he's no zoid but he's very nice.
we had no intentions of getting a new betta but there you go. we needed water conditioner and ended up looking at the bettas.
this little guy just looked too cool to pass up (not to mention that he was the most active of the group).
Mark's just finished cleaning and disinfecting the old tank and is getting it ready for Syd to move into.
welcome home Syd!!

so long, dr. zoidberg
our little betta fish, dr. zoidberg passed away today.
he lived in a little tank in our bedroom and was a cool little guy. he had a bit of an attitude at times that, quite frankly, I liked.
we think he had dropsy. over the past few days, we tried to treat it but I guess he was too far gone by the time we noticed that he was feeling crappy.
the weird thing is, every time I've gone into the bedroom since I got home from work, I've walked toward his tank to talk to him or just to say hello.
I'll miss little dr. zoidberg.

...which circle of "hell" is this?
I think we're crazy but we had no choice.
After 24 hours of rain, we took advantage of a break in the storm to run some errands. of course, we forgot that everyone and their dog would be out getting the kids ready for school.
It was pretty sick. Fortunately, we got in and out pretty quickly but boy, there are some dumb folks out there. Many of the folks we saw in the stores were walking around like zombies. Perhaps their kids made them that way, what with all of the buying of the school supplies and stuff.
Luckily, I can't think of a thing we need to do outside of the house tomorrow...this is good, really good, because I can't imagine going back out into that again tomorrow!!

empty lawn chairs
it's Saturday morning and I could have slept in this morning.
could of but didn't. I feel rested though, and peaceful.
I can hear the coffee dripping and Mark's still sleeping. the house is pretty quiet, the fishies are all kind of dozy in their tanks right now too.
the forecast for the long weekend isn't terrific but that's okay. I'm heading into the office this morning (after I drop Mark off at work) for a few hours. one of the nice things about being in on the weekend is that usually no one else is around so you can putter at your own pace and play music loudly if you want.
this afternoon though, I'm done with work for the rest of the weekend. it'll be nice to be brain dead for a day or so.

happy september!
how did that happen?
it's September 1 today and I can't believe it. seriously. the summer was just too short. I mean, I know it's the same length that it's always been but August was so cold and dreary, it feels like we were ripped off or something.
oh well, at least there's a long weekend coming up. yay!!
