A Quick One Before the Weekend

Highlights of my week:

• My mom is coming into town from Dallas (where they moved a few weeks ago) and she's staying the night with me tonight and tomorrow.  Tonight is ladies night (everyone's coming over for food and games) and tomorrow night is movie night.
• Watching Broken English (two times in a row).  One of you recommended it to me and I'm so grateful.  It was really, really good.
• Steal of the week--one of our Hastings is going out of business and everything is on sale.  The books are currently 60% off and I just so happened to find a copy of Keri Smith's new book Wreck this Journal.  I got it for 6 bucks!  Can you believe that!!
• Eating Sri Lankan food for the very first time.  The girlfriend of a friend of ours is from Sri Lanka and she cooked some of her favorites for us.  Delicious!
• Finally, finally, finally catching the mouse that has been terrorizing me for a week and a half.  And when I say terrorizing I'm not exaggerating.  One Sunday morning T woke up just in time to see the mouse crawl out from underneath our blanket, up his leg, across his chest and then it just sat there on his shoulder.  Another night I woke to the sound of it scurrying across our bed...right by my head.  I haven't slept a full night in days because I've been too worried about it crawling on me in my sleep.  One night I was so wired...and exhausted...that I finally gathered a bunch of pillows and a blanket and made a bed in the bathtub.  Sure it can still find me in the tub but it's less likely to walk around on me if I'm in the tub than if I'm in our bed.  Oh, and I found several droppings in the B-Dog's bed too which probably means it had been crawling around on him in his sleep too.  NASTY!
• A good friend of ours was a contestant on this past Monday's episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.  Pretty cool! 
• Things at work seem to finally be slowing down...at least a little bit.
• T's been out of town all week and although I've missed him I've enjoyed having some alone time with the B-Dog.
• Talking with Kim on the phone tonight for the very first time.  It's always really cool to finally talk with/meet a blogging friend.  And it's like you've known each other forever...you seem to fall into conversation so easily.
• My deposit for ArtFest cleared the bank this week so I guess that means I'm in.

Oh my gosh...we had one last week. I was sitting on the couch, blamelessly nursing my child, and saw something climbing up MY CURTAINS. At first I thought, "That's the biggest roach I've ever seen..." and then I realized it was NOT A ROACH! I totally freaked out, and jumped in the car to go buy mousetraps. Bad karma or no, we cannot have mousies in the house. Thankfully, we caught it that night.

I'm so glad yours is caught, as well.

I'm glad you're going to Artfest - it will be a big event for you and I know you're going to come home a changed woman.

YUCK on mice, especially finding droppings in your B's bed. Gross. I'm glad you got him.

I hope you're having a great time with your mama - enjoy your weekend.

PS. I love this photo.

Mice freak me out... If you have one you probably have more than one... keep an eye open :(

We had what I thought to be *a* mouse a couple years ago... turned out by the end of the week we caught 6. I could hear them crunching on stuff in my walls... ick!

Have a good weekend, and Girls night, and time with mom!
