| Because We Can't All Be Normal |
| Friday, February 29, 2008 |
I got tagged byMrs. Mandypoo. Doesn't that sound dirty?
So here goes...Why Be Normal?
1. It drives me nuts when people push down on the button on a drink lid. Unless your cup has cola, diet, dr. pepper and tea in it...DON'T PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS! One is sufficient. And DO NOT push my buttons to be funny. It's just not funny. (Mrs. Mandypoo)
2. I often say "huh?" even though I actually heard everything that was said.
3. My closet is completely organized by season and color and always clean. My room, car, desk, and bathroom on the other hand...always a mess!
4. I cannot stand for someone to write on the same piece of paper with two diffent colors. Don't start something in black and finish it in blue!
5. I read sales papers from the back to the front.
6. I won't put sheets on my bed that do not match my room. No exceptions. It drives me in sane.
Okay, so what are your quirks? Feel free to list one below, or to participate yourself. Make sure to leave a comment letting me know you're not so normal either!Labels: Meme |

| The Magic of Reading |
| Thursday, February 21, 2008 |
It's been a while since I've been tagged, so here we are! Boss Lady tagged me after quoting a book that meant so much to Damian and myself that he actually tattooed a quote from the book on his body. So now it is my turn.
Here are the Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book ( of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.
It also just so happens that the book I will be quoting is the follow-up book that Boss Lady quoted. Captivating ~ Unveling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge (Best Selling Author of Wild at Heart)
"Okay, we've all heard the story. Martha and Mary. Don't be such a Martha."
I'm going to skip the tagging part. If you a reading a book, do it. It's interesting, and leave a comment to let me know you did. You just might interest me in reading a new book.Labels: Meme |

I was tagged by MomOfThree to do a Christmas Hoopla!
1. List 12 random things about yourself that has to do with Christmas.
2. Please refer to it as a 'hoopla' and not the dreaded 'm'-word
3. You have to specifically tag people when you're done. None of this "if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged" stuff is allowed...then nobody ends up actually doing it. The number of people who you tag is really up to you -- but the more, the merrier to get this 'hoopla' circulating through the blogosphere.
4. Please try and do it as quickly as possible. The Christmas season will be over before we know it and I'd like to get as many people involved as possible.
5. If you want to -- please give me, Andrea, some link-love as the 'Hoopla-Creator'. I love new blog-traffic.
So here goes!
1. I didn't put my tree up this year until after December 8th. I usually have it up on Thanksgiving weekend.
2. I have always had a live tree, never an artificial one. It is my favorite Christmas tradition.
3. I didn't buy half the presents this year that I bought last year, which really makes me sad, but will be better on the wallet when Christmas has come and gone.
4. My mom cooks a HUGE Christmas breakfast on Christmas morning, which is another of my favorite traditions. Dad says its the only breakfast he gets all year. It's probably true!
5. Since both of my sisters have in laws, Madi and I are often alone on Christmas night. We went to hockey games several years in a row, but I think it's sad the players have the play on Christmas. What about the away team?
6. This will be my 3rd Christmas with Damian, though technically we weren't dating on the first one.
7. I have NEVER seen snow on Christmas. :(
8. Santa left presents for my sisters and I until we moved out of my parents house. Mandypoo got Santa gifts all the way up to 21!
9. Damian calls me the Christmas Nazi because everything has a place, and only I know just where it is!
10. I actually enjoy wrapping presents. Even though I mostly use gift bags for birthdays, everything gets wrapped at Christmas!
11. Madi and I with the help of the neighborhood kids made salt dough ornaments and decorated them this year. I didn't let them put them on "my" tree though. My tree is all red & silver.
12. This Christmas will be my first Christmas with Damian's family, since they are coming to Georgia for Christmas! I can't wait to celebrate with both families!
Okay, so now I tag Prin, Joen, and Boss Lady! Have Fun & Merry Christmas!
Okay, so Maybe I don't know him...
| You Don't Know Much About Christmas | 
You only got 4/10 correct
So you don't know all of the history and trivia of the holidays...
As long as you remember to put out some cookies for Santa, you're still ahead of the game.
Random Christmas fact: The average mall Santa is 5'9, 218 lbs, and 52 years old. The average waist size is 43 inches. |

