i'd like to be

The family came up to see the new place now that we are all moved in. We basically just have the headboard to put up in the bedroom and we will be finished! I will post pictures in a couple of days of the finished product. This weekend I worked and then cleaned for the family visit. In the chaos of everything I was able to take a little break for coffee with Belen. : ) We have to make time for those sorts of things you know! Thanks deary, I had fun catching up! Paul and I also got our little fish tank set up, so we have new babies in the family. Surprisingly the pet store fish buying process is pretty strict! Growing up, we pretty much just walked in and bought whatever fish we wanted, threw them in the tank, and they did just fine! I suppose people are idiots because you have to tell them every little detail about your $2.00 fishies' future habitat. They were horrified to learn that we hadn't had the tank set up for at least two weeks before considering fish adoption. I figured they would want us to pull out some sort of lineage chart next, but luckily they caved. Our beta, Sad Fish, now happily lives in the tank and we purchased three new little fishies. We got a little glow fish, Sonny, and a striped zebra fish, Stormy- both of which think they are salmon because I haven't really seen them do much of anything but swim against the current of the filter. Our third little baby is a speckled catfish whom Paul has lovingly named Sancho- he seems a little too lethargic... so I suppose there may be an update on him later. The family dinner was a success! Alton grilled burgers and we had angel food cake with berries for dessert. I think Alton got the better end of the deal because he got all the credit for the good food without all the cleaning before and after the family visit! Hehe. I'm glad everyone came ALL THE WAY out to Dallas. : )
