PETCO: IT'S WHERE THE PETS AND THE SIGETYS GO

John wanted a snake. I wanted a baby. We bought a Beta.


Meet the newest member of the Sigety family: Tchoupitoulas (Chop-i-two-lis) Sigety. Tchoupitoulas is the name of a street here this is too ridiculous not to use in some way. We just lovingly call him "Chopper"


(above) It looks like that huge statue is in Chopper's tank. False. The statue is behind and not actually in his tank.


Chopper is now our constant reminder to "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming!" This montra (blatantly stolen from Disney) can be used as a helpful motivator through life's daily struggles.
I think John's would be: "Just keep law school-ing, law school-ing, law school-ing" Mine would be "Just keep elliptical-ing, elliptical-ing, elliptical-ing.
What would yours be? I'm so inspirational.

  5. A BETA?!?! Remember the Beta you guys bought me for my birthday freshman year?! Fabio!!! Maybe Fabio and Chopitoolous (can't spell it) are distant cousins. :) Congrats on the newest member of the Sigety fam! So maybe I'll have to talk to John about that baby thing...I think you should get prego soon so our babies can be good friends! hehe :)

  6. Kim,
    Tell John babies are only hard the first few weeks. After that they just sit in their swing and coo all day. Piece of cake! No need to wait ;)

  7. I love your little Beta, but we are also excited for some Sigety cousins!(= Remember our Beta fish Gill? Kevin always said we couldn't have kids until the fish died. Gill lived for over TWO years....about a week after he died we found out we were expecting Tyler. Good times. Enjoy Choppy! We love you!
