A short but true story:...Congrats on your new fish! A short but true story:<br /><br />The kids and I went on vacation for 3 weeks. Upon arriving home I asked the husband, "Did you remember to water the plants?"<br /><br />"Yes," he said, looking pleased.<br /><br />"And you remembered to feed the fish?" I asked.<br /><br />"We have a fish?!"<br /><br />***<br />No worries, our little cannibalistic guppy lived a few months longer until the kids decided they'd rather flush her down the toilet than clean the aquarium.<br /><br />Such a sweet story.Rachel+Cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932780419139715504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-91628117925529706282010-09-02T10:04:04.369-07:002010-09-02T10:04:04.369-07:00Erin- I did watch the Nightline special on Rafa.

Probably no leash required. But I could be wrong. I've never had much luck with fish either.<br /><br />As for what's up with me, I joined a fantasy football league. I have no idea what that actually means, but I'm doing it. Apparently you have to have an even number of teams and the youth group's league had only 7. So I "took one for the team", saved our youth guy's wife from having to sign-up and fielded a team. Our team name: OOAoE (Outside Our Area of Expertise). I don't have any actual players yet (draft is sometime this evening. I don't think I can do better than the prearranged order, so I'm leaving that alone and letting the computer do the heavy lifting for me), but I have fielded a set of announcers. The include Walter Cronkite, the guy who always led "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th Inning Stretch at Cubs home games, one of the British Formula One announcers from the late 80's/early 90's (cause they're just so much fun to listen to) and Dan and Casey from the short lived TV show Sports Night doing the onfield interviews and such.<br />Our team slogan is: We may have no idea what we're doing, but we have better announcers than you.<br /><br />We'll see how this goes.Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456593490517815755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-61558955902265941822010-09-01T12:42:57.343-07:002010-09-01T12:42:57.343-07:00So, Sam let Kid C name that fish after his favorit...So, Sam let Kid C name that fish after his favorite video game character, right?
