it happend

i met Joel McHale in real life. he talked to me, gave me a hug, signed my shirt, and then took a pic with me. for reals though it changed my life. he is crazy tall and i told him i want to do stand up and he was like "No way!" and then proceed to give me advice. i could not breath. and the fact that he is so legit makes it that much better.if you are not already aware Joel McHale is the host of The Soup and is one of the funniest people walking the earth today. the picture is kinda bad seeing how it was taken on my phone. he is also on my list of guys that i would marry if given a chance. i am sad to report he did not ask for my hand in marriage but he did laugh when he asked me what he should write on my shirt and i said "just write whatever is in your heart" then i got really nervous when he laughed at my joke. so that's it friends i am a changed women. if you are still unsure of who this man is than go ahead and YouTube his name are something.

Singles Ward Halloween Party (N): meaning a place where a bunch of 20 somethings get together to mix and mingle. The men are free to dress how ever they choose but the women feel the need to dress as cute angles, minnie mouse, or a modest Marilyn Monroe.
But my dear blogger friends, this year i decided to break the mold, be something because i choose to be it and not because i want a boy to talk to me. I went to my singles ward halloween party as a Robot. That's right i spray painted a box silver and put a pot on my head and i rocked it all night long.

However for any of you worried about my ability to act "cute" in a Robot costume I took the liberty of makeing a how to video of how I work it as a Robot

Filming and Laugh track provided by Brookie Steinepreis

you probably think this song is about you

this semester in school i am taking a voice class, and in this class we must choice a song and work on perfecting it so than the other class mates can tear it apart when you preform. for the next assignment the teacher wanted us to make a list of things that makes us unique then choose a song that bast displays the person with in. well this got me thinking and i started noticing things about myself that other people may not share. so here is a small portion of that list.

1) I enjoy writing in red pen

2) I can identify nearly every flower that gross in Arizona

3) every time i drive by a good climbing tree without stopping, i die a little inside

4) I do not enjoy swimming in the ocean

5) I feel uncomfortable in rain and snow

6) I think there is a special place in the underworld for people who drive hummers

7) buying school supplies gives me a natural high

8) floral prints make my heart smile

9) I have a love hate relationship with jazz music

10) i want to be buried in the Sleepy Hallo cemetery in new york state



so with all that said i think the song that well best soot me is "baby-got-back" by sir-mix-a-lot. if you have a different idea please do share.

one of the greatest songs ever written

the beatles
When I was born in '61, they already had a hit

And they worked so hard, and they, made it joe

they really worked really good, and they deserved

all their success

And they earned it, yes they did,

they didn't buy their respect

And everybody wanted to be like them

everybody wanted to be the beatles

And I really wanted to be like him but he died

the legendary rock group did?

Like a magical fariy tale that's hard to believe

But it really did happen they were live and shook the world

God bless them for what they've done

CONFESSION

Any one who knows me well, knows that I CAN NOT STAND the Jonas Brothers. i don't understand them, their music, or what it is about them that make six year old girls use the phrase "they are so hot!" they seem to attract females of all ages. many of my friends are mega fans. but no matter how hard i try to understand there song "year 3000", or see past the fact that they made a cover of a Beatles classic and put it on a target commercial, or studied their faces to find what is so "hot" about them, i still have not found i reason to be a fan. i have been out spoken about how ridiculous i think they are and the obsession of them. I mean come on, look and the music that we have had before their time. they don't even hold a candle to some of the greats and still people buy back packs with their face on it.
but now i have a confession.
the other day i was reading Kella's blog, when a song began to play that she added, it was very calm, had a catchy tune, and was all around delightful to listen to. before the song is over i decided that i like it and would like to know who sings it. i scrolled to the top of the page and i see "love bug" by the Jonas Brothers........i had been hit. i found myself enjoying their song. i sat there quietly by myself trying to figure out how i felt about my situation. the song ended and i had to come to terms with the fact that i wanted to hear it again. so yes my fellow bloggers i enjoy ONE of the Jonas brothers song, and i recommend you lesson to it as well. but does this mean that i am going to watch them on the Disney channel? No. does this mean that i would pay money to see them in concert? No. does this mean i will buy a CD? No. but i am a big enough person to admit when i have succumb to their music. i have not found a second song of theirs that i enjoy, and i still don't think it is right that the younger generation are growing up with the idea that they are the greatest boy band ever.
in the words of Joel McHale.."the Jonas Brothers are officially more popular than the Beatles among young girls who don't know who the Beatles are."

thats what mom said

my mother has some of the greatest quotes of all time, and i would like to now keep an updated blog of some of the things she says...

