Although I didn't turn out to be the most... consistent... blogger in past history, I'd like to think that I am turning over a new leaf. I can't promise to write every "x" amount of days, or even months, but I sincerely love reading my friend's blogs and look forward to new posts all the time. With that being said, here is my revitalized and sincere attempt at doing the same for you:).
To sum up my present status in all things Stevie, I have constructed the below bulleted list (one of my favorite things to do- make lists).
- I am now living in Maplewood, MO, about 25 minutes away from my hometown of Saint Charles. I moved down here a year and a half ago to try something new and exciting. I really enjoy the proximity to work, downtown, STL's primo shopping, and all the little fun and interesting places in between. I have 1 more year on my lease in my current apartment, so only time will tell where I end up next!
- I still have two cats. I love them both but will try to refrain from talking about them too much as my friends tell me it is an integral piece of information I need to omit when trying to rectify bullet point #3 (see below).
- I am still single. Yeah, I know, stop talking about point #2... Got it... And I'm working on the rest, I promise...
- I still work for Elan Polo developing kids shoes. However, my job has drastically changed over the last 18 months. My category has been to the children's division and I have a slew of new bosses that I work under. It's been a really great change for me and I'm thankful it happened when it did. Since then I have taken on a larger portion of responsibility and several new categories. More on that later!
- Family life is very similar, Steve and Jude are doing wonderful and I am so, so, so happy to announce that I now have a wonderful new sister-in-law, Sarah, to include in the bunch!
Ok, so I think that is a very quick and broad re-cap of what has been going on in my life as of late... Again, I promise to try an be a better blogger! Now I need to jump in the shower and start to get ready for the week!

New Car!
I bought a new car last night!!! After test driving both the Nissan Altima Coupe and the Honda Accord Coupe, I knew that the Accord was the one for me. It was very sporty, yet I didn't feel like I was back in the ol' Eclipse (RIP lil Red) of the college years. Plus I got an amazing deal on it! If anyone is considering buying a new car anytime soon I would highly recommend doing so now! It is the EX-L version, which has leather upholstery, some fancy radio that I don't understand, a sunroof (critical for me), and seat heaters (which I have to have if I have leather seats, I am a wuss and I don't like having a cold bum). The exterior paint color is white and the interior is called 'blonde'. I felt this this car was meant for me because I am A) White, and B) Blonde!
Here are some stock photos that I pulled from the Internet because I'm an idiot and forgot to take some at the dealership. Don't worry, there will be plenty more to come when I pick it up on Friday afternoon!

Car Shopping!
Hi!! Guess what? I've already broken my pledge to not go more than three days without blogging! Oops! Sorry....;)
So tonight after work I am meeting my dad to go car shopping!! And the exciting thing is that it is for me! My parents are getting the itch to get rid of their 12 year old Blazer (finally, that thing is such an eyesore), and I have talked them into taking my car (a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor) and giving me a down payment for a new car (one that will get better gas mileage).
So my top three choices are 1) Nissan Altima Coupe 2) Honda Accord Coupe 3) Honda Accord Sedan. Since tonight is the first time we are going looking, I don't have my hopes up, but if I found something that would be awesome! I'm glad that my Dad is going with me because I don't like to talk price and those sorts of things... It makes me nervous and he is better at it than me anyway:) That is what Dad's are for! And for giving you $20's, even when you are financially independent and 26 years old.
In other news, tomorrow is our weekly day to "eat out" lunch with my work BFF's Chrissie and Kristen. I'm really pumped because I am the biggest fan of the "eat out" lunch day... We are thinking about going to Companion in Clayton. Has anyone every eaten there? What is good? Do they have outdoor seating? I will let you know what I thought about it after we eat there!!
Also, I tried to take Chrissie and Kristen's picture today to put up on my blog, but they wouldn't let me, so here is a pic of the three of us at Chrissie's wedding. They're they best and I love them both dearly!
Toodles!

Yep, still here... Just a really bad blogger!
Hey Everyone!
So, I haven't blogged since September 5th... It is now March 16th... Pretty sure I have set some sort of record for the worst blogger in the world. Anyway, I have a few minutes before I leave to go get my butt kicked at the gym by my trainer, Nicole, so I thought I would hop on here and tell you that I am re-committing myself the the blog. Yep, that's right. I am pledging to not go more than three days in a row without updating the blog.
So, one of my best friend's in the whole world got married this past weekend. Heather and Mike were married at the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church in Soulard, MO with the reception following at the Sheraton in Clayton. The day was absolutely gorgeous, the bride and groom radiant, and it was an all over, beautiful day! I will try to post up some pictures as soon as I can. The only hitch the entire day was that Aunt Pam lost her pants:)
Yesterday was spent eating terribly fattening food (buffalo chicken sandwich with fries from the Cheesecake Factory- HEAVEN), and sleeping with my girls, Sparkles and Stella. Very unproductive and I loved every minute of it!!
Ok, I have to leave now, but I promise I will be back soon!
Ta-ta!
