30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-28)-(Something that Stresses me out)

I get really stressed when I know I only have a certain amount of time to do something, and that time is rapidly winding down and I feel like whatever I have to do won't be done in time! That really stresses me out! I just seem like the kind of person that CANNOT work well under pressure, but for some reason I always pull through!! :)

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-27)-(Pets?)

...I have no pets, hate to say. Besides the few goldfish as a kid. I had a puppy when I lived in the country, but I don't know what breed he was. I just remember I named him Mister. He was black. He was tiny. And he would guard the back door...that nobdy used! But when somebody would walk back there, he would chase them to the front...silly dog. He got hit by an 18 wheeler...I miss that dog!

I still live with my parents, but when I get my own place in about a year or 2, i want to save up more for a terrier of some sort!
Either a Yorkie, or a West Highland! But in Charleston they're like almost $800! Thats alot of saving!

Hopefully, it'll be a housewarming present:)

I've learned that life is way to short, and that every moment of it should be cherished as if its your last! 

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-23)-(Favorite Vacation)

My favorite vacation was to California & Vegas! During the summer of 2009, my sister's husband was stationed at Fort Irwin and they had to move to the middle of the Mohave Desert! At first they hated it, then they grew to like it! We went to visit and stayed in L.A for a few days, then we went to stay on base with them for a few days because they both had to go back to work, then we went to Vegas for a few more days! We took so many pictures, but when we got back to SC our computer had a virus and wiped our whole computer clean, all the pictures...GONE! I was upset because I didn't get around to saving the picture to my flash drive yet! But hey, even though they are back on the East coast now, we're going back next year, because we have alot of family there! So we'll remember to save the picture that time! Even though there is no evidence, that was my favorite vacation!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-22)-(Favorite City)

Rome!

My favorite city is Rome, although I've never been. Its such a visually stunning city! I want to go on my honeymoon, I think it'll be very romantic! And the beautiful architecture and all the amazing history. As you all know, I love history! I can't wait!!



30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-21)-(Picture of Myself)

Here I am...

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-20)-(Nicknames??)

I really don't have any permanant nicknames.

My close family calls me Tiff-Dog..I have no idea why!! They just came up with the name and if i'm not home and they come to visit, and I walk in the house they all say "Whats up Tiff-Dog" practically in unison! Or when they're bothering me!

My sister B calls me Clara??? She said it was somebody in a book, or movie , or something like that and I remind her of them...Whatever she says!!

And my friends just call me Tiff! Simple. In elementary and middle school everybody called me cheeks, because I had...have chubby cheeks. But I went to a different high school and didn't see them anymore so it stopped...thannk God.

And my mommy call me Lovin'...idk! She's done that since I was a baby! 

-smooches Tiff!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-19)-(Something I miss)

Hmmm, what do I miss! I miss when I was younger and had a really good relationship with my father! I don't now,but I'm trying to work on it!

That is what I miss! 

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-18)-(Something I Regret)