| Letter to Me(Me) |
| Sunday, December 9, 2007 |
I've seen this on several sites, and though no one tagged me, because we have all moved pass the tagging movement, I too will participate. I encourage you too also. It is a great look back, putting incredible perspective on your past.
Dear Stephanie:
Hey Steph, it's you, 10 years older, and 20 lbs heavier! Which yes, means you are no longer Ethiopian looking, and people no longer call you "Annie"xeria, "Stick", or "Twig". Instead you now go by "Skittle" and more affectionately by Damian the ultimate love of your life "Skittle Bottom", "Honey Bunny", and my personal favorite "Stinky Booty." Yes, you have truly become a nerd, so get over it!
Well, the first thing I need to tell you is that you don't know it yet, but you are pregnant. Probably only about 2 weeks right now. You'll "know" before then, but find out for sure in January. It's a girl, and you'll name her Madison. The morning sickness starts immediately, so get used to it.
You already are suspicious that Chris is cheating on you with Michelle. Let me save you the trouble. He is! You'll find this out. You'll find letters, and lots of other proof. It will be too late though. You will have already married him. I guess if I could tell you to change anything it would be, on your wedding day, when you look at Dad and tell him "If we sneak out the back now, we'll be gone before anyone knows it" GO! DO IT! Dad will wish he had believed you then too. Remember this, Madison is not a mistake, but marrying Chris is.
When you find out you are pregnant, Mom will flip! She won't talk to you for several months. She won't be able to look at other babies without crying. She is hurt, and has to deal her way. Dad will be better, but he mostly just wants to keep peace. Jessie will be judgemental, and Mandy is young, so she'll be cool. You'll grow close to her through this. Nana will support you 100%, and you only have 11 months left with her. You will spend most of them with her, but sneak in as much extra as you can. She passes suddenly next year, so make this Christmas with her the best ever!
This coming year will be the toughest year ever. You will be miserable, and life will seem like it can't get worse. And it doesn't, it actually gets better.
You'll go through years of drinking, partying, and men. Whoa, slow down! You will regret most of it. And if you'll just be patient, you will meet the most wonderful man in the world, Damian. It'll be 7 or 8 years from now though. But be ready to think outside the box, Damian doesn't fit the "tall, dark & handsome" that you are expecting. I mean, he is dark & handsome, but quite a bit darker than you were thinking. He he.
Two more things. Don't turn your back on God. Things aren't always easy, and you really do need him. Life is easier when you have a good relationship with Christ. Don't worry, it's not too late...I just wish you would realize that now instead of 6 years from now.
And finally, start spending money wisely now, because 10 years later, you still suck at it! If you would start saving now, maybe I wouldn't be in this stupid apartment!
Okay, I really could go on forever! So here are a few quickies before I close...September 11, 2001 will change the world forever. November 25, 1998 will change your world forever.
Oh, yeah before I go...the spot on your left breast. It's not there now, but it will be in a couple of years. Have it removed immediately. I don't care what the doctor says. It isn't nothing, so get rid of it right away. If you wait 4 years it will have spread, and the surgeries will be less than pleasant.
Love,
SkittleLabels: Meme |

by Linda for the following Meme.
I guess today is a good day for random anyway, since I can't complete a single thought!
8 Random Things MeMe
1. I have often wondered just what MeMe stands for, but have never asked for fear of ridicule and taunting by the other children on the playground. I know what they are, just don't know why they are called MeMes. Is it quite possibly because they are about ME?
2. I am terrified of needles, yet obsessed with tattoos. I believe that might be a conflict of interest.
3. My world literally comes to a halt on Thursday nights at 9:00p.m.
4. I have the memory of a 87 year old on a good day. I forget conversations, people's faces, and most definately their names.
5. I got in trouble today for "being ignorant." I went out to "address" a domestic dispute at the apartments, and when I realized the girl had a knife I called her on it. I simply asked "what are you hiding behind your back?" I left and called the police, but Damian got on to me.
6. I believe there is some good in everyone, and often times do "ignorant" things because I often forget there is usually some bad in everyone too.
7. I actually bought candy on impulse the other day from the grocery store, and didn't even realize it until I saw the lady scan it. I mean, I have absolutely no recollection of putting it in my cart. When the lady scanned it...I went "I bought that?" Funny thing was, there were only 4 things in my cart.
8. I HATE feet. I mean, they make me sick to my stomach hate them. Don't show them to me, and please please please do not touch me with them! I won't even clip my 9 year olds toe nails. I do however LOVE to show you mine, put mine on you, and most importantly love to have them rubbed!
