I l.o.v.e. Sushi !

Wait..what? No, not to EAT..ick..



My new office partner - Sushi- the beautiful Beta fish..{so, does "beta" mean it's still in the experimental stages?? }




I had another Beta for 5 years..some of you may remember Angelina Jolee {yes, it was a male Beta, but had really big lips..and yes, I could totally have gone with Mick Jagger..but..}

Bygones..poor AJ ( I called him AJ) died during a winter snowstorm back in '02..

(hey, that sounded like a voice over movie promo by Sam Elliot...huh..??)



We had a power outage..poor AJ..seems he didn't like the cold much..I think he froze his fish-sticks off...'

....hahahahhaa, I crack me up sometimes...

But, as Sam would say...{in his deep gravely voice} "There's a new sheriff fish in town.."

Meet...Sushi..



He's talented...does impersonations..

Here he is impersonating a Boeing 747..



And here he is with "Hungry" from Weight Watcher's..



Guess that was kinda insensitive of me to pose Hungry with Sushi..



But, as a non-Sushi eater...I wouldn't really have made the connection now would I??




{Special instructions for the cleaning crew..}

Well, I vote for a new holiday..."Bring your fish to work Day"

.....but not on a bun ...with tarter sauce..
Oh, and little dose of Western "hubba-hubba... "

"The Shadow Riders" I think from the '80's
and remember.....

"a kiss without a mustache is like a pick-up without a gun rack.."

OK...now the drool is gone...no not from the sushi...but Tom and Sam...yeah girl, we're just from the old school...a hairy chest, a stash and a beard...nuthin' like it, these young whipper-snappers don't have a clue...a cowboy hat is a uniform, right...sigh...

giggle, giggle giggle, I just love the hungry puppet through the bowl. I wonder what Sushi thinks of those googly eyes. It is supposed to be calming watching fish but I doubt anything is calm when you are around, wishing for a moustache to come along for a snog.

For the life of me I could not figure out what that thing was behind your fish until you told us.

"A kiss without a mustache?" I would actually like that. When I met Dan he was without a mustache but has had one most of our married life. I don't like hairs sticking up my nose. And the funniest thing is stars who shave off their mustaches if you've never seen them without. Like Tom Sellick. Too weird!

Wanna see what I've been up to ??
