Happy New Year!!!

I'm back and posting again. It is Saturday night and I'm in my apartment watching a rerun of SNL. Christina Aguilara just sang with Tony Bennett. It was quite enjoyable... Oh, now they are waving goodbye and Paul McCartney is there too. Wow, is my Saturday boring. And by Saturday, I mean my life.

Oh, poor Stephanie. Look! Here is what I look like on this mind numbing evening. As you can see, I am holding the camera with one hand as I pretend to "blog" with the other.

Nevermind that still unpacked box in the background. I am determined to have it unpacked (or hidden somewhere) by the time my girls come to visit from NY at the end of January. I got "Martha Stewart's Housekeeping Handbook" for Hannukah and I plan to learn from Martha the secrets of keeping a tidy and well organized home. Messy, disorganized genes be damned!

Okay, so here are some photo highlights of my winter break so far...

First, I went to Dallas to see the Moosh and Craig and to pick out bridesmaids dresses for their wedding. The one we ended up picking out is awesome! I would tell you about it but then I might lose my Maid o' Honor title and I've been working on that one my whole life! I'll never tell. Here is the Moosh, Craig and me:


Then, when I got back from Dallas, I celebrated being done with my first semester with a night out on the town with Devin and Byron. Here is Devin in front of that horrendous building downtown:

Here is me after a bit too many cocktails:

And here is Byron at the Irish Bar where we ended our night:

Sadly, I just cannot keep up with these boys anymore. That last picture of Byron was taken after they ordered me an Irish Coffee because I was passing out at the bar. You can see the empty glass at the bottom of the picture. It was pretty yummy. It kept me up for about another 10 minutes. So, they ordered me another....

Okay, lets move on before an intervention is called...

Now, it is time for Hannukah. Also know as THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS!!!!!

Please don't ask me why. You may defer all of your questions about Judiasm to Jeff. That is an inside joke between me and myself....and Jeff, if he thinks it's funny. If not, I take comfort in the fact that I am laughing.

Okay, moving on...

Oh Hannukah, oh Hannukah, let's light the Menorah!


Yum! I helped to make these Latkes. They were pretty damn tasty if I do say so myself.


Ooh! Not fast enough!!! Here is Lily giving Jenna a special Hannukah present:


Well, after the Festival of Lights, I hung out in Laredo until right after New Years. I returned to Austin this past Tuesday, just in time to catch Jack before his visit to Austin ended. Here he is with Sam and Sarah Ann.


Okay, well that's my winter break so far. I still have personal statement letters to write for my graduate applications. Yuck. I don't think Graduate School is yuck, just the silly personal statements. It's like, just look at my grades and stuff, bitches. Why you gotta go and make me write a "Why I want to go to Grad School" thingamajig? Like they even read that shit.

Oh, did I mention that I got a 4.0 this past semester? Well, I did. So, take that. As it turns out, I am a genius. That is right, A GENIUS.

Okay, now even I think I'm obnoxious. An obnoxious GENIUS.

Goodnight!

(Oh, and Happy Birthday Sam and Ashley!)

I laugh as well, but mostly I lament your total lack of interest in your religion.
