cry baby

i use to rent cry baby every weekend when i was a little sarah.

i got to release a bald eagle!

friday i was invited to help the audubon society release a bald eagle at UNF! it was amazing to say the least. before she handed me the eagle she goes "when we take the helmet off he'll probably try to bite your face" umm ok? definitely a once in a lifetime experience i'll never forget!

the selby: i like old stuff, not dead stuff

overall, this house is a little too creepy for my taste, but they also have alot of great antiques that i'd love to have.

be kind to yourself

such a sweet and true lyric from the she & him song "me and you".

i always want to clean out my house and throw everything away that i don't use on a daily basis, but then i'm reminded (usually by the selby) that the most creative and intruiging people live in houses like this. with tiny chairs to hold their toilet paper & carboard to frame their pictures.

update on the kitties!

came home and found all three kittens laying around the side of the house, but no sign of the injured mama - we'll keep a look out. neighbor behind us said he saw a guy pull up in a truck last week and dump all the cats in the empty lot next to us, can you believe some people!?! we brought the kitties into the porch and gave them some milk, but i'm deathly allergic to cats, our dog ruby would not calm down, they all had fleas, etc. luckily, our next door neighbors LOVE cats and have taken them in until they get bigger or find a good home. thank god for them! (also, it turned out to be the president of jama who i already knew, small world) it's a solution for now :)

if you or anyone you know wants a kitten, please let us know asap. they're all free to good homes!

i would watch this guy's show

cat-astrophe on crescent st.

friday night we found this mama cat with one kitten outside our house. saturday morning, same mama but with four kittens - all hiding under my car. we HAD to be somewhere by 9:30am so we turned on the car & shooed them all away, or so we thought :( i backed up slowly, but one of the kittens must have been hiding up in a tire well or something. sean said he's never seen me that upset - i was/am devastated. he burried it in the side yard when we got home.

if that wasn't horrible enough! this morning, we saw the mama cat by sean's car. before we left i got down on my hands and knees and looked all under the car and didn't see anything. but when sean turned his car on - the mama cat came running out from under the car, she must have been in the engine. she was limping, her arm either burnt or cut :( i got a big box & a towel to try and get her to a vet but she ran under our neighbor's house. PLUS - she knocked a belt out of sean's engine! who knows how we're going to fix that.

so we're in this horrible situation with an injured mama under one house and three hungry kittens under another and we can't find anyone to come out and get them. animal care & protective services only rents out traps that we have to set ourselves. guh, what to do???

i wawnt that: papervore coffee table

pigeontail design’s papervore coffee table is genius! i always sort my mail @ the table, this would save me a trip to the recycling bin AND look cool.

karen's bday THIS SATURDAY!
