Not a wasted Sunday!

So the earrings i was working on last night are still unfinshed,  but Mike got the fishatnk reasealed and today we set it up and got everything working it is sooooo pretty!  Yaay!   This was my find of the year....  Someone was giving it away online,  I emailed her but never heard back so figured that someone beat me to it. So a month or so later I get a phone call.... she had her replies going to the wrong email and finally logged in and saw the replies.  SInce I was the first one and left a phone# she called me.   Its a 55 gallon with stand, lids filters and a few other dodads.   It had a small leak was why the decided to give it away.  A few months ago I happened to do some baby fish swapping with a guy online that mentioned he had been finding cheap ones like that and resealing them so I asked him what to do and now wala!   I have about a $400 tank setup for the $5 of the silcone the seal it.  Now the drawback... I had to get rid of my computer desk/worktbench....  So the laptop is homelss and all my jewlery stuff is finally neatly packed in my cabinet.  BUT.. my living room looks sooooo much nicer.. (Minus Mount Saint Toy.... the mountain of toys that I found in every nook and cranny while rearranging furniture.   )   Along with that  Mike fixed our porch steps that were getting pretty dangerous AND he cleaned the bunny cage!!!  Without me having to nag and beg!    We did have a little ecitement today.... Mike came hollering up to the door screaming at me to come quick... He had almost stepped on a little bullsnake....  While he was threatening to shovel him to peices I caught him in a bucket... Hes now a pissed off bullsnake in a cage..   I am going to see if Chase wants him and if not turn him loose again... I had him in the aq. on te porch and mike kept fussing about it was about to get chilly and might kill him.. he told me to put the cage in the bathroom(HOLY SOMEKS BATMAN! THIS MAN IS PETRIFIED OF SNAKES!)  I told him I wanted to put him up on my cabinet where the cats and the kid(not afraid of snakes) wouldnt be able to get to him... and there he is..  Mike (the adult!)  has had to be scolded for teasing him and making him strike...  hes one MEAN snake  hissing and striking!.    He seems to be chilling out a little.   Sooo wow what a crazy day so far.   Since I am rearranging the house for the aquarium I have tons of stuff laying around that has been dispalced and I am trying to organize my house better and straighten it up.   Got lots to do so I better get moving.. that and I promised mike cookies and I want to make homemande chicken broth to freeze for thanksgiving.   Busy busy!
