Steph’s View
February 24th, 2010Ahhh, it is time for Wednesday Wisdoms and Miss Steph has decided to grace us with her presence this week!!
So i have been super busy with school these past two weeks (hence why the posts have been late, or non-existent). Sorry about that. I attend a Christian university–Lee University in Cleveland, TN. Therefore, we are required to take religion classes. I was reading the post about Tiger Woods and it reminded me of my class the other day. i am in a Christian Ethics class and we were talking about Tiger. My teacher pointed out that no man is better than the next.
This is very true. So often we sit and we talk about the mistakes or “bad things” someone has done. We condemn them for it and we begin to make assumptions or judgments based on the stories we have heard. In my life, I have tried so hard to make very clear to other people that I am no better than the next. In God’s eyes, all sin is equal. Whether it be a lie or a murder, they are both sin. We can not go around and say that “your sin is bigger than my sin.” It doesn’t work that way. Tiger Woods did make a mistake. But who hasn’t?? Really. Everyone has sinned equally and will all be judged in the same way. So think about it… How many times have you talked about what someone else has done and how horrible it is? Probably alot if not every day. You may not even realize it because its so commonplace. It has become a casualty. People have become so socialized and we make it “okay” to talk about others but never look at our own mistakes in the same manner.
Tiger Woods made a mistake. He has a family. But he has admitted to that and it is no one else’s right or business to decide how he should be treated. His job (golf) and his home life are two totally different realms. Until this happened no one within the golf world focused on his personal life. But now all of a sudden it has everything to do with? Negative. He should be left alone to deal with it his way. The situation is between him, his family, and God. No one else. So how will you choose to handle your situations from now on? Will you look at it as a time of growth and strengthening? Or will you ignore them and talk about someone else instead? The answer lies in your hands. Imagine if the next time someone was talking about someone else if you stood up for them. That could make a difference… You do it, then others do it, and so forth. So what is the ethical thing to do?

The Mass Murder
February 3rd, 2010Wednesday Wisdoms with Steph
I’m almost positive everyone has read about at least one of my crazy/amusing mornings driving to school. The vans, the dogs, etc. Well, now I can add one more to the list… birds. Ever heard the expresssion killing 2 birds with one stone. I think I just made this saying even more epic. I killed 4 birds with one car!!
So I’m driving down the road minding my own business. You know how birds just sit in the road when their is roadkill? Well… this is the case for my story. A flock of small gray birds were just huddling in my lane. Usually they fly off before the car actually gets to them. And they did, just as i suspected. I was in the right lane…they flew to the right. And just to clear something up, I think birds are the STUPIDEST creature alive. They run into windows even when you DON”T use Windex. Lol.
So they go to the right and then out of nowhere! they made an immediate u-turn and started flying toward the road! Keep in mind I am going like 60 mph on this little back country road with no one around. The birds, in the U-turn process, are now flying directly in front of my car!!! You would think they would fly up or around or something…anything….to get out of the way. Nope. They are stupid. All of a sudden BOOM BOOMBOOM BOOOOM.!!!!!!.( Side note: I am one of those people who absolutely hates feeling roadkill under my tire. I cringe, I scream, I freak out. It just doesn’t work with me.)
Theeeeenn started the screaming. LOL I freaked out. The birds literally hit my car!! OMG. I seriously about started to cry but at the same time it was kinda funny that the birds just flew into my car and no one was around to witness my mass murder. Tehehe. 
Anyway, I didn’t see them anywhere after their ridiculous collision with my massive Buick Lacrosse. ( Big to me because I am a small girl. lol) So I got to school and told everyone that sits with me and they thought it was hilarious. But at the time I was very upset about this. Think about it… I just killed FOUR of God’s creatures. And not just any creature.. the only flying animal alive!! How cool is that? And I, Stephanie, just about put them into extinction. Yay me. LOL I was afraid to look at the front of my car afterwords, in fear that a bird might me gruesomely shoved in my grill. Later, I came to the conclusion that if there was it would make the story 10x funnier. Ha! So after school I gained enough courage to look and nothing was there EXCEPT feathers shoved in the groove of my headlights. Ew. I took a picture with my nifty cellular device but unfortunately I can’t put that on here because I don’t know how. Sorry.
Lesson learned: Birds are stupid. Windex doesn’t work. And I still don’t know how to get feathers out of my headlights.
~See you guys next week, and sorry for the slightly late post. Toodles!!~
My Driveway is Where?
January 27th, 2010Wednesday Wisdoms with Steph!
Everyone in the world should be familiar with MapQuest. If not, then you are living in the dark ages and should crawl back into your cave immediately before technology makes your brain explode into a million pieces.. :] Anyway, I had another one of my random thoughts..
MapQuest should seriously consider starting at Step #5 instead of #1. I am most definitely sure that I know how to get out of my DRIVEWAY! Lol. It’s just that moment when you are reading the directions “ok go southeast north .2 miles and drive. Then take 0.0 miles to the left going northwest. Take sharp right onto 60W/Hwy 330/ AKA THE ROAD NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE.” Then you realize oh, it means take a right out of my driveway and get onto the main road…. Ha!
