Fearing for my life + Wed Links

Last week Wed I heard gunshots in my normally quiet neighborhood. I live in the country parts of Atlanta so hearing gunshots out here is unheard of this isn’t the hood and it ain’t the wild wild west. Here is how it all went down and how a lady had me fearing for my life.

Fearing for my life

I normally nap in the daytime so I’m sleeping and around 11 am I hear gunshots. Now I was thinking it was all a dream I use to read word up magazines…wait off subject. So I am settling back down to go back to sleep until my alarm goes off at 12:15

5 Mins later…boom boom boom

I roll my fat ass from the couch to the floor and I start checking to see if I’m hit because it sounded that close. I’m good so I crawl to the window. Peep out nothing so now I’m crawling to get to higher ground. I get about halfway up my stairs…boom boom boom

Eff this crawling shat it’s time to run. I make it up the stairs and by now my neighbors are all coming out of their homes to see what is happening. My older neighbor has a samurai sword….(say what now) the other neighbor has a shotgun. Here is the convo

Older neighbor: Is everyone ok? Where did the shots come from

Shotgun neighbor: We need to see if someone was shot in the woods I’m going in.

My house backs up to woods but I was like dang dude you just gonna go in the woods. The other half of my brain was like dang dude that’s sexy a man running to the danger. I need me one of them. Anywhoo…

By this time I gotta get dressed because I have a photoshoot downtown Atlanta and I’m already running late. So I get dressed and make my way downstairs to the backyard because I’m nosy. By the time I get to the backyard there is a lady coming out of the woods she lives two doors down…she is walking all casual

The lady: Oh hi everyone (by now it’s about 5 of us in the backyard because all of our houses are clustered together) I’m so sorry for alarming you all I was dumping something in the woods and saw a snake so I shot at it.

Me: 20+ odd times? Seriously

This lady had me rolling, ducking and crawling around while she shoots a snake. I wanted to ask was it a baby snake or something else. I didn’t realize I said it out loud

The lady: Oh it was a medium black snake I didn’t get him.

I turn around and leave cause y’all. Good thing though I know snakes are running around so now it’s time to get some lime around the house. Gotta find the good in everything!

Wed Links

Next time I go on a major vacation I’m hiring a photographer because I need to be in the picture.

I’m not rich but this is interesting about poor people vs. rich people.

I might do this for my bedroom. It’s so much better than me hammering the wall with picture frames.

Your gift will make room for you…..period!

I think a lot of people go through this type of depression.

Love this breakdown of Avengers quotes. Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the movie!

A great way for up and coming college freshmen to spend their summer is to create a bucket list just for them.

I don’t know if I can do a whole weekend without internet. Can you?

    Holy cow! She’s a bad shot! Take her gun away! LOL Glad all is alright though. My house backs to woods and sometimes I hear shots fired so I usually grab my Smith & Wesson and head on out to see who needs to be shot! LOL

    All that for a snake? Ridiculous! Plus, the snake is in its natural habitat, how would she like it if someone came to her home and shot at her?

    As you can see I’m a animal lover.
