Fish Update

An update on our fish tank: The master of the tank, Angel, finally passed away. We got a red-tailed shark we called Shark Bait and he decided he wanted to be master of all things water. Not only did he annoy Angel until it was found stuck to the filters, but it picked and fought with the other 10 fish we had bought of various species until all but 2 were gone!! With another child on the way, we decided it was not worth the stress and decided to put the massive 75 gallon tank in storage. But what do you do with the 3 fish left? My husband wanted them to take a ride on the porcelain express, but I couldn’t handle that. So in the process of emptying the tank, I finagled all three into a little bucket and contacted a local aquatics store that said they would buy them from me. In the process of getting the kids in the car and finding plastic wrap to put on top of the bucket, Shark Bait sadly committed suicide! He jumped right out of the bucket and landed on the desk. I came back to find him barely breathing and unable to resuscitate! I guess the porcelain express sounded better then the pet shop!

My Bucket List

I was listening to a radio show this morning and they were asking people to call in and say what was on their bucket list. For those of you who haven't heard about the new movie yet, a bucket list is a list of what you want to do before you die. The movie sounds hilarious, but I haven't been to it yet. Now the guys on the radio show were asking what people would do if they only had one day left. I think these two things are just a bit different. Because I have some things I would like to do before I die, but if I knew I only had one day left to live then the list might be different. Some people were saying things like snorkeling off the coast of Fiji, skydiving, spend the time with family, etc. One lady said she would want to be rich, which didn't make a whole lot of sense with it being only one day. She said if she had all the money then she could do whatever she wanted. I say, who needs the money. Just go get a couple new credit cards and go wild! You'll never have to pay them off!

Anyway, with all these people talking about the crazy and wild things they would do, it made me start to ponder what I would do if I only had one day left. I think all I would want to do is eat. That's right. Eat. "I'm better with food." (My Best Friend's Wedding) I am so tired of caring about how many carbs and how much sugar something has. I love to bake and I think I would just start baking all my favorite desserts and ordering from all my favorite restaurants and invite all my family and friends over for a feast. Can you imagine anything better on your last day to live then hanging out with friends and family and eating everything you have ever wanted without the worry of it ever getting to your hips!!! I could die happy :)
