Good weekend so far...
Jul. 5th, 2003 09:58 amFishie stuff: Got a couple striped loaches to keep the snails in check in the big tank. Also, since we lost our male swordtail, we picked up a pair of those as well. When getting them ready to go in, I noticed we had a few babies in the tank! Only saw three - there may be more. I hope some of them make it past the "swimming lunch" phase! Once the new fishies are settled in nicely, I do want to get some female guppies in there too.
Kitty stuff: Thursday night we got the kitties a new condo thing and a brusher item to walk through. Hopefully this will help keep the summer of fur-shedding to minimum mess. Unfortunately on Friday we came back from grocery shopping and found the inside doormat soiled - very very bad kitties! And quite unlike them, too. Hard to say for sure what it was about, but it is to be hoped that this is an isolated and never-to-be-repeated incident. They have been well behaved since.
People stuff: We ended up inviting Mike & Shannon over... mostly just chatted and then Nate did barbeque. Pulled some folding chairs out in front of our driveway to enjoy the city fireworks show (not too far from our house, and it was pretty good) and then jaunted over to the fireworks-legal city of Dublin to set off some of our own. Overall, it was a hot day but by the end we all had fun. And twix ice cream. Trudi is coming over this afternoon/evening which will be nice... haven't gotten to see her much lately.
WW stuff: I need to get back on program - I haven't been going crazy with food/portions, but I haven't been journaling either... not sure if it's the holiday, the heat, the fact that I didn't slept late and missed my last meeting... my home scale says I'm still doing well but I know better than to depend on the weight to lose itself.
Wing stuff: Not much to say here... I did get ribbons on the black gauze wings and picked up some 3D colored craft glue at Walmart... had barely enough black to get the veins on the wings too. I do still want to add some sparkle-ness to them too... not sure if I'll use the glittery glue or some rhinestones I have, or what. But, yay wings! They are at least wearable right now. I am feeling a little more confident about the big wings (they do look good!) but havent done anything more on them.
