New & Improved!

There is The Vampire Diaries (love, love, love!) and now The Carrie Diaries (never watched) so I figured why not update my blog with a new name and have it be The Stephanie Diaries?!?!

I can't promise it will be as bloody as TVD. Oh wait I can promise it won't be as bloody as TVD, as I am not a big fan of blood. However I cannot promise I won't post pic's/comments/or drool over TVD. My family knows to leave me the heck alone on Thursday nights at 8 pm as I watch my show!

I can promise this blog will be more grown up then TCD. Though I am an 80's child (and that is the era this show takes place), I would rather leave those fashions and times in my past! I was never a fan of Sex in the City, which TCD is a prequel too, so no real desire to watch that show.

So welcome to my new and improved blog!

Happy Reading!

Ergh......

It has been one of those days. Where you just want to bang you head against the wall and scream "Why God! Why!"

"Why do you make me deal with stupid people?"

"Why are you testing my patience!"

"Why can't I win the lottery??"

I know I have to quit thinking so negatively. What I should be saying when I get annoyed are things like "If this is as worse as it gets, I can deal with it"

But oh I dream of sitting on a nice warm beach, the sun shining down on me with no care in the world!

Any body wanna come with me!

Here's to hoping God grants me the patience to deal with whatever comes my way tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

Oh it is that time of year again. Where we reminisce about all the good and bad of the previous year and set goals or resolutions for the new year. Or if you are like me, you just consider it another day and really couldn't give a flying fig about any of it.

Honestly I can barely remember this past year. And yes I was sober and/or conscience for most of it. Usually every year I write a Christmas letter recapping the past year and this year I didn't because, well, there was nothing to write about! No exciting trips, no job promotions, we are all another year older. Well Chad & Shelby are. I am still 29! There were sad moments I am sure. There were happy moments...I think. People irritated me, people made me laugh. I set goals, I broke goals. Basically as Chad would say "Same Shit, Different Day"

However I will set some goals for the new year, and for the most part I did sort of good at meeting (or at least working towards) some of these this past year.

1) Make sure to include fun stuff on my to do list (Scrapbooking, reading) because these things are are just as important, if not more so then chores!

2) Exercise more which means taking actual lunch breaks during the workday and walking

3) Remember my Unglued bible study and incorporate it into my daily life

4) Spend less, which is a mandatory goal since I need to be able to make a car payment every month (bye-bye mocha's...)

5) Live every day to it's fullest as you never know what could happen tomorrow

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
