Pale-Painful-Pink

Sore throat, aching joints, stuffy nose, swollen tonsils, and a possible fever. I think that sums up my symptoms. I was just bragging the other day about not being sick! Why do I jinx myself, just when things are going well? I am a doof-to-the-us. I just drank the nastiest powdered drink in history. I am sure you have heard of it or at least taken it. My norm, Airborne is all gone, so I had to settle for that Emergen-C drink which happens to be a whopping, 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, and contains 32 mineral Complexes and 7 Mineral Ascorbates. Wait a minute...am I getting paid for this?

Anyhoo, onto more important things. I have been helping paint our new offices at work a lovely shade of hot cocoa and a mint-esque accent color. (I somewhat contribute this sickness to the below zero temperatures at work.) The colors put me in mind of a fresh new Starbucks. They are quite lovely, actually. (O.k. now I sound British!) The color before we painted is what I would call, pale-painful-pink. It was one of those colors that your eyes are straining to figure out if it was white at one point in time. Picture an old hospital room with bad lighting.

I am ecstatic that pale-painful-pink is history; I can’t wait for this sickness to be.

Stick a fork in it, this Turkey is Done!

I have eaten, and eaten, and eaten! Why is it that on Thanksgiving we find it acceptable to gorge ourselves with food? I have never been so miserable in my entire life! I am not even stepping near a scale! I have had turkey, ham, rolls, various patato dishes, green beens, corn, cheeseballs,cheesecakes, pies, homemade fudge, and atleast three gallons of sweet tea. The list could go on, but I am getting sick thinking about it. Due to divorced parents, step parents, inlaws, and friends I had several Thanksgiving dinners. You know what they say about turkey making you sleepy? It is true, I have slept on average ten hours per night and have fought the urge to nap during the day. I begged nearly a dozen people to go shopping with me this morning since of course it is, "Black Friday," and all. No one would go! I guess they were eating or napping. So, when the work day was over I talked the hubby into going. 10 giftcards and a bag of stuff for ourselves later, we took our sorry, broke butts home!

Lucille Ball and Borat.

My name is Borat...if he said it one more time, I might have killed him. What a match we were. He wanted me to be the fat hairy guy from Borat and I wanted him to be Ricky Ricardo. You see how well that turned out. Doesn't every girl want to be a fat, balding, hairy guy for Halloween? Maybe next year...

Pumkin Guts

This pumkin is my pride and joy. After hours of gut plucking and a few choice words, I completed this pumkin masterpiece. In case you are wondering what it is, it's a haunted house. In the top left hand corner there was supposed to be a bat but at two in the morning I got a little knife happy! I had a Halloween party this past Friday and I carved pumkins to be centerpieces. I can't wait to post all the pics from the party! I reminisced while carving, remembering all the years in my childhood that I got to pick out a pumkin every year. I didn't remember how horrible the smell of pumkin guts are. I am still trying to get the stink out of the house. If you want some patterns to carve your own, just google free pumkin carving patterns. I printed a few patterns and cut the outside of the pattern out, taped it on the pumkin, and started carving. Happy pumkin carving!

yours trully,

Stephanie

Mexico here I come!!!!!!!!!!

In less then 15 minutes, I will be leaving for a cruise to Me-eh-co! I am so thrilled. I love the ocean! Anywho, I will be posting all the cruise pics as soon as I get home. My poor husband doesn't get to go. Its just me and my mommy's fam! Its been a lot of years since I have been on a family trip...hope we don't kill each other. When I get back I have so much to do, shower planning, and of course a lot to do for a Huge Halloween Bash. It is going to be so fun!

Seionara seniors and senioritas,

I can't spell in spanish...

Plan executed

I know! I have been a blog slacker. I do have an excuse though I have been in Indiana for the last four days helping a friend take pictures for a wedding. While there, I went on a six mile hike, around a huge lake known as Tipsaw aka a place to get nasty turkey ticks. And am I ever paying for it. Do they do hip replacements for people my age? It did however jump start my work out/exercise/get my big fat butt in my bridesmaid dress plan. Tonight after supper, Candace(the other depressed bridesmaid) and I went on our brisk 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. I will keep you posted on that one and I will be posting an updated picture of "the dress." dun...dun....dunnnnnnnnnnn! Is that how you spell the dramatic dun dun?


