So, I guess I should be used to people thinking I'm an idiot by now... Sigh, guess I will need to get used to it all over again. That's too bad... I'm so used to everyone I interact with being aware of the fact that while I might be somewhat intelligent I tend to say and do pretty stupid things and misunderstand somewhat simple concepts... Ah, well, at least Mark of IT knows now... well... the second part, not so much that I'm somewhat intelligent...
Hahahaha. Fun, fun. Hehehe. Actually it'll be nice to have new people to meet and confuse and befriend.

Funny and Sad at the Same Time
Bush Is An Idiot
How can something be so funny and yet so sad at the same time? Well... At least he's good for a laugh... So glad we elected him.

Doh!
I learned a valuable lesson yesterday, or relearned a valuable lesson - listen to your Mom or bad things will happen!!
So for the past few weeks my Mom has been bugging me to make an eye appointment so I can get a new pair of glasses, and I didn't really pay much attention... Until yesterday, when just twenty minutes after my Mom repeated that I should call I knocked my glasses with my hand while bringing down a box from a high place and one of the nose pieces broke off. Blah, so needless to say, two minutes after that I was on the phone making an appointment. A new pair of glasses for the Steph - yay to that.
Anywho... Not much else going on in the land of Steph. Have been cleaning the house like a mad fiend. I have no idea why, but I am... so there!! Hahaha. Guess boredom got the better of me. And now that I've started I want to finish... A big task, but I can do it! Yay me. :-D
Don't forget the moral of the story - Listen to Mom! (unless you have a crazy Mommy that tells you to do bad things, then you can just forget it... haha)

Toward the Future and An Ugly Dress
School will begin in about a month. I must say that I'm glad to be getting on with something. I've spent too much time without anything truly productive to do. Nothing to really motivate me. So, this will be a good change of pace. Well, it will be until I actually have stuff to do, and then as things generally go, then I will want to be free again... sigh. Catch-22's right?
A lot to do before than as well. I have to figure out my finances, a couple surprises have come up and some conflicting information, so I have a few calls to make. Should also be reading Jim's papers, figuring out classes, and contacting people in the department. I must be one of the lazier graduate students!! Hahaha... perhaps.
Hm... As Layla has already heard, I've gotten my bridesmaid's dress... Oh dear. That's all I have to say. No sleaves, a neckline that leaves little to the imagination, and a back that will showcase some ugly scars. Yay for that... it's something I would give quite a bit not to have to wear, especially in front of 100 people... especially not when several dozen pictures will be taken with me in it. If there was a way to get out of it without having to act like a total bitch I would. And I don't know how it happened, but somehow Donna, Melanie's Mom, got it into her head that I really like the dress and made suggestions about how to alter it so I can wear it again. Yeah... like that's going to happen. What BS?!
Sigh... Anyway... That's my life in a nutshell right now. What a lame life it is... But a lame life is infinitely better than no life at all. :-D

A Happy Family Dinner
Today is my Dad's birthday, so we all went out to dinner (Mom, Dad, Grandma and Me). It was surprisingly happy and everyone was in a good and jovial mood. I don't want to give the wrong impression by saying it was surprisingly happy - I mean that it was much more happy than usual and it flowed with ease.
We went to this awesome new restaurant - Italian. Very yummy.
Um... yeah, another lame post. Yay for me!!

Busy but not all that productive
Hahaha... I would say that's the story of my life, but as I'm not really busy all that much the first part doesn't really apply... although the latter part pretty aptly describes my life... hahaha.
A lot of shopping and errands and all that. Plus I baked a cake...
What a lame post...

A little of everything
As you can probably tell I got tired of my old blog look. Unfortunately I'm not as super creative as others and I don't really spend a great deal of time trying to do anything... So you get a slightly altered, pre-made design that will take me a while to finish up. Perhaps eventually I'll work on making a real, super creative, and original design. Maybe...
Anywho... Have been working hard core at my Aunt Kathy's house the past few days. Moving furniture, ripping up carpet, painting walls and ceilings, and putting in new faux wood laminate flooring. Quite an endeavor. But yay for having money! Hahaha. Well, that and the feeling of completing a job well done.
So Peter will be home in mid-November. I feel bad for him. He just can't seem to learn from his mistakes or the mistakes of others. Perhaps this time will be different. Maybe he'll figure out that he can't do whatever he wants, that he has to be cautious - more cautious than most because of his history. And maybe the whole thing with Melanie will pound into him even more the impacts of his actions on others. Mom, Dad, Grandma, and I don't seem to be enough - maybe Melanie and her family are? I know this is completely shallow and self-centered, but I think I'm a little jealous if this is the case. But, don't write me off completely, if they are enough I'm just glad it will cause him to straighten himself out. I just want him to break free from the past and become a wiser and better person - will it happen? I don't know, but I hope.
Anyway, sorry about the serious turn my blog took. Ah well, read what you will and ignore the rest.

Hazaa
hahaha, no I have no idea why that's the title of this blog either. Just deal with it.
So, I've been at Adora's for about a week and a half. Have had a wonderful time. It is good to be going home. Although, once I get there I have no idea how long I'm actually staying. Seems like my Aunt Kathy needs some help around her house and has asked me to come for a bit. Not sure how long. Also, promised Angie I'd visit. Also have to figure out school expenses and moving and all that kind of thing. This is going to be a crazy time.
Hm... Not much exciting, right? Just me complaining. You should be used to that by now though.
:-D
