The Seven Deadly Sins and their combinations

I went 4-wheeling in Pikeville. It was so relaxing.

I got my name in lights with notcelebrity.co.uk

It's kind of like "it's not a zoo, it's a menagerie"

Things I hate but could possibly like... or not!!

So, frogs completely freak me out. I don't know if it's the jumping thing or the slimy, wet, green skin, but they just give me the willies. I thought a black and hot pink frog might change my mind, but I think I would trip even more if I saw this bad boy jumping at me. Hey, it does have some really cool markings though. It's an Atelopus frog and the markings are actually purple, but in the pic they look kind of pink. Yuck!!!

Umm... Curved Yellow Fruit!! I wonder if it is some kind of distant cousin to the banana?!?!?

I gotta get me one of these!!

Check out this pink dolphin. OK, it's actually an albino dolphin and very rare, but hey-it's pink and we all know what a slut I am for pink stuff!!

Check it out guys... Hand Soap!!!

You tell people that you're an executive at your company. You think that your repeated references to being "addicted" to caffeine make you seem intriguing and dangerous. People think you're a sucker because you spend 60% of your annual income at Starbucks. Everyone who drinks Venti Toffee Nut Frappacino ends up addicted to crack.

I had a teacher in school who always used to tell me that "No question is stupid if you don't know the answer," but this sign would really make me think twice before calling with some stupid question. Here's some doozies:

Spiderman's Exercise Guide

The Reader

I absolutely love this picture. It's such a pure visual of childhood literacy. I am a strong believer in the magic of books and have been reading for what seems like forever. First is was the cheesy "Easy Reader" books in 1st grade, but that soon went to "Babysitter's Club" and the "Ramona" books and then on to more serious works. I am all for reading and really wish that schools today would do more to encourage the students to pick up a book. Not only is it entertaining, but it is also very informative and encourages learning.

My new tat

Shane and me at the bar

Weirdness at the bar...

So we're at Ms. Debbie's tonight and some blonde at the bar just bought Shane and me a beer. Kinda strange...

Patches

Meet Patches, the new guinea pig we got. Shane picked him out and named him. Ain't he cute?

Our family is growing!

I am getting a new guinea pig tonight!! I will post pictures tonight when I get home.

Nugget is so anti-social... or maybe he's just a homebody!!!

Shane's on You Tube!!!

Shane actually agreed to let me put him up on You Tube. I finally got a video uploaded last night. He's singing Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" and you should really see that boy shake his little tush!!! Anyways, if you head to You Tube, search for "Shane Does Debbie's" and you will be pleasantly surprised!! Let me know what you think!!

Pretty Butterfly at the cemetary

I am learning to mow today and we saw this butterfly. I think Shane killed it. It was still flapping when we got this picture.

Quack Quack Railroad Track

This track is on Highway 111 on the way up to the Dayton/Dunlap split. I thought it was really pretty and we even saw a train go by. Toot toot!!

I'm a Simpson!!!

So, I went to the Simpsonizeme.com website today. It is pretty cool. I had tried to get in to do it about a month ago, but the site was so jammed. Anyways, I finally got on. I used the picture on the left for what I guess was the "model" of my character. I chose "Lisa Simpson Yellow" for my skin color, and think that this is actually a pretty cool thing. They did not have an option to give my blue eyes, but I got to pick out what I was wearing (and you know I HAD to choose pink!!). So, here's 1. a close-up of my Simpson face, 2. my Simpson body, and 3. My Simpson likeness in front of the Kwik-E-Mart. Pretty cool, huh?

Karaoke Night

Shane and me at Ms. Debbie's

Yeah baby, Super Mario Brothers rocks!!

Pardon me while I vent.

So, it's Tuesday and already I am ready for the weekend. I don't know what it is about this week, but each day seems to just drag on and on and on. Both yesterday and today I had trouble getting out of bed, been groggy all day long, and you know I did not do my morning exercises. Every little thing has been putting me in a tizzy (from work issues to personal... nothing seems to be going my way). I keep thinking if I just go to bed early I'll be fine, but that does not seem to be the case. I go to bed early, then sleep late anyways. Geez... this is really pissing me off!!!!!

She's Back!!! Fuzzy popped up by our sofa (and freaked me out). I guess she was hungry!

Hamster Alert!!!

We just got back from our roadtrip and Fuzzy, our hamster, is missing. I totally thought they were past that stage!!!

The Tallulah Falls Gorge in Georgia

Shane and I cruised through Fort Mountain State Park. We saw this gorgeous view.

