"Free" Fish

So, yesterday we picked up the "free" fish and fishtank from one of the "Repo" houses that Sarah had to lock up. Actually, the company even paid $50 to have the stuff removed. So, now we are the proud owners of a 110 gallon tank complete with barbs, platys, placto and even an eel. (ewwww) No one likes that one. Today we took a trip to the pet store to get a few items. Hmmmmmmmm. Left the store with some $60 of "stuff". Plants for the fishies to hide in. A new filter pack. A net, vacuum but no new fishies. The girl suggested waiting a week because we had to change the yucky water.
It is kind of peaceful to sit here computing and listen to the water gurgle. If we get sick of it we can always sell it in the BIG spring garage sale.

P.S. I just heard they found the scout that was missing in the woods in N.C. What in the world was he thinking? Well I'm glad they found him!

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight savings time was a good idea. Starting it 3 weeks early was an even better idea. It's 7:45 p.m. and the street lights haven't even come on yet. It just makes me feel better. You get the feeling that you have more hours of sunlight. I guess maybe it's that you do actually have more sunlight during your "waking" hours.

I have a movie review. Go see WILD HOGS! It's a little silly, but it is a feel good just laugh your head off movie. I laughed so hard, out loud right in the theatre. Every one in the theatre was laughing which I think just made everyone laugh even harder. And, if you're worried that you've gained a little weight lately, don't worry because John Travolta and Tim Allen have both put on a lot of weight. Well, that's my 2 cents!

Nearly 50...

The temperature that is! What a great day. Slept in. (because of the time change of course!) Got up and cleaned up the house a bit. Then went outside to do the first chores of spring.
pick up the dog poop in the front yard
sweep the garage
take down the Christmas lights
clean up inside the car

The best part was playing outside with the neighbors. We blew bubbles, played ball, even sat in the sun for a bit.
All in all as I said it was a GREAT day!

P.S. Should have grilled dinner...
