Facts about Water

You know its important....but just how important is it? I found this to be VERY interesting.

• Research tells us that drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day can significantly reduce pain for almost 80% of people who suffer from back and joint pain. 
• 75% of all Americans are chronically dehydrated
• A mere 2%drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 
• In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanisim is so weak that it's often mistaken for hunger
• One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters in a University of Washington research project.
• Even mild dehydration will slow down ones metabolisim as much as 3%
• Drinking just 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%. One is also 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Isn't that so cool?!

Saturday Andrew and I went to hang out with Dell, Dem, Jarred, Stephen, Josh, Anna, Daniel and Rachael. Hahaha....fun times. First we went to the coffee shop (and I found out that I shouldn't drink coffee past 3:00pm) with Dell, Demory, Steve and Josh and then we went to Market St. where we met up with the E's. We walked up and down popping into random stores, buying pizza randomly and just acting weird. After Daniel and Stephen tried to scare us by moving the van to a different spot in the parking garage so we wouldn't find it, (they didn't have us fooled for a sec), we went back to the C's house, changed, then headed out to play volleyball. I haven't played that in years but it was really fun actually. Then after nearly dying of hunger we ate spagehetti at 8:30. Then we realized that it was way past the time when we were supposed to go to the drive-in theater to watch Dark Knight (I suppose you don't want another review on that do you sherlock? lol). So we changed into pj's, grabbed blankets and money and ran out the door and speeded to the drive-in. After several wrong turns made by the driver of the car I was in, we made it just in time. Dark Knight was very good. I liked it. Even though we all froze watching it. (we could see our breath! how un-cool is that!?!?!?! We did see some shooting stars though, that was cool). Then after Josh ran over Stephens foot when he turned the car on, we went back to the C's. Well, Andrew, me, Josh, Dem, and Dell did. Then we stayed up WAY to late just talking in the living room about this book Josh wants to write, college, weird Air force moments (Josh is in the air force) and other things till we went to bed at 4:00am (I know, we are REALLY bad). And then the mattress I was sleeping on you could feel the springs right through it, and then my coffee that I had earlier...I didn't sleep that much. lol

We woke up, cleaned, and then had church. After that we went and played more V-ball. 

We start school tomorrow. 

Darn

lol

Have an awesome, blessed week everyone.....  

My cousins in Tallahassee caught this when Fay overflowed the banks of the little pond/lakeish thing they live across the road from. They caught it with a net and it only took a 1/2 an hour! It weighs in at 25 lbs!!!!! When we went deep sea fishing for a whole day we didn't catch anything!! Not fair!!!!! Hahahaha....
