1. we replaced cutler! cutler the fish (named after Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears) died last week and natalie still asks about him almost daily. this weekend we went to petsmart to get her a new one. as you may recall, daddy told her she could have two fish. unfortunately, with betta fish, that's not recommended. furthermore, she said she wanted a pink fish and a red one. there were no pink so at least she got red. but was still bummed to not be walking away with two. the new fish is named Konerko (after Paul Konerko - first baseman of the Chicago White Sox). in the last 24 hours that we've had him, i think natalie has asked at least that many times: "is he dead?" "did he die?" "is he going to die?" "when is he going to die?" "is he okay?" "is he fine?" "is he still fine?" "is he dead yet?" we think it was soap residue that killed cutler. this time i hope it's not flash photography!
2. we had a date night...and saw Date Night with tina fey and steve carell! hilarious! my gf tracy was so kind to watch natalie so we could go to dinner and a movie. how sweet! we saw the matinee and then walked around lake minnetonka at first being picky about where we might eat. we scoped out the sushi, passed up an irish pub, perused the italian menu...went back to the sushi restaurant and were seated. we didn't even have our menus ten minutes later. no water either. no one had food. the place was crowded and people hadn't even ordered yet. we got up and left. then we went back to the italian restaurant which was wide open and looked lovely inside. but when we were asked our name for the reservation, we nonchalantly said we didn't have one. sorry she said! what?! i felt like the movie when i should have taken someone's reservation! so we ended up at the irish pub. the service was slow but the food was good. including the oysters! yum! and i guess it was all meant to be because i ran into my friend, stacy, a soccer teammate from college! i hadn't seen her in 10 years!
3. best buy called and my camera was ready EARLY!!! hooray!
