it's an elephant fish tea pot

Saw an image for a split second on-line: modeling clay

like those long snakes of it that come in different colors

all wrapped perfectly in clear plastic

and now it's all I can think about

totally buying some tomorrow

alert the fruit PR group:

this was in my inbox first thing this morning (ps - Liz got this bird as a 16th birthday gift, it's been her pet for 11 years):

this morning, as usual, i got augustus's food and water. when i went to feed him and took off the cover, i saw something white at the bottom of the cage. i thought he had somehow retrieved a ping-pong ball and brought it back to his cage. on closer inspection, i realized the the ping-pong ball was actual an egg. augustus laid an egg! what is going on! i was freaking out and dad kept laughing at me. after eleven years of thinking he's a boy, he decides to lay an egg. true to his personality though, he wasn't tending to the egg or upset when i took it out of the cage--what a naughty bird. i'm still in shock.

Subject: RE: cockroach

Somebody placed a huge cockroach in a mug (with a paper towel, rubber band so the little critter couldn't escape) on Jeff's desk. He came in this morning and saw the mug wondering if someone had given the Gresham mug to him. He took off the rubber band and paper towel off only to see a huge cockroach on the bottom of the mug. He showed it to Eric. When he showed it to Eric, the cockroach escaped from the mug and was crawling over the table that is in between Jeff and me. Around that time, is when I screamed and stood up. They finally captured it but Jeff has no idea who put the cockroach in the mug on his desk. As of now, it's an unsolved mystery (queue the Unsolved Mysteries theme song…).

UPDATE:

When I asked Jeff what happened to the cockroach - he said it was wounded, yet still fighting for it's life on the office floor. Here at ShleeNN, we will update you as this tragic story progresses.

why I know I'm 30

I'm really into the Red Hot Chili Peppers right now - i know it's so 90's VH1 of me

february

february is so claustrophobic

how many white 30-year old women Obama supporters are there in Nashville?

Apparently more than just me...

I kind of wish I would have written this post a few days ago when I was still floating on cloud 9 with this story - when I was walking out of the polls, I was stopped and interviewed by Time magazine after I voted on Super Tuesday - they asked me:

who I voted for:

Barack Obama

why did I vote for them:

most honest candidate

and when did I make my decision:

after my trip to DC in December, because Nashville doesn't have as much information and coverage about democratic canidates.

After that, they took me to a truck they had set up for a photoshoot - and I they took about 50 pictures of me looking directly at the camera, smiling, not smiling, turning my head to the right, to the left, crossing my arms...

Yeah - I won't lie, I was super excited for the idea that I'd be quoted in the magazine (but not my first time quoted in a magazine)... and for the past few days couldn't think of much else... but I think NOW, post discovering that I didn't make the cut, the best way to explain my excitement is to post the emails I had sent out after it happened:

As I was leaving voting today in the primary - i was stopped by a reporter from Time Magazine, who interviewed me as to whom I voted for - and I did a whole photo shoot for the magazine - so keep your eyes open next week when they have their issue about super Tuesday - i might just be in it! They asked me when I made my decision - and I
said it was when I was back in DC because here in Nashville they don't have as much information available on Democratic candidates.

AH! I still can't believe this happened!

ps - it's 70 degrees here today in Nashville and humid - I'm wearing my hair pulled back with a headband and pony tale - oversize button down shirt, black pants and tons of jewelry - I feel like I totally just rolled out of bed - but of course - this happens to me today!

you know - when I was younger, I used to think that if I talked about something too much - if I was too excited for it to happen - it just wouldn't happen - and I thought about this when I was emailing all my friends about the interview... but I still did it anyway... and you know what - I wasn't in the magazine for a reason... and I'm ok with that.

And I'm also ok with the fact that I just told the world who I voted for on Super Tuesday.

on my mind today

lavender/rosemary soap