Yours Truly,

Bridesmaid Dresses and Pandemonium

I received a call from my friend Candace,whom is in a wedding with me on Nov. 10th. She called in a panic and said, "My dress doesn't fit!" Since we ordered our dresses,(less than a month ago) the same time, we collaboratively decided that I should try on my dress too. After jumping up, down, around, and plopping myself on the floor, Craig, my hubby, insisted that there was no way on earth it would fit. I tell Candace, "low and freakin behold it doesn't fit me either." I'm not saying their just a little snug on us, they both will not zip past mid-back. As I'm sure you have a heard David's Bridal has a NO EXCHANGE OR RETURN POLICY. As I recall, Candace and I tried on a size bigger in the store and the DB's employee insisted that we go down a size. We followed her advice and "wallah" they fit BOTH of us perfect. No alterations required. I guess we will be on a hardcore diet the next several because apparently in the process of shipping they shrink...

Fyi- I will not be telling the Bride.

Mac skillz and coffee

O.k. so I am not as good with imovie as I thought I would be. I actually suck at it. I've only messed with it on a few occasions so maybe I will get it eventually. I think I'm going to have to invite Mr. Sledd over to give me a crash course. Since, he is know for his Mac skills. However, I have almost mastered the iweb feature and I have successfully finished the first four pages of my website. Woot! Woot! It should be available very, very, soon. On to other news, I had a very chilled day, loads of Chinese food, and my new favorite drink Burger King's BK Mocha Joe iced coffee. YUMMY! Starbuck's quality at a po' girl's price.
Side note-Burger King's mascot is the creepiest thing I have ever seen. Wasn't he in the Wizard of Oz?

Of course right now, I am blogging instead of doing the ever so plentiful, cornicopia of various assigments and tests that are due in the next 24 hours. I just had to update you on a few things. For some crazy reason I have picked the busiest time of my life to complete a decent chunk of life goals.

1.)start a new full time job (insert check)

2.)blog (insert check)

3.) start painting again (insert check)

4.) finish school (insert check! check! in approx. 2 years)

5.) have a collection of my paintings displayed in a local art gallery

6.) start a design show on youtube( in the works, can't wait to share!)

Here is one of my paintings, be nice... i have just began painting and me and Van Gough, well , umm... not quite comparable.

Geraldo,stickers, and The Enquirer

Here is one of several pics from NYC of me and yes underneath those incognito red-shaded glasses, is Geraldo Rivera. After being picked up by a private car, William and I entered the Fox News building in the heart of the city. As we walked in William's p.r. lady was debriefing him on the do's and dont's. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the fact that William was sporting his Vote for Hillary sticker proudly on his button-up. When we walked into the green room a man was a foot away from a big screen TV watching it. He turned around and all I saw was a mustache, and then I realized the man under that giant stache was "Geraldo at Large." He turned to me and William stood up and shouted "Hey B*****s!" My mouth dropped. I stayed in the green room and watched as William was on the show. When Mr. Geraldo came out he took a pic with William. He came towards me and said, "Don't sell this to the enquirer, Ha!" Another lady whom I didn't know said, "Yeah she looks young enough to be your next wife." Then snap the picture was being taken hints the fact that I am cracking up at what had just been said. Hmmm... I wonder how much they would give me for it?? I kid...I kid!

I keep my promises...

Hello everyone! After blood, sweat, tears, and a phone call to mom the searching is over. Here is the picture I promised you! The picture of William and I as little "tot" schoolers. We have known each other for-ever! William of course is looking as cute as a bumblebee. But, judging by the look on my face either the collar was to tight or the boy to the right is pinching me. Wow! I look tense!

Yours truly,
Stephanie

Hi, Stephanie nice to meet you...

Wow! So nice to meet you and under such unusual circumstances. Where do I begin? I am a married woman and a complete drama queen by nature. My life goal and childhood dream was to be an actress and ultimate goal was to star on Saturday Night Live. Pre-youtube I thought I was going to have to settle for the nine to five corporate America type job. Hello? I am from Paducah, Kentucky not many acting gigs here.

My life has changed drastically since October of last year. I was a teacher/event planner by day and a youtuber by night with none other then my longtime friend and recent neighbour from three doors down, William Sledd. You may or may not have been introduced to me from seeing me as William's special co-host on the ever so surprisingly popular Denim Edition. I knew it was a funny bit, but I had no clue it would have ended up bringing the success that it has. Who would ever believe our story? Two Western-Kentuckians with common jobs and some old dreams end up posting a video all the way from Paducah, and are now getting opportunities some people never get in a lifetime. William and I were just in New York about a week ago. I have dreamt about New York since I was a tater-tot so to say the least it was a flippin dream come true. Speaking of tater tot's I cant wait to show you a picture of William and I in tot school together. Yes, we have known each other that long!

I will share more on NYC in my next blog! I can't wait to share my pics and my many adventures with William. So nice to meet all of you! I hope you enjoy getting to know a little more about me and this crazy story of mine.

Yours Truly,

Stephanie
