Yeah, I was all gung-ho about getting stuff into boxes for the yard sale. Did I do any of it? Not even for a second! So now this week I'm REALLY going to have to get down and get stuff into boxes. Especially since Matt starts his new job next week and we really have got to get the office in order so we can put Zoe and her new crate in there. Of course, I can't really rely on Matt to help me out with any of it, even if he were feeling well. So because of that I'm not spending any of the money I make on it for him. I'd still like to take the class at Watkins, but if for some reason it's already full by the time I get the money together, it's still not going towards anything we would share. I'll put it in my savings account or something. Childish, yes. But I'm okay with that. /end bitterness> lol
So everyone at work (except for one person) forgot about Administrative Professionals Day. I know I'm appreciated, cause they show me throughout the year. They totally forgot though. But on Friday they called us all in the conference room and gave the 4 of us that are considered Administrative Professionals some cash! So that was pretty sweet.
On Saturday my Dad and I went to the flea market. It was definitely nice weather to go, it had thunderstormed very early in the morning, so it was still cloudy and cool when we got there and only got sunny about the time we were ready to leave. I got a couple of stuff, my favorite being these elephant candle holders. I'll have to take a picture once I get them cleaned some more. They were very badly tarnished so I bought some brass cleaner and cleaned them Saturday night, but they're going to need another run-thru of the cleaner.
We also went to The Aquatic Critter on Nolensville Road and I got some fish! I wanted to get an angelfish and some others, but they suggested these two tiger-something fish to start with to cycle the tank for 3-6 weeks. Then we'll take them back and get a credit on them and we can get the other fish that don't handle brand new tanks too well. I was very impressed with the people who work there. & their website is also very helpful! I read what they had to start a new tank and it's going well so far! I feel kinda bad about having the fish and then taking them back in 3-6 weeks to get fish I want. Cause I'm just using them. But they don't know that. The guy that helped us out though said these fish are good starter fish, because they're not very social and will get picked on by bigger fish when we get the bigger fish. I don't want to just use them, but I don't want them getting picked on. I guess that's their job. It's all cool.
