Alpha and Betta

I had to get my betta a friend...so I got her this beautiful blue betta to share her bowl with. I've called them Alpha and Betta. Kinda like Thing One and Thing Two. (btw it's the Cat in the Hat's 50th birthday tomorrow! Also, Read Across America day which I'm doing a whole lot of special things for at the library) Alpha is a shimmery green and Betta is a beautiful blue. They swim all around the bowl together. How cute! :) I also got them some plants for their bow. I'm quite enjoying my fishies!

Went to see Children of Men tonight. Definitely NOT a puppy upper, but an excellent movie nonetheless. Powerful. Based on the P.D. James novel...which I have here at home. Not really sure I want to read it. I'm not in the mood for depressing things. Movies are ok, they're over in two hours or so. I probably will read it. I really did enjoy the movie. Made me cry.

So this weekend is my art show at the Sunriver library. Saturday I have to spend the afternoon setting up the show, and then Sunday is the artist reception. I didn't want one...but that;s the way they do it...so I get one. Sigh. Hopefully a couple friends will be there, so I won't be thrown to the wolves. Ulp. I'm really nervous. I just want them to like my work. I've added a couple pictures of some of the stuff I'll have at my show. For some reason they're not rotated... so you'll just have to tilt your head! :)

Oh yea, and my doctor got me into the orthopaedic surgeon really fast! I go see her this coming Tuesday morning. Thank god! I can't take much more of this absolute non-activity! I'm not allowed to bike or swim or ski or skate (obviously!) or snowshoe or even walk far!!!! Sheesh. Hopefully they don't find anything bad and I can just do PT and get back out there. Right, I'm going to concentrate on the positive. I AM going to be fine! I'm going to have strong legs and will have the best biking summer ever!!! :)

I'm going to try to make it to your reception. Oh, and I don't know if you got my email, but you could probably still swim using one of those styrofoam pieces between your knees so you can't kick. That's what I did after knee surgery so I could still get exercise.

Ooh, good idea! That would make it impossible to use my legs. I'll ask the doc Tuesday if that's ok. I'm going CRAZY!!!!