"you look so poesied on the court, I'm serious some of those girls look like boys but i can tell your a girl" this was said after one of my basketball games

"you don't need to be worried about boys! you should be thinking about basketball and reading good books!" this was said when she found out that her 7 year old step daughter had a boy friend and they were "in love"

"take a long walk off a short peer"

"be careful driving right now, there are a lot of cars outside" this was said when Brookie and i were leaving the house at 1:30 in the afternoon

"you cant have pogs they are gang related"

"get up get to it really sock it to em' " the cheer she says when waking you up

"I think Brookie will marry before steph"

"you have to suffer to be beautiful"

"oh!! you look so pretty!! stand next to the book shelf and ill take a picture!" what she says every Sunday when brookie and i have gotten ready for church

"no, sweetie you dont want small feet! your so tall you would look stupid if your feet were small" this is said to my sister becky everytime she refers to her large feet

"friends come and go but sisters are forever" this is said any time my sisters and i fight

"your cat is a hussy" this was said to my step sister after we thought her cat was preggers

"stand on one foot in the corner while you watch me vacume right"

"shoulders back, boobs out" this is said whenever any of her daughters are leaving the house

"poop or get of the pot" this is said whenever she is stuck behind a slow driver

"STOP FART'N AROUND!!!!" her way of saying please calm down

"that prayer went to the ceiling and now where else!!!" this was said after me and brookie hit eachother during family prayer

"HAHAHAHAHAHA O MY GOSH I CANT BREATH!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! (tears are streaming down her face) HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" this was her response when i told about the hike i went on for a date and how i feel on my face over 10 times.

mom: "Who am I smashing with the door?" me: "STEPHANIE!!!"

hallelujah its raining men!

My best friend Morgan and I have a tradition that we follow faithfully. and in this tradition if we know that the other one is sick or out of town or what ever the situation might be we send pictures to each other via email of men that we know the other one admires. many of gloomy days have been brightened by a simple email of my future husband or my pretend boyfriend. and tonight i am going to post some faces that make my heart smile. and i hope that who ever you are and where ever you are, you will see this and right away think happy thoughts and dream of a better tomorrow.

Oh Christian Bale. You know the saying "you never forget your first love"? nothing rings truer when it come to our relationship. i was only six years old when i first realized i loved this man, and he has stayed in my heart ever since.

The boys of the Brenden Leonerd Show. A short lived TV classic. pretty much just a much of boys in Vermont with a camera and ABC family airs there footage. we first met when i was 15 and i had had me tonsils removed, i was sad and lonely when this show appeared on my screen and i realized that not all is lost. if you have not seen this show i suggest you finish reading my blog then look it up.

i love you boys

Steven Colbert-I don't know wither its his wireless glass, his dedication to wrist awareness, or his part in his hair, but i love this man, but it is a different kind of love. obviously if he texted me tomorrow asking me to marry him i would ditch everything and run to him. but i would easily take a job as his hair dresser or even the person who brings his coffee. just so i can witness his comedic genius in person.

LaBron James...........enough said.

This is the man from Take Home Chef on TLC, i don't know his name but what i do know is that the man can cook and he is ridiculously good looking. i must admit that since the show i do not mind going to the grocery store. i spend the whole time acting like i don't know what to buy in hopes that he will come down the ile with his camera crew and come home with me and cook me an amazing meal. so please nameless hot guy from TLC come find me at Safeway, you wont be disappointed.

My Andy Samberg. you can see him Saturday nights on SNL. your breath will be taken away by his good looks, and your control of your bladder will be taken away by his comedy. Andy if you are out there reading this......can i be your girlfriend?

mmmmmm, Denzil, yummy. If you do not find this man attractive then you can just leave cuz when i think of the word "man" this is the image that comes to mind.

Brian Williams i have the biggest crush on this man! i could grow old with him and just sit on the porch swing and he can read to me out loud from To Kill A Mocking Bird. there is something about this man that makes me want to tell him all my secerets. i feel that i can trust him 100%

oh shia! you make me feel like a school girl!!! i must say though that i think the new shia needs a good kick in the pants! what happen to my boyfriend from Even Stevens?? oh those were the days. remember shia?? remember the time you tried to win an eating contest?? or when you found the Hanuka presents. those were simpler times. lets holds hands and go back to those days together shia, just me and you.

