Welcome Back Wingnut!

Phew! It took forever to find the perfect fish. But, Goodness! You should see her. She is huge, purple with green spots, and the nicest thing you'll ever meet. The sparkly scales really attracted me to her.

I've spent the last few days enlarging my bath tub so she has a nice place to live. It's a little cramped when I get in there to shower and have to share the space with her, but we are making it work.

Oh, you want to know her name? Griselda. She came with that name. I call her Grizzy for short. She really likes living with me. You're welcome to come over and meet her anytime.

Gone Fishing

Or something like that... I'm taking a trip... Perhaps I'll share the tales of this trip (at least the size of the fish I catch) with you when I return.

Take care,

Wingnut Update

These monday holidays sure make the week fly by!

We hit the CA State Fair on Monday. One of the highlights were the baby pigs. Born only two days earlier! They were really little, really pink, and really cute. Mama pig, I'm sorry, was not so cute.

Have you done your part to help the Hurrican Katrina victims? I made my donation to the red cross. It may have taken longer than we would've liked, but rescue efforts seem pretty coordinated now. You should do your part! If you're mobile, call them up, you can be trained and deployed to help out!

Clarifications

The snow at the Back Street Boys concert was fake snow falling onto the stage. No it didn't really get cold...I was being funny. But it did snow, just not the cold kind.


My favorite snack food of ice refers to the frozen water... Actually I use ice cube trays since my fridge is old school and won't dispense it for me.

Everyone clear now?

Favorite Snack Foods

My new favorite snack food is ICE (well, that's not so new anymore.., but still at the top of the list).

My next new favorite snack food is Jamba Juice's Matcha Green Tea Blast. YUMMEEE!!!

Back Street's Back! Alright!

Did you know there are 5 of them? Back Street Boys. There are 5! And they're old.

We went to their concert at Sleeptrain last night... They were all dressed in the "grunge" style and not lookin' too attractive if you ask me. Maybe it's because their not teenagers anymore.

I couldn't believe the lungs some of these girls in the crowd had. I swear the one behind me yelled "I love you" at the top of her lungs at least 100 times during the show. Probably 50 times before and after the show too. It was impressive. If the loud music didn't make my ears ring, her screams certainly did. She was having fun though, and that's what it's all about. More power to her!

My crew and I had a great time as well. I literally yelled and screamed so much I was light headed. I had to sit down half way through. I think that's a sign of aging. (No, I'm not a huge fan, but screaming was part of the experience.) I only knew about half the songs they played. I'm not up to date on the new stuff, and hadn't been hip for their old stuff. But the Millenium stuff I have down pat! Boy did we rock out!

Oh, it snowed during the concert! I was cold.