Late Start

There is nothing I hate worse than waking up late on a work day. Today, I did just that. I woke up and it was almost 9:30. I am supposed to be at work at 9:15. Tripping out, I frantically went about my morning routine, rushing to get dressed and pack a few sodas for work. The worst part of it all is that no matter how good my day is, it will totally be overshadowed by the fact that I came in to work late. I hate days like this!!

In other news, Shane and I went out last night for a little bit. Rudie, the dude who lied to us about our friend Charlie's death actually had the balls to show his face. He grinned and went to hug me when I walked in. I walked right past him. The gall of some people!! Anyways, we cut is a little short last night and headed home. I cannot believe that!!

It's not the woman who dies with the most pairs of shoes who garners the prize; it's the one who has the most fun dancing in them.

Charlotte, Kevin, and Jessica (my sisters and my brother-in-law) at my cousin Rachel's baby's first birthday party

This is our new guinea pig, Nugget. I got him at Petco today for free! Someone dropped him off and they needed a home for him. Shane was not too keen on the idea but I got him anyways. Dylan thinks he's just great. Isn't he just precious?

Don't ya just love family???

So, I told my mom something last week and she told me that I should not tell my grandmother about it. I was not even planning on telling my mom, but the words came out before I could stop them (terrible case of word vomit!!). I talked to her last night, and found out that she told my grandmother. I was so angry. I went off and started yelling at her because she had no right to even do such a thing. That was my news, not hers. Does blood relation give people the right to mess in other people's business?? Good God... use some common sense. Personal information should remain personal. But then again, I guess it was all my fault because I told her in the first place. Puh-leez!!!

Dear God... this PT Cruiser has a hand sticking out of the back hatch. It scared the begeezus out of me (OK, so maybe I can't spell that word, but you know what I mean!!). It's fake, but hey... for a minute I thought the Sopranos had moved to town!!

Market Street Bridge

This is the Market Street Bridge here in Chattanooga. I always knew that it raised. but had never actually seen it. The bridge has been closed for renovation and is set to reopen on August 4. I just thought it was cool.

Soapbox Warning

So, there is nothing I hate more that people who are two-faced, indifferent, or just plain fake. I am so blessed to have a few of them... OK, maybe blessed is not the appropriate word, but didn't you not the sarcasm!! Anyways, you know who I'm talking about: those people who NEVER call then either A. call when they need something or B. when you finally talk to them, they apologize for not calling (when you know they don't give a happy damn!!).

I have no use for these people at all. They are usually so caught up in themselves and really don't care about anyone or anything that does not get them exactly what they want. They really piss me off. I don't need your so-called "friendship" nor do I need any of the pitiful and lame excuses. Geez... get over yourself already. You're really not that great.

Bethany, Amber, and Barbie at the Big Chill

I knew it!!

Lindsay Lohan got arrested today for DUI and possession of cocaine. I had hoped for the best for her, but I guess my suspicions were dead on, huh?? It's all so sad.

So Tragic

What has happened to Britney?? I mean, I've never been a fan of hers or anything, but geez... Girl needs to get a clue. I've read all sorts of shit about her firing her manager, firing her publicist, feuding with her mom, and the list goes on. She is losing more of her credibility each and every day and the girl don't even seem to care!!!

People look up to her. Hell, my sister was one of her biggest fans when she first came out (we're talking posters, playing the music loudly, and dressing the part). There are all sorts of people who are needing a role model, and this is what they are getting. She used to be cute. She used to be able to work it. She used to have it, but somewhere she lost it and now looks like a trainwreck. And, it's not just Britney, it's pretty much all the young starlets: Paris, Lindsey (I know she went to rehab, but only time will tell), Hayden, etc. Externally they are fine, but they are living a self-destructive lifestyle.

We see pictures of them drinking, acting crazy, smoking (and not always cigarettes), and the kids of America are sitting there thinking that it's alright to go and do that stuff. Does Hollywood not have the same laws as Tennessee?? The things these kids do is completely wrong (and sometimes illegal) and it is shown over and over again in the gossip sites and the tabloid rags. I guess the legal drinking age in California is whenever you shoot your first movie, tv show, photo spread, etc. Oh, yeah, and drugs are legal too, but only if you're famous. Wait, that does not work. Look at Robert Downey Jr. Maybe it's legal as long as the cops don't see you.

OK, I'll get off my soapbox. It's not like I can really do anything about it. I have my opinions, and that's what they are. Take it or leave it. It won't hurt me at all.
