Okay, so I have been a bit frustrated with the fact that people cant post comments on here unless they are a wordpress user.  My hubby says that people are going to get confused because I keep moving my blog around, first it was livejournal, then blogger, then wordpress and back to blogger. 

 Lets prove him wrong!  Check it out!

 So ya, I am back at blogger and I really am happier. Feel free to check out my new and improved blog. Heck ya I’ve been playing with some CSS! Cause as I always say, I am a BADASS!

Check out my new blog.

So there is a guy at my work that always calls me girl.  Like I’ll be walking down the hall and he will say “Hey girl”.  I don’t think he knows my name.  I’m okay with that, but today I heard him calling someone else “girl” and it made me laugh a little.

So I was looking through some super old pictures and found this.  I thought it was cool enough to scan and post on here.  So without further ado I give you me, Taylor and Kelly.  I’m not sure what year it was but I was probably like 6 or 7.
 

Falafel=icky

So for the past month or two I have been obsessing over the word FALAFEL.  I had never had a falafel but I thought it was a pretty cool word.  So whenever I get bored I think of that word and it kinda makes me laugh a little (in my head I’m laughing I’m not a crazy lady who starts laughing for the hell of it).  So a week or two ago I said that I bought a falafel kit from the awesome manufactures Fabulous.  Well I decided last night was the night and I was going to make me some falafels.  So I mixed my kit and broiled it and put it in a pita with lettuce and thought it was going to be totally awesome.  And it was awful!  Icky-Sicky-Never want to eat again awful!  So just an FYI, I do not like to eat falafels, but I do still like the word.

In other news.  I won!  I never win blog giveaways and I won a really super cool one!  The girl who had the giveaway has a parrot named Charlie and I truly believe that her parrot picked me because I have a bird named Charlie too.  he he! Anyways… check out the blog that I won stuff from cause it’s pretty exciting for me.  Oh and check out her ETSY store because her stuff totally rocks!

Ok that’s all for now.  I’ve gotta get to work.  My boss is out of town and that means I have a super duper lot of work to do. 

P.S. Thought it was kinda funny but my boss left a copy of his signature on my desk last night so I can replicate it.  Don’t know why that’s funny to me, but it is.  I’m a freaking dork!

So I’m off of Express for this week, again, because of my foot.  Doctors orders.  I’m not allowed to work until the doctor gives me permission which could be 2 or 3 more weeks.  I will see him again next Monday so hopefully we will find out what to do.  Its just killing me.  It feels worse than it did like 4 days ago.  WTF!  So now EVERYONE at Express is mad at me and I feel horrible, but I really cant do anything.  Please foot.  Start to heal because I hate when people are mad at me, usually I can try to find a way to fix it, but I cant fix this.  There is no way I’m going to be walking on my foot for 8 hours when it hurts to walk on it for 15 minutes.

So today I feel very somber-maybe thats not even the right word.  I feel like blah, like nothing.  I dont know why.  Nothing is wrong.  Nothing is upseting me- other than the usual. Nothing is making me happy.  I just feel balanced but I dont know if thats a good thing.  I’m used to feeling super chatty, super happy, super upset or super something.  I’m always to the extreme and right now I feel nothin.  WIERD!  I dont like it.  I hope it gets better and I start feeling super something or I might be on the wrong pills again.

Why dont nurses ever return my phone call?  I just dont get it.  I dont know if I should call back or not.  It’s been like 3 hours and still nothing.  Ugh!

Poor Foot!

My foot is still really really bad.  I dont think I’ll be able to work at Express this week or weekend and I think they are going to be pissed.  Oh well cant help it, I do have a broken foot!

Oww!

Sooo… I’ve order my pictures from Winkflash this morning and I keep checking to see if it has shipped!  I am such a nerd because I know that it wont ship until Monday or something.  I got 52 pictures for less than 8 bucks and that including shipping.  I didn’t get a chance to order them before now so I didnt get the awesome deal of 6 cent prints, but I did get their normal price of 8 cents per print, so I really only spent an extra buck on it.  WHAT A DEAL!

I worked on my bird project last night.  I didn’t have chipboard to cut in the size I wanted this book to be so I got creative and used cardboard from a mailing box and cut it and glued my bird cut outs on there.  Yes!  I’m not finished with it, but hopefully I’ll get some time to work on it today.  Not sure what I’m going to do with it.  I may make a little Charlie book but we will see.  Oh I also went to the Dollar Tree on Wednesday and I bought these little chipboard albums.  The come with an ugly cover BUT i took the chipboard out and put paper on it.  It’s pretty cool because the holes are already cut into it so I dont have to worry about that.  I do need to buy a hole puncher, something I really should have!  I may go buy a few more and make bigger books.  But this is pretty freaking cool! I’ll post pictures of that when I get it finished.

