the blue true dream of sky

My name is Leslie Treece, and I am an addict.

Phew, there it is. I admit it. That feels good. Nick has know about it, my family and friends have known about it. They have accepted me, but always give me odd looks as if I am the outcast due to my addiction.

My drug of choice:

5-toed socks. I can’t sleep without them on my feet. I hate it when my toes touch each other. it grosses me out. On any overnight trips or vacations, my 5-toed socks come with me in the same way a tooth brush would come with me. I brought them on my honeymoon…no…I didnt not wear them EVERYwhere.

But…I am riding the train now (isnt that what you say?) I am kicking that habit.

I have thrown my version of the cigarette was thrown in the trash two weeks ago. That is right…I havent worn my heroin in 2 weeks.

So, I think I am one my way to giving them up. In fact, I am not bringing any with me to Australia.

So, root me on…I need to make sure I have a support group ready when I want to jump off the train.

So I made a blog for Nick and I that will focus only on our new adventure.

Check it out.

Happy Travels!

This is the goodbye present I gave to my co-workers.

I first heard “Bye bye Ms. American Pie” the Christmas of my 9th grade year. My parents were hanging up decorations and I just blasting that song so loud. I remember my parents not caring and just enjoying it. It was then and will continue to be one the greatest songs ever written without a doubt.

I have at friend at work. His name is Terry, he is in his 60’s or 70’s and tells me this incredible stories of his life. His looks like my grandpa, acts like my grandpa, and since my grandpa passed away last year, his friendship has softened the blow. Well he sent me this email that everyone should see. Music is one of the centers of my life and my greatest moments in life have been surronded my music…maybe in my head but that works for me. I am so glad that Terry was able to fill my life with images of great music.

Here it is

So, I am in love.

Obama, will you be my BFF?

Ya know, I wanted Kerry to win the last race because I hated Bush soo much, but truth be told, I don’t know how much I liked him.

This is different. I am obsessed. I mean I have dreams about Obama and I as best friends, and secretly since I follow him so much on the T.V….I sometimes think we are. And I have dreams about holding hands and skipping and riding roller coasters together and laughing about how fun it was.

(Sidenote: I used to always dream of having a date at an amusement park, but really that could possibly be one of the worst dates in history. Usually it is hot, you are sticky, kids are loud, you feel nauseous from the last ride, and you have to wait outside the line for your date because you were to scared to ride a ride…(this didnt happen to me for sure…) but then you feel totally humiliated and like a wimp, and think, woah this guy will totally not like me and think that he cant date a girl who cant ride a roller coaster because he really wants a skydiving partner one day, and then if she cant handle a roller coaster then how will she deal with crazy things that happen in life? This totally didnt happen to me and nick…nooo….all I have to say is that I rode the Superman okay???? That is one scary ride and I love that about it…but man…do not ask me to ride a ride that throws you straight now, upside down, none the less, and then twirls you. Oh and it constantly breaks…nope. I could probably handle the twirls, but I am not going to ride a ride that breaks a lot because I do not want to fall upside down into the concrete. Call me crazy. Yeah you only live once, but if I die like that I would be upset.)

Anywho…Obama…I just went onto his website donated 25 dollars which was matched and I bought a really cool T-shirt. I am also going to a women’s meeting on the 22nd for supporters of Obama.

So if you like him…PLEASE PLEASE…do not just like him. Donate money online..buy a cool shirt that gets you something and gives to the campaign. Sign up to be apart of groups in your area that campaign for Obama. This election is so important…the most important one in my lifetime and we have to get involved if we want to bring about change.

Here are two events going on in the area…one is tonight…for people supporting Obama. If you would like to go with me, feel free to reply and we can go support our BFF!

This is one of the best things I have ever seen.

This is one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed.

I feel the time in which I was born made me miss a ton of awesome music, a ton of great history and marches of people so passionate, and not to mention some of the best speeches ever made…speeches that history will repeat.

But if felt redeemed last night and I got flashbacks to all the great quotes and times that defined history and I saw that last night…and it felt awesome.

Plus, I have loved this man for about 3 years and just always felt that there was something great about him.

So, please, watch great history because there it was and I want a bumper sticker.

.

So, we squeezed in a ton over this break.

We received some great gifts this year and we hope everyone liked our gifts to them.

Oh, and my company Christmas party this year was out of this world. I cannot even put into words how awesome this party was. I would tell some stories, but for the sake of other dignities, they are going in the safe.
.

I have two items up for sale and you should hurry because both are going for a good price.

Pictures to come.

First, I am selling my really nice Nikon lens:

Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

It has been used about 4 times and is in perfect condition. It is going for 750.00.

Second, I am selling my car:

2000 Ford Zx2, 98,000 miles, in great condition = 4,000.00

Please reply if you have any questions and I will post pictures soon.

Man, I dont want to say when it rains it pours, I am in need of a pee-pee-tee-pee (I had to throw that in there Nick).

Now, I am one that never wants for people to see me upset in the crying sense. I care less if people see me pissed because I think it really scares people and they tend to leave me alone, but again, I want to always be a fun person who makes people happy.

But, guys, if you are unhappy this week I really am inclined to tell you to man up and deal with it because I am all out of smiles.

But, crazy enough, tomorrow there is no place I would rather be than work.

We have our company Christmas party tomorrow night and they are always the highlight of my year. It is all my co-workers and a DJ from MOFOYO Money Productions.

It is the talk of the year. Nick usually gets ganged up and forced to dance with Janette who makes him grab and slap her rear…ya know that riding and slapping giddy-up move, and there is no way I would EVER break this up. It is so priceless. Last year he gave me this look in between slaps, the rescue me look, but again, there was no way I was breaking that up.

So, I have been in complete Grinch mood but I think tomorrow I will LOVE Chrismas for a few hours.

So, Coach Saben and I just talked for 2 hours where he told me that he thinks I am really cool and wants me to help him motivate his players and make them feel in better spirits. He told me my personality would be a good thing for his team.

And by talked I might have stretched it just a little…but only a little.

Really I just gave his assistant three Styrofoam cups so that Coach could spit his dip into.

And I was okay with that…until I wasn’t okay and seized the daaaaieeyeah pray…

So I got my wits about me…ran around the office trying to get my nerves in order, talked to everyone and tried to see if they think I should go and talk to him, and talked to Styrofoam holding assistant.

Pause for a bit of background:

My granddad, my dad, and myself all graduated from Alabama. My parents have had season passes for 2 years and they never miss a game. When we watch a game together…watch out…my mom is screaming at the T.V….. my dad and I are passing and my brother is saying language that I can’t write on here. If anything about football comes up my dad will relay the stats about Bear Bryant “the winningest coach in college football history” and about how during his college stay they always went to games knowing they would win.

So…this was my motivation and I looked at the door of the room I knew he was in. I started stopped and started one last time and with my hand outstretched and a remembering wise advise from my dad, “A good handshake is so important and it tells so much about a person. This is your first impression, it has to be good.”

So, with hand outstretched and a thought, “this is for you mom and dad” I went up the and following was said:

Hi Coach (firm handshake and eye contact…check)

Me: I am a third generation graduate of the University of Alabama
Saben: Wow mmmmhumm mmhum
Me: And my parents have been to a ton games.
Saben: Oh great
Me: And we are just really excited about you!
Saben: Oh great..thanks
Me: I was great to meet you
Saben: Good to meet you to.

Then I ran away into my back office, shaking, and I called my friend John on the radio and told him to get in here fast.

He ran in thinking something was wrong but all he saw was me shaking and beaming.

It has been a good day.
