Friday morning

I need to write. Not for anyone else but for me. I'm sad. So very very sad. I miss my hubby. He's at work. I feel frustrated with certain situations in life that I have very little or no control over, or if I do, I don't know how to control them, to take them into my hands and make them work right. How do you grab control, or is it suppose to be that not everything is going to be in our control? I hate feeling out of control. And my head hurts. Right behind my eyes. And the weight stays on my shoulders. As my mom says, "well, I can deal. God gave me broad shoulders". I just wish I was perkier today. Even though the outside may seem perky, the inside is raining. Maybe blue skies will come out later.

But I have company, so things are starting to look up. Company is fun. We've got fun stuff to do and a few more dinner entrees to make. Oh yeah, and I have to iron my clothes for this weekend. Ok, until next time...

Country Music

Just to note, Kelly Clarkson isn't my favorite singer, but she's alright. It's mostly the songs. The voice is good. That said, she should never sing with Reba McIntire. Reba totally outshined her. She's got a wonderfully spunky, deep voice that Kelly's just can't compare to.

*sigh* I miss having country music on the radio. I guess I'll have to go back to listening online. How sad am I?


P.S. My parents raised me better than to listen to country, but college does strange things to a girl...

A short rant and fish

Why is it that girls are encouraged to be anything they want to be but boys are not. Why is the reasoning that boys have always been encouraged, so now they don't need to be? Why is it that this group of boys needs less encouragement?

I'm not saying that girls need less encouragement or less help, what I am saying is that people shouldn't take away the support and encouragement from boys just because they're boys and all the boys up to this point have been encouraged.

Also, why is it that feminism says that women can be anything they want to be. ANYTHING. But then say a woman shouldn't be a housewife. They shouldn't be a homemaker...well, homemaker is ok, sorta, if you really really want to. But a housewife, you must not be fulfilled or meeting your full potential or have no dreams or desires or ambition or ability to act. If I'm allowed to be anything I want to be, why can't I be a housewife without people looking at me like I'm crazy?

Did I mention our fish had babies? They're soooo cute!! And we set up the new tank and bought some new fish and frogs. 3 pot bellied mollies (one that's pregnant), 2 frogs, 1 catfish and 4 guppies. And we got a ton of plants. The tank looks great! Bert wants more plants and another catfish and some female guppies. Soon, we'll be breeding all the fish in the tank. :D

Ok, dinner's ready...bye!

My babies...

Oh...I was trying to keep the babies in the tank all safe and sound and have lost one. I may have accidently let it loose. I'm soooo sad about it. I'm a bad momma. And the big fish keep bumping the baby tank trying to eat the babies. At least I didn't eat any of them.

The new tank is clearing up. I got some stuff to straighten up the pH in the tanks. Hopefully it'll make it all good in both the tanks.

I went shopping. Nothing exciting, just since I was out running errands I figured I could run by a couple of shops and see what was inside. One being Target. Like I said, not horribly exciting.

It's such a pretty day outside today. I hope everyone's having a bright and happy day!

Fish Fry

We have brand new fish babies!!! They're sooo cute! And we got a new tank. It's quite large. Bert didn't think it was so big until we asked mom about how big their tank is and it's just barely bigger. So, we're working on getting the water conditioned for the fish before dropping them in. It was looking pretty, but now it's all cloudy, but that happened last time, it's just got to balance out. I have to get baby food for our fry (what you call a baby fish).

I've finally gotten some of the herbs to grow and some garlic to grow. Now to make sure that they continue to grow and not die. I think that some of the herbs died recently though. They may just have gotten washed down a little.

I went, worked out and made it home for AMC. Yay! And then I've got errands to run and dishes to wash. I've already gotten part of my spray painting done...yeah...We're making shelves for the new cabinet that's black, so I'm matching them.

Anyway, that's all from this coast for now.
