There are actually two differing sleeps that bring us rest. The sleeping sleeping, and the wakeful sleeping… the kind when your eyes are open. You know? Most would probably recognize this better, if I were to say daydreaming instead of sleeping with your eyes open. A very boring prompt title, if you ask me!
My dreaming could derive from my own imagination, or sometimes, from a book I’ve read, or even a really great movie. The point is, when I’m wanting to relax, I like to let my mind wander to wonderful and dreamy places that are devoid of humanities normal nastiness!
Don’t blame me for checking out sometimes, but real life can be truly unfun at times, so what’s a girl gonna do?
Besides, that’s where most of my best cookies come from… and I haven’t heard any complaints so far, so I must be doing something right…
When I read the prompt question this morning, I got all excited as I thought to myself… What a perfect question to answer!
Just yesterday, my friend and I drove over the mountain pass that’s not too far away from where we live. Though I was only a passenger and carpool buddy for my Chica, the view was spectacular and the company was even better! Stick two girls in a car together with snacks, a radio, and a peaceful drive… it has a sort of Willy Wonka Factory effect, if you get my meaning.
I’m so relaxed right now, I can’t even really describe it!
I’m just looking at the evidence! What does the evidence say, you might be asking?
Why, I’d love to answer… thank you for asking!
The evidence shows that I slept like a baby last night. Not only that, but I spent most of my morning just sitting in front of the computer, drinking coffee with my better half…
So I’m feeling pretty amazing, right now!
One might say this resembles relaxing, but I’m no expert.
For today’s prompt question, I’m gonna roll the dice here and say,
“A good scenic drive is the way to let off some steam… but only if you bring a friend, and can see lots of forests and streams!”
When I game, I don’t just game… I spend all my time (in game) collecting every stray animal I can find within that map! Do I pay attention to my team (husband and brother in law)? Nope! While they are off slaying enemies, you will find me searching…
While the guys are sneaking into enemy camps and stealing all their stuff, I am looking for little ones… innocent little creatures that I can rescue (club unconscious) and raise as my own.
As I play a mix of MMORPG games, I have amassed quite a menagerie of virtual pets…
You could even say that I am THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS… and horses, and cats, and wolves, and a Pheonix, and 3 Pegasus, an Elephant, and two Rhinos!
Of my all my virtual companions I have my favorites…
Careful, I have not trimmed his nails this week so if he scratches you, it’s gonna make a mess on my virtual carpets.
Next, there is Oberon and Lady Idris from Ark…
This picture is just an example… mine are darker in color.
These are not my personal pictures in game, but you get the idea…
I personally prefer the Ironbelly Ancient Dragons… you don’t want to know how many I have or how many different breeds I have collected… Let us just say that I have a pretty extensive breeding program in Ark.
Lastly there are my horses…
Oreo is actually a Grey Roan but I just grabbed this picture for an example. I have too many horses you see, and it would be unfair to any one of them if I put another’s picture up for your viewing pleasure.
I built a full stable in both games. While I don’t have a long list of favorites here, I do love my Oreo. Now I know that he looks exactly like two of the others in my stable, but Oreo is my pal. I don’t just feed him vines like the others, no no… He gets only the finest bark available with my Eldarian Pick-axe!
Ok ok… I have thoroughly geeked out right in front of your virtual eyes! But, hey… this is the cheapest and easiest way to relax and I can have as many babies as I want without all the messy clean up and vet bills. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do…