I think someone should contact the creators of this useful directorial internet source and let them know of this minor problem. OR we could all just start typing in the address for outside of our driveway and go from there. Either way. I think its funny. Maybe I will do that one day. Ok let’s get real, i won’t. Because I have more ways to waste my time and I just don’t care that much. LOL. Well, I will talk to you guys next week!!

Wednesday Wisdom…THE GYM
December 16th, 2009Wednesday Wisdom’s is a weekly column brought to you by Steph:
Ok ladies (and men)…we have all seen them. Those men who try to look soooo cool in the gym. Well, Friday morning me and my dad went to the gym for an early workout. I have been trying to get back in shape since I stay so active now-a-days. And I wasn’t expecting there to be much activity going on at the gym between 9 and 10 am. Everyone’s at work doing their own thing, right? To my surprise there were actually like 4 to 5 guys in there. And oh boy! Just my luck, I’m the only girl in there. Period. No ladies, no girls, no “women”, no she-men, no buthches…I got nothin!! So I’m pumpin the iron with my 10 lb dumbells ( you know, i prefer to use heavyweight but you can go lightweight if you want….) when this old man decides to tell me that I’m doing MY workout wrong!!!! Hellooooo are you the one over here doing it, you ol’ geezer? No I don’t think so! Leave me alone and let me do MY workout MY way. lol. He proceeds to tell me a better way to do it so I don’t “hurt myself”. Ok dude, whatever. So i just finish and ignore him without saying a word and walk back over there with my dad to try something new. Then there’s this dude over there (a cop at that) who sits on the same freakin’ machine the ENTIRE time… what good does that do!? He kept staring at me pretending to be talking to someone. Psh. yeah ok. Now I’m incapable of doing my own thing AND i’m stupid? LOL wow…gym guys are soooo intelligent, let me tell you. Then he starts back on his machine (which even my dad commented on how stupid that was). And we have all witnessed this if you’ve stepped foot into a gym. Let me just demonstrate as best I can in words, but I know they will not do me justice. ” Oh man, all these mirrors to look at myself in! HHHHUUUUUUHHH. macho! My muscles look sooo BIG and cool in this mirror in front of me. Hold on, let me make a few faces while I’m at it so the ladies will think I’m tough! <ugly struggling faces.>” (definately not what I consider attractive) If I ever see a guy in the gym NOT making faces and watching himself pumping the iron I think I would fall in love. hahaha. So since I’m apparently the helpless pretty girl in the gym I decide to play it up. I get on the squat bar, back up, full stance, FACING THE MIRROR, and go all out. I grunt a little, I hooohuh every once in awhile, and of course, admire my skills in the mirror. What’s a good workout without that??? My dad is laughing because obviously he has caught on to my act and the other guys look at me like WTH is wrong with her? HAHAHAHAHA i just smirk at myself…in the mirror…because if only they knew that’s how stupid they sounded and looked… Anyways, the workout was good and I had loads of fun making fun of them and showing them up while looking sexy in my t-shirt and biker shorts. I should know, I watched myself in the mirror. If any of you have ever experienced anything similar, you should definately comment and share your gym hunk stories. I’ll talk to you all next week!!! Ta-Ta
Wednesday Wisdoms with Steph!
December 9th, 2009The Post-It Place is proud to announce that there will be a new segment on Wednesdays. This segment will be brought to you by that adorable niece of mine that I call College Kid. She is hip, she is fashionable, she is fun and she is adorable. I think after you all meet her you will agree and learn to love her as much as I do. So…without further ado…here is Steph with today’s Wednesday Wisdom post:
Soooo….one morning I was eating my cereal and it was pretty average (for all you MLIA fans out there) and for those of you who don’t know what MLIA is, its “My Life Is Average.com” People post random things on there all the time that happen to them. Just average things and usually they are pretty hilarious if I do say so myself. Anyways…eating my cereal. I poured my cereal into the bowl that said my name real cute in the bottom and it has a picture of a clown. Don’t be hatin’. I like that bowl. Got it when I was like 7 but still….it’s a keeper. Anywho… so I’m pouring my cereal. Dooo do do do doooo….. pour the milk….. and BAM! That was one beautiful bowl of cheerios. Then I got to thinking. Hmm…. Milk. I wonder who ever decided “Hey, I wonder who the first person was to look at a cow and say, I think I’ll squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out.” This my friends is a wonderful and disgusting thought to ponder. Sick freaks out there I tell ya. Better watch your back. So then I posted this on my facebook status (because that’s what all the cool kids do and I thought I was pretty clever/funny). My friend brought up the idea of lobster along with this whole milk fiasco. I mean seriously, who saw a lobster and said “you see the huge red cockroach in the ocean? I’m gonna Throw it in hot water and eat its butt”!!! Maybe we should start thinking about these things more often. Anyway, my cereal was delish. I ate it all and drank the milk too (trying not too think too much about the creeper who did this first) which revealed my name and the clown smiling at me again. I guess I made a happy plate like all the cheesy mom’s tell their kids. (…bowl actually in my case. But you get the point). Have a Happy Wednesday and I will catch ya next week. TaTa!
