I know it has been a while, I suppose life started getting busy, or less interesting leaving me little to blog about but none the less, I'm back. Life in Wilmington is going well. For those of you who have heard about the couch saga, my new couch was delivered today and thanks to my recent paycheck and Sarah giving me another table my family room is really coming along :) I am very pleased.
As I predicted, with August hitting life has picked up at work and the rookie moments are becoming more frequent. I must say that for every rookie moment I have, I have 5 moments when I think to myself either how lucky I am to have found this job and opportunity so that keeps a smile on my face. More and more I am becoming more comfortable and the true Stefanie Mancuso comes out. Example: At the Student Affairs division retreat yesterday in Southport I was standing with some friends on the deck telling a story (full out, Stefanie story... acting it out and everything) actually, let me rephrase I was acting out what I believe I would be like as the Bachelorette (Christina was convincing me I should be on the show) and I knock my whole plate and cup off the ledge of the deck onto the hill. There was no good way to get onto the hill to pick up my mess, so, classy as ever I hoped over the railing, picked up my trash, and then climbed back over (no, I was not wearing a dress or skirt). Classy as always.
I saw Charlie St. Cloud Sunday night. Good movie, clearly some tears occurred, even from the guys. Again, I need to do a better job of not interacting with the films, it seems those around me aren't into it...it's just a challenge...I've never had an inside voice. I will put the disclaimer that it is not a chick flick, they just flash Zack Effron all over the screen in the previews to get 15 year old girls to buy tickets. In fact, it reminded me a great deal of the 6th sense only with a hotter actor and less whispering.
Yes, I am sad about the Ali not picking Chris L on the Bachelorette, however, I am happy for Ali and Roberto. They seem happy. I just hope they honeymoon in Alaska so he doesn't sweat so much. Poor guy. Did anyone else notice how tight Roberto's pants were and how difficult it was for him to get down on one knee, I know our house did.
Lastly, I have a public confession to make. As many of you who work at UNCW know, I am a regular at the local Fisher Center Einsteins. Today, I had a meeting with a student there and my boy Samual offered me my usual coffee cup for my regular Vanilla coffee. I chatted with Daniel, the manager and proceeded to have my meeting. Following my meeting I went over to fill up my coffee cup with a little more coffee before heading to my next meeting. Daniel yelled over to me "do you want me to charge you for that refill" to which I responded "don't hate on me Daniel". Tonight, I share this story with Katie and she informed me that you do not get free refills from Einsteins and that was the reason that she and Adrienne never do when I do after our frequent breakfasts. Clearly, I feel terrible for taking advantage of my dear friends at Einsteins and abusing my regular status. Lesson: Do not assume all places have free refills. I will remedy this situation, asap.
I think that is all for now... I've got some serious shout outs going on though:
- Congratulations to Katie and Clay Haley - they had a BEAUTIFUL wedding that I was lucky to attend last Saturday.
