sigmund progress

Wow, these Sea Monkeys ® are growing pretty quickly...especially Sigmund. Siggy seems to be the bully of the bunch, and I'm watching him closely to see if he's responsible for the decrease in overall population (he does look rather self-satisfied these days). Very productive/fun UT practice last night. Went to the sushi place across the street, chocolate bars for dessert. Finished the handbook for the performance workshop at The Second Concerto. Site of the day: Reel Movies: Better Homes and Gardens...lots of fixit & home improvement info. Going to the cottage this weekend!

geek sotd

Had fun at the cottage with Jeff: napped, read two books, ate a lot. :-) Came back to find out that my Geeky School Photo Contest page has been chosen as Geek Site of the Day today! Sigmund and the other Sea Monkeys ® are thriving, though it's very clear now that a few of them are bullying about (and/or eating) the others. Time for another parental talk, I think. ONE WEEK UNTIL THE SECOND CONCERTO!!!

more sea monkeys

There are about 20 Sea Monkeys left in the container ranging from shrimpy (HAHAHA) to behemothical. There appears to be a gang of six big ones, and these are Sigmund (the biggest and meanest), Arthur Curry, Lettuce, Abdul The Destroyer, Frank (short for Frankly I'd
Rather Be In Paris Sipping Curacao), and Emily. Site of the Day:
Tamagotchi Page - apparently this virtual pet is all the rage in Japan, especially with young schoolgirls. It simulates a living, needy pet that requires feeding, attention, etc. etc.
