I'm Performing this weekend! Yay!

...the Regent Ballroom Dance Class has been showcasing wonderful dancers and their skill-those just starting out, and some who have been dancing for a while. Well this weekend my parents are coming down to Va, so I'm going to be performing at the end of class! Yesterday was our first practice. It went well and I'm super excited!

If you want to see me dance like a star, you'll have to come see me! It's this Saturday at A Time to Dance...if you need directions, shoot me an email (stefpro@regent.edu)

Here's a little hint of what's to come...
...if you're good, you'll figure it out! :)

My lovely experience with a wetsuit

this was me ATTEMPTING to get into a wetsuit...probably the hardest thing i did all day!

Quick Updates

Well this weekend was a COMPLETE whirlwind! I ran the Race for the Cure this weekend and kinda forgot one important stretch! Yea...not a good idea. I haven't run in over a year and decided one day that it was a good cause and that I should sign up for it. I planned on it one month in advance but then got reaaaaally sick, so i kind of put it off. Well the Thursday before the race I ended up registering and now I'm regretting it. A co-worker and I were actually talking and I think we are going to run the Jingle Bell 5k on December 1st so looks like I better start running again!

This is what happens...

...when I'm bored and have a video camera.

This is the progression of the night...

And I ran out of space...so I guess you will NEVER know what I was going to say! :)

I'm FINALLY getting a board!

YAY! So all that long hard work of looking for a board has FINALLY paid off! I am sooooooo excited! I found one online recently that fits the specs that I'm looking for and am going to see it hopefully tomorrow or Thursday. Yay for me! :) I guess good things do come to those who wait!

Pathetic-ness

The past 2 nights I have been taking dance class at A Time to Dance and the classes have been from 9-10pm. Well at first I thought no big deal...

then I've woken up 2 hours late every morning after dance. not good :(

So yea, I'm officially an old person that needs her sleep.

Mornings

I've come to realize that without them, i'd be lost. Whenever I sleep in, i usually feel completely helpless and incapable. Sounds weird I know. The other day I was listening to the radio and they said that studies show that no matter what day it is, you should always wake up at the same time. So on the weekends, no matter how good it feels to sleep in, you should wake up at the time you normally do as to not throw off your internal clock, or whatever. I completely agree with them! :) Something happens during a morning that doesn't happen at any other part of the day. I think it's the fact that the hustle and bustle of the day hasn't quite kicked in and that you don't really know what that day in particular is going to have in store for you.

The past couple days, I've been enjoying my back porch quite a bit. I'll go out there around 6:45 or so while it's still a little dark, the noise for the day hasn't quite reached it's peak, and all the little birds are just waking up and meeting the day with their songs. ...we have a pond in the back that is literately 10 feet away from our porch, and along with this pond comes these distgusting water vermons. At first we thought they were cute little otters, but found out otherwise. Point is, you never know when they are going to be out. One time, Andrea and I saw close to 15 all feeding right outside of our door. It was pretty freaky, I'm not going to lie. Maybe one day, I'll have to get a picture of them all in their little herd! But as for now, I'm off to enjoy my mornning :)

Mmm Mmm Good

This is what you get when you mix a really sick Stefanie with a hankerin' for Chicken Soup! ...a funny girl attempting to speak English :)

It's that time again!

Dancing with the stars has started! :)

Whoops!

..yea...I burnt marshmallows. NOT a good idea, so don't try it!

At first I just thought that it would add a hint of "campfire" feeling to them, but then it soon turned into just one big 'ol mess! I wouldn't recommend it.

So my advice to you of the day is to keep an eye on your marshmallows when making Rice Krispy treats at all times. :)