I really don't have a major regret. But if it had to be anything, as much as I hated school. I wish I was more active during my Senior year. I did the senior activities....Halloween Hoot, Senior Breakfasts(Chick-fil-A[Our Sponsor, its directly across the street], and Shoney's[Chick-fil-a in Oct & Shoney's in Feb]), T-Shirts(short & long sleeve) [and the short sleeve had the entire senior class names on it, and the long sleeve had our actual signatures], Easter Egg Hunt, Senior Luncheon! I even went on the senior trip, which was good throughout, but ended badly! It ended badly due to us waking up late and me being the last one in the shower, and my hair was in all kinds of directions. And when I was in the shower my roomates left me and the chapperone was like everybody was waiting on ME and my suitcase wasn't even packed! And when I got to the buses we still had to wait for other people, that chapperone pissed me off! LIAR! And I got a seat next to a smelly guy! At the first stop, I switched! Then Prom...what a disaster! My hairdresser took forever, si I was running late. I had to pick up THREE other people! 2 of my girlfriends and my supposed "date" I finally got home, good thing I took a shower before I left...then as I'm getting ready my DRESS RIPS!! The zipper just rips..I was so devasted! I felt really really fat of course! So all 3 of my friends are calling me wondering where I am, and how far away I am! I had to resort to an ugly brown dress I had to wear in my cousins wedding! And it stopped in the middle of my calf and was UGLY! I went from a cute, purple, short, kinda poofy but not to much, and actually matched my date to an UGLY brown frumpy thing! I was PISSED! I left my house for prom feeling UGLY! I cried all the way to pick up my first friend and almost crashed because I was crying so hard! And our dinner reservations got set back!! As we sat in the Japanese restaurant waiting for our chef to cook for us, and people were looking at us and smiling realizing we were goin to prom, I still felt hideous! My 2 girlfriends had on pretty dresses and me...NOT! And to make it worse, I forgot to tell the waiter I was allergic to shrimp and my food had to be cooked seperately, so after he started he had to take the food off and go get fresh food...he was pissed! And so was all the other strangers we were seated with. Then we were almost lost because I didn't have my glasses on to see street signs and stuff and it was dark already. Prom ended at 10:30(LAME) and it was about 9:20ish when we left the restaurant! Prom took place at the Yorktown(look it up, its nice) and it was like a maze getting to it! I felt really uncomfortable walking in with my cute hair, cute silver AE heels, and UGLY dress! But I stayed with the friends and tried to forget about it, but in the back of my mind I was counting down the minutes until they stopped the music, gave out the goody bags, and kicked us out! It came pretty quick and I hauled ass out of there! But on the journey back across the Cooper River Bridge my "date" turned into a douche bag! He started smoking out of nowhere, and I didn't even know he smoked...pissed me off more! Then I dropped my other friends off and went back to my house and changed, immediately! Then I took my "date" home so he could change. Then we went to meet my friends and iHop, way better than Prom! We sat in the empty Tanger Outlet parking lot and blasted music and laughed, tons of fun! Then we searched for after prom parties, my date knew a girl that was having a party so we went there and I didn't know her so I stayed downstairs with my friends, who drove behind us! And we saw kids still in dresses and tuxes super drunk! Not my thing at all, I don't smoke or drink...call me boring, it was just never my thing. My date got tipsy on like two beers, apparently he can't handle alcohol so I took him home and he was mad, and I was not going to risk driving around a drunk minor...no way! We went to a different party, with no alcohol and cooler people! And had so much fun!! I enjoyed after prom way better than the actual prom! I just regret not actually seizing senior year and not getting a dress way early! But! I don't have a time machine, and I can't hit the do over button! But thats the only thing I regret, I'll take the rest of life with a grain of salt!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-17)-(Something I'm looking forward to)

I'm looking forward to finishing college and becoming a middle school teacher! Plain and simple...just like that, its what I'm looking forward to the most! I'm not really a go to school, listen to teachers and principals with the silly rules type of person, like what they had at my school..like. No cell phones, no hats of any kind(what about a bad hair day???), pay $25 just to park on your silly little campus! And we can't even leave...at least we weren't supposed too! :) I just didn't like going from class to class and listening to boring teachers and copying notes, taking quizzes and tests, and I had..the least school spirit...EVER! I just wasn't a fan of all those crazy personalities and bi-polar teachers! And school lunch...yuckkk!! For some reason, I just hated school. But I have a feeling I will mature over the course of college and be a little more patient and tolerant. We shall see...

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-16)-(Dream House)

I don't neccesarily have a picture of my dream house but i have a visual in my head! I would like to buy a lot with my future husband and be able to pick every single detail of our home...fixxer upper! Hell-No! Tiny love shack...I think not! But i want a house that I know i designed and decorated, and even chose the fixtures and appliances, i think it would be worth it! Thats my dream house!

As far as the exterior and interior of the house...The outside I want to have a lot either on the corner or in a cul-de-sac! In a corner lot and a cul-de-sac you have a lot more space for people to park when you have barbeques and get togethers. I want a smooth drive way and a 2-door garage. I want a porch with a swing on it like when I was little so I can swing and drink sweet tea or lemonade! I want my house to be completely brick! I don't want that sucker to come down..haha! And on the inside I want...I'll just go room by room!

