Loathing:
Shin Splints- That's what running does for ya. I've been doing a C25K program for a little over a week now. I finally bought some proper running shoes yesterday though so I think that's going to make a HUGE difference.
People who stare. I just colored my hair with Feria's Chocolate Cherry Hair color. It's a VERY bright red/purple/blackish color. Especially in the sun. I freaking LOVE it. Other people...not so much. Let's see what they think when I get my tattoo and my nose pierced in September..HA!!
The fact that there is still at least 5 more weeks until school starts. This summer has seemed LONG.
Loving:
My new body that is being unveiled a little more every day. I'm REALLY starting to LOVE what I'm seeing. (Bart is too.. ;-) )
My brand new Nike Shox Navina+2 Running Shoes. These are by far the MOST EXPENSIVE shoes I have ever purchased...AND the most divine on my feet.
My new Hair. Yes the blackish, reddish, purple look really suits me. I've always been a bit of a freak. It's not like I have to go get a job or anything...LOL. You can't really see the purple in the pic because the sun wasn't shining on it enough but trust me it's there..and it's AWESOME!!
My new Treo 800W- There isnt much this phone can't do. It's a damn sexy phone.
I'm tired all the time. I wake up tired and I go to bed exhausted. I fight to stay awake at my job in the afternoons and if I ever sit on the couch for more than fifteen minutes I find myself dozing off.
I eat semi-healthy.
I take daily vitamins and supplements.
I average eight hours a sleep a night.
Caffeine is kept to a minimum (one cup flavored coffee and maybe one soda a day).
And I'm still tired. On weekends if there isn't a reason to get up in the morning I find myself sleeping until 10 or even noon. Even on days I sleep until noon I go to bed at 10 and fall asleep right away.
It seems that the more time passes the more tired I get and I have no energy.
I have trouble concentrating and staying on task.
I am so easily distracted.
I lose my train of thought.
I am easily irritated.
This has been building all summer and I'm just tired of being tired.
And I know there was more I wanted to share in this post but I've forgotten what it was.
~sigh~
Not sure why, but i really enjoy this stuff.
Off to read and sleep. Nite Nite Peace & love Georgia & Annie

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.
This is a simple, but sad, question. I miss going to my grandmother's house on the corner near her big woods. I miss being there with her, watching the sun rise, listening to the owl hoot to each other through the night, playing with the kittens that roamed freely around the yard, and especially just being in her comforting presence.
This morning we are outside wandering around showing off our cool property to Sue, our real estate lady. It is the hottest day of the year and the yard is crunchy it is so dry. I happen to look toward the muscadine vines and I see this HUGE snake skin laying in my yard. I gasp loudly and hide behind Jordan ('cause I'm brave like that.)
Chris is all: "Ooohhhh and ahhhh."
Sue is "I'm so glad you saw it, because if I had I would have had a heart attack."
Jordan is laughing at me.
I'm standing there like an idiot saying: "But, I declared this a snake free zone!!"
Chris picks the skin up and it is really big....then we notice that part of the skin broke off down in the hole the snake went into. Yay. There is a huge @ss damn snake living in the ground between the house and the muscadines and blueberries. I'm freaking out and can not stop myself from scanning the brown crunchy grass for a huge snake.
Chris is all: "It's under ground keeping cool"
I'm all: "It could be hiding in the muscadines keeping cool and looking for something to eat."
Chris is all: "You don't know anything about snakes."
I shut up (Not because he's right, but because I'm not going to argue with him about snakes in front of Sue.)
Jordan is trying to get Baron to sniff the skin, play with the skin, or something....Baron took one whiff and proceeded to tuck tail and try to run. (Smart dog)
After Sue leaves I grab the camera and go to take some pictures....because I really and truly am trying to get over this phobia.
This snake is at least four feet long...I know this because Jordan is almost five feet and there was several inches of skin left down in the hole.
