It's Friday!!! Yeah!

Hello All! Today is going to be a weird day. I just have that feeling. Last night I worked out for a long time. Then I went tanning and then over to my Timmy's house. We flipped between two channels...MTV and ESPN. ESPN got more play since the finals were on, but that's alright. He had a rough day yesterday at work. Then I couldn't fall asleep again, and woke up around 4:30 in the morning with a sore arm. I lifted the wrong way, or too much and my muscle feels really torn in my left bicep. It hurts when I turn it a certain way.

Anywho...I woke up, set Tim's alarm for him, and then grabbed another sweatshirt of his (since I didn't wear a jacket) and went to my house to get ready for work. I seriously left at like 7:00, which is extremely early for me and had enough time to stop and get gas and some low carb stuff to eat. But I'll stop boring you with the details...

Wait...I bought these cheese snack thingy's today and they are the most dreadful things ever! I keep eating them though because I'm hungry, and I want something to snack on before I start reaching into the candy bowls at my desk. They taste like seasoned chalk dust or something. (not that I know what that tastes like!) I'll try and post a picture if I can find one so you ever find yourself chomping on chalk! ;-)

I work tonight too, but hopefully off to Timmy's house afterwards. Love You all! Have a great weekend!

My Timmy is pretty popular at the local flower shop...especially with these 5 dozen, long stem white wedding roses he had sent to my house for our 5 month anniversary! He never fails to amaze me. I'm spoiled, and appreciated. Although this happened to be our anniversary, he also takes the time to send me flowers "just because." A real man doesn't always need a special occasion to do something special for his Princess. When you're truly in love, everyday is special!

Alright Day #4 and I'm still going strong!!!

Hi everyone! Well the diet is still going strong! I had to work all day and all night yesterday, but it was good because I needed a break from working out to let my muscles heal a little bit. I'm going to go to the gym tonight and go tanning again too. I love it. I already feel so much better. Even at work last night I was tired but alright. I woke up late today but I'm not as crabby and as up and down as I normally can be. I am drinking a sugar-free redbull right now, (which I had to stop and get) and I had a balance carb-smart bar again for breakfast. I brought Sugar-free jello, and carb-smart yogurt, and cottage cheese and tuna for my lunch today. Yeah, yuck is right...but I'm already tighting and toning so its alright with me.

Okay, enough about the diets. So lets see...well not much is really new I guess. Tim and I were going to go to Axel's Bonfire this weekend but I have to work so we won't be able to. But he's so cute, he went and got us some steaks to make on the George Forman Grill. I think thats cute. Seeing that neither of us really know how to cook. But hey, I tried last time, it's only fair that he try now. Oh, and I keep forgetting to ask him for his camera so I can upload the pictures that we have together on here. I'll try and remember sometime this weekend k. He's totally "GQ." And he's all mine! ;-) Well g/g. I'll try and post more pics when I get them. Oh, and I'm going to try and post our countdown to our One Year Anniversary on here, hope it works! I love you all! Thanks for visiting! Steph

Love wandered inside...
Stronger than you...
Stronger than I...
And now, that it has begun...
We cannot turn back,
We can only turn into one...

And I won't ever be to...
far away to feel you,
And I won't hesitate at all,
Whenever you call.
And I'll always remember...
The part of you, so tender,
I'll be the one to catch your fall,
Whenever you call.

And I'm truly inspired,
Finding my soul, there in your eyes...
And you, have opened my heart,
And lifted me inside,
By showing me myself,
Undisguised...

And I won't ever be to...
far away to feel you,
And I won't hesitate at all,
Whenever you call.
And I'll always remember...
The part of you, so tender,
I'll be the one to catch your fall,
Whenever you call.

And I will breath for you each day,
Comfort you through all the pain,
Gently kiss your fears away...
And you can turn to me and cry,
Always understand that I,
Give you all I have inside...

(Mariah Carey)

I told Tim that I wanted more than anything to see the watershow at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. So what did my sweetie do??? He got us a suite at the Paris Hotel directly across from the front of the Bellagio so I could watch the water show from our room whenever I wanted. It was the most romantic and beautiful sight I've ever seen. It was so special.

