rhienellethMy new spring purse ended up being way too big! So I've sent it back and ordered a different one, in kind of a metallic pink. Smaller, obviously. :)
Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen with my new shoes.
I'm all moved - did I mention here that I was moving my office at work? - anyway, it's done, and I wanted something to brighten up my new area. See, I've moved from my cubicle to a corner of this old building where the walls are formed of mortared cinder blocks and painted a kind of pale yellow. Tape doesn't really stick to them, and in order to hang so much as a picture, I'll have to drill a hole (or so I've been told) and anchor it. So, I bought a fish. A brilliant blue/purple betta I have dubbed "Henry". (I think because Ugly Betty and Blood Ties have put the name in the forefront of my mind, though that didn't occur to me until right now.) I picked him because even in the teeny tiny ridiculous little cups the pet store kept them in, he was active and moving around. Now he's even more active in his little bowl on my desk. I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these 2.5 gallon divided tanks, though, and getting him a brother. Then they can puff up at each other every once in awhile, and I can add a filter and stuff, because his bowl is kind of small, and could very rapidly get dingy.
I used to have fish when I was single and in my own apartment. I had a frog, too, that was awesome. :) Then one summer we had record heat waves, and I couldn't keep the tank temperature down no matter what I did - I floated bottles of ice water in it, etc, but I still came home from work one day to find all my fish (and my frog) dead. :( I never replaced them, and ended up giving the tank away. I kind of regret that now. I've forgotten how much I enjoyed having fish.
