A friend of mine shared this on her Facebook page:

I then posted this to her page...skip ahead to 9:10




Later I get notifications leading me to this:

This Leah chick obviously has no idea who she is dealing with and definitely needs to take a chill pill.
*Yes, I noticed I didn't capitalize my "I's".  I rarely do on Facebook. Why?, you ask. Because it's Facebook and an informal website.  Oh, yeah and because I just feel like it!

my everchanging & everlasting gobstobber

...its everchanging because I'm constantly adding & checking my list off....it's everlasting because I will never quit pursuing this list.


So my everchanging and everlasting gobstobber is my bucket list!  I love to travel for the mythical romances that are supposed to happen when you travel, food,  shopping, adventure, the little treasures that aren't "touristy".
PART 1 of my bucket list:
okay, so Front & Center will be THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD!  Why wouldn't you want to see these magnificent structures that have quite literally stood the test of time.  It's amazing how at the limited resources these ancient people had available and were able to erect these colossal structures that we can learn from and "ooooh & awwwe" over.  It's simply AMAZING.
*DISCLAIMER*  There are several versions of the Seven Wonders of the World (i.e. ancient world, medieval world, modern world, natural world, industrial world, blah blah blah)...these are my picks from those lists.


1.Great Pyramids of Giza

2. Colosseum in Rome

3. Great Wall of China

4. Stonehenge

5. Leaning Tower of Pisa

6. Machu Picchu

7. Chichen Itza 

8. Grand Canyon

9. Aurora Borealis/The Northern Lights

Over Bear Lake, Alaska

In Fairbanks, Alaska









10. Golden Gate Bridge

PART 2 of my bucket list:

(and yes, I sang the Fifty Nifty song to make sure I had all the states listed...LOL)
    14. Drag Race a Luxury Car
    15. Go on The Price Is Right

get me outta this place!!!

Well, it's been almost 10 months since my last vacation.  I'm ready to rip my hair out!  I need a break from work, I need a break from life!  You wonder what kind of stress can a 20-something gal be having when she's single with no children....well, somehow someway I do.  Of course, in my opinion I do; if others evaluated my situation I'm sure they'd say I'm overreacting.  Oh well...who cares what they think; I know I DON'T.

I do have a mini vacay in Destin, FL approaching at the end of August.  I wouldn't necessarily consider it a vacay...more like a family reunion.  My cousin is having a destination wedding...and there ya have it folks my "vacation".

But I'm yearning for something more, something with more splendor, pizzaz....are you following me?  I want to go somewhere where I can revel in the culture, the food, the liquor, & most importantly THE MEN. :)

Vandalism Shamdalism

It was brought to my attention by AT that I've been M.I.A. lately.  I can't help but wonder why.  After I took a few moments to ponder why i realized it was because I had been violated a few weeks ago.  


After a night of gallivanting on Washington Ave I come to find my car with its window bashed in.  Initially I was shocked, then anger started rushing over me.  I called the Houston Police Department; they didn't send patrol to complete a police report, rather they called about 7 hours later to conduct the police report over the phone.  At that point RAGE became the emotion then the tears works started.  I was having an emotional overload.  It was mainly for the fact that the idiots broke into my car and took nothing of value! They had their hands on my satellite radio (which was not in eye sight) with all the hook up equipment. Did they take it? NO!  My GPS was in the glove compartment. Did they take it? NO! But they did manage to take all my mail from the side doors and throw it about in the car; they did manage to take empty water bottles and whatever else was under the seats out and throw it about in my car.  But I did realize a few days later what was missing...my statement from the vehicle registration folks that my registrations was due.  Now this is my theory, these idiot criminals probably thought it was the actual registration sticker (my county puts an example of what it will look like on the actual statement) and probably either plan to use it themselves or sell it.


Nothing like this has happened to me before. What really upset me is that they broke into my car and took nothing of value.  Its like, HELLO! You went through this much trouble why not finish the job right!


So Now I'm rolling around town with a cardboard window wrapped in a black trash bag until I save my pennies to replace my window.  Tried to go through the insurance and just pay a deductible to have it fixed...$500 i think not!  I will just scrounge up $200 and pay it out of pocket.

Poor Addie...

Cool Nerds & Babies

Wow...first off It's been 8 months since my first & last post! 


Obviously I have a problem with following through on projects.  Yes,  I wanted to "blog" but yet I never followed through...so here I am again attempting to commit to an endeavor that is supposed to unveil who I am really am to you and MOST IMPORTANTLY to myself!


Okay enough with the semi-intro now to the JUICY biz!


My girlfriends and I ...which i will now & from here on out refer to them as The Wolfpack email each other everyday making sure we keep up.  So recently the subject as been on men, dating, babies, etc. Well here it goes:


Since April of this year (2011--but we have known each other since 2007 *on & off*) I have been interested in one man, oh yes sidenote: He will be referred to as "DJ" for the protection of his identity.  As I was mentioning I'm very much smitten with DJ he makes me think, carries a great conversation, and is a cool nerd like me also.  We both love the History Channel, travelling, geography...we've talked about the Olmecs, the Mayans, Pangaea, etc.....YES I told you earlier NERDS, but COO L NERDS.  But I digress, recently his mannerism has shifted from attentive to checking in sporadically.  OH, it's such a small world because I was leaving a party and who do I run into....HIM aka DJ. DJ hugged me, was trying to do that whole caress the arm thing...so the "Old Tiffani" exposed herself & was a bit standoffish and cold towards DJ.  I had just called him the week prior to invite him to that party (apparently he was hired to be the party planner)--never heard back from, then I see him there...WTH!  Already a long story, trying to make it short DJ ends up at my apartment on Monday night cooking me dinner accompanied by 2 bud lights. We had great conversation...but I find out from DJ that he has a 3 year old daughter!  I wasn't shocked at all, I wasn't freaking out...I was unbelievably calm and accepting of this "baggage" DJ has.  This is uncharted territory for me, I normally go running for the hills when I find out my "interest" has kid(s). I didn't this time....maturing maybe?


Against my rules, it did get so late that I told DJ he could spend the night...but he would have to be on the couch...so he did sleep on the couch.  This morning he tells me I look beautiful...hmmmmm


So in short: I like this man. This man and I have several similarities. This man has a daughter and I'm okay with that.


Some responses from The Wolfpack:


"As much as I hate to admit it, we’re approaching 30 and think of all the things we’ve been through….and we’re “responsible”. Things happen and as much as I’d rather date a guy without kids, when it comes down to it, I’d rather date a guy who handles his responsibilities (or lack thereof) than a guy who is a dead-beat dad." -AG

"I've dated someone with a child before.  We didn't have baby mama drama per se.  I just felt like his BM (Baby Mama) wasn't very honest and was conniving and it annoyed me.  I am on the fence about dating a man with kids because that could be any of us given the wrong circumstances seeing as how we are sexually active.  On the other hand, having been there, I want my man to be free and in the air with me, not having to have to contemplate kids and BMs into our future.  I guess if I met the right guy I could see myself compromising, if he had everything else I was looking for."-Shante

"Tiff- Out of all of us, you seem to be the best person out of all of us that can handle kids. You have this sort of understanding about kids for some reason. Me, I don’t! I don’t want to talk to anyone that has kids unless God comes down from heaven and hands me the man personally. Lol jk"-AT
