Being an adult is overrated..

I've not been very good at this whole blogging thing this summer..... But, here is what's going on in the life of Stacie... Haha.

I move in a week! Can you believe that?! A WEEK! One thing I have learned about doing all this adult stuff is that it's STRESSFUL! For example, Sarah and I went to Johnson City yesterday to sign the lease. Well, since we were up there, we decided to go ahead and talk to the Power Broad to make sure they can turn on the lights.  We were figuring maybe about 100 for a service charge... NOPE! 300 dollars! Seriously people? 300 to turn on the lights. Needless to say, we do not have the lights in our name yet. We have no idea how exactly we are going to fix it and be able to turn them on by Friday..... :/ It was just such a shock... I know that something will work out though. Everything else is. Like today I decided to go to some thrift stores and look around to get the last minute things....Lucky for me both Goodwills I went to were having a half off everything sale! I got a new sheet set and an office chair for 10 bucks! I was pumped. Then, my grandfather called me today and told me that he has a chest of drawers for me. My grandfather has been such a blessing to Sarah and I for furniture. He has basically gave us everything. I only had to buy an entertainment center. So, basically the lease is signed, the cable guy has been called, all the furniture basically bought, EXCEPT the lights!!! Ugh. It's so stressful! Luckily, we have some options.... Hopefully, they just work out...

You ought to know...

So, you know when you watch VH1 and they always show you artist you need to know? Well, this is going to be one of those type dealios....

I just got back from a show at The Pilot Light. Originally, I went there to see Johnny Astro and the Big Bang which were amazing like always, but the band right after was Plainclothes Tracy. I absolutely love them. They are a mix between She & Him, The Civil Wars kinda, and some Norah Jones. Basically just GOOD stuff! They're a local band from Knoxville, but oh my goodness they were good. The music just makes you feel good. Something different, but so good at the same time! Check it out!


Other than working all the time, I've been doing absolutely nothing. Haha. I move into my new apartment in 2 and a half weeks. Crazy, right? I still have so much to get done, but I'm rather excited to be back in Johnson City!

Oh and I have been dealing with a bird issue. Every night right after midnight, there are a couple of birds right outside my window at my house. They only chirp after midnight, right when I want to go bed. My dad has bought a fake owl and everything, but nothing is working. Last night, I went outside with a broom and hit the tree a couple of times and threw some rocks up into it, it worked for like 2 minutes. A couple of minutes ago, I did the same thing. Hopefully, it works. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! They are sooooooo annoying!