Good Morning!!! Cold Out There Today!

Hello All! Well last night I went to work out again at the gym. I'm doing pretty well. This low carb stuff is really hard though. This morning I stopped and picked up a "balance carb-well bar" which only has 2g of carbs, and for lunch an "Atkins Advantage Bar." That also only has 2g of carbs. This whole low carb thing is making it hard to get all the nutrients and stuff that I need, and I don't want my system to be all out of whack because of this diet so hopefully the bars will give me some extra stuff I needed.

After I worked out I went home and took a shower and then went over to Timmy's house. He's so cute. We had a much needed talk last night that went great. We're doing great, and I'm so proud of the relationship that we've built. I don't know anyone who has a better relationship. Oh, and he bought his mom a new computer too. I was going to try and fix her old one, but she really needed a new one, and I'm glad he got her one. I can help her on the newer one if she ever needs me to. She is such a sweetheart. I hope to visit with her more often. Tim's very lucky to have such a loving, caring family.

As for plans for today, well work and then more work. But you know, I'm not really that upset about it. Whether it's working out, or my new attitude, whatever I'm doing is helping because I've been pretty stress free for the last couple of days. I'm actually really glad that I have this part time job to bring in some extra cash. It is definetly needed. I still haven't rescheduled cable, Tim offered to take care of it, but I don't know. It's not really a top priority right now. I haven't really been watching that much television lately anyway. I think if I had cable, I'd be glued to MTV all day and all night, and I never want to go work out or anything. ;-) Well I guess this is getting kind of long. I better get to work. Write more later. Love Stephy

Day 2 of No-carb & Workouts!

I just have to say I feel so damn good right now! This is day 2 of my no-carb/low-carb diet and I should be feeling like crap, but I feel so good! I went to the gym last night and had a great workout. I feel great today. And I've been tanning like crazy so I have really nice color which makes me feel even better about my progress. I'm drinking my "Sugar-free" Red Bulls in the morning and today I brought pepperoni and cheese, and cottage cheese to work for lunch. I know, doesn't sound like a very fullfilling meal, but hey it works for me, and still not consuming carbs. Anywho, I feel great and that's all that matters. I want to go and get a new bathing suit soon, after I've achieved my goal...looking hot! :-) I don't really want to lose any weight because I'm not fat to begin with, but I want to seriously tone up every area of my body. No-carb/Low-carb is the quickest way to do so.

I'm still totally consumed with Mariah Carey's new Emancipation of Mimi album. I have it on play on my itunes at work and in the morning in my car and well....pretty much all the time. I love the cd, I've been getting hooked on one song at a time. Right now it is "Joy Ride." Reminds me of my boyfriend and I. My Timmy! I love him, he is the greatest! I don't think anyone could even imagine how we feel about each other. He's my baby, my buddy, my everything. He is the most thoughtful person I know. He's always thinking about everyone else, and he goes out of his way to do so much for others. And me...well I always feel like his little princess. Our love is like magical, and dreamy, and absolutely out of this world. I love it, I love him. My days are so much better knowing that I have him to laugh with, and talk with, and be with. He possesses everything that I lack. His ability to let go with me is so attractive and my favorite moments are all created with him. I love when he lays in my lap and lets me rub his head, (I think that's one of his favorite too) I get to help him relax from his day, and its nice feeling like I can help him escape from his day even if it's just for a moment.

I've been thinking about my life a lot lately, and I've realized that I really do have a lot to be thankful for. And if I ever get down again, I can't let what I don't have get in the way of what I do. Everyone wants to do more, and be more, but not everyone lets that stop them from appreciating life right now, and all the blessings they have. Tim was right, all you have to do is decide to change your life, and do it. That's all there is to it. I guess no one can make the change for you, and once you realize that, the chance of your outlook on life improving greatly increases. And you'll be able to easier deal with the sufferings that come along with it. And nothings perfect although you should always do your best to come close....Love Stephanie

Meeting the Family...

