seeta pooshwie*

first things first, thanks for the comments dear readers/stalkers/lurkers/family/friends! hmmm maybe i should guilt you into commenting after every post? :)

i kid i kid
but seriously thanks for the sweet words. it definitely wasnt what i was looking for but a nice refreshing surprise nonetheless. just keep up the good commenting work and keep those comments coming on other blogs you read! and i will keep doing the same. DEAL

anyway i thought it was about darn time i introduced you to the newest member of our family:

his name is redfish
as coined by our remarkably witty two year old. or should i say almost-twenty-seven-month-old. {twenty seven is a favorite number of mine.  and it has proved to be a good year for me as well.  in case you were wondering i will be leaving this fanciful age {sarcasm} and entering into an equally tantilizing year of life in just a few days.  ahh the late twenties.  you are ever so thrilling.}
anyway, back to our dear redfish.
we bought redfish on a whim while shopping for dog food at pet smart.
bennett insisted that his fish be red, and chose redfish among all the red fish. {a pretty high honor i say}
he has been a nice addition to the family:
we now have a redhead
hes fiesty like every male beta fish should be
he doesnt eat much and already sleeps through the night
{at least i think he does, he is thankfully one of those low-to-no maintenance types}

i bought him a peace lily to top his bowl, but apparently my judgment of scale was off WAY off that day.
so we have a ginormous peace lily in our dining room.

i like the way you can see the roots.

the "vase"/container was a wedding gift that i actually registered for.
my mother in law once told me every girl needs a good m&m dish.
this is my m&m dish.
:)

back to redfish.

um, well, thats all!
{hes a pretty tiny fish}

the end

*seeta pooshwie = the name of my blue and red beta in college.  my mom gave each of my sisters and i a beta fish for easter one year.  mine traveled back up to auburn with me and lived in the window {on top of the window unit} in my dorm.  i was not a master of fish-naming so i employed my boyfriend of two years to name him.  he said he didnt care.  i said seriously please just name him anything.  he answered with seta pooshwie.
he really did.
and we were happily married three and a half years later.
me and the boyfriend.
not the fish.
seta lived for almost two years and traveled many a place with me.
we had a nice burial-at-sea/toilet and his name lives on in infamy {within my family}.
my next two betas were named something boring like "bob"
i mean how can you ever top seeta pooshwie?
redfish has a tough row to hoe