• Foyer: big mirror, chandelier, fancy view of stairs, a little glass table with fresh flowers, and a cute little bench thingy-majigger!!
• Living Room: A typical living room sofa, love seat, one person chair recliner thing! Ginormous t.v. and marble fireplace with adorable mantle. A coffee table, and end table that I totally wanna get from a thrift store or something and revamp em' and make it me/us! And its way cheaper! And I want it to have a historical/chic/laid back/european vibe!
• Dining Room: I want it kinda safarish, with dramatic lighting, and a cute cherry wood buffett and cute pictures and wall art, that i'll probably do myself! Something bold and a little different like cheetah or zebra chairs and a gold chandelier. A jungley carpet..??
• Kitchen: I want the kitchen to be cute, but totally functional since I love to cook! I want it to be (as wierd as it sounds) 50's diner meets modern but still with a vintagey feel! I like old things! I want a big island with an extra sink for washing veggies and stuff! I need lots of space, especially when im pissed or in a bad mood, I tend to bake alot...for no reason! So messes happen quick. I need a big ole' pantry and a half bath close by, cause I take lots of potty breaks! haha! What house doesn't have a dishwaher now-a-days?? I want all the good appliances in bright colors, like yellow and red, i want the kitchenaid mixer and alot of baking dishes and stuff. Alot of that is going to be on my registry when i get married...look out Bed Bath and Beyond!!
• Master bedroom: I could care less what my future husband wants "our" bedroom to look like, I will not budge! But i'll compromise with his man cave area...all his!! I want a rustic native american theme/feel! Since i'm 1/2 native american I want indian art on the wall, a giant dream catcher above the bed. A totem pole lamp, and a sitting area with tribal throws and a fireplace with a t.v. over the mantle. A moccasin/suede looking bench/trunk at the end of the bed. I want it apparent of the theme without being to cheesy. And a walk in closet.
• Master bath: I don't really care too much about the bathroom, just his/her sinks, vanity for me, shower, and #2 toilet in the little closet thing, I don't care for a tub because I hate baths...I only take showers! But if he wants it...just give me a big ass closet to store all my shoes and purses and i'm good to go!
• Guest bedroom: I want that more nautical and vintagey! Like the white iron bed, and maybe vera bradley bedding! The white or eggshell walls and a cute little chair and white end tables, and white lamps! The other guess room won't be as bright and white, more earth tones mixed with wine colors, and more of a european theme! Most of the wall art, i'll do myself. Keep me busy..haha!
• Man Cave: If we still live in Charleston then we'll need an attic, if we move to a different state then a basement. I don't think they build basements in SC because of the sealevel or something like that I think! But he'll have his flat screen, PS3, Xbox, but the Wii must be downstairs for me too...haha! Or we can have two of em! He'll have his little bar, mini fridge, all kinds of games, little couch and his "special" chair! Pool table, especially cause I like to play too, and whatever else will fit in the man cave! I'll even get him a little sign made to hang on the door and stuff so he can hang with his friends and I guess the other wives/girlfriends and myself will be in the kitchen making snacks and waiting for them to finish playing Madden or whatever guys do!
• Office/Craft/Relaxation Spot: I'll defenitely have to have this for myself, because when I do crafts, I tend to get a bit messy and usually fall asleep where I am. I'm always on my laptop in bed, and whenever I get married, i'll leave my laptop in the office and never bring it to bed unless he says its ok, because if it was up to me, I could be on the laptop all night and pay him no attention :( so I guess being married, thats not good! Then again I will be a teacher, and those lesson plans won't complete themselves! :)

And I guess this is what I would SLAP in my dream house! Along with the WONDERFUL husband and the Lexus in the driveway! :) And a cute little Yorkie!!

