FISH!

Has anybody ever driven a car 10 miles with a goldfish between their legs? Well, I HAVE!!! Tonight was my faculty appreciation banquet and the centerpieces were goldfish. I somehow managed to get stuck with it at the end of the night, and I felt sorry for the little guy (whom we had watched swim around all night long) so I felt obligated to try and get him home. This would have been easier had Eric and I been in the same car together, however we were in separate cars so I had to figure it out by myself. I dumped some of the water out, plopped the fish "vase" between my legs and drove home. I thought it would have been funny had I been pulled over....."uh, excuse me ma'am, but what is that there between your legs?"
Anyhow, if the goldfish is still alive in the morning I'll go and buy it some food....I think there's probably some goldfish food around here somewhere, as Eric's sister had some fish (they were rather shortlived) a few months ago. We'll see.....We fed it some bread crumbs at the banquet, and I stuck a goldfish cracker in there for a little while. Hopefully it doesn't die. If it makes it through the weekend I might take it to school........

I am so sad that the Oilers lost last night...I didn't even get to see any of the game. Hopefully tomorrow night we will wrap it up or else I'm going to be very stressed out!!!! GO OILERS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