Hello all, I had a great weekend. Busy, but great none the less. I worked all weekend long, but only worked in the mornings Saturday and Sunday so that was nice. But Tim and I went to church and then to his mothers house. I finally got to meet mom and grandpa! They are even sweeter than I had imagined. Mom was so kind to me, and I had fun talking with her. And Grandpa was absoutely adorable! He was so cute, I just can't get over it. We had a great dinner, with mmmm, cheesy potatoes, and chicken and stuffing. It was really good, like all my favorite stuff. Then I got to look at some kiddie pictures of Timmy. He was such a character when he was little. He had a little Lemonade stand with some neighborhood kids, he looked so cute, he was a business man back then too. His mom and I joked about how he was probably secretly pocketing most of the money from the others. (Dr. Sheetz) So yeah, that was definetly the highlight of my weekend. It was so nice to meet them, and hopefully I'll be seeing more of them now that the initial meeting is out of the way. They seem like such a loving family, and a family I would love to always be apart of. I also started no carb/low carb again. I worked out yesterday, and I'm going to again tonight. I want to be able to be beachy cute without feeling flabby, and I did it once, so I know I can do it again! I'll keep you posted on how thats going. Oh, by the way --Sugar Free Jello is fabulous!

Love Stephanie

Good Morning! FRIDAY!

Good Morning Everyone! I did not sleep at all last night and I just know I'm going to be paying for it today. I have to work both jobs today and I'm already really tired. My strategy is going to be to tell myself I had lots of sleep and that I'm not tired. Think it'll work??? Probably not! :-) Tim got a really cute new bedroom set too, and it was really comfortable but still couldn't get to sleep. I was tossing and turning all night long. Then when I finally fell asleep it was time to get up. I've been having a lot of those nights lately. Hope I can get some decent sleep tonight, although I do have to work in the morning.

OH, exciting news!!! I'm going to meet Tim's mom and his Grandpa ( which is like his dad ) tomorrow after we get out of church! I'm so excited! I have wanted to meet her for a really long time. I hope she'll pull out some pictures from when he was little. I bet he was adorable! I'm a little nervous, but from what I hear, she is the sweetest lady on earth, and I have no doubt in my mind that I'll love her. Maybe Tim and I will go visit her more often now after I meet her. That would be nice. Well, I guess not much else new to talk about besides that so maybe I'll write later. If I can write from Tim's computer I will to let you know how it went, otherwise I will talk to you on Monday! LOVE S.

Another day...

Yet another dreary day. Ahh, the norm. I wish I wouldn't get so bored so easily. Why do I always have to have so much excitement in my life? I wish I could just be content. I'm pretty crabby today. My mom called and told me about $150.00 parking tickets I have to pay, which didn't put me into a particularly good mood. And I'm PMSing so that doesn't help either. I don't know how anyone puts up with me when I'm crabby. I just always need things to happen in my life, but I don't know where to start to make them happen. Or even where I'm supposed to be. It really sucks always feeling like your trying to find your place, your niche...something your good at that you like doing. I guess I can't have it all. Lately I've felt like I have hardly anything. My life is work, work....work some more and then give all my money away to bills. Depressing. I don't remember the last time I went out. I don't remember the last time I got a new outfit or something for myself. I dyed my hair brown last night with a $9.00 hair kit from the grocery store, because I didn't have enough money to keep it blonde the way Timmy likes it. So now I feel even crappier. But hey...the story of my life. I bet I could predict what tomorrow looks like, and the day after that, and the day after that....

Off to the Studio!!!

Alrighty, well it's almost time to leave work and head to the studio. Hopefully Chase and AX are there when I get there. It's usually either I'm late, or too early and they're not there yet. :-) I'm really excited to work tonight. I hope I don't get too tired. I wrote some new lyrics for Dear Diary, but not sure if we'll be working on that song tonight. I don't think it's priority. Well I'll keep you posted on how everything's coming along. It's going to be weird going over there tonight. They're moving to Hollywood as soon as the house sells. I won't be recording here much longer. A lot of fun memories there though, I'll miss it. But I'm excited to move forward. It's about time! Oh, forgot to mention...my producers just got a production deal at NRG Recording Studios in Hollywood. It's crazy big and a lot of famous recording artists have worked there, Jay-Z and Linkin Park just to name a few. Wish me luck!