John Krasinski.... my dream co-worker. talk about the perfect man. Am I right ladies?!!

in all seriousness....marry me john

Listen up kids. this is Joel McHale and if you get the E channel then you need to watch the soup staring this man. it will change your life. he is funny and wears thin ties. yum. p.s. if any of you reading this know Carter Sorensen...this is Carter in 20 years.

ok Mr. Anderson Cooper. I want to marry him, have his children, raise them in a cottage in Belgium, while he travels the world interviewing important people, spreading awareness for some horrible disease, and visiting towns that have just been destroyed. and i would be 100% happy

Sister acr part II

now bloggers it seems that it must be a law that if a women gives birth to two children who are both either female or male. the women MUST dress the children in the same clothes. ergo, my mother dressed us alike. and do to the years of this matching torture i can not leave the house if brookie and i are even wearing the same color. the damage is just that severe.

the matching clothes started before we even could walk.

i know i know, the lace is pretty intense, side note: i still have those bangs

then as we grew older our wardrobe become a little more sophisticated

first day of school, me with the classic snoopy overalls and brookie with the more popular Winnie the pooh

and last the matching hair dos

i truly think this is one of the creepiest pictures ever! we have the creepy long pig tails, touching a baby's face, it looks like something from a horror movie....and i still have those bangs

Sister act part I

Dear Bloggers,
I would like to introduce you to my other half. Her name is Tiffany Brooke Steinepreis, aka Brookie. She is my younger sister, and do to the fact that she does not have a blog I have taken it open it my self to introduce her to you. Before i begin it is important to note that she is not my only sibling i have two older sisters and an older brother who I love VERY much but this post is dedicated to Brookie.this is the fam. Angie is the oldest she is in the strips, Becky is next she is in pink, and the kid behind the plant is none other than James. we are an American Family.

This is part one out of a four part blog. The picture above is one of Brookie and I, She was born May 10th, I was 19 months old. Here is the deal people I was born first and I was given the name Stephanie, 19 months later my mother had another baby and named that one Tiffany. are you seeing where i am going with this?? IT'S THE SAME NAME!!!! Stephanie and Tiffany. talk about a bad Disney made for TV movie about twins and how their parents gave them names that rhyme. But folks when the two children are not twins and are clearly two different people it is not cool to rhyme their names. so don't do it. So before "Tiffany" even turned a year old we were all calling her Brookie.

Now Brookie and I have shared a room since the day she was born until the day i moved out, so about 17 years, and we have done everything together from road trips to Beaver OK, to strolling stings. this however does not mean we are anything alike.

1st example: as a child brookie had the smile of an angel, while i looked like the demon child

Brookie to your left and yours truly to your right

WHO THE CRAP PUT ME IN RED NYLON!? Also note, Brookies cute little finger chew

2nd example: Brookie was always pleasant and nicely dressed. mean while I had a difficult time understanding why we wear clothes, and even how we wear clothes Yes my underwear is on backwards, and the music is upside down......that's how i roll

Last Brookie does not have a single competitive bone in her body. As long as everyone is happy than she is happy. As for me, I have a different view

Brookie and I at some arcade park. She is the one in the blue just shooting the breeze (what the crap is on her head?) while I have my "game face" on looking like i am ready to tare into a piece of meat.

We all have are differences. but that's what makes us "unique". I think my mother said it perfectly when I asked her why Brookie has cute blond curls and why I had strange bald spots at age 5. she simply replied..."every one has their own thing that makes them pretty, and when you get older i am sure you will have a full head of hair"

Forgiveness..... is more than saying sorry

Dear Bloggers,
I am asking for your forgiveness for my pathetic blogging skills. My BFF Morgan Marlyn Wood has been on my case about it for some time now. Well my fellow bloggers I now have my very own lap top so now I have a feeling that this is all I will be doing. My deep apologizes go out to the only two people that comment on my last blog, the Wood sisters and the Fletchers (and yes Fletchers I do remember you both, the first time I met Mr. Fletcher he had purple cool aid on his face) thank you guys for staying with me in this dark and lonely period of my life. You did not have to stay and support me but you did, and I am forever great full.
I guess what I am trying to say that if all the Bloggers in the world could forgive for my poor behavior I promise on John Stamos' career that I will keep up on my blogging and I will leave you wanting more after each new entry.
Thank you for your understanding and Love
Stephanie Steinepreis

we didn't start the fire

I Stephanie Lynn Rose, have something I would like to inform the world of. This is something that is a growing problem in the world of fish tanks and is not getting the attention it deserves. As of June 2005 our family fish tank randomly and with out explanation catches on FIRE!!!!! It happens in the dead night when all is quit, my mother wakes to a strange smell. She follows the smell down stairs to see a fish tank ON FIRE. She then informs all in the house that is over the age of 16 and we gather quickly to see phoenomone. we then run around it in nothing but our PJ's looking for the cause. we find it, we fix it, we go back to bed.....only to lie awake wondering when is the next time our family fish tank will go up in flames.
My dear friends, i have racked my brain for what could be going on in our little ocean in a box, and the only thing i can come up with is that we have a real life finding nemo story going on in our home. the fish want to escape and the only way they know how if to set their home on fire.
anyone out there reading this and has had the same problem please call
1-800-fishonfire and one of or operates standing by will assist you in this time of need. thank you dear friends, and God bless our fish
