Month: July 2013

  • I meant to share these few pictures here as well as on my facebook but I somehow never managed to share here.  

    Started the day off with a bunch of donut holes.
    Starting line was crowded but not as bad as I thought it would be until we actually started going then it seemed everyone showed up at once.
    Me by my lonesome excited (I think I might have been on one of those little highs that mental patients experience right before they dip down into depression)
    This next picture is behind us after we started the climb up the bridge.
    I loved that some people dressed up.  
    I have somehow forgotten how to turn pictures so bear with me for a few of these.  There are some great old church buildings in down town Jackson.  I beleive this was the episcipol church.
    I loved the gold reflecting off the mural.
    Me in front of our capitol building.  (I'm trying to limit the stupid looking shots I put on facebook)
    Another Gothic looking church with a bell tower.  Very cool looking.
    A closer look...
    I love it when the sun tries to take over my photos...
    The whole time we were walking I was feeling stupid because I put my numbers on my back.  I sat on them the way to the run then saw everyone with their numbers on their stomaches instead of their backs.  Then when I reviewed my photos I found a bunch of them did the same as me.  So my perspective was to see I was wrong first before thinking I was right...  
    Anyway I made it to the finish line.  It was nothing for me to walk the 3.1 miles of the marathon.  I do 1.7 everyday after working for 7-8 hours on my feet at work.  But it was fun to do it with a splash of color.  So I recommend anyone trying the color run but I also caution you to wear a mask or something over your face because that corn starch and food coloring get into your sinus cavities and want to hold you capitive.  

  • Im grumpy.  

    My credit card bill finally came in.  So now I get to pay for everything at once which means moving savings over into checking accounts and generally messing all my saving up.  But it looks like the bottom is fixing to come out of the storm clouds outside so I'm going to wait at least a day before heading out with that.  I could wait till next week.  
    I had fun while it lasted.  
    I emailed the USM library about wanting to get a copy or a look at my great (times a few) grandmother's journal.  I would really rather not drive 3 hours to do so but if they get back with me telling me they can't do a copy then I guess that's the only way to get it done.  
    I've come to learn about myself that I do not like to drive/travel.  I love looking and imagining those trips though.  But as I have learned from the last few years the actual trips leave me sick and grumpy (90 percent of the time).  
    My cousin is actually in London right now.  I'm very excited to see her travels and her pictures.  She's sharing them in a travel journal online.  It makes me want to go there.  Maybe one day?  Where's the money?  Where's the time?  Wheres the I'm going to be healthy and handle the travel well?  And in her case where's the airconditioning cause she said where they are staying there is none and it's experiencing a heat wave.  Can't be as bad as here in July...
    I'm threw boring you all now.  Still no idea if we are going to make the xanga 2.0 yet?  I've given all I can so it's up to some other people now.

  • Evidentially my sinus gunk I've been dealing with has affected my glands. Yippee :(
    So I'm going back to drinking more water to get over it. Seems like I'm always getting some weird ailment lately.
    They should let you know that your 30s are when your body decides to screw up.

    I now have 16 pages of my family tree written in hard copy form. I'm not so enthusiastic to do more because each sheet holds 4 generations and the next set would be 16 pages for both sides so I'm not too enthused on getting confused with that. *grumble*

  • Really uncomfortable situation:

    Getting asked by your dad to get porn off Netflix because he didn't like it. :-/

    Seriously...

  • It took half the day but I finally started feeling good. Didn't do much today. I did use a gift card my brother got me two months ago for my birthday. So lots of music, DVDs, and a book coming (to go along with the stuff I got from goodwill earlier in the week).
    Had pizza for dinner too.

  • I hate knowing there's something wrong with my Dad and not being able to help him.
    It's not some huge sign saying anything in particular but I can tell from all the little signs that something's wrong.
    I went on my walk tonight came back and he's already gone to bed.
    I hate worrying. And yet it seems that's all I do now.
    My vacation was ok. There has been some really fun moments and some crappy moments.
    Being a guest in someone's house sucks if something's aren't included. Necessities like toilet paper and towels.
    I also got sick which is pretty normal for me and travel. Ever met someone who loves to travel and yet gets sick every time they go anywhere? Meet me!
    So all that got cleared up and I did my run. Ate lots of yummy food and hung out with friends.
    Came back early. I didn't get to all my destinations but I don't care.
    I cooked dinner tonight. It turned out kind of bland. Hamburger steak cooked in the crock pot with carrots and onions. Some green beans and brown rice with some French bread. Topped mine off with some apple crisp pie. Yum.
    That's about it now.

  • I'm glad to be back home. I admit to getting pretty pissy at times when I don't get enough sleep and the past few days I've been that way.
    Still have body aches and headache and could use a bit more sleep on top of it.

  • I had a lot of fun this morning at the color run. Problem is I'm having serious insomniac issues and slept 5 hours the day before yesturday and 3 1/2 last night. I managed to crash for about 30 minutes earlier but basically have been spending the down time during my friends and I nap time laying in bed NOT sleeping.
    Ill have to post pictures in a few days. My phone was locked in the car and I only used my camera so no photos until I'm at a computer.
    Tonight we are headed to a French restraunt (never had French before).
    I'm feeling pretty miserable from no sleep though. Definitely taking a Xanax tonight just for some shut eye.
    Might be headed home tomorrow. Not feeling like driving to the coast or Hattiesburg.

  • It's probably just the stress of everything today but I'm a bit sad. Got to get up early tomorrow and the most sleep I can get is about 7 hrs and I worked on fumes today.
    Feeling lonely
    Expectations high
    Strength weak

  • the day before!

    I'm excited.  Just got off work not to long ago and have got my bags packed and in the car ready to go.  I just have to remember to take my book, camera (it's charging now), and phone charger with me when I leave the house tomorrow morning to go to work.  

    I'll be leaving after work IMMEDIATELY!  3 and a half hours to Jackson so I can pick up my packet of stuff for the run on Saturday.  Hopefully all will go well and smoothly and I won't get delayed and the car will work right and God will be with me and nothing will happen and I won't get a ticket and etc etc etc

    So ready for this vacation but the prep for it has been hectic.  My mind has been flip flopping all over the place!  

    Another happy Nat Geo has received my DNA and are "processing" so I am 20 percent done in waiting...  :-/  I have 80 percent more to wait.
