Subject: hi mom!


> hi, its me! how're you doing? i just talked to you online a little bit
ago, but i thought i'd write anyway....i feel tons better now that marching
band's over, get a little rest! libby and i went out in indianapolis a
little bit this evening, and we bought ourselves pets. (i'm going to pay
libby back once i get my account figured out) she got african water frogs
and i got fire belly newts. hers are just what they sound like, little gray
blue frogs that live in a little aquarium. mine are slimy black lizard
things with bright red-orange stomachs that live in water or land, and i got
a 10 gallon aquarium for them. i have a very important question. the lady
at the pet store said i didnt need a lid, but she forgot that i got a plant
too, and i'm afraid they're going to climb out. right now i've got a piece
of cardboard over the top, but i was wondering if we still had a light
somewhere that i could have? they need some sort of UV light during the day
and that would be tons better than going to buy one. also, i got a little
filter (this may be a good question for dad) and it bubbles a lot, and i was
wondering what i could do to stop that. its completely under
water....anyway, i have to go feed them 'bloodworms' which i hope arent, but
probably are as gross as they sound.
