Yes, I am watching Oprah. I may flip between that and Trading Spaces and After that I Will Watch the People's Court......

I got back in Athens last night and boy howdy am I glad. So I took a run and now I am watching the tube. I have had sort of a messed up past few days and I think I am ready to share. On Satruday, myself and two guys I work with stumbeled into Lowe's in Aiken to buy some work supplies. Let me point out now that Lowe's in Aiken doesn't open until 2 pm on Sunday's. This is the bible belt people. We walk in and are strolling around the electrical aisle when this women stops dead in her tracks and stares me up and down for what feels like an eternity. This happens ALOT everywhere we go in AIken. I do a quick check to make sure I don't have anything hangin out of my nose, no shit on my face, and no food in my teeth. I was clean and I knew it. So I turn to my friend James and say "Jesus. What is up with the staring in this town?!?!?" Well, you would have thought I yelled "FFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK" at the top of my lungs because the record screeched to a halt and everyone in the aisle turned and looked at me. I heard the woman turn to her friend and say, "That girl just took the lord's name in vain." You're goddamn right I did lady. No offense meant but stop fucking staring at me!

Last night on the way home from my own personal hell, Aiken, SC, I was following a big SUV down a lovely country road when we came around the corner and I saw a racoon dart across the road. The SUV clipped the racoon with its back tire as I swerved to miss the little guy. I am pretty sure it tore or broke his back leg. It was horrifying and I have been thinking about it all day. upon returning to my house I fell into one of the worst moods that I have been in in a real long time.

Today, the boy and I ran out to Sears to get an oil change. On the way home, we saw a very pregnant dog (some sort of Beagle mix) running on the side of the road near our neighborhood. She was panting very heavy and weaving in and out of traffic. We promptly pulled off the side of the road and called her to us. She was so super sweet and so very pregnant. She came running to us and we got her in the car. We tried to call a couple of the rescues in town and got no response. So we called our vet. Under and other curcumstances we would have kept her but we just cannot have a pregnant dog in our apartment and can't afford the vet bills from having a pregnant dog. So, we took her to the pound. I cried the whole entire way there and the whole way home. The boy, because he is probably the most wonderful person I know, emailed Athens Canine Rescue and they replied saying that they were going to go get the dog if she was not reclaimed and find her a foster home. If any one out there in the blogosphere can foster a total sweetheart of a dog please contact rescue@athenscaninerescue.com.
