My intro post!

Well, this sure feels familiar... :)

After a lot of thought I've decided I'm going to start blogging again.  I miss it for various reasons, but I feel that this blog will be a little different than my previous one.  (You may remember me from Sami by the Sea; if not, I won't hold it against you! ;)

So I guess first, I'll tell you a little bit about me, and then a little bit about what to expect to see in this blog!

Hi!  I'm Sami, let's be blogfriends! :)  I'm not really great at writing introductions, so I'll get right to it - I'm 30, living in coastal North Carolina with my wonderful boyfriend and our twin white cats, Kerrigan and Finnegan. I work with animals (more accurate: their crazy owners) for a living and drive an amazing 2000 Acura Integra, the best car ever!

I thoroughly enjoy soccer and my team of teams is Arsenal.  I won't lie, I am a huge fanatic!! ;) I'll also root for AC Milan and any of our US teams, but I don't watch much outside of the Premier League and Serie A. (We don't get streams here for other leagues!)  I also adore photography and shoot with a Nikon D3000; you will likely see photos posted up here in this blog.  I'm also into fitness and eating healthy... I've been pretty active all of my life and have only recently slipped out of it due to work and finances, but I'm getting back on track now and it feels great. :)

I also LOVE the beach.  How can you not, when you live 5 minutes away?  The southern coastal life, is my life. :)

The title of this blog is actually named after a local hot sauce, but I think it works well here for me.  While I may not be a complete Carolina fireball every day, I like to think it epitomizes how I feel about life and happiness!  (And salsa, I like it spicy!)

This will likely be the longest post you see here on this blog; my goal here is to keep posts short and sweet.  I used to do the longer post thing but after a while I found it to be more of a chore than fun anymore, so here you'll get snippets.  Photos, lyrics, maybe a recipe or two, and vignettes from my everyday life.  I think it'll be a little more refreshing and easier to keep up, and hopefully whatever readers I may acquire will enjoy it as well. :)

SO!  Hello, nice to meet you, and hope to see you soon!

( PS, I need to work on this layout!  Any suggestions? )
