I am not the singer that you wanted, but a dancer!

Here we go, round 2! Well as I was thinking about where to begin I thought about some golden advise I received from my dear friend Maria when she went to live with the Von Trapp family (if you don't know as to whome I am referring, then you are probably not living as fully as you could be!) she said to "start at the very beginning, a very good place to start." She even followed up that advise with reasons WHY you should start at the beginning, she said "when you read you begin with ABC, when you sing you begin with DO RE ME" For some reason that has always stuck and it just makes sense, so lets take a little stroll down memory lane to my childhood. Don't worry I was probably the most awkward kid on the face of this planet! But I should warn you, although I was awkward I have always been a badass! I try to tell people that I have been swearing since I was a kid and that's why it is so ingrained in my system, don't believe me? Well here is some proof for you-

I don't know if that video worked, but if not I'll post it on my video section of this blog because I can upload it from my phone! I love watching old home videos of myself as a child because I was SOOO goofy! (not that much has changed, I can just recognize it now!) I told you I have been swearing since I was young, if you didn't get a chance to see this and you don't want to look around my profile for it, I'll explain what happens. My sister was filming this and she was a little narcissistic when she was younger, she always had to have at least some part of herself in the videos or they weren't worth watching. So she put her hand in the video and I stop dancing for a second and say, "stop with the hand!" SMH then she does it again and I don't say anything, you can just tell I am getting very frustrated because I give a UGH! while rolling my eyes and slapping my leg, and then SHE DOES IT AGAIN! and I am REALLY MAD NOW! so I say, "STOP WITH THE HAND DAMNIT!" lol I freakin meant it too! Oh young Stacy, you made me so proud in this video of when you were 13-years-old (I know that because previously in the home video my sister and I had a mock beauty pageant and I am asked how old I am!) I swore with such dignity and grace! Keepin it classy in the WVC (West Valley City). You can take the girl out of West Valley, but you can never quite take the West Valley out of the girl! I am going to post another home video of when I was even younger on my video section (or photo section maybe?) and I have to warn you, this may be the most shameless thing that I have ever done, or will do! My sister showed this video to all of my friends at my 7th grade birthday party and I got so embarrassed I ran away and all of my friends were chasing after me (which I imagine didn't take them too long to catch up, seeing is how I was chubby even in my childhood and was probably the slowest kid on the planet!) It is a video of my sisters best friend, Megan and I working out to Richard Simmons (hopefully she is okay with this but she looks great so I assume she doesn't mind) I am in a red football jersey and some red nasty shorts. I completely understand my 7th grade self for running away, I don't, however, understand why after being so shamefully embarrassed about that video would make another embarrassing video! Like I said, I was a WIERD kid! I would make embarrassing videos now, I just wouldn't be ashamed of them anymore! haha As I have been watching these videos for the last couple of days, I feel like I finally understand why I got made fun of as a kid, I was so serious about everything! (especially DANCING! lol) I would be dancing all the time (in a serious manner, not to be funny), one time the missionaries came over to my house and I was dancing in the front room and they walked in while I was strutting my stuff to "dancing queen" by ABBA and I'm pretty sure I kept dancing for a good 2 minutes before I even realized someone else was in the room with me. They called me dancing queen for months and months, even missionaries who came over after they left called me dancing queen! The best part of that is later in life (when I was 20 years old) I did the Miss Murray Pageant (because I had practiced so much as a 13 year old I thought why the hell not?) the opening dance number was to "dancing queen" by ABBA hahaha That had to be because of divine intervention, I have some pretty concrete proof that God is the funniest one of all! But I'll tell you more about the Miss Murray Pageant later in a different post. Well that pretty much sums up my childhood, I was a wierdo with a heart to dance, oh yeah except that when I was 13 I was a freaking genius and decided to have my first e-mail account be "singingprincess991988@hotmail.com let me break that down for you incase you don't want to break that apart by yourself, it's singing princess 991988 AND I still use that account to give people as my junk e-mail address, do you know embarrassing it is to give that to the cashier at bath and body works every time I go in there?! Yes, I understand I can get a new e-mail address but I just forget until I am in line at bath and body works and think "DAMNIT I forgot to get a new junk e-mail address, should I just give them my real e-mail address or just be embarrassed one last time until I go home and make a new one?" huh... that's what I can go do now! Thanks for reminding me everyone! I told my friend Maria I'd give her a shout out in my next blog so hopefully this one's a little better for you! (my real friend Maria, not Maria Von Trapp lol)

And so it begins!

It's hard to know how to begin a blog, I would say it's even a little terrifying! But I have wanted to start one for a while now, if for no other reason than to have something to do at night when all of my lives are gone on Candy Crush! I don't ask for more lives from my friends on Facebook because I like to give the illusion that I am WAY too busy for that nonsense, and I would be ashamed at how often I would have to ask for more lives. Besides I kind of love that they make you stop playing for a couple of hours after 5 consecutive games, I feel like it's a similar concept of how parents can set a time limit on their Kindle for how long their children can play and after the time limit is up the Kindle says "Sorry kiddo, your time is up." (or something like that) So I just want to take a second and thank the makers of Candy Crush for having my best interest in mind! (I'm sure that is why they do it ;) ). Anyway I should put a disclaimer  on this blog, although I understand that the majority of people who are even interested in reading blogs are stay at home moms, or my sister, I can't promise there won't be a few swears here and there. (I promise no F bombs though! That word is gross.) I try to keep my Facebook page very clean, if someone tags in me something that has a swear word attached I immediately untag myself because there are people that I have worked with on my mission, and others that I would not feel comfortable exposing to unfriendly words. (I know that sounds prudish, but just keep reading if you feel that way!) However, I say a lot of "hell" and "damn"'s in my normal life and since this is my blog and those who don't want to read that kind of language, don't have to read this, I am not going to restrict myself from being me. Besides swearing makes everything damn funny! (Pun intended!) I should note that the reason I have decided to start a blog is because I feel like I have so many awkward and embarrassing things that happen to me throughout the day that others should probably hear about! It's not because I go unheard and I need somewhere to vent, because really, I already have like 80 "best friends" that I vent to whenever I want. This is mostly for my own entertainment and enjoyment, and for whoever else wants to hear about it. (which may be no one and that's okay too!) Okay well I want to get off the computer now, but I'm unsure how to end this thing... so.... (btw, I LOVE when sentences end in "so" haha)
