Yeah! Mine tend to last about two years, but they usually end up having to join me on at least two 200+ mile trips home which definitely stress them out and seem to shorten their lifespans Sad. Someday when I have a real house and don't live in a college town where all potential fish-sitters also leave town for breaks, I will raise betta fish that live to be five years old. Count on it.

I found this is true as well, about the road trips. I had a blue beta for about two years for the beginning of school out here, but the rides back to connecticut freaked him out a lot. His name was Oliver. My youngest brother found him floating dead one morning and was so sad. [I let him feed Oliver while I was home during breaks, kids love feeding fish.] So we buried him in our woods near the lake under a huge tree and had a fish funeral. I would love to get another, but my cat would eat it.

You should definitely make one lives to be five years old. You should get multiple and have little hanging wall-bowls for them. Beta city. I heard they also live well with those mini water frogs. [from Africa I think?]

My daughter Haily moved last week, so today I went to see her new apartment. She moved to Bardstown Rd., which is a great place full of neat shops. It's a total hippie place and I love it. We had a great Girls Day adventure.
On our way to Haily's new place.

Haily's bedroom

Haily's living room

Her cat Devi=Boss

The first shop was full of some cool hats and an owl purse that I loved. I am obsessed with owls right now, and they were everywhere we went. The shops name is Cherry Bomb.



The next shop we went in called Dot Fox had some cool owl earrings.
We went to Natural Mystic, which I think Sarah needs to visit and buy the baby Kiwi these.

After all the window shopping we bought some Indian takeout and went back to Haily's to relax and eat.

We had such a great day. I really like her new place and her surroundings. Lots of things to do within walking distance. She is a little hippie, she is in her element for sure. I also made a purchase today. Check out my new Muckalucks. Dont know if they really are Muckalucks, but that is what Im calling them.

Sorry for the wall of pics, but I just wanted to share the adventure with you guys!

I'm very impressed with how nicely decorated her first place is!

My first few places had cinder block shelves, goodwill couches, crate and board coffee tables, posters on the walls, enormous speakers and a mattress on the floor.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It was a looongg weekend and I spend it with my girls. Took the little one jogging with me at town lake and she loved it. Everyone seems to be doing good.

Hope you heal up well Tuffy.

I like that little girl dress. Its weird I'm always checking out little girl clothes for Emma now. She has far more clothes than I do.

I think it's pretty, especially because of the rose and blonde in it, I just... it just wasn't what I expected. it's so dark...and blue.

I'M NOT TRENDY ENOUGH FOR THIS HAIR. I SIT IN MY ROOM AND READ AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES AND DO YOGA AND SKYPE WITH MY CAT.

I just wish it was lighter. I think I'd love it if it was lighter
but then again, it's just hair and whatever. I just never thought I'd have blue hair.

Need I repeat what everyone else said? Oh fuck it. Yeah the blue dye will lighten up. I want natural sunlight pics please!

Also I have no life and completed a 1000 piece puzzle. Aside from not having a life I really do enjoy completing puzzles so here it is.

That's a cool puzzle. How long did it take you to do?

The last two I tried to do I ended up putting away before I was finished because we needed to use the table.

My sister bought my Stepmum one a few years ago and she wasn't really that impressed. I think they look really useful!

I haven't done a puzzle since I was about 10. I used to do them with my Mum. *Nostalgia wave*.

What other puzzles have you done recently?

I tried to start a butterflies in the meadow puzzle last year but didn't have an open area to complete it. Before that I completed a Charlie Brown mosaic puzzle with a friend about 3 years ago. I've worked on a Winnie the Pooh mosaic,and a mickey mouse mosaic. I used to help my friend's grandparents on the puzzles they were working on while I would wait for my friend to get ready before school. They loved it that I liked puzzles and was good at it. My mom bought a couple puzzles from the second hand which we completed of a strawberry field, which was a pain in the ass, and a grayscale one of a couple kissing. I also had one of those 3D puzzles where you had to figure out how to layer them to make somewhat of a sculpted image. Yeaah...I'm a nerd.

Puzzle epidemic! I've been surprised to see massive jigsaw operations in the past two weeks at the residences of four unrelated friends. Last one I did was probably age 7 or 8 at my grandmother's house. It was something like this but less juvenile.

I love puzzles but my room is too small, so I always solve them at a friend's. Last one we did was during the holiday and it looked like this:

(not our actual picture but it was the only one I found of that puzzle)

Next one is a Praha building that looks a million times easier than the fish-scale house by Gaudi.