**In a 12-Days of X-mas sing-song voice**

In a suburb on a corner LOT!!!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-15)-(Bible Verse)

Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
                               

-Ephesians 6:1

I like this scripture so much because every girl or teenager for that matter has little tifts with their parents. Even when they get on my nerves, or i get on their nerves and she'll yell at me, and i'll roll my eyes. Or as much times as she'll constantly barge in my room for nothing or call my name for nothing and if she bother's me when im tired or don't feel like being bothered and i say "leave me alone" i would NEVER cuss at, disrespect, or raise my hand to my mama or step dad. Disagreements are apart of life and people will always have them, but my mama is the one that gave me life and to disrespect her would be a major slap in the face to her, as if i don't appreciate being alive! Im a southern gal, and we just don't believe in disrespecting your elders, and my parents raised me, and my sisters wayyyy better than that! Cause in the south you don't mess with or talk about a gal's triple M's! Money...Man...and MAMA! :)

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-14)-(A Picture You ♥)

Its so many things in life i love i can't just pick A picture that i love! But if i had to picture a picture that i love, just based on the picture itself it would have to be....

I took this picture of my niece at a local park and it snapped it like this accidently. She ran to the swing before i had a chance to even say anything, and my camaera is stupid. When you turn it on, you can't just start taking pictures, you have to give it what i call "warm-up time"  then take the picture, and if you press the button to take the picture it won't take it until its good and ready!! L0l. I know...i need a new camera! But just the way she's smiling in this picture and the way she's so happy, she should be it was really cold and she begged me all that week to take her to the park, and i finally did. Even though we were only there about 15 minutes since both of our noses were running, the park is really big and under alot of trees so not even a drop of sunlight to warm you up and it was cute cute guys at the baseball field next to the park and i did NOT look my best! :( But i still love this picture, everybody did!

p.s. its a really good park, big something for everybody and not to far. And in the summer it has PERFECT shade to protect you from that Charleston heat!



30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-13)-(Goals!)

After FOREVER of trying to decide, i think i finally decided what i want to be in life!

I want to be a middle school Social Studies teacher!

I've always loved history, im always so intrigued by movies like National Treasure and Schindler's List, Blood Diamonds, Apollo 13, Glory, Diary of Anne Frank, Saving Private Ryan, Green Mile, Roots and many other movies that give some tyoe of background on people and where they come from and how America became established.

I don't think i have the patience for pre-school and elementary school kids because they ask to many questions. They ask the SAME question over and over again! And its cute for a while but all day everyday...I don't think i could do it!

High school kids are way too grown for me, almost everybody is taller than me because im 5'2'' give or take, and most high schoolers have attitudes and they are rude sometimes and as bad as it may sound, i'd rather not get arrested for slapping some sassy teenager for disrespecting me in ways they'd probably never ever disrespect their parents!

So, i thought middle schoolers...PERFECT. Not to juvenile, but not too grown and sassy. Even though that is around the time they start to find their identity and develope raging hormones i'll be the perfect teacher to teach them that they can be mature without being disrespectful. I want to not only be an academic teacher, but a moral teacher. I want the kids to know that you don't have to lose your morals once you get to high school, that you can be a good person, a cool person without being the un-popular popular person! What i mean by that is the person thats only popular materialistically, and physically but when it comes down to personality and spirit, your a complete outcast! And we all know somebody like that!

Welp...That my goal! To sorta make a difference with pre-teens and teenagers!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-12)-(What I Believe)

I believe in the God, nothing more...nothing less!

I also believe that i can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!

God gave his only begotten son, so that we may have eternal life!

And that prayer changes things!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-10)-(Something i'm afraid of)

Its may sound wierd but sharks scare the hell outta me! I will not watch Jaws, Deep Blue Sea...NONE of that! It makes me wanna hide under my covers and never come out! It is just so scary to me, and i'm usually not a scary person. And if i just so happend to see a shark commercial or walk in on somebody watching a shark movie i'll automatically get paranoid! I;ll be too scared to use the bathroom or go in the shower or get off my bed because i think a shark is goin to get me. When i go to the beach, i never get to far in the ocean i only go knee deep, and if anybody in my family goes really far out i get extra scared and super paranoid for them!

P.S i didn't post the picture until after i typed all of this because i would be scared, and when i Google Imaged it i held the laptop almost upside down so i can barely see and just saved the first picture to get it over with...i still fully don't know what this picture looks like, and i don't care to know...Here goes nothin...
