Not really, just a new job. I'll be hostessing at Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen! You can actually check it out online. You know you want to. It's a 10 minute walk from my house, and I'll be learning lots of Spanish. Speaking of Spanish, http://youtube.com/watch?v=a189xAYBRv8 Well, the little Fashion Park family is finally complete. Yes, Jess, Christen, Bethany, Daley and I live under one roof, and we all have SUV's. Which does not make for the greatest success in finding a parking spot in the cramped little neighborhood, but it DOES make us way sporty. And cool. (hey, we need all the help we can get.) We laugh so much, it's ridickerous. Last night we played volleyball at the park around the corner from our casa, and it ruled. Christen/Jess v. Beth, Steph, n Kyle (Horst). Besides the glass shards and splinters and the cement just inches underneath the thin layer of sand, it made for an awesome game. I guess that just makes us way hard core. Or just stupid. My fav... 2007-11-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=442462 I don't have anything funny or witty to say really, no silly jokes or rad song lyrics or a cool link to a crazy website, just some plain 'ol updatage goin on right herr. I moved in to a NEW HOUSE!!! In the city of Orange. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1900 sq feet, 2 trees in front (1 of which will soon have a club house), a porch, a really big kitchen sink, a farplace, and 2 little fenced-in patios, one of which will be a perfect place for afternoon tea. 9 miles from school. I (will soon) have 4 roommates!!! 1. Daley "hottie" Hilburn...already have her 2. Jessica "go getter" Gill...(she'll be here in November, she'll be here in November...alright, scratch my previous comment about song lyrics.) 3. Christen "smokin" Smith...Dos semanas! 4. Bethany "encredible" Elam...Next week! I'm gradumicating next August! ...One more year...I see the light... I work in an office! The Department of Elementary and Bilingual Education, that is. I'm not bilin... 2007-10-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=427686 Yesterday morning in church there was an earthquake. It shook the pew! I hadn't felt one in a long time so it was kinda exciting. This morning I woke up to another! It felt a little harder this time, and it kinda kept coming, so I laid there in the shaking bed thinking of what I would do if it got bigger. Luckily it just stopped. 2 earthquakes in 46 hours! Here's the freaky part: just 3 days ago, a friend told me that a few years before 9/11 they heard that the 3 major disasters most likely to occur in the United States would be: 1. A terrorist attack on New York 2. A hurricane in New Orleans 3. A major earthquake in Southern California. ....grrreat. 2007-09-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=420934 Last week, within a 24 hour period, an important aspect of my life completely changed. This semester I had planned on living with the incredible Daley Hilburn in the dorms of Pacific Christian College across the street from Cal State Fullerton. When she went to move in early, she discovered that the space we would have to live in was about the same as that of which would be provided for us in an orphanage. Disappointed and dismayed, she ventured to the neighboring apartment complexes to check out the availablity. Luckily, she found a great deal. She called me to break the news and present a solution to the unfortunate situation, and I bought it (the idea, not the apartment). The catch: The apartment is not available until October 13th. We were 2 months without a place to live besides on top of a $100 deposit.....until she called up Donna Prince (Mandy and Greg's madre). God, being the ridiculously AMAZING God He is, worked everything out perfectly. Of course. Here's the story, morn... 2007-08-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=414305 ...a song i like by david essex and remade by def leppard. It just really gits me good. My plan for tomorrow is to wake up at 5:30 am, jump on a plane..literally I'm going to leap onto the aircraft..., sit in tejas for 3.5 hours, and then catch another flight...i'm actually going to snatch it right out of the sky.... to FL to arrive at 8:15. After a great reunitation, and a hitchin, I'm off with Rosemary and her mama to drive North for a few states! Hopefully at or between either or both of these two places I'll see you. yay! :) word to the wise: If you see something at a thrift store that you're REALLY diggin, don't wait for the 50% off sale the next day. It'll be gone. p.s. take your time 2007-08-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=414304 ...a song i like by david essex and remade by def leppard.

Lisa Can u p and Lindsay Singlebutt had free tickets for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. Lisa got hooked up by an old boss' neighbor's 3rd cousin once removed's gardener's second wife. We stood in the huge line for a bit, and then realized we were supposed to be checking in at Guest Relations. Turns out we're on the VIP list. So we walk past all the people we were standing in line with earlier, (SUCKAS!!) and get led to the FRONT stinkin ROW. Jay, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), and the guy who plays the rat in Ratotuille were all about 15 feet away. So were just chillin, and the security guard on the stage points at me and signals for me to come talk to him. He says, "So, where you girls from?" (I had happened to have decided to be representin Nashville that day) I replied, "Oh, she's from nashville, she's from laguna niguel, and I'm from San Jose." He secretly whispered, "You wanna picture with Jay Leno?" I thought aloud, "... 2007-07-10 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=400860 I have a few seconds to stop and breathe, so I think I'll write a word or two. Things have been a'changin. I have a place to live in Fullerton with Daley Hilburn. Across the street from school, in the dorms of a Christian college. It's cheap man. A rare find in those parts. Went backpacking at Kennedy Meadows for 4 days with brother, dad, and 2 BFs/cousins. One day we hiked up a mile of sheer cliff next to the stream, saw a deer, went about 4 miles across the top of the mountain to some snow. We drank that stuff and also slid down the mountain face on our bottoms. I'll tell you what, it sure was invigorating. Gettin back to camp wasn't as easy cuz we went a different way (the hard one), but we managed. 10 miles roundtrip! We fished, jumped in the freezin cold lake, didn't shower, pumped our own fresh water, and all that kinda fun camping stuff. There was a doe that hung out around our camp every day. She was sweet. I got to see my friend Lindsay in L.A., where we ate pizza and ge... 2007-07-01 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=388252 Well, May Not Happen 2007 has officially transformed into This Is definetely Happening Right Now Even Though We Didn't Think It Would...2007. So far, we have seen... *a black bear (Fact: bears eat beets) *3 deer *Lower Yosemite Falls *Vernal Falls *Emerald Pool *Lots of trees and meadows *El Capitan, Half Dome, Glacier Point *A Ghost Town *A beautiful sunset in the desert *The World's Biggest Thermometer ...now we're marching to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Salt Lake City, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Seattle, and down the Oregon Trail. 2007-05-30 http://www.pleonast.com/user/stephieweffs?l=5&entryID=385746 Thanks to his almost most recent bloggage, I had a dream about rollerblading. The hardest part was actually not telling my parents I was gay, because I was an orphan. It was turning them back in to the rental machine (like a vending machine...for rollerblades). It was a machine that allowed you to demo the new $3,000 Hummer rollerblades. And boy, did I demo those bad boys. I rode 'em all over town, and they were ultra fast. They were kinda scratched when I was done, and I was really nervous that they were gonna make me pay. Cuz the cleaning lady told me they would probably charge me $100 or so for any dammage. So, Rob, you're not gay if you ride expensive Hummer rollerblades. I mean, I wasn't even wearing wrist gaurds. ...well, ok. maybe you are. and maybe you're even more gay if you dream about them. 2007-05-23
