Stillhouse Hollow falls

My family took advantage of the fact that all of us had labor day off and went on a hike I'd read about in my internet wanderings!

 On the way back, we skipped to trail and just hiked upstream, it was pretty awesome!

 Doesn't this look like a tree star?

This was just off the path, a little way from the base of the waterfall, I love finding ruins like this! 

 Not exactly deep, the internet said this was one of the best swimming holes in the country.....hmm, for hobbits maybe! ;-)

I'm trying to decide if I want to slide across the mud on my hands and knees to get further behind the waterfall! I didn't by the way, I would like to keep the trend of no broken bones! =)

Look, water!!!

I Failed the Photo Challenge.....

.....or did I? 

The goal wasn't necessarily to finish, but just to start blogging more, which I did, so while I failed at the specific challenge, I achieved my over all goal....at least that's what I'm telling myself, so I don't feel so bad about completely dropping the ball! =)

~Random Updates~

~Staff meetings are as fun as I always thought they'd be.....at least I got paid for the extra time!

~In spite of the staff meetings, (along with a few other annoyances.....) I really am enjoying my job!

~Clark (my car, in case you didn't know) scared me by attempting to die, but thanks to the mechanics and my amazing dad carpooling with me and my crazy ever changing work schedule, my the car is fixed and I always got to work! 

~The fall bug has bit me hard, I've been doing back to school at work for 3 weeks now and I'm drinking pumpkin and caramel apple themed drinks from Buckhead. So I wish the temp would stop reaching into the 90's, accompanied by "air you can wear" as one weather man referred to the humidity!

~I'm thinking of doing this to my hair again.....

.....as I have to wear it up all the time, it just gets in the way when I work and I get headaches when I wear my hair up everyday.....any thoughts?

Day Twenty-One

~Summer Time~

As you already know I went to visit my sister this week end, I had a fantastic time and Megan and Buggy got to come back and stay with us the rest of us for the week! Here are some pics from a great summer weekend!

 TinkerBell (my sisters cat) loves cereal milk, she stalked me until I let her drink some!

But Mom, I know I can fit two in there, see? ;-) 

Found this lovely little confection at World Market, haven't had it since Bend and may have bought two bars..... hey, the whole family loved it, I would have been in trouble had I not brought any back!

Their yard is full of these tiny little frogs, I hate to think of stepping on them, but you don't really notice the unless they're moving!

Selfies in the Starbucks line! 

Taken after an hour detour and before discovering all of the exits to the interstate I needed to get on were CLOSED and the crossing my fingers driving though downtown Birmingham!

Day Fifteen

~Green~

A little peek into our yard!

Just a heads up, you won't be seeing me for a few days as this lucky gal is spending the weekend down in Alabama with her sister! I was going to set up scheduled posts, but a surprise 2 hour visit to a walk in clinic to get a medical release for work filled out, I kind of ran out of time, it was blog or pack and I decided to pack! 

I'll see all you lovely gals on Monday!

Day 13

~A Bad Habit~

 Ahem.....let's just pretend that the last two days, in which I failed to post, were illustrating today's post about a bad habit of mine!!! ;-)

Day Ten

~What I Wore~

(AKA the more important thing is what I didn't have to wear!!! Yeah for not having to wear a polyester polo or shoes except when I go outside!)

 Dress: Wal-Mart, Cowboy boots (not worn, of course!) Wal-Mart

 Bee necklace: Little gift shop attached to Buckhead, bought today and worn immediately because it was so darn cute!
