Lazy Bum in a Hammock

"No! You can never have it!!" I ran until my lungs were on fire and my eyes stinging with sweat. My body doubled over at the first possible pause. My vision was blurry as I scanned the hall. Safe. 
I shrill shriek sliced through the air and reverberated off the metal walls. My chest lurched with panic as I stifled a returning scream. My feet stomped down the walkway with overloaded adrenaline until I stopped before a deadly cliff. I felt my opponent claw at my shoulder for the treasure in my hands. I twisted away from her and felt five claws scrape my neck. I felt her vault me towards the edge, in order to sling me out of the way of her precious. I gripped onto her shoulders violently. She held my weight in a most uncomfortable position so she would not fall as well. I'm no feather, either. She began to claw desperately at my face and chest, not knowing I had expertly slipped the treasure into my pocket!
I-- What was that?? We both stopped, her hands in my hair and my nails indenting her skin. We listened.. 
"RACHEL!! GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED, IT'S QUARTER TILL EIGHT!!" We stared at each other in puzzlement. Suddenly, she released me and I was not aware. I felt my belly reacting to the fall and I looked up. She had my treasure in her hands.
I opened my eyes and saw my mom in the doorway. She had a look of exasperation in her eyes and her pointer finger was on her wrist. I don't know why; she wasn't wearing a watch. My mom ordered my out of the bed and left the doorway empty. I, on the other hand was lost, confused and a little disappointed. One, I had woken up late-- AGAIN. Two, my best friend stole my chocolate.




Anyways, past the drama of eight A.M., nothing all that exciting happened. The cable guys came and hooked up our TV.. That was not all that exhilarating, I admit. 

I went outside after school and watched my puppies. Those blood-thirsty carnivorous beasts almost licked me to death!! haha

Then, because I hadn't done much all day, I went to go do something productive. You know, like lie in the hammocks with your cat for over an hour. Productive stuff like that. Because homework is a BIG waste of time ;D lol jk, Mom!

                              I call this "THE HOUSE OF HAMMOCKSSS"

                                        this is my "lazy bum" buddy, Monk =]


Anyway, that's life in the middle of the jungle.

Sunday Morning, Sun is Shinin'!

What a spectacular morning to wake up to! The sky is a brilliant shade of turquoise, the clouds are fluffy and white and the birds are singing. I didn't wake up until about ten in the morning and I thanked the Lord for my especially dark room. =D I went to check on Facebook, asap, and I decided to catch up on my best friend's vlogs. Even though she hasn't been able to get my blog yet, I thought it only fair that I catch up on hers.
I went in and got an ice cold shower, much to my nerves's dismay, and sensed something.... I wrapped the towel around myself and glanced at the door. Right on cue, my mom popped in my room! "Breakfast is ready." she declared. "I KNEW you would come in!!.... oh! okay, coming!" =]  She made fried potatoes, toast and jam, and some eggs. Not what you normally eat, but that's what happens when it's left-over morning =P haha
Finally dragging myself out of my den, I went outside and took about 4 pictures. My camera then declared herself depleted and without much adeu, turned off for good. So I had to come back in after exactly 9 seconds in the sun. I'm not too depressed.

Here's the view from my back door. Not exactly your average suburban view..

They don't LOOK it, but those rocks are at LEAST 175 degrees--on the surface. I almost fried my finger when I leaned in to get this shot!


Anyway, that's life in the middle of the jungle.

Around the Yard Shots

Yesterday, I wandered around the yard with a camera and took pictures to my heart's content. Some of the shots were blind and some were done by accident. Either way, the results were beautiful!

 

     I hope you enjoyed these shots!
