facebook rant

SO … some things on facebook are really getting to me lately. I thought about going on a de-friending RAGE but thought I would let some air out first.
#1 It seems like so many people cannot spell. NOT ONLY that but they don’t try to spell correctly. I am ok with abbreviations like: urs ppl etc. For some reason it drives me crazy that people spell incorrectly all the time & usually the same word. FOR EXAMPLE: Tomorrow – I have seen it spelled tamorrow or tomorow (& lots of other ways)
#2 There is a huge group of people that use the N word like it is common language. I get so annoyed when I am on facebook & I see some little 16 yr old white girl saying the N word on her status. Grow up
#3 Facebook statuses (on my News feed) have been NEGITIVE. I understand everyone will have a bad day every once in awhile but to be negative all the time is annoying. No matter how bad you think your life is, I know there are tons of people out there that would love your life.
#4 There is such a thing as TMI … it just seems like people are putting on their statuses when they take a poop. There are some things I don’t want to know about my facebook friends

FOR EXAMPLE here is a real life wall post ( I will change the names)
Someone’s Dad: i tell you what it is all i can do to keep from pulling my fukin hair out this woman is bout to drive me crazy.....ppl never get married ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday at 7:42pm
Girl who is close to family: Wow (dad’s name) What happened with u and mom?? Plz dont split or get a divorse:(
Someone’s Dad: she is drivin me crazy don't know how much more i can take....
Girl who is close to family: Cant u guys try to work it out. What if u guys actually go through with the divorse and i never see you again??
Daughter: and u dont post this shit on fb dad!! honestlyyy think u have children and i dont think we want EVERYONE knowing
Girl who is close to family: R u mad at me (insert daughters name) ???
Daughter: nooo not at alll jus my sperm donor
Wife/Mom: know hes talking about me but its not all me its him too
Girl who is close to family: Hes still your dad. And he loves you I went through it with my parents. It sucks. I hope everything goes well and keep your head up. I love all of you and im wishing all of u the best:)
Wife/Mom: hes talking about me he don’t what me any more

HELP!!

I need help. I have noticed other blogs that have cute or different style fonts & have different things they can do with the writing.
All I have is Font (8 types), size of text, bold, italic & color of text.
I want more of a variety for blogging & since I am blogging more often I want to have more options... SO I NEED HELP!!!
Please if you have anything I could do please COMMENT!!!

Day 18-Something you regret

When I first read this post title I thought to myself I don't regret anything I've done. I believe you shouldn't live in the past.
I like quotes like :
"Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."
"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person."

BUT THEN I READ THE DEFINITION OF REGRET
re·gret (ri gret′)
transitive verb regretted -·gret′·ted, regretting -·gret′·ting
to feel sorry about or mourn for (a person or thing gone, lost, etc.)
to feel troubled or remorseful over (something that has happened, one's own acts, etc.)
noun
a troubled feeling or remorse over something that has happened, esp. over something that one has done or left undone
sorrow over a person or thing gone, lost, etc

Then I began to think, how could I not have regrets or regret things. I have mourned for someone who is gone & I've had feelings of remorse over something that has happened.
Saying I have regrets is not necessarily saying I would change my past because I am who I am! ALSO I don't think I have the power to change my past! Whats done is done & I think you can only pick up the pieces and move on to be a better person. So I guess I am really torn on this post. I do think everyone has some regrets even if they say NO WAY NOT ME ... every person has to have something they've said/done that they wish they could take back. Also every person has lost someone & mourned for that person.

I've said in a post before that I regret not playing more sports & that is still true. I ran track in high school & I played softball for years when I was a child. I would stay with my Dad on the weekends & summer, he made it a point for us to be involved in some type of activity. As a child I was never pushed to be in sports by my mom. I know she was busy working sometimes 2 jobs & she did the best she could for my sister & I. BUT that's what is great about life --> I will change that for my children. I hope I will have children & I can instill in them the values & great things that come out of being on a team & active in a sport.

Day 17-Something you're looking forward to

I am looking forward to Christmas with my family & bringing in the New Year with friends!! Christmas can be kind of hectic because of all the different sides of family we want to visit with. *This Saturday starts our crazy Christmas schedule.*

• This Saturday we have Christmas w/ my mom’s side of the family in Monticello. We always play a game called LCR (it’s a dice game & very popular). My grandpa is a gambler & I love to take his money hahaha
• The 22nd we are going to South Bend to visit w/ Ryan’s grandma & stay the night. Ryan’s grandma is so sweet. She makes great food & it will be nice to see her.
• Thursday the 23rd we will stay over night at Ryan’s dad’s house in Lafayette. Ryan’s parents are divorced & ever since the boys were little they would go to their dads on the 23rd & wake up the morning of Christmas Eve and act like its Christmas morning. This works out for us because if we added one more Christmas morning activity I might go crazy. We will have drinks, eat & play card/board games!
• Christmas Eve night we will head to Noblesville for my step mom’s side of the family’s Christmas. We go to a candlelight church service every Christmas Eve with their side of the family. It is a great tradition that I love.
• Christmas Eve we will head back to Lafayette to Ryan’s mom’s house to stay the night.
  Christmas morning- We will wake up early on Christmas morning to go to my Dad’s house & open presents with my brothers & parents. We usually eat breakfast & hang out.
  Christmas morning after my dads we Then on to my Grandpa’s in Delphi (he lives by himself)
• Christmas afternoon- then to my Uncle’s house in Delphi to visit with my dad’s side of the family.
• Christmas night- Then finally back to Ryan’s mom’s house for Christmas Dinner (which is always great & table is set up so pretty)

I always look forward to New Years Eve! I love dressing up & going out with friends. Right now we are in the process of planning our festivities for the night! I am sure they will be GREAT!!!

Day 16-Dream house

Doesn't this wine cellar look AMAZING??? How about a home theater? Looks great to me!!
I love the island in this kitchen! All I want is a BIG island

Infinity Pool & hot tub :) especially in this weather I would love to be soaking in this pool

I would love to have a basement with a bar!

Day 15-Bible verse

( I know this is very common but I love it)
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.


Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Day 14-A picture you love

I love not only this picture... I love the man in the picture - hey I even love the woman in the picture, I love the whole day, I love the preparation that went into this day, I love the meaning of our rings & words that were said that day, I love that I have my flowers in this picture (for those of you that dont know, I walked down the aisle & forgot my flowers. I think it was a combination of nerves & excitement!) , I love my dress, I love how handsome Ryan looks, I love that these memories are going to be with us forever.

On our wedding Day :) 06-20-2009