So there was an earthquake this morning that was felt here in TN. Everybody is talking about it at work. It’s funny to me because I didn’t feel it, I kept sleeping. I guess living in California my entire life that I have become quite used to it and it doesn’t affect me the same way it affects people out here. It’s probably the same feeling that they get when we have a tornado warning, they all say “It’s just a tornado warning” while I’m freaking out. HA! Okay, that’s it again, just wanted to note this cause it was interesting to me.

Two quick things that drive me insane:

1. Just because we can wear jeans to work on Friday does not mean that you can wear an oversized t-shirt. You should still try to dress it up a little. Put on a nice blouse, a pair of boots, umm… makeup. But you should at least look like you’ve put in an effort to look nice even while wearing jeans.

2. Its “I couldn’t care less” not “I could care less”. If you COULD care less then that means you still care and you just sound like a moron. Believe me I am not an English person, you can probably tell with my blogs, but this just drives me insane! Not sure why, but it does.

Okay, I think I’m done for now.

Oh did I tell you guys that I hit a parked car on my way to a bar like 2 weeks ago. Ya, I hadn’t even started drinking and I hit this car while I was parking at the bar. I’m a dipshit and I know it!

K-I’ll write again later!

National Scrapbook Day is May 3^rd and I spoke with our manager at Express and she said that she would change my schedule for 5-close that night but when the schedule was posted I was scheduled for 11-8.  It’s not a big deal; it’s just a bummer because I was really looking forward to getting to go to a big crop that day.  Oh well!

This will be my only post for today.  Please read it as this means a lot to me.

WOW! One year since the Virginia Tech massacre.  I still can’t believe what happened to those people and to their families.  It’s heartbreaking to think about and it crazy what kind of world we live in.  It makes me sad that people get killed like that.  I guess I could never imagine doing that or being a part of something like that so it’s just difficult to digest.  For all of those families that have been affected by this, if you are reading this by any chance-which I doubt you are- you, your family and you lost loved one are in my thoughts and prayers everyday, not just today.

I’m hungry and the only thing I want is this

And they closed last week without even telling me.  Poor Stephy!

I’m really bummed because I can’t scrapbook while I’m on my lunch this week, or while I’m wearing my “BOOT”.  I was going to try and bring just a few key things that I’d like to use but the problem I have is that I think of things I want to use while I’m making the page and then I get mad because I don’t have what I want.  Plus I really don’t have 5 hands to carry all my stuff.  So I’ve decided that during my lunches that I’m going to just look at the SIS Strut your stuff section and look at all the different layouts that I like, add them to my favorites and then get ideas from them.  I may even print them out and put them in my inspiration book.  I really want to start using that, I guess I will get some times to do it now. 

I went to the foot doctor yesterday and had a good experience.  He looked and my black and blue foot and said that I needed a different boot.  So I am now sporting a pretty cool gray boot.  It’s smaller and lighter than the one I had before, so I really like it.  It’s a lot better!  He also told me that I can’t wear heels, dang it.  So now I’m wearing the only flats that aren’t Converse or Vans. They really aren’t business professional but I’m really short and the smallest heel that I have in a work shoe is an inch so I can only do what I can right now.  So I guess I look silly with my tan and light pink polka dot shoe, but I bet that’s not what’s really making me look silly as much as the large gray boot on my left foot is.

Oh the Preds won last night so we are super excited.  Dave and I are going to try and buy tickets today for the game on Sunday.  Please cross your fingers that it happens because it would be so much fun to go to that game.  Good luck tomorrow guys!  But if you win this series and you have to play the Ducks then I will NOT be rooting for you! 

Ok that’s it for now.  I’ll probably write something later because we all know that’s what I do when I get bored!

Steph

P.S. We were at Whole Foods last night and I bought a Falafel kit.  So I will be making these this week!  YES!  God thats a great word!

So I was reading an email sent out from the president of our company and I saw a quote that I really liked and I thought it was interesting.

“Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do.”

My foot hurts.  Here’s a song that I made up and sing to myself in my head about every 30 seconds.  There is a lot of cursing in it so dont scroll down if you’d rather not read it. You have been warned! 

FUCK, SHIT, OW, DAMN, FUCK, FUCK, FUCKY FUCK FUCK FUCK.  OOOOWWWW!!!!  NO MORE SKIPPING!  FUCK SHIT FUCKY FUCK FUCK!

My foot fucking hurts.

FUCK!
