Flower petals and Pierre.. oh-la-la

This week has been fun...sorta! Justin and I went out and bought our 2nd set of fish Monday night. Spot and Lucky were their names (we joked that if Spot made it through the night he could also be named Lucky). Unfortunately, Spot had passed away by the time we woke up Tuesday morning. BUT! On the upside, Lucky survived all the way through Thursday morning! I had just started to get attached to him...he was a good fish. So now that our fish were starting to survive a little longer we of course had to go out last night and get two more. By this time we just accept whatever the PetSmart employee scoops up out of the tank. All in all I think we've spent $.72 on goldfish...little did we know that PetSmart has a 14-day guarantee, so if they die they replace them for free. (We're keeping our last receipt now that's for sure!) We've done a few things different since our 1st set of fish, a trial and error sort of thing. We bought water conditioner, which seems to help a lot. We also removed the glass stones we had at the bottom and that made drastic improvements in Lucky's activity. And lastly, last night we decided to go for these little shell-shaped blocks of food you leave in the bottom on their tank (made for feeding when you go on vacation)-they're used to eating on these in the store so we're hoping it will help out their situation. Anyway... last night by luck of the scoop we got an adorable goldfish whom we've named Pierre. He is completely gold except for this sliver of black right on his upper lip (look's just like a French mustache!). The other fish is completely white except for some orange above her eye's ... hence we've named her Alby (short for albino). It's getting a little tougher coming up with names every other day! I wish I could take good pictures of them but sadly our camera cannot get any good shots (darn camera!). But here's one that is a close resemblance to Pierre. (except Pierre's upper lip black really is a line, not a dot like the below fish)
Onto the next exciting event from this week! Wednesday was a very stressful work day for Justin. Something about the database and email being down for half the day...which may or may not have been Justin's fault... ;-) Things got fixed, no worries but Justin sure was exhausted that evening! So he decided to lay down and take a nap. At the same time I was trimming and fixing a lovely bouquet of flowers Justin had bought me for our anniversary (by Wedneday they were rather sickly looking). As soon as I touched one of the roses it's petals began falling off. So I had a handful of pretty pink petals and a sleeping husband on the couch. So I did what any loving wife would do...
He loves me...he loves me not.... Hopefully he still loves me after this post! Isn't he a pretty sleeping beauty??


I also got my real diploma in the mail this last week! While my parents were out here they so lovingly bought me a beautiful frame and mat for my diploma so I was excited to get it all put together! What do you think??

IPretty isn't she?? I'm so proud of my diploma that it is ... laying on our desk collecting dust already :-( ...It will get put up on the wall eventually I'm sure!

Well a large frustration of mine is our camera! We use Justin's 10 year old camera for everything and while it is great to have a working camera, it is so hard to get nice crisp pictures! So we've been looking at a Canon... it's really nice! It's a PowerShot SX110 IS
It's either this, a Citizen watch Justin really likes or new brakes for my Honda....Now what is the most practical choice?? I'm voting on the camera!

And the most exciting part of the week happens this evening! This investment firm we use invites us periodically to movie premiere events (last one was the Batman movie...which wasn't super exciting since I didn't like the movie) BUT they sent us an invite to the Night at the Museum premiere tonight! I'm so excited to see this movie (I loved the first one!) and it's even better that its free! So we're meeting up with Heather and Josh to go see it in Jordan tonight. I'll blog my reviews soon after I'm sure :-)


Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone, hope you enjoy it!
