Straight Hair
I went to get my hair cut today and decided to let her fix it straight because I’d never seen it fixed that way before. Wow! It looks a lot different, but I like it. Too bad I’m too lazy to fix it this way. LOL.

Suckage
We’re leaving today to go on our honeymoon. This is wonderful. What is NOT wonderful is the fact that I’m sick now. Some sort of cold or something - I really don’t know. All I know is that I feel like shit. Also, I’m not supposed to start my period until the middle of next week, but I feel like it’s going to start within the next day or two. JOY.
Okay, TMI, maybe. But I’m pissed and irritated and feel like shit.
But I’m going, and I’m having a good time, regardless.

Goin’ on a Trip!
Jake and I are leaving tomorrow for our long-awaited and much-anticipated honeymoon! YAY!
After I get off work tomorrow, we’ll be leaving to drive up to Buford, GA to see 300: The IMAX Experience. w00t!!!! After the movie, we’ll drive over to Roswell, GA to spend the night and sleep late for the first morning. After coffee and breakfast and maybe lunch, we’re going to go shopping at Harry’s Farmers Market to pick up the groceries we’ll need for our stay. (We love Alton Brown, and he shops at the Harry’s in Marietta all the time, so we’ve been wanting to visit one and get some good stuff.) After we have procured the essential food stuffs, we will wend our way further north to Helen, GA where we will spend the next 5 days and 4 nights in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by beauty and quiet child-free work-free bliss. We will hot tub. We will cook. We will eat. We will play pool and air hockey. We will have lots and lots of sex. We will build a fire. And we will watch DVDs. WE WILL RELAX!
Monday will be the “touristy” part of our trip, as we’re going to visit Anna Ruby Falls that morning then mosey around downtown Helen that afternoon, finishing the day with a dining-out experience (I hope) will not soon be forgotten. We’re not sure yet where we’ll be eating, but I’m betting on a German or Bavarian place — hopefully something nice. We might also try to find some time and a place to do some fishing. Not sure about that yet, though.
Check out is Wednesday morning. I’m not gonna want to come home; I know it already!
But, anyway - here we go!!!

Wisteria Woes
I MISSED IT AGAIN!!! ARGH!!
There was still some wisteria there on the barn roof and walls, but it was all dried up and ugly looking. *big sigh* I should’ve gone last Saturday like I originally planned. I guess that patch of wisteria died faster than others because it was on a tin roof and got hotter? Dunno. But it sucks I missed it again.

Do People Really Fall for this Shit??
Nice spam! I just had to read this one:
Dear Beloved in Christ.
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth,
I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & is Mercies and
glory upon my life.
I am Madam Catherine David, the wife of Engineer Silas David, my husband
worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Jordan for twenty years before he died
in the year 2005.We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his
death we both got born-again and dedicated christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of US$7.5 Million.(Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficairy of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will
be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come over.
Presently,I’m in a hospital in Jordan where I have been undergoing
treatment for esophageal cancer.I have since lost my ability to talk and
my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my
last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere
in the World.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my
wealth since my illness,I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this
huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the
beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.I want a person that is
God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I
took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband’s relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my
husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I know that I
am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. {Exodus14 VS14}says that the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of
my husband’s relatives around me always.I don’t want them to know about
this development.
With God all things are possible.
If you are interested in help me fullfill this dream, you can email to my
personal email: mrs_catherinedavid02@yahoo.dk
Your Sister in Christ,
Madam Catherine David
