Couch Potato

Posted by Emma Connell in Storytelling - Chase on
I am in total couch potato mode today. I usually feel guilty when I become a couch potato, but I deserve to be a vegetable today. For the past 4 months I've had no days to really sleep in. Every weekend I have to get up early for work and every week day I have to get up early for school. This morning I woke up at 10:00 am. That is the latest I ever slept in all school year. I thought my max sleep in time was 7:45 but thankfully I was wrong. Loving this spring break. It's all very relaxing and enjoyable.

I know I already posted about them but...

People could learn a lot about family and responsibility from watching these eagles. 

When two bald eagles are attracted to one another and decide to mate, they stay together for the rest of their lives.  That means NO CHEATING!

Around that time, both the mother and father eagle go out and search for the perfect nesting site to lay their eggs.  They bring in more sticks and random fluff to make the nest nice and cozy.

Then, after the mother lays the eggs, the father eagle checks on her frequently and brings her fresh food.  He oftentimes grooms her and makes sure that she is happy.

When she is tired of sitting on the eggs, they switch nest duty.  The father sits on the eggs until mother returns.

After the babies hatch, both mother and father eagle take turns tending to the babies.  They keep the nest very warm by continuing to bring in new sticks, leaves, and animal pelts from their kill.  The babies are fed every two hours when they are young, and the parents continue to switch nest duty every so often.

Sometimes, the mother and father are both in the nest at the same time.  Usually, whoever is sitting on the babies will back up and let the babies poke their heads out so that the other eagle can feed them.  This is an adorable sight!

Because an eagle's nest is so high up in the tree, about 80 feet, storms are pretty harsh.  During heavy storms, the mother and father both spread out their wings to protect the babies from the cold wind and rain.  They keep the babies safe and secure at the very bottom of the nest.

When two people decide to have children, they take on a huge responsibility.  Humans sometimes disregard their duties as gaurdians, thus abandoning their children or neglecting them.  However, the Decorah Bald Eagles have been nesting for a very long time, and they clearly understand what it means to be parents.

Radio

​Fake radio to be precise, i've taken to loading recordings of talk radio from the gta series because on a level it's fairly entertaining to listen to it while doing other things. The events that take place on these programs is much more... unrealistic then what would happen in reality.

i'm weird.

From the moment I started taking notice of boys in like, first grade, I have always been the one to fall in love sooo easily.

I can become so instantly attracted to a guy for any random reason....whether it be because of his looks, his personality, or how nice he was to me on the bus this morning.

I know this is probably a really bad thing, but I just can't help it...

But there's this one guy in particular... <3

It's just the little things that he does that make me sooo damn anxious to see him and talk to him again.  The way he teases me as if we were little kids or the way he acts like he doesn't get jealous when he sees me with another guy.  I like that "tough guy" approach he takes whenever I need his help.  And he's always there to back me up in an argument and take my side.

I like his sarcasm and his crooked smile. :]

It's really hard to explain. :\

Just had to get that out there.





Running

Posted by Emma Connell in Storytelling - Chase on
I ran 4.8 miles yesterday, hiked 4 miles this morning, and plan to run another 4-3 miles later today. I like running. My legs used to bother me a lot when I started student's run. I would always have really bad muscle cramps in my calves and my legs would go numb from pain. Eventually that pain went away and I then got really bad muscle cramps in my thighs and my legs would go numb from all that pain as well. I really didn't enjoy those muscle cramps, but I figured they would go away if I just kept on running. After a month or so of running the pain wouldn't stop and I was starting to get worried and frustrated. I ran 6 miles on Thursday and my legs were REALLY bothering me, but I pushed through. I wasn't in so much pain that it  restricted me from running (thank god). Anyways, after I ran the 6 miles my legs haven't bothered me since.  I no longer get any cramps in my calves or thighs when I run or walk upstairs. It's awesome, and now I can run with really nothing stopping me, that is until I run out of breath. I know explained all the negatives that come with running such as muscle pain but every time I come back from a run I feel great. The endorphins really hit me hard. I also like running because my legs are getting toned and who doesn't want toned legs?
