Frightful Facts Friday!

In honor of Halloween being just a few days away, I'm dedicating today's post to some scary, interesting facts. I hope it's not too scary! Enjoy :)

1) The average human body host over a million parasites. Ew.

2) By Halloween the world's population is predicted to reach 7 billion.

3) Sorority girls are more likely to have body issues and dysfunctional eating disorders than non-sorority girls.

4) If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.

5) Rats multiply so fast that in 18 months, 2 rats can have over 1 million descendents.

6) The soft plastic headphones used on airplanes create a warm, moist environment in the ear canal that is ideal for breeding bacteria. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

7) Homely criminals get 50% longer jail sentences, on average, than good-looking criminals.

8) If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?

9) More people working in advertising died on the job in 1996 than died while working in petroleum refining.

10) You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be eaten by a shark.

October.

I've been very absent from my blog this month :( I'm so sorry. Let me just update y'all a little bit. Jamie has been gone for the past month at PetSmart Grooming Academy. It was about an hour away, so I only got to see her on weekends. As hard as this was, we made it!! She finished this weekend and is finally home. I'm very proud of her and her accomplishment. We've been very busy during the times we've been together and have done nothing but worked other than that. But here's a few pictures of our fun adventures during this past beautiful month.

First, Six Flags w/ Jamie's high school friends!



Atlanta Pride with friends and our host.

A visit with Jamie's family.

Habersham for our friend Chance's little boy, Parker's, 2nd birthday!

So, it's been such a busy, but fun month! I can't believe it's not even over yet. I'll be better about blogging now that Jamie's home from Academy and I'm not driving back and forth every week. Thanks for following our lives!

Finally Fall.

Oh, the joys of cooler weather. Let me just name a few reasons why I love it...

I love hammock time with my puppy.

I enjoy wearing shorts and a light jacket :)

The leaves are beginning to change.

                               

It's the perfect weather to curl up w/ a Starbucks coffee and read a good book.

                                      

Those are just a few things. But sadly, I haven't been able to enjoy much of the weather because it seems like I'm either working or sleeping. So, my goal this week is to take advantage of the best time of year. I'm hoping for more family walks, more books, more pictures, and just more of the beautiful outdoors.
