when ignored is sooooooooooo annoying.

3.) When you say you're going to do something-DO IT. And if you don't or can't do not leave the person haning. I mean all I can say to this is...RUDE

4.) When someone holds a door open for you (which is good manners enough) at least be polite enough to say "Hey, Thanks!" When someone does something nice or goes out of their way for you in general a "Thank You" is always good practice.

5.) Stop interrupting people! (take notice of this Romney/Obama) I don't know if your parents forgot to mention but when someone else is in the middle of saying something you should let them finish....THEN go ahead and say whatever you were cleverly crafting in your mind while they were still talking.

Now, it is rude to rant..which is the main reason I have made this less of a rant and more of an informative post :) I hope you will all take something away from this post and refrain from doing all of the ridiculously annoying things above!

Perk Up Buttercup

I know it's Tuesday Snoozeday and you feel like the week will NEVER end. 

So today is all about some fun pick-you-ups to help you make it by! 

It could be worse...I mean this could be your car. 

OR worse than that this video could be dedicated to you!

We were never actually together either....awkward. 

But most of all, we should all be thankful we are not shoved into a car with 19 preschoolers on the way to a celebratory lunch.....31 miles away! 

I guess it's not all bad though, she only had to pay a $170 fine and agree to have the children transported back in less "extreme" conditions.

Sunday Funday

 The best way to celebrate Sunday Funday is with these "Slutty Brownies" 

 You'll want to make sure you stock up on the milk before you proceed!!

Ingredients:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

9 Reese Cups

9 Oreos

1 Box of Fudge Brownie Mix (3 eggs, oil and water) 

Spread the cookie dough thin in a 9x9 baking dish (make sure to spray first!) Now we layered the Reese cups and the followed up with the Oreos..I would sugguest swapping those two to help it bake better! 

Go ahead and whip up your brownie mix: all you'll need for this is 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of water and pour over top of your baking dish. 

Let it settle for a minute and go ahead and put it in the oven on 350 for 40-50 minutes-definitely make sure that you check it and make sure the center is NOT gooey before you take it out! 

Wah-La. Layers of warm chocolate chip cookies, followed by gooey peanut butter cups and crunchy oreos all cased in a brownie! Delicious. Make sure to pair with milk.

Flashback Friday

2005

Today, October 12, I just want to take time to dedicate Flashback Friday to my best friend in the whole world GenevieveJennifer Mae Collins Concepcion on her 22nd birthday!!

She is the best best friend that anyone could have! 2012 marks our 8th year friendship anniversary.

I'm so happy that we've been able to share so many experiences together-work, school, prom, weddings and the birth of both our children.

Today is dedicated to Jenn for her birthday!

Love you Jenn :)

YoMamaCare

"It puts in place an unelected board that's ultimately going to tell people what kind of treatment they can have and I don't like that idea."

-Mitt Romney during Presidential Debate on ObamaCare

Really? You don't like the idea of people telling you what kind of treatment you can have but one of your first acts of President (which will never happen) would be to cut all federal funding for Planned Parenthood? Over turn Roe vs. Wade? Propose plans that allow employers to opt out of contraception coverage on religious and moral grounds?

Well Mittens, I don't particularly take fancy to the idea of a MAN telling me what decisions I can and can't make with my own body. Telling me when, where and how I can reproduce.

Planned Parenthood in some areas of this country is the only place where women can go to have basic exams? PAP smears-Mammograms? Provide contraception to women who would other wise be without it? 

"Mitt is pro-life, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or the health and life of the mother"

-www.mittromney.com

Well that's just great, I applaud you for at least acknowledging exceptions to your narrow minded thinking, but how to you plan on enforcing this? A woman must immediately go to the hospital, do a rape kit, press charges in the event that 8 weeks later she finds out she is 

pregnant and needs proof to support her abortion.........yeah, good luck with that.

According to Glamour Magazine, 91% of readers (obviously predominantly female) say insurers should cover contraception like any other medication. And why wouldn't you?!?!?! What is wrong with protecting yourself? I mean..has no one heard the term "Better safe than sorry" ?? Condoms-yeah those are super EXCEPT when they rip, have been sitting in your wallet for 3 years or you just don't "like" them. Abstinence whatever floats your boat. But people..come on. This is 2012 not 1956.

"Look, I've got two daughters, and I want to empower them to make good decisions. They're not going to make good decisions because somebody in Congress is restricting them."

-President Obama to Glamour Magazine 

Women need full access to health care and should never have their rights infringed on. 

Personally, I like controlling my life, my relationships, my body and most of all my choices and I don't ever want to see that taken away from anyone on any level. 

Nashville

Very very exciting news to share with everyone today!

Nashville premieres on ABC tonight at 10 PM.

Now normally, I wouldn't give two cares in the world, until I read this article.

Now if you know me, you know that I have been promoting the Stella sisters on my Facebook and Pinterest

for almost 3 months. They are amazing. If my children grew up to be even half as talented as they are I would be the proudest person in the world.

The producers are literally re-writting the roles to fit perfectly for them.

They have a youtube channel here but by far, hands down, their best performance is their cover of

"Call Your Girlfriend"

You can also buy it on iTunes!

Enjoy Friends...and don't forget it's Wednesday that means:

Modern Family

CSI

Law & Order SVU

Are You My Type?

Every time you go to donate, you're asked for one pint. With that one pint you can save as many as three people's lives. Provide them with more moments and more importantly, more memories they get to create with their family. 4.5 million American's would die each year without life saving blood transfusions. One out of every three seconds someone needs blood. 20 minutes of your time could easily gift to them 20+ more years on their life. 

 Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the United States. One out of every ten people entering the hospital need a life saving blood transfusion. According to ABC News the blood shortage was so bad this September various elective surgeries were cancelled all over the nation. If all blood donors donated just two to four times a year it would prevent blood shortages.

I personally donate platelets-They are highly recommended for donation with my blood type. Platelet donations can be done every 2 weeks-giving you the opportunity to donate 24 times in one year. For every one donation you can save as many as 8-12 lives. Multiply that by 24....I think you get the point. It can take up to two hours to do a platelet donation...but don't worry you get pampered :)

"I'm the only one that posts on this shitty blog and you keep erasing my posts, you're close to losing your only reader. i will stay around only if you post a picture of the next shit you take and leave my posts."

-Anonymous

Hey Anonymous, Guess what?!? NOTHING.

Yeah, nothing. I really don't care.

I figured since you're my one and only reader and I'm on the verge of losing you I should do something extra special. 

Cue your very own post! Quite an honor, considering I never make 2 posts in 1 day. But I figure if anyone deserves it, it's you baby! 

I just want to say that I'm so happy someone is so concerned with my bowel movements and making sure I'm regular. It's great that you even want photo evidence, thanks for looking out!

You should probably monitor my diet as well, make sure I get plenty of fiber...

Also, I would post a picture of my boobs, but I've already had my yearly mammogram. Are you in med school? I mean part of me thinks yes, and part no. Your grammar and spelling are atrocious, yet you have an odd fascination with making sure I'm in peak physical condition....Odd. 

I mean as flattered as I am that you are my only reader, meaning you must have viewed my 5 blog entry over  170 times solely on your own, I kind of....don't care. I mean don't get me wrong, I feel horrible that your life is so slow and boring that that is all you do...but hey, at least I'm here to entertain you. I mean, do you have cable? You could always try to watch cable...Honey Boo Boo is on Wednesdays on TLC. Oh and don't worry, if you don't have cable, I know someone who can help you with that ;)

                              THIS ONE IS DEDICATED TO YOU BABY!

Haters Gonna Hate. 

We're Making it Montag

According to a survey done by the Huffington Post, American adults reveal that, despite the tireless efforts of the Food Network, Bobby Flay and KitchenDaily, 28% of Americans--almost a third--don't know how to cook. Said ignorance was the second-most-cited reason for not cooking regularly. Don't fear my friends, readers and country men...You don't have to be ignorant for long!

Step One: Home Made Sammie Sauce

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef seasoned with parmesean cheese and Sammie's special blend of seasoning (you're not getting that Plankton)

2 cans of meat pasta sauce

1 can of Original Rotel

half block of cream cheese

spoon full of sour cream

3 shakes of Parmesean cheese

Shake in some salt, pepper

Pinch of : 

Thyme

Basil

Oregano

Nutmeg

• Heat sauce on warm 1 hour covered.
• Boil water, add salt, cook 1 box Rotini- al dente. 
• In baking dish, layer Rotini and Sammie Sauce.

Cover entire top of casserole in grated Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. 

Bake uncovered on 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Pair with garlic bread (no need to make from scratch.)

And because I know it's not rewarding enough to simply feed yourself (aka you have to flaunt your delicious creation to everyone) This recipe also yields enough to do this:

Clean out one of the sauce jars, remove label and fill with your delicious Sammie sauce.

Pair with a box of pasta and re-gift! 

And don't worry, if you're still feeling culinar-ily challenged even after reading this, we still have something for you:

5 Things I'm Loving this Month:

1. Return of Grey's. 

I think this one speaks for itself considering here at South Rex Road we have a weekly Thursday special dedicated to all things Grey's I'm sure no-one is surprised to see this at the top of my list. Of course, I'm thrilled all my favorite doctors are back but I have to admit there are some changes that need to be made. (SPOILER ALERT AHEAD) Step one: Lexie and Mark come back to life, fall in love and FINALLY get married and be happy. Step two: Kill Arizona. I understand in a horrific plane crash someone has to die...she has my vote. She is SO moody. C-YA!

In case you missed last weeks episode here is the link:

Remember the Time. Season 9 Episode 2

I know it's addicting, but remember, no Grey's on Thursday October 11th.

2.Barbara Evans

You remember her from MTV's Teen Mom 2. Jenelle's Motha. Well not only did she give us so much on the show to love her for but she also has blessed us with her Twitter page...and it is amazing. 

You can follow her @BabsEvansMTV

3.McDonald's Monopoly 

It's baaaaack. The return of McDonald's Monopoly has American's everywhere stuffing their faces with McNuggets, Medium Drinks and Large Fries to get in on the action. I'm not going to lie...I've got my game board in my purse ready whenever the opportunity presents itself. Do you know how easy those little game pieces are to misplace? Now let's face it...the odds of you actually winning a big prize are slim to none. Actually, according to SignificanceMagazine.org you have more change of winning the lottery...twice. Don't fret my friends-hang in there for the instant wins. I've already scored 5 free medium fries, 1 free McFlurry and 1 free breakfast sandwich. Not too shabby. But if you are serious you can visit Ebay for all the pieces you don't have! Happy Playing my friends...and may the odds be ever in your favor! 

Monopoly Pieces

4.Alex Cross-The Movie

In case you haven't read the series Alex Cross is a character by James Patterson. I only learned of this new movie by a commercial I just happened to catch on TV and imagine my surprise/joy. Although I don't know how I feel about the actor playing Cross yet, I don't have too much else to say for this one....I'll let the trailer speak for itself. 

 Alex Cross Official Trailer (10/19/2012)

5.Studmuffing

This is Glamour Magazine's word of the month. I think this is something we can ALL work into our vocabulary a little more. I mean if Giuliana Rancic can make "amazeballs" work then this is a done deal.
