Hardcore Farkour

Friday, November 12, 2010
Again, I prove that I never write about things when they actually happen.

Yet another Labor Day Weekend adventure:

Since I was actually able to get off on Labor Day, Josh and I and some friends decided to go hiking. We drove up to Fort Yargo, and it was there that Josh decided to impress me with his new forest sport.

Forgive the poor quality...

 





Farkour, created by Josh on this day, is a special type of parkour done in the forest. He's really good at it.

Dirty Men, Nasty T-shirts, Free Ace Bandages, and my Family

Friday, October 1, 2010
I have ALWAYS been terrible at keeping up with a journal, and apparently, I'm also terrible with keeping up with my blog. I also always end up intending to write about something and not getting to it until a month later- like in the case of these next few posts...

Setting: Atlanta Motor Speedway Labor Day Weekend

Josh honestly had no clue what he was getting himself into when he agreed to go with me to visit my family while they were camping out for the Atlanta race. His first comment as we drove up: "When you said your family was camping at the race, I didn't know they were actually camping AT the racetrack."

My dad goes to the NASCAR race in Atlanta every year, and this year, the race was only a week before my birthday. My parents got me a cake, and since they were only two hours versus the normal 4 hours away, I really wanted to go see them.

Though I know what the crowd is like at the race, I never fully appreciate it until I am in the midst of them. You're not cool unless you have a mullet. Unlike at concerts, EVERYONE wears a shirt for who they are there to see. And everyone LOVES the free samples. We were able to get free post its, a dog hair remover, free knock-off Sham-Wows, and Ace Bandages -- And all from just ONE booth!!

Pepper Extremely Excited to See Us
More than anything that day, more than the birthday cake, free samples, and all the fun people watching, I just really loved getting to see my family. They always make me laugh, and I love being with them!

The Official Submission

Caesar has finally chosen his picture to be entered in the American Express Cutest Pet Photo Contest, and I must say, it looks like a winner.


Casear's Submission

Granted, there are a lot of cute ones here, but I really think he has a chance. Those puppy-dog eyes. That crazy hair. You just can't resist him.

It is Impossible to Avoid Fleas at the Flea Market

Monday, August 16, 2010
Josh and I decided to visit the Pendergrass flea market this past Saturday just to get out of the house. Neither of us knew exactly what to expect. We saw a variety of impressive items for sell. Who knew that there was a whole other kind of lingerie mainly worn by Latina women?!? And who knew that Jesus could look so good as a hologram?!
And do you fear diabetes? Well don't worry because you can still wear socks...
We learned a lot on our trip, but there is one thing that really caught our attention...
 The Schnoodles! This schnoodle particularly. It was so cute--like a teddy bear. Josh has never been so close to letting me get my own puppy! I almost had to talk him out of getting it. But I agree: Caesar is enough for now.

One last thing that cannot go without being mentioned- the old lady selling sugar gliders. First, we had no idea what these things were, so we stopped by her booth. She had one on her shoulder and another in her hand, and as we got closer, she pulled down her built-in-bra tank top to reveal a sugar glider wedged and happy between her breasts.
I bet she would be a cool grandma.

Caesar Tries to do His Part in Contributing to the Family Income

Monday, August 9, 2010
American Express is currently having a Cutest Pet Photo Contest. The prize is a $2000 American Express Gift card. And I'm pretty sure we have a good shot at this one. Any of Caesar's pictures will blow all of the other contestants out of the water--a harder contest would be finding a picture of Caesar that's not cute.
