Day 20-Nicknames

• Tiff - obvious
• Biff - I think this was a combo of Tiff & Brown
• Biffsta- MY rap name haha
• Brownie - Ryan used to call me this all the time until we got married :( he even called me this after we got married a couple of times - I miss it!

Day 19-Something you miss

Somethings I miss:

• Having no bills & being debt free - hahaha guess I am growing up.
• Laying by the ocean or by a pool in Florida!
• Living in Lafayette~ I know this sounds weird to say but I miss living close to my family & being able to go over on a random night. Now I have to plan when I see them.
• Being in high school & having school delays. I had the best high school experience ever! I don't know how people say... I hated high school!?!? I love the games on Friday nights, hanging out with my friends & the dances.
• living in apt 624 - I lived w/ Sara & Amber & Roxanne! This was a Fun time in my life! We had parties & girl time!!
• My freshman year @ Purdue & living in the dorms - I met some great people my freshman year, loved going to frats & kinda liked going to school haha
• Ryan having a job where he doesn't have to be up at 4:30am & he can actually stay up past a grandpa time!!
• SUMMER WEATHER!!! I am ready for winter to be over!!!

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!!!
