Hating The Humidity

Ugh. I have ever told you I totally hate humidity? I really do, and right now it’s so humid I feel like every hair on my body is plastered down with butter. It’s disgusting! To make matters worse my face looks like a pizza with double pepperonis. I’m seriously broken out, and I blame the humidity and all this constant sweat and goo. I feel like I should be taking a shower every 10 minutes. It doesn’t matter if I take a shower. I feel like I need another one as soon as I put my clothes back on. I feel like I should invest in acne products stock and then walk around naked until winter gets here!

To Pierce Or Not To Pierce

My best friend is begging me to get my nose pierced. My little cousin just got her belly button pierced, and she keeps telling me how badly she thinks I need to get mine done. No thanks. I like body jewelry, but it’s just not for me. I do like buying various pieces as presents for them, but I can’t imagine getting any piercings other than my ears.

Hi, I’m 26 years old, and I don’t even have my ears pierced. Yep, you heard me right. It isn’t what you think. I’m not afraid of needles or anything. I just never wanted my ears pierced. I mean, I did when I was younger but my mom has a strict rule. No piercing our ears until we were adults. She firmly believes God would have put holes in our ears if he wanted them there, and she wasn’t about to give us permission to do so.

Of course I could have done what my sister did. I could have bought a home kit and pierced my own ears in the bathroom at school, but that just wasn’t me. I patiently waited it out, and I fully intended to pierce my ears on my 18th birthday. When my birthday rolled around I changed my mind. I decided I’d lived 18 years without them, so I just didn’t need to get them pierced.

I’m slowly starting to change my mind though. I’ve been considering taking that leap into joining the massive population of people without full lobes intact. I’ve seen too many super cute earrings lately that I would love to wear. Sure, I could just convert them to clip-ons like I’ve done many times, but I suddenly have the urge to go for the piercing.

Suzuki Superbike Showdown

I’ve been kind of bummed out lately because I haven’t been able to spend much time with my friends. Normally in the summer we all spend our free time out on the bikes, but since our bike is still in repair mode our friends are out hanging out and riding without us. It’s a bummer especially when I throw in how crappy I feel that our entire riding season is almost over.

My friend told me about something this morning though that makes me feel a lot better. She invited us to go to Road Atlanta next weekend for the Suzuki Superbike Showdown. Not only can I get my bike fix, but I can hang out with my friends. She’s getting a box, too, so I don’t have to worry about taking my acne treatment cream with me. If I was sitting outside in the sun all weekend my face wreak havoc on me.

Off To The Beach

I’m so glad I finally booked our vacation for our anniversary. Going to the beach for 4 days will really help me with all this stress I think. It’ll be nice, quiet, and relaxing. We’ll be going to Edisto Island, and we’ll have a nice quiet little beach house.

I’ve been trying to make a list of things I need to buy before we go and things we need to take with us. Hubby wants to take his golf clubs so he can possibly hit the golf course down there on the island, but I’ll have to see if I can get him a few replacement clubs. His clubs are pretty old and beat up…they were his dad’s old ones. I might have to see what Callaway golf clubs I could afford for him. Even if I could just get him 1 new driver I think it’d be worth it.

For me, I’m just taking the basics…a few nice books to read and my camera. My idea of the perfect vacation is sitting on the beach reading and enjoying my surroundings.  I thought about taking my laptop, but then I decided against it.  It’s been a long time since I had a weekend away from the computer, and I think I might just need that.  If I decided I want to quickly blog about something I can just as easily use my cell phone.  Other than that I’d have no real reason why I’d even need my computer.  Any pictures I take I can share when we get back.

Now, September 20th just needs to hurry up and get here so we can celebrate our anniversary at the beautiful beach!
