I did it

[ghost_light]

Mark and I brave the stores today to spend his Best Buy gift card and let me do a little post-holiday splurging. He bought a bunch of new games, I finally, FINALLY found a copy of Stacy and I indulged myself in a little something I've wanted for a long time.

I bought myself a betta fish.

She's pink and silver and very feisty. I spent more than I should and bought her a little bowl-habitat too. Her name is going to be Persephone. So far she's been transfered to her new bowl over-fed and is sitting on the bottom looking shell-shocked.

Mission accomplished.


Mark won't be seen in the mall again until next year.

I have a goldfish. I like him/her. I once had a betta, but they didn't stick around too long. Happy fish!

I had a short-lived betta before too, but I couldn't resist another.

My sister has a beta that has lived for almost a year.

This is impressive since a rather tailless cat enjoys drinking out of its bowl.

I think the big things to remember are to provide fresh water frequently and not to overfeed it.
