When iI was born my grandma said Melinda was to long of a name for such a small baby it stuck. Well I tried to change it in colege but that was a no go cause i would never answer to it so I swent back to Mindy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I have&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;bunch of nicknames&amp;nbsp; first off going up my grandpa called me Winnie and then when my sister was born I was upgraded to Big Winnie and she was Little Winnie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Boyfriend calls me Sweet pea and sometimes he calls me Vern depending on what we are talking about.&lt;br /&gt;then there&amp;nbsp; Min, Minie, Aunt Nindy and my sister used to call me Ninna and my niece used to call me Ninnie and a few friends call me Minders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 19 - something I miss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing that i miss the most is teaching. I have my BS in elementary education, but here in the state of Ohio you need to have to have your masters to have your own classroom and when I graduated in 2000 I was brunt out and I knew that if I went for my masters i would not do as well as I wanted to so after a hand full of other jobs working w preschoolers I started subbing for the city schools here. Well one thong that you all don't know is that I have Cerebral Palsy (Cp) and in 2004 I started receiving SSD and was told that I could only make $125 a month and keep all of my health benefits. Well I was making $75 a day and I couldn't afford to pay my own insurance so I had to quit. I miss the classroom AWFUL wish i could go back maybe some day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4021800209427961873-3959180491630314699?l=minbrenn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/feeds/3959180491630314699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-challenge-days-19-and-20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021800209427961873/posts/default/3959180491630314699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021800209427961873/posts/default/3959180491630314699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-challenge-days-19-and-20.html' title='Blog Challenge Days 19 and 20'/><author><name>Single country gal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ami-cQvwRU0/TXwbmyVDigI/AAAAAAAAAPM/NNguGgfS9rk/s220/0312111212_0001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021800209427961873.post-6193074542469602865</id><published>2010-10-28T12:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-28T12:37:38.257-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='30 day blog challenge day Katies Journey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regrets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='day 17 and 18'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='looking forward'/><title type='text'>Playing catch up.</title><content type='html'>Sorry I didn't blog yesterday about something I'm looking forward to, So today I am going to do both day 17 and 18. I did though pick up the leaves outside it took me a total of 3 1/2 hours&amp;nbsp; but&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;I think that will&amp;nbsp; be the last time that I will have to do that before the white stuff flies for the winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on to the blog challenge over at &lt;a href="http://katieslifejourney.blogspot.com/"&gt;Katie's Journey&lt;/a&gt;. First off Day 17&amp;nbsp; which is something that I am looking forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm looking forward to spending the holidays with family and friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm looking forward to watching my niece's grow older.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm looking forward to making memories with friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm looking forward to loving life to the fullest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm looking forward to living my life for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Now for&amp;nbsp;Day 18- something I regret. This is a hard one for me as the way I am trying to look at things is that everything happens for a reason, so when you are trying to look at things from that perspective it is hard to say that you regret anything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;But if I had to say that I regretted anything it would have to be the 1 1/2 that me and my boyfriend broke up,&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;I feel that maybe I didn't do everything in my power to keep us together, But then&amp;nbsp;again I also feel&amp;nbsp;that we had to break up so that we could find ourselves and we had to do that by ourselves now that we have things are better then they ever were. So as you can see it's hard for me to say that I regret anything.&amp;nbsp;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4021800209427961873-6193074542469602865?l=minbrenn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/feeds/6193074542469602865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/2010/10/playing-catch-up.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021800209427961873/posts/default/6193074542469602865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021800209427961873/posts/default/6193074542469602865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://minbrenn.blogspot.com/2010/10/playing-catch-up.html' title='Playing catch up.'/><author><name>Single country gal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ami-cQvwRU0/TXwbmyVDigI/AAAAAAAAAPM/NNguGgfS9rk/s220/0312111212_0001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021800209427961873.post-4048323206426212057</id><published>2010-10-26T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T11:09:24.918-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='30 day blog challenge day Katies Journey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dream home'/><title type='text'>My dream house- day 16</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0UgkblywTuc/TMcYf8AHh4I/AAAAAAAAAME/t5mNZjzlv9U/s1600/house.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="231" nx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0UgkblywTuc/TMcYf8AHh4I/AAAAAAAAAME/t5mNZjzlv9U/s320/house.htm" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I am so excited about this post,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;have been through so many pictures and plans over the years and this is one of my favorites.

Not doing what I know I am capable of doing, being afraid that if I do what I want I will offend someone or push them away. I don't mean to sound like I'm making this all about me, but I have spent most of my life thinking that because of my circumstances I felt as though I could never do what I really wanted, even though I fully new that I could I was capable though I may not be able to do it the same way has everyone else. I don't want to not do something because I am afraid that I might offend someone because the truth is if it's near and dear to my heart&amp;nbsp; i want to stand up for what I believe in. I have always been the type of person that tries to help anyone in anyway possible and if that meant losing myself in the process.

I became a fly baby and if you are asking yourself what a fly baby is I'll tell you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's away to keep your life and family in order, by during routines it makes life less chaotic&amp;nbsp; and we all know that we all can handle less chaos. The main goal of The fly lady is to make housework fun and establish rou&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;tines&lt;/span&gt; by taking baby steps. I will find out and post a button to link my blog and the fly lady website so that way if you read my blog and think you want to become a fly baby like me you can.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that i would like to start here on bugs, bells and bits is I want to start hosting different kinds of swaps, so check back in the near future to find out the details.
