Growing Up Is Hard To Do.

Hello Lovlies,

I spent most of the weekend not feeling well and it's typical because the weather was amazing. You know, it was warm enough and so bright out that your eyes just couldn't adjust to it because they've been in the dark, grey and hooded due to rain and grey sky's for the past few months. I noticed alot of picture taking ( My Instagram exploded )and smiling happy faces. Ok...well...a few smiling happy faces and some faces that wished they hadn't gotten out of bed that day.

Watched Bean, Allan and Jeremiah make dinner and BBQ for about 6 hours. In their defence they had a lot of food and a tiny grill to work with but they made it work. Everyone seems to be geared up to get things done this Spring/Summer. I've been asked for Passport applications, the two youngest are getting their Official ID because they will both be turning 19 soon and legal ( That's trouble ), BlondUnicorn is getting ready to insure her Harley for the riding season and I have to do something that I've put off for almost 16yrs...get...my...license. This is the last time, if I don't do it this Summer I'll never drive.

No...I haven't done it yet.
Never really needed to. Transit was my friend and could never fit a car, and insurance, and gas into the budget.
Did take the road test once and failed only because I ran a yellow light...twice...I thought I was too close to the intersection to stop! The instructor said "stop anyway I'm a witness if you get rearended"

Ok then!

First though I get to re-write the learners exam, should be good I got 100% last time and when you've taken the test as many times as I have I think it would be questionable if I didn't get them all right. So back I go again and will book my road test as soon as I pass the learners exam. Drive the crap out of BU's car and pass.

Fan Expo is coming this weekend and I heard that we'll be having FREEZING rain!!! What a way to tease us Mother Nature! Hopefully Sunday will be Sunny Day because I'm going! Just confirmed by Sese and Steven! Sneaky Buggers.

They're lucky I'm not crazy into Cosplay.

We'll that's it for now.

See Ya

Survivers With Fins! So Far So Good!

Hello Lovelies!

I have no idea why I call you guys Lovlies but you're stuck with it!

It's Monday again and unfortuntely nothing really intersting happened last week. You guys know I started a new job and in my old office I was plant obsessed. So far after 7 weeks in my new office I've accumulated 7 plants(mostly in the first 2 weeks). I promised myself I wouldn't go overboard! A co-worker in the office is almost as bad with fish as I am with plants.

Ok not quite but close enough.

I call her the Fish Pimp...

So many of my co-workers have Beta fish on their desks. Beautiful...yes but I can't keep them alive to save my life. 7 days tops! I told her this and last week she brought me goldfish! Which was AWESOME except that I've only used goldfish to cycle my fish tanks for other tropical fish, so they usually make it about 5-7 days too. I know how goldfish work and they have a high maintenace level in my book because all they do is produce waste...constantly and they're not in a tank they're in a bowl so they're even more work. That's ok though I'm up too the task although now I'm itching for a tropical tank once again.

It could go right on my jungle plant table...wait no daydreaming about the perfect environment for fish and plants.


Anyway, I had them about 2 days and then had to leave them for the weekend! I worried about Bob and Doug the whole time (and yes if I had a 3rd his name would have been Mackenzie)They were the first names that came to mind and it fit them, sort of as much as any name can really fit a fish. When I got into work this morning I was so happy that they are alive!If they survive another week I'll celebrate by locating a tiny plastic case of beer that I can throw in thier bowl.

Besides that nothing much happened so what have I got to look forward to??

A challenge I offered a new fellow blogger involving food she probably won't like but I'll get her to eat it.

In an effort to get us off the couch and out of the house, planning a once a month something to do project. It could be in the house as long as it's motivational. The nicer side of weather is on the way so I'd like to start taking advantage!

We'll see how that goes...

That's it for now guys!

See Ya
