Goldberg

Since its fair time where I live, I have been to a few in the past weeks. As I pass the game booths, one always catches my eye.....the goldfish game.

I played to goldfish game about 14 years ago and I won four fish. I took them home and two died overnight. I wasn't too upset because hey, they are fair goldfish and they are not expected to make it.

The next day the third one died leaving me with only one goldfish. I knew this goldfish had super goldfish powers or something. My nephew who was three at the time named him Goldberg, after the wrestler and it stuck.

I bought a new tank for Goldberg because I knew he was going to be around for a while. I know it sounds crazy but, I loved that fish he was always happy to see me. When I walked by the tank, he would do flips and splash around. My husband said this was because he was hungry, but I know it's because we had a bond.

I had Goldberg for nine years, yes I said nine. He lived much longer than anyone every imagined he would, me included. When he died, I called my mom and I was so upset she thought my husband had died. I know it is just a fish and you can't play with them or hug them or anything, but I guess I just got used to him being there and when he wasn't it was terrible. I guess maybe I was just hormonal or something. However, I really miss him, he was a great fish.

So, everytime I am at the fair and see the goldfish game, I think about Goldberg and I know that nobody will ever replace him....or her???

Happy Columbus Day!!!

Happy Columbus Day!!!! Thank you Christopher for letting the Europeans know about the Americas.
I looked up some images to post on here and thought the pictures were pretty interesting. First of all, is this what he really looked like?? I don't know.....I think he didn't.

I think he looked more like this. I mean who wouldn't want a collar like that and I'm diggin the hair, or................

Maybe more like this. Either way, I definetly liked the last pic the best!!!!

Hilarious......don''t you just love the Smurfs!!! What happened to cartoons like that?? I miss those days.

We Have Sproutage!!!!

Well, I'm still not convinced that I have a green thumb. However, this is the ONLY thing I have ever grown. They are growing and I am a little proud of that.


So here is the first sprouted plant. I loved him instantly.



There were a few more sprouts that came up and right now they aren't lookin so hot. I hope to nurse them back to health.

I just know how possible that is going to be. They aren't lookin to happy right now. My honey says I have over watered them.

I'm holding out hope though. I want to see my little babies grow!!! Any suggestions??
