Pretty much. I've been working 2 jobs usually from 8am-8pm most nights. Last night I decided to leave at 7 and I went home and CRASHED! Oh yea, that's right...and I slept allllllllll night long!
That makes me wonder if something is wrong with me? hmm.

Who would have thought!
After laying in bed this morning, REALLY not wanting to get out...I was interestingly surprised by what I found myself listening to! DREW CAREY is replacing Bob Barker as the host of Price is Right!
How wrong is that?!?! That show was like the "I'm home sick from school just so I can watch TV" show. I really do think that it was the deciding factor of if I was really sick enough to stay home or not. How sad, but true nonetheless. I'm not sure if my kids will now ever get that same joy when they are home sick because of this.

Quack
What do you do with sensitivity? My good friend’s mom always used to tell her to let things roll off her back like a duck. Jessi would tell me this often. Sometimes I just wonder where that line is between letting things roll off of one’s back and actually being hurt. It seems as if that line is much more blurry in my life. I would love to let things roll off of my back, but honestly, it seems like I get hurt more often than not. I must not be that much of a duck after all.

Anyone have a TV?
Andrea and I have been getting settled in to our lovely new home and well in process, something must have happened to her TV...it's broke!
Well this morning we wanted to do Pilates, but I couldn't find it, so I asked her if she wanted to do Core Rhythms (Those of you who watch infomercials at 2am know EXACTLY what I am talking about!) which is a dance oriented type work out with Julia Powers (12 Times US Rhythm Champion) and Jaana Kunitz (10 Times International Latin Champion). We ended up having to watch it on my laptop...and well this week has been rather hard. I'm still moving in to my room, I started a new job in student services this week while also still working at my old job. Thank the Lord it is Friday! That is all I have to say! We're actually going to the Flowering Almond Spa for massages after work and have the weekend to relax! :)
But anyway...the reason for writing this is because I got an email from Andrea this morning saying that we need a tv....so that we can "see the moving rythmatic bodies on the tv..." Which made me actually laugh out loud! So if anyone has a TV they would like to donate to us, we'd appreciate it! :)

Hugs not Drugs
One of my biggest pet peeves, well it's not really a pet peeve, it's more like an observation that I am not fond of. It's the whole "patting" hug where the people you are closest with hug you, but as soon as they do, they your back immediately which is almost just signaling that they want you to let go as soon as possible! Or when they come at you to hug you but turn slightly with only one arm raised...they trick you into a "side" hug. I really usually don't care when people give bad hugs, it's just like..."Well, you aren't a good hugg-er, but hey, nothing against you." But when those people are your best friends or family members...someone has to teach them a lesson. I'm just used to getting good hugs from my girls back at Elim...we Christian folk hug all the time! LOL.
But what REALLY gets me...is my own family! Granted I haven't seen them in half a year and when I come home, I get the side hug, no...not even a hug, it's more like a tap. This was my brother and of course, I politely yelled at him and told him to give me a real hug! :) Of course my mother was there and she commented..."Yea, you have to squeeze her until she pops to make her happy, otherwise you'll hear about it!" Haha. This made me laugh...I was like, that's right Mom, at least I have one family member trained! So needless to say...

Think Outside the Bun
It’s sad. I know. But I couldn’t help it. Today I decided to go to church Saturday night instead of my usual Sunday morning at 8:15am. This decision was based on the fact that I have not been able to shake this darn cold and wanted to be able to sleep in tomorrow morning in hopes that this would once and for all get rid of my cold! We shall how that goes…
Anyways, maybe a little past half way through the service, my stomach was yelling at me! It was soooo empty and really really really wanted some food. So of course, my first thought…mmmm $1.65 Fresco Beef Gordita! ☺ Of course, if you are Andrea Phelps, (my good friend and soon to be roommate!) you would say that it would probably rot my insides out, but nothing seemed too harmful about some beef, lettuce, and tomato!
Well I go into the lobby because I decided that waiting until I got somewhere to eat it was a bad idea. I got it to eat there and as I’m waiting, I see one of my favorite Starbucks employees. He was on break…then there was a group of skater boys in the back and as I waited, people kept entering. Then the thought when through my mind…wow Taco Bell must be the spot to be on a Saturday night! Haha. Then it ALSO passed through my mind that I was the ONLY girl in that entire place. By this point, I had seem maybe 3-4 groups of people, that were all guys in the 14-20 year old range. Interesting I know. Well that is my story about my experience at Taco Bell. I hope you have all benefited out of reading this! ☺

Happy 4th!
Well I must say, as much as I enjoyed spending time with friends yesterday...the fireworks were less than great. I guess I am simply spoiled because you see, I have grown up on Lake Ontario my whole life, and every year at the end of July there is this HUGE festival with 7 main stages all across the city, where there are always bands playing...decent ones I must add. Well it is all weekend long and people from all over the state come to our little city for this festival.
On Saturday night they always have fireworks done by the Grucci brothers. Now let me inform you that these guys have done things at the Olympics, New Year's Eve in Time Square, and fireworks for the president himself! So I'm used to seeing those EVERY year! And they are choreographed to music as well, definitely an amazing show. Oh yea, I almost forgot, my Dad works for the company who sponsors the fireworks every year. They have this HUGE section of prime seats all roped off right on top of this big hill...so yea, I usually get it hooked up! :)

The Crazy & Ridiculously Bizarre Adventures of Stefanie
Oh yes, never a dull moment. The weekend started out with the wedding.
Then came my cousin's graduation party where my other cousin decided to drive his Jeep in the creek...oh yes. Very smart decision...especially when he could not get it out! Then my mother and I were on our way to Utica (about 2 hrs away from my house) and got a blowout. A lovely fireman came to help us change it, THEN don't you know it, two of the screws that actually hold the tire onto the rim completely snapped off. Oh yea, my mother was not happy. We had to ride home in a flat bad tow truck with this guy that talked the ENTIRE way home. My dad ended up fixing it...but in the process he put one of the new screws in the freezer in hopes it would shrink a little (it was a tad bit too big, so by freezing it, sometimes you can get metal to shrink just enough). No one really knew he did this, and as he keeps working on this, he must have forgotten what he did with it, because he lost it and was looking for it for a good 2 hrs. The next day, he was getting ice, and started laughing hysterically. Now, my Dad is not the type to bust out into spontaneous laughter, so it was slightly out of character for him. After wondering what in the world he was laughing at, we saw the screw frozen into the ice cube try...it must have melted the ice because it was warm and then ended up re-freezing!
AND THEN! It gets better, I know! Well longer story, hopefully shorter...on my flight home, I was talking to this pilot asking him if he could get the plane back to Va Bch any sooner than 11:44 and ended up talking with him for 2 hours and all of his little plane buddies as well! Oh yea...I found out that our pilot's nickname was "Big Daddy" (the one on the left) and he was the other one...his nickname was "Easy Button." Let me explain, it is exactly how it sounds. He carries an "easy button" around with him. I'm not sure WHY, but nonetheless, he does. He told me when I got on the plane that I could go up to the cockpit and see this "easy button" he is so famous for. Well just as he said...there was a big 'ol easy button (like the ones on the Staples commercials) in the center console. I pushed it, and what'd ya know...I hear, "That was easy!" in the Staples guy voice. Quite funny I must say, but of course...very random! And here is the proof! :)
