Right now I have no pictures to show you guys, that will have to wait. But... there is no lack of things to blog about, and I think this has potential to be a very entertaining blog!!! Last week while trying to figure out why my neon tetras were dying I accidentaly exploded a thing of fish medicine that is basically purple iodine all over the wall. We also havrvested about 6 cucumbers this past week and noticed 7 softball size watermelons growing that we previously had not noticed! Also it is the 1st anniversery of our wedding, which is awesome, and scary because this first year flew by. And the last subject I would like to blog about is the religous nuts with signs and straw hats shouting at us as we walked out of church today. So I here we go...
So Amy and I set up our aquarium a few weeks ago and bought several fish for it, well two out of the three original fish died, which sucks because this time we decided to get the fish that would live awhile and not easily die on us. After waiting a week, and making several water changes we bought some more fish to go with the one loner left, well he killed five out of the seven we bought. He is suppose to be a semi agressive fish, and we were told he could live with neon tetras, but he disagreed and one by one killed them all. Anyways, at first I didnt realize he was doing the killing, and so I assumed the fish had a disease. So I proceded to put some fish medicine in the aquarium, and it wouldnt come out. I squeezed harder, still nothing, harder and still nothing!!! So I got frustrated and squezzed real real hard, and not surprisingly it exploded. All over the aquarium, the wall, the leather recliner and even the door! The den looked like a Muslim suicide bomber octopus had targeted Amy and I. Not surprisingly the inky explosion stained everything, but we got some bathroom cleaner and it got most of it off. But just so you all know, windex will take the paint off of the wall. It also got in the aquarium, even though thats where it was suppose to go, I put in about 50 times the amount that is suppose to go in it, so I had to make a quick fish rescue, which wasnt easy since the water was dark purple. After that disaster all I had left were the two plecos, the blue ram (the bully), and one tetra. Later the blue ram killed the tetra, and then for unknown reasons the blue ram passed away last night, apparently unable to cope with being a mass murderer he killed himself. Thats what Im assuming anyways, because it couldnt be that I over fed him and mold from the left over food poisoned the water.
This garden is one of the main reasons I started this blog, because I felt that if I lacked things to blog about, then at least I could always talk about it's progress. So while watering the garden I saw a cucumber. Then as I started to peal back leaves and look under all the crazy plant growth I noticed a ton of cucmbers and small watermelons, some cucs ready to pic, and others still tiny. I will put up some pictures later, but as of now we have harvested 7 cucumbers and have at least 5 more that will be ready to pic in the next week. We also have at least 7 watermelons the size of softballs or larger, and a ton that are just the size of my thumnail. We also have some kind of cucumber/watermelon/pumpkin hybrid that looks like a squash. And we harversted our first deformed green pepper and have about 20 green tomatoes that will hopefully be red soon!
So for my third topic in this blog I would like to mention the nut jobs that were shouting at us when we walked out of church this morning. There were three of them, a family, one old man, a woman with a vidoe camera, and sadly a little girl, who couldnt have been 10 years old. The little girl was holding a sign that said "GOD VOMITS OUT LUKE WARM CHRISTIANS!", the old man called us sodimites (news to me) and said it was our fault that there were gays in this country. He then shouted at us and told us we were sinners because of how we dressed. I must have missed the verse in Lamatations that talked about not wearing green pants and a button down collared shirt to church, maybe it was the fish on my shirt that offended him? I got a bunch of good pictures of these guys that I will post later.
And since I dont want to end on a sour note talking about people who apparently get thier revalations from God out of a moonshine steal, I will talk about somthing good. Today, August 8th 2010 is the anniversary of the day that Amy Wallace became Amy Larson! Thats right! the best day of my life! Thanks for putting up with me this year Amy! I know it has been fun, challenging, maddening, and frustrating putting up with me! I love you Amy Larson and this has been the best year of my life!
