Raven challenge 95

Today I face another Raven's Challenge.


This week's words were:
alternate reality, shadows, frantic, tomatoes, field, lilies, DVD,snow mobile, aggravation, music
And for the mini: grounds for divorce, pink panther, salutations, wavering, lasagne

Ten word:

Sandy Shore was
frantic seeing shadows of creatures from the alternate reality world of no sound trying to steal the medallion from her. She did not have it, but knew that Knight her companion an invisible penguin was protecting it. To keep her calm, and not thinking about the aggravation that would come if they found her, she put on a DVD with soothing music and pictures of fields of tomatoes and lilies. A DVD of snow mobiles racing in the UP came next.

Mini:

If she were married her
lasagne would be grounds for divorce. She was not married, and at this point in her life probably a very good thing thought Sandy Shore. Her life had become much too complicated, with an invisible penguin. In this world of hers there were panthers that were invisible also, but not pink panthers. She had finally left the TV and had made supper of lasagne. The door bell rang, and she went to the door. She wavered as to whether she should open it to the unknown gentleman in formal attire standing there. She decided to open it. "Salutations," he said.
Strange she thought. He had a large smile, but she found that she felt that it was false. He pushed his way into the apartment . He was talking , more like rambling on and on about her fine apartment, and the smell of the burned lasagne. He was looking intensely around as he talked.
He went into her bedroom, grabbing her jewelery box tossing its contents unto the bed. Sandy picked up her cell phone, and started to dial the police, angry at herself for not doing that immediately . The stranger noticed her actions, and hit the phone out of her hands.
"Where is it?" he asked.
" Where is what?"
" The medallion ?"
" I don't know what you are talking about."
It seemed like a force hit his legs, and he fell to the floor. A pot of left over lasagna hit him on the head. He was still on the floor. Sandy's Knight to the rescue.

I wish I had an invisible penguin guardian. Great writing this week. At least the lasagne got used for something even if it was not for eating.

WOOT!!! Let's here it for the penguin. Good old Sandy. Who cares if she can't cook...She's got her hands full and there's always restaurants to eat at :)

What is it with lasagne that is grounds for divorce today? Hmmm...I see a theme! I guess we'll go out for Chinese food instead.

I love the snow mobiles in the UP -- I have a friend who was stationed there at K I Sawyer...says it was the coldest summer she'd ever experienced. Now she's in Afghanistan so I guess her perspective is probably different!

Good job!

3 CHEERS for Knight!!! Sandy Shore sure does have an interesting life! But she should know better than to open doors to strangers! LOL! I guess when you have an invisible penguin you don't HAVE to worry about such things! :)

Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may commense earning with a sum that usually is spent
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.

P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per daily now.
