Regular Member CountryLovah Posted August 21, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2008 I can't talk. I can't breath. My smile is so big my face hurts... Ken just called.... it's MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the idea of how HAPPY I am?!?!?! Oh my god I can't even contain myself... I checked my phone and it said "voicemail" and my head thought "ken".. I checked missed calls and it said "ken". My heart started to pound. I listened to his voicemail, hoping but mostly expecting to hear him say that the fish had been sold and would I be interested in any of the others... I heard "Well, the girl never got in touch with me so as far as I am concerned the fish is yours. Based on your emails I'll go ahead and ship it, but give me a call if you can just to confirm" It didn't even feel real!! I called and he picked up and he said "don't worry about the extra $20 you were talking about, I feel like I got what I wanted from these fish" and I said "are you sure?" and he said yes.. The fish is mine.. YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Kathy!!! You know how much I've talked about this!!! Well all of you, but I think Kathy has heard it about 300 times).. It's MINE! I hung up the phone and literally... not kidding, started running around my house jumping and shrieking and screaming like a mad woman.. Tanya ran up to me and said "OH MY GOD YOU GOT IT!" and we started hugging and jumping up and down. I seriously can't wipe the smile off my face. If anyone could see me right now they would be scared because I am sitting on my laptop with this twisted little grin LMAO LMAO She's mine.. She was SOLD weeks ago!! And she found her way to me!!! This settles it for the names... Black & White gets Kharma.. (since Shane said I deserved a little bit of good Kharma and should get the fish) and Lavendar gets Kismet, because it really was FATE!! How else can we explain that she came BACK to ME!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Acupunk Posted August 21, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2008 You are great. It is a wonderful gift to be able to get that excited about stuff. So many of us go about life worrying about all the bad stuff that could happen and miss the opportunity to be happy about the good things (even small ones). These fishies couldn't go to a better home and I love the names (although I don't think there's an "h" in Karma). We will anxiously await photos of them -- when do you expect them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL : ) wooooww!it so nice congrats i didnt kno there were lavender fishies!how cute! Thanks Franky! I didn't know there were lavendar fish until recently either until I saw the lavendar chocolate moors. I love them but there is something about this one that just grabbed me Ken said it came in with a shipment of Lavendar Chocolates and it's really the first one he's seen. When he said that I thought "there's no way I will get one ever" and he said "you know something. I saw that fish the other day.. I don't think I was ever paid for it". I can't believe it worked out this way.. You are great. It is a wonderful gift to be able to get that excited about stuff. So many of us go about life worrying about all the bad stuff that could happen and miss the opportunity to be happy about the good things (even small ones). You know. I have to admit, I do let the bad stuff get me down too. But lately I've been trying to focus on the good, and this may seem small to some people but to me it's a HUGE deal.. I am still smiling lol These fishies couldn't go to a better home and I love the names (although I don't think there's an "h" in Karma). We will anxiously await photos of them -- when do you expect them? Thanks Kristen : ) Oh yeah, I actually know there's no H in Karma but I chose to add one. LOL. I don't know why but the other day when I thought of the name I said to shane "how bout Kharma with an H".. It just feels right to me.. LOL I think it's because we've been rewatching LOST and there is the whole thing with the Dharma initiative. LMAO Whatever the reason, I think the H makes it unique and different.. lol They are coming tomorrow!!! : ) Ken said he could have had the B & W to me by Wednesday, but we went to the beach Tues & Wed, and tonight we are going to a concert. I didn't want to get the fish then have to leave it. So he arranged to have it get to me on Fri instead. (that was HARD to resist). It works out, because now the fish are being shipped together, and I save LOTS of money! : ) This really won't feel real until it happens.. OMG! (Still smiling LOL) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member CountryLovah Posted August 22, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thank you sooooo much everyone!!! : ) I am still soooo thrilled right now LOL I wish someone would take a video when the the carrier arrives I can seee you giving him a big hug and smooch A hug & smooch?! I had more in mind than that!!! This might be his lucky day LMAO LMAO I think I had all of koko's sitting around with odd body parts crossed Spiderman - Actually Ken mentioned something about throwing a dvd in with the package! (Not that I need more temptation but wow!).. You've still never said when you are getting yours, or if you won!!!!!! You can't keep me in suspense like this!!! lol Spiderman, Kathy & JC - I think the three of you knew more than ANYONE how bad I wanted this fish.. I was excited to tell everyone but I was even more excited to tell you guys because I've been talking about it forever... I think Kathy's has had to hear about it ever since the auction it was in LOL Kayla - NO I do NOT get to look at the auction until it has passed! LOL.. For real though, this is it. My tanks are full. No more rearranging to do, no nothing. They are full and that's it.. Proof is this.. Today I went to Pet S Mart to pick up some more filter media.. They actually had a fish about 5 inches long. It was $27 and I swear it was a Ranchu. Either lionhead or ranchu for sure but the angle on that tail was 100% ranchu.. It was an impressive fish, and even more impressive knowing where it was from!!! He had the fattest chubbiest bumpiest face and he was alone in a tank, and looked really great.. Trust me, if I was going to give in, it would have been for that fish. But seriously, the tanks are maxed out and adding any more would be hurting the ones I have now. It's weird. I really feel like it was meant to be.. I was supposed to save up and get an auction fish in a few months. For some reason that Black & white stuck out for EVERYONE, including Shane & Tanya. They just kept saying "that is supposed to be your fish Sue". They don't even like fish and they pressured and pressured me to get that one.. I did, and because of THAT I called Ken, and because of that I found out about Kismet.. I can't believe how it played out. I just can't.. lol I am soo happy.. Thanks everyone for all of your posts/comments. Every time someone else writes something I just get that rush all over again, like, for REAL???? LOL Koko said to take pics of EVERYTHING along the way, the box, all of it. I think I will! I can't WAIT!!!! lol I bet you can't sleep too well tonight in anticipation! Sleep?? What's that?!?!?!?! LOL OH! I just realized! I am going to have some major signature editing to do LMAO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
