My Glass

Glass half empty: realizing that I've eaten all of my gum (with some help from my nieces) after eating a super garlicky spaghetti lunch.
Glass half full: remembering that I "stole" the rest of the mints this morning at my early morning meeting at the hospital. They have really good mints and no one else was in the room.

Glass half empty: wishing so badly I could go home because the rain makes me want to nap.
Glass half full: because it's raining, I won't have to water this weekend which means I have more time to do other things. Like nap this weekend.

Glass half empty: this next week looks so daunting, with a number of tasks at work and home that have to be done by a certain time. Our fence has to be finished by Memorial Day because we won't have any help after that. I have a deadline that has to be met by next Friday or else I won't be able to take Tuesday off or will have to work from home the entire weekend & Memorial Day, which I won't be compensated for.
Glass half full: I took this job in order to have a challenge. I can't ask for a challenge and then complain about it. And after Memorial Day, the entire fence will be done, beautiful and something we can be proud of. We WILL finish it.

Glass half empty: dreading the holes we have to dig this weekend for our fence we're putting up over memorial weekend, possibly in the rain.
Glass half full: we're making memories working on a project together for which I am very thankful. We don't have to hire someone to do our project when we can do it ourselves (with a LITTLE oversight from my father. That could be glass half empty AND half full, I'll let you decide). Also, I have a husband who is willing and eager to try to do these projects on our own. I love that he wants to improve our home just as much as I do. After talking to some of my other girlfriends, I am extra thankful for that.

To pass the time...

Age: 26


Bed size: Queen

Chore you hate: Cleaning my bathroom. I don't like any part of it. And it's not just any bathroom, it's my bathroom. Everything is so old and out-dated and stained that I feel like no matter how much I clean, it will never be clean. I can scrub it until my knuckles bleed and it still won't be clean enough for me.

Dogs: Sir Optimus Prime (but you can call him OP)

Essential start to your day: Hitting snooze at least 3 times.

Favorite color: Aqua/turquoise

Gold or silver: White gold

Height: 5'4"

Instruments I play (or have played): Bass clarinet & piano. Neither of which I could probably play anymore.

Job title: Regulatory Compliance Coordinator

Kids: None at this time. Hopefully after Sean graduates I will have a different answer.

Live: Billings

Mom's name: Grace

Nickname: Steph, Stephie, Pooey (but only if you're my Aunt Fran).

Overnight hospital stay: I've stayed overnight in the hospital to sit with people far more frequently than I've stayed over for myself. And even then it was because I waited too late in the day to go to the ER for my appendix, otherwise I would have gotten out much sooner.

Pet peeve: People who are always negative - cheer up or shut up. Lazy co-workers who don't really understand what I do, therefore I must not do anything.

Quote from a movie: I think I've quoted it before on this blog- from Ever After, "You look like a girl," "I am a girl you half-wit!" "Yeah, but today you look it!" Katie and I have started so many conversations with this quote.

Right or left handed: Right

Siblings: 1

Time you wake up: The alarm goes off at 6:00. I am usually up somewhere between 6:30 and 7.

Underwear: Yes, please.

Vegetables you dislike: Brussels sprouts. I've eaten them frozen. I've eaten them at fancy restaurants. I've eaten them coated in butter which usually fixes everything. Not Brussels sprouts. Are beets and turnips and radishes vegetables? I can't eat them either.

What makes you run late: Snoozing the alarm too many times.

X-rays you've had done: Teeth, feet, wrists

Yummy food you make: Cookies & carrot cake

Zoo animal: All of the bears. They're so cute :)
