We finally got the form for the money. It arrived at work last night, Tom said in his memo to me, so he’ll be getting up at noon, then we’ll take off for Casa Grande.

We moved the fish yesterday from the den to the living room. It looks much better there. The top’s easier to reach and there’s more light in that room.

We vacuumed about ¾ of the water out of the tank first. The vacuum’s really cool. There’s no motor or anything to it. It’s just a tube with a hose attached to it for siphoning the water.

We lost the third out of the four mollies. No more mollies, that’s for sure!

Tom and I were talking about Paula and her 60 days for assault. Assault’s less everywhere like he said, but that makes no sense. That totally makes no sense. That’d be like executing someone for stealing a candy bar and giving a year to a rapist. How much more backward can this system get?!

I think the best time to visit Mary will be at the end of next year when he’s on vacation.

I’ve been raiding one of the jokes sites so I can use all the pretty email pictures and designs for Tom and Dave. I even sent the jokes I got yesterday to Michelle, and of course, printed them out for Mary.

Tom’s going to call Mary from work to see if we’re still on for meeting at Harrah’s tomorrow and at what time.

It’s been colder. The heat even came on before midnight last night and didn’t stop till 10 AM.

Tom and I were talking about how cool it’d be to live in a submarine, but that’s definitely the “impossible dream.” I’d have a better chance of becoming president! At least we wouldn’t have to worry about storms and it’d be so neat watching the ocean life.

Later…

It’s quite dark out now for being the time that it is. It’s very cloudy and windy, like we may get a storm. It drizzled a bit earlier.

Anyway, I gave my signature, the form was notarized, then we went grocery shopping. We got a good variety of foods as we’re determined to enjoy ourselves before our diets! I’m making ribs right now. They’re short ribs that are basting in a beef Nominator I got in a pouch to go with it. I had to put something in with it or else it’d be drier than powder.

We also got colored goldfish crackers, ice cream, zucchini and mozzarella bites, and other things. Pecan coffee and even some catfish for me to grill. I also got what’s called stuffed focaccia. It’s a pie-like thing of light Italian bread that’s stuffed with spinach, feta cheese and mushroom filling. Got cream of mushroom and cream of asparagus soup as well as peanut butter crunch cereal and hot chocolate which I occasionally like during the winter.

He mostly got his usual, since he doesn’t like the variety of foods I like; ice cream, hotdogs and potatoes. It’s a good thing the guy takes vitamins and minerals!

Got another cologne, so now I have 4 – musk, coconut, strawberry and peach.

He spoke to Mary. They’re basically going to hang out all day at the casino tomorrow (that’s how much money they have to spare!) and we’re going to join them around noon. I’ll probably get up around 9:30, then we’ll leave around 11:00, so we should see them before noon. Tom left for work a little while ago and he’ll be in around 2 AM. That way he can get sufficient sleep before we go to eat and lose money while we watch Mary win money she doesn’t really need.

Mary mentioned the many messages I hit Dave with. I asked Tom if she sounded like she was complaining, and he said her voice did sound as if to say that was a bit extreme, which I’ll admit is true, so I won’t overwhelm them again if it’s going to bother them.
