I have a secret love for new pens, pencils, crayons, paper, folders and all the things I’d have to have for the first day of school. It’s not an uncommon love, I have several friends who have admitted to me that … Continue reading →

Nope.

Posted on August 21, 2009 by la_florecita

The baby fishies are all gone. I never did put them in a separate tank. That tank got cloudy and that scared me. The snobby guys at the fish store with their spiky haircuts and skinny jeans and scarred arms … Continue reading →

Baby, When I Used To Be Skinny

Posted on August 20, 2009 by la_florecita

I’m skinny. I know. I got it. I’m not anorexic. I don’t think I’m fat. Just want to get that out there. I do know that I’ve grown out of some clothes. But that happens. I mean, right? Clothes don’t last … Continue reading →

So when we decided to get this dog, we had a lot of things in mind, most importantly we didn’t want a dog sleeping in the bed with us. He wasn’t allowed to get on the furniture, even. If he … Continue reading →

At it again

Posted on August 16, 2009 by la_florecita

So the little f*ckers are serious. They laid eggs again a few days ago. Here’s the picture I tweeted yesterday. Same 2 angelfish. I’m trying another tactic this time. I’ve set up my tiny 2-gallon tank I used in college. … Continue reading →

Posted on August 8, 2009 by la_florecita

One down. At work, our rules specifically say that our hair must be a color that occurs naturally on humans. So now I have to start wearing a hat at work. WORTH IT! Yesterday I got my hair professionally colored … Continue reading →

Persistent Little F**kers

Posted on August 3, 2009 by la_florecita

Technically that’s incorrect, as angelfish don’t copulate. About a year ago, my angelfish laid eggs. And I was SO EXCITED. And then they all died. And then nothing happened for over a year. I even threw away the little net … Continue reading →
