Happy Leap Day

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Happy Leap Day! I am trying to get Josh to buy me this as a Leap Day present.
He’s not going for it, though. But I am determined to wear him down. Oh yes, I will get my emu baby IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO.

Name that Betta

Introducing…my latest betta fish!

He’s prettier in person. Gaby has been trying to eat him all afternoon. I set him down on our coffee table and went off to the bedroom to sort laundry. When I came back, the fish was in his cup…on the floor. Gaby had somehow knocked him off, [...]

New house soon, hopefully

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Gonna beat Josh to the punch on this one: we found a new The One House, My preciousssss. And we put an offer on it.
And after some haggling, the offer has been accepted!

Absconders

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

It’s been awhile since I’ve written about the status of our aquarium. That’s mostly because I’ve been very hands-off since the Great Ich Disaster. There are currently 5 survivors of the Disaster: 4 opaline gouramis and 1 little Bob (red minor tetra). I felt bad for the little Bob who was all [...]

Not a crazy fangirl, I promise

Only 44 more hours in my current position. Only 44 more hours until I get a cubicle and get out of here.
(I have to keep repeating this to myself so I don’t LOSE IT. Special thanks go out to that special customer who TURNED OFF THE POWER TO AN ENTIRE DATACENTER.)

Adventures in Househunting, unabridged

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I know what you’re thinking right now: “Hey! Melissa upgraded to a new version of Wordpress!” No? Well, I did. I can’t really tell anything is different except now I have the option of putting tags on entries. I have no idea how this is different from the “categories” thing, [...]

Possible new house off the port bow

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Josh tells me I am the only one on rayd.org who hasn’t posted today. So in an effort to fit in, here’s a quick post while I have 45 minutes left in the day.
No news on the househunting front. Still waiting to hear if our offer on The One House (as I have [...]
