Guppies Only

I am not going to go on about this for to long because very few of you care about fish tanks….especially like I do. I have helped a lot of people put together ten gallons though, yet have yet to do one myself. True to my style I chose a filter that was made for a 70 gallon fish tank. It is a Marineland duel biowheel 350 H.O.B.; a filter that could easily sustain a freshwater tank the size of my reef tank. Also I chose another filter, an under gravel, just to give it a little more of an added edge. Quite seriously the filtration on my ten gallon could sustain a 100 gallon fish tank. Yes, I do give a whole new meaning to the word “overkill.” This ten gallon is going to be a guppies only tank. I plan to put all different types of males in there, it should be pretty cool considering all the different colors, patterns and shapes male guppies come in. Also, with the filtration I have on this tank, I can pretty much put in as many fish as I want, should be pretty cool :) Right now I have five cycling guppies that are getting the, well, cycling going….hopefully they will make it.

As you can see the filter is almost the same length as the tank :)

Oh! and Stephanie (one of my best friends) got promoted to manager at Great Clips today....I'm proud.

God Bless.

I Hate My Life

As if losing and or having my wallet stolen wasn't enough, check this out:

Yeah that would be one OF TWO hairs trapped in my unopened bubble tea!!! Stephanie raised a good question when she said, "who did you piss off?" Seriously! when are things going to turn around for me??? I guess the bright side of this is that it really cheered up Stephanie (who was having a bummer day)....whenever something bad happens to me it puts a smile on Stephanie's face; such a twisted yet beautiful friendship we have- she is truly one of my best friends :)

Even though God clearly hates me, God Bless.

P.S. OF COURSE....I had them make me a new one!

Yet Another Pike Place Adventure

Yesterday my Bellevue family and I took the bus to downtown Seattle, which I might add only takes about 15 minutes….pretty cool. We went to Pike Place Market and enjoyed the scene and nice weather. We also ate at the waterfront Ivars, which is one of my all time favorite things- I heart clam nectar!!! I would drink that stuff 24/7 if only I had better access to it. So yummy. Oh, and I would also like to say that I am really enjoying my new job, it is actually pretty fun believe it or not. Imagine that….actually looking forward to work??? Am I in bizarro world or something? Idk, someone save me from this happy and contentness, it doesn’t fit my personality ;) Here are a few pics from yesterday:

A very fun day with family, God Bless.

My Crazy Weekend

Wow the last two days have been wicked crazy! I am going to trim a bit of the fat for you, as I don’t want to over stimulate those with weaker hearts. Friday, I went to my #1 buddy’s house for a wine and cheese party which was such a blast! Andrea and Dan, aka Dandrea, are two of the nicest friends anyone could ask for and certainly know how to arrange a good time- I had so much fun and even made a few new friends. Saturday was Meredith, one of my long time best friends, and David her new husband's wedding. I had the honor of being an usher, and let me tell you I worked that wedding like a pro ;) After the wedding the boy’s Jr. High leaders (myself included) took some of the kids to the skate park, which was really fun. The Jr. High boys I help lead form one of the most amazing groups I have ever encountered. They are all friends, there is no hierarchy, they all just get along and treat each other with respect- totally a foreign quality to me. It is so cool- so incredibly bummed I forgot my camera! After that I headed over to my friend Mia’s house for some mean games of rummikub!!! I love rummikub SO much! Best game ever. Finally, after losing every game of rummikub to noobs (I know, I have brought shame to the Seitz family) I went to my friend Ana’s for a small get together/party which was pretty wild as usual ;) None the less as usual I had a great time….no pics of that either, sorry.

Even though it was a crazy weekend, it was a fun one! God Bless.
