This is what I came home to at 3:40am on Monday morning. It’s also kind of weird, because I don’t usually turn on all the lights when I come home, and that morning, I did. So, you might ask, is that a fish? The answer is yes. And you might also ask, is that a fish on the floor? And that answer is also yes. I was so weirded (if that’s even a word) out, because I also looked at the fish tank and at that moment, I didn’t see any fish in there, because they were all hiding and sleeping. So once I looked a little closer and saw the fish all hiding in the back behind the plant. So then, here is my thought process after I found the rest of the fish inside the tank, safe and sound. I was thinking ok, there is no way Jewel could get to the tank, and not only that, she is a dog and not a cat. So then, I thought well, maybe the fish died in the tank and Rob took it out and threw it in the toilet and Jewel got it out. But I thought that was really pushing it, since Jewel isn’t the type of dog that drinks out of the toilet or anything either. So then I thought that it must have died in the tank, and Rob took it out and put it in the garbage can, and maybe Jewel took it out then. The reason that came across in my thinking process is because Jewel is not shy of taking things out of the garbage if she smells something good in there. So then I was like ok that’s one possibility….then I was like I just have to wake up Rob and find out what the heck happened here, why is there a dead fish in the middle of the living room floor, I mean I know that it’s really late/really early however you want to look at it, and I know that I am probably really tired right now, but I do know that fish belong in water, not on the floor.
So I woke Rob up and asked him “what’s going on with the black fish in the middle of the floor?” I know I woke him up from a good sleep, he kind of just looked at me at first, like what are you talking about. So after I asked him about 3 times, he said “is it the Dalmatian looking fish?” I said “no, just the all black one. It is lying on the living room floor, dead. What happened?” He said “I don’t know, it must have jumped out of the tank and flopped around till it died.” I was like seriously?? “But there is a cover on the tank, how does that happen?” He said “through the holes in the back by the filter.”
Since it was almost 4 o’clock in the morning, I was just leaving it at that. I picked up the fish and put him in the garbage can, and he promised he would take the garbage out today.
So, all in all, apparently our fish committed suicide…..life must really be bad in the tank….he said F this, I am outta here!

Fishing on Weds, 09/09/09
The reason I took this picture, is because I thought the sky looked cool, I promise, the clouds were not really that dark....here it looks even cooler, with the darker clouds....
I am telling you I can do it all by myself, I am a BIG girl now!!! (come on, you damn fish, let me have my hook back)
Whew! Finally got the fish off the hook, and now I can show you!! It was the bass of the day, because Rob never even caught a bass that day, that was the first day I have gone with him, and he didn't catch a bass, he did catch a northern though, but it wasn't big enough to really take a picture of. I also caught a rock bass that day, that thing was weird to catch, it didnt fight like a bass, nor did it look like a bass, I thought I caught a blue gil or something. Rob was like do you kwow what that is, I was like um, a fish, but dont ask me what kind, I couldn't tell ya! That's when he said it was a rock bass, and it was interesting, he hasn't seen one of those in Bangs lake for a long time.....yup, that means leave it to me, if it's there, I will catch it! So my catches for the day were 2 nice size bass, and a rock bass. Rob only caught one Northern. But I still had fun fishing with my husband!
This is my being bored again, I was taking a break from fishing, so that Rob could catch a bass, though it still didn't happen, it's ok. This is what I call the pity party, cause there have been more than one time when he stopped fishing, and even gave me the front of the boat to use the trolly motor, so I could go whereever I wanted to catch fish....this usually happens when he has smoked me for the day. And I just want to catch ONE more fish!!!! I told Rob that he had to say what I always say when it has been a while since we caught a fish, it goes like this: "Here fishy fishy fishy" in a high voice, I was like that is what you have to say if you want to catch one, come on, say it.....he just kinda looked at me with a smirk, apparently he thought I was funny, or cute, but I was serious....then he told me that him and his friend Sam made up a song to catch carp, it is something with a lot of "cooo's" in it......weird! I was cracking up when he sung it for me! It was pretty funny.
I also thought the sky was cool.
So now here I am, that wasted another hour for me, so now it is 2:03am, and that means that I get to go home in one hour!! Woo Hoo!!! I will just keep writing to waste some more time, hope you have nothing to do but read this cool blog of mine!!

I will just keep writing to waste some more time, hope you have nothing to do but read this cool blog of mine!! I must just write and tell you all how proud of my sister I am, she was asking me what it's like to be a dispatcher, and of course, she hears some of my crazy stories, like the one I will tell you in a little bit, but she seemed pretty interested, so when I see postings come up for other towns, I send them to her, the first few, she ignored, but this last one, she got serious, she updated her resume, and sent it to them!!!!!! I am so proud of her, it is the first step to A) making more money, B)working CRAZY hours, C) becomming crazy! Yay!!! Props to my little sister!!!!! I am sooooo proud of you!!!
Ok, now on to my crazy story, this is an actual call I got tonight, I really thought it was a prank, but seriously, the girl was really not pranking me, she was serious! Here's how it goes:
RING RING
ME: "[Insert what I say when I answer the phone, but not putting it in here, so it doesn't attract attention....]"
HER: "Hi, um I was just wondering, who do I call, I think there is a tick in my room, AND I'M NOT TOUCHING IT, who would I call for that?"
ME: "A TICK?!?!????"
HER: "Yeah"
ME: "Um, you wouldn't call the police, we don't handle insects."
HER: "Ohhhhh.....Ok, thank you."
CLICK
No joke that was a real call.....so then I sent the Commander a message, and I said,
"This lady on the phone wants to know who she calls for a tick in her room.....?? I told her I would send the Commander...ok?"
he said "yeah, no" then he said "kleenex"
Seriously, people think we make these things up, man, I am telling you, I couldn't make that up if I tried! Hope you enjoyed the good laugh!
Ok, done, 2:16am, only 45 minutes left! yay!

Fishing last weds, 09/02/09
Here are some pics from our fishing last wednesday....it was a foggy morning, as you can see, but it cleared up pretty quickly, and then was pretty warm and sunny.
Here we are first thing driving in the boat to our first "spot" to start fishing.
Me, taking the fish off of the hook, which seems to be what some people don't believe that I do it myself!
Rob and his bass
This is what happens when you et bored of fishing.....I just wanted to take pictures, and you can only take so many pictures of the lake and surroundings....so this is what you get, he he!
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I do wear that pink Bass Pro Shops shirt every week, why get the rest of my shirts all weeded up, there are green stains on that shirt already from the slimy weeds you get sometimes that are annoying, so I put them on my shirt, what the heck, it's not like I am wearing that shirt for a fashion statement or anything....he he!
