Lori's Cats: Chester

 

You can't see me, right? I'm not here right now. 

Are the Jedi mind tricks working?

Lori's Cats: Chester

 

Oh Mum! Is it time for a midnight snack?

(Chester kept me company while we stood and watched 

Wendy Davis fight for women's rights)

Lori's Cats: Milly

 

I protect my stuff. Go ahead and try to take this away from me.

I dare you.

Sun sun summer fun...

Woo hoo! Summer is here! (Wait, why am I excited? It's hot out there. OMFG!)

Anyway, my dad rented a boat for his birthday. It was a little speedboat made for the intercoastal or lakes. It's not very big but it gets up to 35 mph. Both my grandfathers had boats back in my childhood so I grew up with sea legs. I can still steer a sailboat but I'm a little scared with speedboats and their power.

Needless to say, we had a ton of fun. We brought sandwiches, tons of water and watermelon. We beached the boat on a beach in the intercoastal where there is a tiny walkway to a gorgeous beach. It's only accessible by boats so it's really quiet annnnnnddd... THERE WERE BABY SEA TURTLE NESTS! :D ZOMG, *is dead from the cute* They had all been helped out for the day so there were just empty eggs and no pics. 

Anyway, I saw the surf and I had to swim. We didn't hang around for very long because the riptide was really bad and the rain was coming. This is a good thing because I didn't think I would be swimming (because eww, who wants to swim in the intercoastal?) and I didn't have to wear sunscreen as a child. Being Native American and Hispanic, if I ever did get sunburnt, it was very mild and turned to a tan. The odd thing is due to so many blonds in the family, my hair turns platinum very quickly.

TL;DR, I got sunburned on a tiny strip of my back. I had been warned that with my lupus meds that I needed to watch my skin these days but this drove it home. I've spent nearly a week dealing with this burn and it wasn't even that bad. It was just a nice healthy pink but it FUCKING HURT. I felt like such a baby while whining about it, especially since my sister had been sunburned a few weeks really badly. She turned purple.

The real advice here is: wear sunscreen.

The funny thing is I listened to this on my drive down to Port St Lucie:

It's true. Wear sunscreen.

Anywho, I'm off on a writing hiatus. What does this mean for this blog? Well, if you came here via LoriToland.com, you'll be seeing a new website soon put together by the very fabulous Lex Valentine. My blog will still be updated here so if you read it through Blogger, have no fear. I'm not going anywhere. I think.

I'll still be around throughout my hiatus. I won't be hibernating with my computer while writing my sexy Italian Stallion Tony Terranova. Oooh, never mind. I do want to run away with him and hibernate. Byyyeeeee!

Wait! I'll be around on Twitter and Facebook and posting of my cat pictures will go on! :D I'll possibly be updating here but my writing hiatus means no new stories for a bit because I'M WRITING! But you'll be happy to know I'm finishing a couple books in two different series, hopefully for release by the end of the year.

TTYS!! :D

Lori's Cats: Babies

Being cordial to each other makes Dad ridiculously happy. 

Mum! Take the picture so I can pounce on my sibling!

Lori's Cats: Milly

Stinky bro just farted. It's making my eyes water.

Lori's Cats: Chester

How can Chester be comfortable like this? It's a mystery to me too.

OMG. Mom is writing those dirty stories again.

Lori's Cats: Chester

Hey Mom! I'm ready for my close up!

Lori's Cats: Milly

Oh, did you need clothes to go outside?

Tough.

Lori's Cats: Chester

 MOOOOOOMMMMM!

Stop taking pictures of me and feed me!

(I had to take this pic because my step-mom pointed out he has a Heart nose like this)

Lori's Cats: Milly

 I'm glad you're back at work, Mom. Your chair was getting cold but I kept it warm for you.

Kitties! Special Chester Story!

So Chester has been especially cuddly to me since I haven't been feeling well. I swear I should just book an appointment with my doctor if Chester gets cuddly, but how can I explain that my cat cuddling me is a sign that I'm sick? Next on Diagnosed by Dr. Cheddar....

Anyway, I was resting and he crawled into bed with me and I had to take some pictures because he got under the covers and cuddled to me...

 

Oh Hai Mum!

Well then, he settled down next to me because every time we put a blanket over him, he can't find his way out. So then I sent this text to Kele Moon...

Well after chatting with Kele, I took the blanket off him but he didn't leave. And no, I didn't call him dumb. He's a lovely, sweet and precious cat.

That little bro of mine, he falls for every trick in the book.

Even the treat trick Mum plays on him works every time. 

*sigh* When will he learn?
