Forts & Fish!!
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Today is National Fort Day at our house! I encourage you to celebrate. It's great fun!! The girls and I built this little gem right in the living room. It's very contemporary & spacious. The decorator decided to go with the 'fluorescent' theme. I think it all came together nicely. The owners are already wanting to move or remodel. Never satisfied! LOL!!
New fishies in the house!! Woot woot!! Seriously, I need help naming my new married fish. I have several choices to choose from, but I am still undecided! LOL! I love my fish. Yes, my fish. No one else in the house really cares about them. I only have a little 10 gallon tank. My husband wanted to 'test' me first. LOL!! If I take care of it & don't let it stink, he will buy me a big one. I swear, am I not an adult too?? LOL!! We now have 7 fish total. I have perfect names for all of them but my new 'couple'. We bought a male & a female in hopes of babies. :D I took some pictures to help you in the naming game. LOL!
The Tank:
Gill--Very tough, quick, & feisty:
Fin--like Gill, but much more flamboyant & scared (LOL):
Pip & Pop (yes, its only one..but they are identical)--my catfish that act much more like dogfish:
Bubba--because his bottom lip hangs out like Bubba on Forrest Gump:
Here are the nameless ones!! Okay, okay...its only one...but again, identical!! The only difference is the male has a longer, skinnier tail than the female. I only got a pic of one because they are fast little devils!!
So, pleeeeeease help me name the new orange ones!! I want famous couples names. Like: Mickey & Minnie, Elvis & Priscilla, Homer & Marge, Ike & Tina, Pebbles & BamBam, Gomez & Morticia, Fred & Wilma, Samson & Delilah......you get the idea! :P Just leave your suggestions in the comments section! Thank you! ;D
Bentlee's Birthday!
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Saturday was Miss Bentlee's 2nd birthday. I can't believe she is 2 already!! Bentlee is the little girl that I take care of during the week. I have had her since she was 5 weeks old. Two years have just flown by! She has really become part of the family. Ted & I love her like our own! The party really turned out great. It was at a little park, and the kids played hard! I am disappointed at the pictures we got though. We didn't get that many good ones. I didn't bring my big camera, and I really should have. The pictures below are just a nice assortment of snap shots. My 2 kids are in a couple too. Getting the 3 of them together, and still, is difficult sometimes! LOL!! Pictures of our trip to the aquarium are coming next! Stay tuned!! :)
Microsoft, Grrrrrrr!!
Wednesday, July 9, 2008
Microsoft stinks! Sometimes I feel like I need to start over and get a Mac! I have not been able to get online for a few days. I finally got in touch with tech support at my internet provider, and they informed me what was wrong. It seems as though hundreds of thousands of people who use Zone Alarm firewalls were unable to get online. One of Microsoft's latest XP fixes broke our Zone Alarm security! Your computer can not get online if your Z.A. is on!! They still don't know how to fix it! I had to turn off my Z.A. & switch back to Windows firewall. I am not happy. Windows firewall sucks, that's why the Z.A. is needed in the first place!! Now I am totally opened up to virus problems! I know the Z.A. people will get it fixed soon. It's just frustrating that the Microsoft people are always doing crap like this. You just don't hear about the Apple folks making life hard on the Mac dudes!!
I have lots to update about. Hopefully I will get to it tonight or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!! :P
Friday's Foto Finish Fiesta!

"Mom! Can I have 4 pieces of tape?!" That's all I heard being yelled from the living room. This is what I saw when I got there. LOL!!
Must be my birthday...

Kitty #4 has returned. On the one hand, I am glad it's safe. On the other hand, I DON'T WANT ANY MORE KITTIES!! We don't have pets, and I like it that way. It's just one more baby to find a home for. I hope it happens soon. As you can tell from my posts lately, the kitties are taking over my life....and I want it back! They are cute, but that is wearing off! LOL!! So, please say a prayer that I will find them a home very soon...and that we don't get fleas! LOL!!

Seriously! About 8 hours of each day is devoted to a gruesome cage match! These kitties loooove to wrestle with each other. If one of them is trying to go potty, the others jump on its back. If one is asleep, again with the back jumping! They are crazy! No, it's pretty darn cute. It does get a little old after awhile. I bought them a little feather/ball/hangy thing & the noise of that bell ringing all day is annoying! I just hope to find them a home soon. Very soon. LOL!!
