A New Friend for Slick…

Slick and I are sick. sick. SICK!  Blahhhhh…

On Monday evening, I posted the following status on my Facebook wall, “I am so sick – someone please bring me pizza…”  Well, much to my surprise, the incredible Mrs. Amy Wolkove did just that – and all the way from L.A.!  I could not believe my ears when it was delivered and I was told that my delicious surprise Mellow Mushroom pizza was from my bestie in sunny California!! 

Lovely Amy

And guess what – it made me feel better!  Pizza really is the very best medicine.

Yesterday was Slick’s worst day of fighting this virus we’ve picked up.  He was running a high fever and has been overall just completely miserable.  I decided to “pay it forward” and do something nice for him (like Amy did for me) - or that would at least make him smile in his feverish state.  Since he is going to stay home from work today to recover a bit more, I decided that he needed a friend to keep him company.  So, I went to the Pet Supermarket at Toco Hills Shopping Center yesterday and came home with Junior (Slick Jr.)!

Slick Jr. is a gorgeous purple betta fish.  He cost a mere $3.49 – and if Slick Sr. properly takes care of him – he could live for up to four years!  How’s THAT for a return on investment??  Felix is thrilled, too!

Remember to always “pay it forward” – and long live Slick Jr.! 
(Feel better soon, Slick Sr.!)

    You caught me – a friend brought it over from Mellow. Totally used creative license. Edited it accordingly. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Love love love Mellow! Thanks for reading! :)

    That’s the nicest friend ever. I honestly don’t know if any of my friends would do that. Next time I’m sick, I’m putting that on my status to test them out. ha!

    It would be awesome if Mellow delivered because I actually have one of those in the burbs.

    Try it, but aim high – ask for a car. I am kicking myself now… :)
