Clearly, I am not a writer.
Maybe this is how it is meant to be, I only update my blog every 50 or so days. To which I think, holy shit, it’s been 51 days since I last updated? Really?
Summer is in full swing, 100+ weather and all. I am not complaining, I promised myself during the ass-biting cold weather (for Georgia, that is) that I would not complain when summer made me want to get naked and jump in the Chattahoochee (which is gross, by the way). Five sentences into this post and I’m abusing the hell out of parenthesis. I’m VERY clearly not a writer.
So, it’s summer and my son is out of school until early-ish August. For some reason in this area, they make the kids go back to school during the hottest weeks of the year. It’s backward and kind of retarded, but hey, it’s Georgia and I’m not sure I would expect any less from this state. This year, we do not have access to a pool. It is killing me. I am a water baby. I love swimming, I love being in water. I’m ready to buy one of those baby pools and fill it with icy water and just lay in it. I am positive I will not care if I look like a short-bus special. Instead of swimming every day, my son has been riding his bike and skateboard. A few weeks ago he became very interested in skating. I’m one of those annoying moms who like to foster any kind of creativity or interest their children might have (except for, you know, blowing shit up, burning shit down and hurting people). So we bought him a nice skateboard, and he’s been having a blast learning how to use it and do tricks. This is AJ riding N’s skateboard, which weighs about as much as he does.
A couple weekends ago, we went camping at Red Top Mountain (in Cartersville, GA). It was so fun. Well, everything except the sleeping part was fun (crappy sleeping bags). And waking up to a tent roof covered in spiders is also not fun. Thankfully they were on the outside only. My husband and I consumed a lot of beer, I cooked much delicious food over a firepit, AJ and I did some swimming, and N. got to burn things, which he loves a lot. We plan on going again after Independence Day weekend.
I am very close to day 100 in my 365 project. I’m still really enjoying taking pictures every day, for the most part. Some days I lack ideas, other days I am overflowed with ideas. Somehow I manage to get one up a day, and I suppose that’s what matters. I tried to give myself some restrictions (30 days of black and white) and I failed miserably. No restrictions, no themes, just pictures. That is the deal from now on. Below you can enjoy some of my favorites from the last 50 days.

And one more picture, because I am so totally self-centered and want you to see my new hair color. I’ve been lusting hard after pink hair again, so I dyed my hair dark brown and it ended up black and in a couple weeks I am adding big chunks of sexy pink yet again.
Maybe I will update here again before another 50 days is done. I cannot promise anything at all, but I will try. P.S. If you have twitter, perhaps you can find me there.
