Debbi, thanks!
Well, the pond turned a hideous color BROWN yesterday, which prompted me to put the filter and pump in and some algae stuff. The algae stuff said only to use it IF you are pumping the water as it needs to be oxygenated and that is what the algae does. Do you have a pump/waterfall/spitter/filter going? Also my understanding of goldfish (we just bought 20 plain feeders) is that they are dirtier, partly because they use more oxygen than other similarly sized fish. So my plan is to clean out the pond on Sunday now that I have the filter, and see if it stays clearer. I will let you know. I would love to put fancies in there, but my plan for that is to keep the feeders alive first, lol.

Good morning buddies!

Hubby and I did our walk last night, with no stroller. Munchkin stayed at Grandma's because he wasn't going to sit still for an hour for that, since he slept all afternoon beforehand. But we added a half-mile that was STRAIGHT UPHILL!! I thought My hubby was going to have to pull me up that last bit. But it was a good walk and I am glad we did it, and I wasn't even as tired afterwards as I normally am with just the 3 miles.

Look at the last post on the first page of that thread, I explained it to Stacey. If you need more help, let me know! It's just a matter of reading over them and finding the ones that you work on any given day and recording the points! Glad you are taking an interest, I promise it helps!

Lara, Yo-ness is yours!

Fishie update (b/c I am sure you are all as invested in my pond as I am)

so i spent some time looking up info about my brown pond. i have finally come to the decision that maybe its not a big deal, algae is a healthy part of the pond ecosystem and what doesn't clear up in a few weeks will be tolerable, since that is what all the webpages i find say. i just got unlucky enough to have the ugly brown instead of the ugly but not as bad looking green algae.

i just went over to the pond again ready to sigh and make peace with the murky water and ITS CLEARED UP!! woohoo!

Well FINALLY this Rockstar gets a chance to rest a bit from that hectic schedule. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually be a player in the NBA Playoffs and Finals, as I'm SURE they have it worse. Although in 3 days this week I managed to work what most people do in 5...nearly 40 hours!!!

Today they had the championship parade for the Celtics through the city of Boston. It was a pretty quick deal and there was no stopping along the way. There is a history to that and here's why.

Back in 2000 or 2001, whenever the Patriots won their first Super Bowl they had a parade that ended at Boston City Hall and they had a big rally there where all the players/coaches etc...got up on stage and made speaches and stuff....Well, since (and I am not exaggerating) HALF of New England showed up for that....literally half of the population of New England was said to be in Boston that day. Probably half of that amount out front of Boston City Hall. My brother and I were 2 of those people. I will say it was interesting and exciting, but at the same time, it was rather scary. Our feet almost didn't touch the ground (at times they didn't) because there were so many people in the crowd we were shoulder to shoulder and because of that your body sorta got lifted off the ground. While like I said it was kinda cool...having that little control over your life was rather scary. If anything had gone wrong in that crowd who knows what could've happened.

Since then, when there is a Championship in Boston (Red Sox have had 2, Pats have had 2 more) and now the Celtics have had 1 again. They do this "Rolling Rally" deal where it's just a parade and no stopping. That way it prevents from any really big crowd in any one location. There are still millions of people, BUT the are spread through the parade route instead of just at City Hall Plaza.

Anyway....random rambiling I know....back on track, I hope everybody is doing well. I am going to rest for a bit and then be back on tonight.

Keep on Rockin' everybody!
