More Possom!

I'm starting to become a little obsessed with the possom that got into the squirrel trap. So much so that Chris bought me a scrap metal possum at the art festival last weekend. It's just ludicrously cute. The artist bought a mess of scrap parts from a auto factory and used them to make a wide variety of animals. My favorites were the possom (obviouly) and a horseshoe crab made from horseshoes.

Bad Driving

Chris and I were driving home today and ended up stuck behind a large truck that was veering across lanes, straddling lines, unable to make up his mind where he wanted to be. I took a picture of his license plate in hopes of getting the company number off the side of the truck. Turns out it was an unmarked truck!
So if you're in Nashville and see this truck, give him a wide berth!

At the Car Wash

I was on a mission to find hair extensions for a costume project and in the 15 minutes before Sally Beauty opened, I decided that the bird poo on my hood and windshield needed to go. I really like the automatic car washes drag your car along and pass by windows where people can watch. This little girl waved to me as I drifted by.

Nashville has a Parthenon!

And it's all in one piece! It was built for the 1896 Tennessee Centennial celebration and then shortly after refurbished to last the ages. It sits atop a hill in Centennial park, which is where the American Artisans Festival was today that I went to. Lots of sun, bugs and fun!

Fruity nutty salad!

I made a "summer salad" for dinner tonight. It had Spring Mix lettuces, pecans, shredded mozzarella, onion, fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and chicken all tossed with a raspberry viniagrette. It was TASTY and colorful. I highly recommend it.

Of rain, retail and migraines

It was super rainy and thundery today. I love a good storm, but the incoming pressure change gave me a migraine. My preferred method of curing a migraine is to pop a small handful of pills, down them with a swig or three of Diet Coke and then go to where there is a TON of artificial light. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but sometimes the steady, even light helps.

So I went to the hoity toity mall. In the hoity toity mall I went to the Williams-Sonoma (Chris' second favorite store after the Apple store) and while I was waiting for the clerk to check on inventory of a scrubby brush I like, I drooled a bit over the popsicle makers. The popsicles that I would make with that thing would be excessively tasty, but no where near as pretty as the ones on the box.

Wednesday was an exceptionally uneventful day. I cleaned and unpacked, all day. Nothing interesting happened. I did, however, spend the first few minutes of my morning staring at the ceiling fan. I kinda like it. Needs dusting though.
