hammocking!

so, for those who dont have the pleasure of owning one, hammocks are the greatest thing since...the last great thing invented! suffice it to say that ive spent almost as much time in this hammock over the summer as i have in classes here at school :) im actually typing this post from a hammock. just fyi.

(let me say that i in no way shape or form represent the company im about to endorse, nor do i get paid)

eno hammocks. if youve never been in one, you are missing out! theyre made out of parachute material and stuff down into themselves to roughly the size of a big grapefruit. they hold up to 400lb, which is great, so you could get 3 small kids in here. i use a doublenest, so its really wide.

theyre great for sleeping - all you need is your hammock and a blanket, and youre set! some people bring pillows, too, but not me! its especially great if you position yourself to see the sunrise, because you wake up to the sun...which is infinitely better than waking up to an alarm clock.

great for swinging - whether youre laying down or sitting up and sharing with a friend, these things are great swings! or when the wind blows (like it is now), you not only get the swinging action, but the cool breeze to go along with it!

theyre great for thinking. ive spent so much time working stuff out in my head while laying in a hammock, that just laying in one automatically make me start thinking. today i have alot to think about...the stuff going on with my friend, homework i have to work through, stuff i have to clean in the apt, and now i there is a prospect of my starting a new relationship. so obviously, my hammock was my first choice of where to be :)

so clearly you should get one of these. i recommend the doublenest, which can usually be gotten on amazon for ~$70, including the straps to hang it!
