Sara lost two teeth, she’s lost more than that but these are the first we’ve found. She lost one last night on the porch. She’d been playing with her tennis ball and I noticed a spot of blood on it then when I went back out to water my plants I spotted a shiny white tooth on the porch. That explained the blood on the tennis ball. This morning hubby found another one that she apparently lost while playing with her ragdoll in the kitchen. I’ve put them in one of those little film holders. Eventually I’ve got to get around to buying a “baby book” for her. She’s matured so much over the past month. Last night she was playing in the living room and not pissing us off, she was being a good girl. She’s finally growing up into a dog and I have a feeling she’s going to be one hell of a cool dog. 🙂

I lost another fish to dropsy this morning. I’m hoping this trend is over. Simon wasn’t quite right from the start when I bought him. It would probably help if I didn’t lean towards buying fish that are sickly, but who else is going to buy the sick or obviously just recovered from being sick one’s. They deserve a good life too. Most of my new guys have been purchased based on looks as there weren’t any sickly one’s at the store when I went. The only one that I worry about is my newest, Albert, he had some missing scales and had potting soil in his cup when I bought him so who knows with him. He’s a juvenile though so I really hope he’ll be around for a long time like my Larry has. Larry is over a year old and his age is starting to show. He’s slowed down quite a bit but is still healthy and still flares at his neighbor.

Our company picnic is on Friday so I don’t have to work, woohoo. But I have to go to the picnic in order to skip work so sure, hubby and I will go, we’ll take some pictures, play some ping pong, play a round of mini golf. Make sure lots of people see us there, eat our fill of free food and leave. You don’t have to stay all day, just as long as you go for at least a little while.

I ditched the band thing. They have a concert this Saturday and I’ll go to that and see how they sound. If they suck I’ll be happy with my decision, if they rock, well, I’ll consider myself a fool, kick my own ass and get on with life. I seriously doubt they’re going to sound good and call me a snob if you will but I’m not going to be seen playing with a band that sucks. It does me no good. I can’t enjoy sitting next to flute players who just want to sit and chit-chat through rehearsal. I can’t go to a concert knowing that we’re going to sound horrible and it bugs me that the band directors standards are so low. Or maybe it’s not his standards, maybe he’s half deaf or something? All I know is that band sounded like shit and that band director was flying through the music like it sounded okay to him.

So anyway, that’s that. Nothing else new really.
