About Me

My name is Stacy Catherine Hunt.

I am married to a super nerd, he prefers geek, Paul. We live in Orange County in a place that Paul and I are happy to call home. I like to keep it tidy and organized (thanks to the O.C.D I inherited from my mom) and Paul likes to see how many coffee cups he can hide around the house before I demand he puts them in the dishwasher. I have two adorable fluffy boys, Gus and Charlie. I adopted Charlie when he was a little less than a year old. He and I met on the day he was going to be put to sleep. Even though he was scruffy, snarling at me and hallowed by starvation, he had the sweetest eyes and I knew that with enough love, he would come around. It only took a matter of months to transform Charlie from a dog that snapped at people and hid under tables to a dog that loves people so much that he has no regard for personal space. His scruffiness however, remains. I got Gus for my husband and I’s one year anniversary, he always wanted a bulldog and I…well I was reluctant because I believe in only adopting. Gus has quickly become part of the family, and by that I mean he humps the unwilling and terrorizes Charlie on a daily basis. I have never met a dog with more personality that our little tank, Gus.

On March 3, 2012, we welcomed our sweet little baby boy, Logan Jase Hunt to the world. My life since Logan has been a whirlwind of sleep deprivation and fortitude which, although challenging, is worth it every time he gives me a gummy smile.

I grew up in the same community I recently moved back to and find it increasingly frustrating that nothing is how I left it. Houses, apartments and shopping malls now cover all the fields I grew up playing in. I live in one of the safest and cleanest communities in the nation and often times don’t lock my door at night just to tempt fate.

I wasn’t particularly stunning as a child and pre-teen, which meant my days were filled with torment and my nights were filled with me wishing for the distant future. While it was a tough road it made me into the sarcastic and rough around the edges butterfly I am today and has provided the material for some pretty interesting stories.

This blog was started to give me a chance to write, something I love to do but don’t do nearly enough. Recently, Paul and I got married and my blog has morphed into being mostly about this new phase in my life. Sometimes I cook, do stand up comedy and travel. ..and sometimes I just like to complain about feeling fat, lost, trapped or being broke. I hope something here compels you to read along as I stumble through life.

I love life, my family and my friends, eating healthy most of the time and other times I love to eat anything sugary and salty. Sometimes, strike that, most of the time I say things just for the punchline and not because it is something I really think. This is not a trait I recommend for everyone as it results with you having an all too familiar taste of your feet. On rainy days I have the desire to stay home, build a fort and watch movies all day long, but I forge on and join the world of adult responsibility…albeit begrudgingly.
