Queen of My Jungle (365 Day 19)

Today started out rough. I woke up at 6am in pain. I puttered about the internet until about 10:30. Then I took a nice nap.

When I woke up I called my friend Erin Marie. She came over and we had a really fun shoot in the backyard. She is such a doll. I hearts her. We giggled so much during out shoot. In between sets we laid on the ground and watched the clouds. Such a lovely time.

I spent the evening hanging out with friends. Also a nice time. After the awful false start, I had a really nice day.

I love this image. Doing these self portraits has given me much more of an appreciation for my little backyard. I love the fence in the back. I love the color of the wood. I love that the fence is a little crooked. I love the vines that grow on it. I love that every day the vines have grown more leaves. I really love that my dad has not yet been able to get my brother to do any yard work. The overgrown grass makes me really happy. I will be very sad when it gets mowed. I love my little jungle of grass, dandelions, and other weeds. It's really cool to watch mother nature take over.

As I'm sure you could guess by the image, I also love these shoes. My dad bought them for me the day that I was pmsing really bad. I had called him to apologize for blowing up at him. I told him how batty I was due to the crazy female hormones. He asked if I should take some tylenol. "No, Dad. I'm not in pain. I'm pmsing" He asked if there was anything I could take for it. "No, Dad. Most girls eat chocolate and I hate chocolate. There is nothing I can take." "Would purple sneakers help?" *blink* "Aww. Yeah. That might help." (Apparently he was at wallmart at the time and passed some purple shoes.) I am obsessed with purple and I really did need new sneakers. I love my dad. He's the best.
