Constantly amazed by the blades of the fan on the ceiling
The clever little glances she gives me can't help but be appealing
She loves to ride into town with the top down
Feel that warm breeze on her gentle
She is my next of kin
I see a little more of me everyday
Little Miss Magic, whatcha gonna be?
Sometimes I catch her dreaming
And wonder where that little mind meanders
Is she strolling along the shore
Or cruising over the broad savannah
I know someday she'll learn to make up her own rhyme
Someday she's going to learn to fly
Oh that I won't deny
I catch a little more dialogue coming my way
I catch those little brown eyes start to looking astray
Little Miss Magic, whatcha going to be?

Would You Agree?
[5.8.07] - FestivalThe rain smelled like fish
And mud ran between my toes
I was closing one chapter
And opening another, I suppose
Count them all, the Crows they sing
And from the rain comes the silly king
But from father, mother, sister bring
Another page in this crazy thing - called life.

Phenomenon, Schmphenomenon
This started as a Facebook phenomenon, but I thought it would fit nicely here.
25 Random Thing About Me
1. I only like to write with black ink.
2. I have to eat at least three cookies at a time. Not two, not four. Three.
3. I have a wonderful family and I'm proud to be an Ortego, and will be equally as proud to be a Roussell (eek!).
4. I used to drink leftover Italian dressing from salads directly out of the bowl.
5. I secretly want to be a Broadway actor/dancer/singer, but lack serious ability in all three.
6. I HATE traffic and turn into a monster when I feel trapped in traffic.
7. I've been a Christian since I was 7, and have never questioned my faith. It has made me into who I am today.
8. I can't eat leaning over, I have to eat sitting up straight and very close to the table.
9. I have tiny toenails.
10. I love wearing my James Avery cross ring on my left ring finger because of all that it signifies: my grandparents, my purity and my faith.
11. Even though I adore my girlfriends now, I'm very nostalgic, and miss my high school girlfriends, and wish we would have stayed closer - great things are happening to them and I want to share those memories.
12. I am a pack rat, and save everything from candy wrappers to coke bottles. I have a phobia of throwing things away that I might could use later (for example, I never throw pickle or olive jars away, they could be used for craft projects!) - I have an entire cabinet full of these bottles.
13. I admit it, I have washed Ziploc bags and flattened out used aluminum foil to reuse them. Just call me Myra.
14. I talk to my dog Sadie, like she could actually answer me back. I know she understands me.
15. Reality shows are my addiction. Especially Rock of Love.
16. I try and have a quiet time everyday to pray and read, it is also the time where I write the most.
17. I feel more powerful when I wear heels.
18. It annoys me when people correct me. I'm stubborn.
19. I love that I went to a co-ed, public school. It taught me more than book smarts, it taught me how to stand up for myself and take criticism graciously.
20. I've gained a little weight since high school and it affects me more than I thought.
21. I planted corn once with my grandpa. I also used to play Battleship with my other grandfather. These two memories are some of my favorite.
22. I never got interested in MySpace.
23. I love Jason because of how we've grown up together, but I love him more for the man he is turning in to. He makes me laugh and watching him grow in Christ has been an honor.
24. My brain is like a ticker tape of thoughts - constant, unrelenting and sometimes obnoxious. I wish I could turn it off sometimes.
25. I miss my old cat Clarence. I secretly think I killed him because I took a picture of him close up, and I think the flash blinded him, and he ran away. I also miss my parakeet Skye - he used to dance to NSYNC with me.

Night and Day
Sooo we went camping. I made it through. No ticks and bug bites. Only a few massive spiders, but I was brave and did not scream while Katherine killed them. I also helped cut a tree branch, am I fabulous or what!?
What else has been happening? I haven't been able to write as much as I would like lately. I'm getting more inspired to keep up with other "secret" projects (hint: being a marriable woman and conquering my fear of mushrooms), so writing has fallen. But I miss it, and the more I think about the events of my day, the more I think that putting them on paper helps me process through them. It also provides for a great foundation for future writing endeavors (think big!). I think I could do it. Maybe I should add that to my list of goals for this year.
Work has been intense lately. Very intense. Very very intense.
Stephanie's Top 5 Things to Do This Weekend:
5. Workout...twice.
4. Clean off my desk
3. Clean my balcony
2. Get my Mardi Gras dress hemmed
1. STEAM CLEAN!!
