So sorry for the long absence, guys. I’ve sat down four times to write a blog and Blogger wouldn’t let me login.
Quite frustrating.
And now it’s late. So I’m going to summarize what I was going to say in bullet points:
1. Interesting day today. About lunch time, I let Kody outside (which, no, isn’t very interesting), looked out a few minutes later and saw him playing with what at first looked like a piece of bark. On a closer look, though, I saw it was a MOUSE.
2. I am horrendously afraid/grossed out/disgusted/horrified/on the verge of breakdowns with anything that involves mice. So I called Jon, who thankfully is on his last week of school, and he was able to run home on his lunch break to get it for me. Nathan and I waited in the car for him because NO WAY was I staying in the house close to the rodents.
3. Because of this, we will now be moving shortly. Which is a shame, because I still haven’t decorated my living room completely.
4. I think it’s sad that we’ve lived here almost three years and I still haven’t decorated my living room.
5. If you haven’t seen Ramona and Beezus, you need to watch it. It is one of my new top three favorite movies. I have teared up with happy tears almost every time I’ve watched it. Go buy it. Don’t even bother renting it. You’ll be glad you did.
6. Don’t forget that Easter Carats is available on Kindle. And to answer a few questions: No, it won’t be releasing in book form, it’s only going to be released on Kindle. Also, you can download a free Kindle app to your computer – you don’t need a Kindle in order to read it. 🙂 Thanks so much to those of you who have read it and told me your feedback – I love hearing it!
7. I know that it is customary to hear a mouse story and respond with a disgusting one of your own, but PLEASE, for all that is good and barely sane in this world, DO NOT leave your gross mouse stories in the comments! I will not sleep tonight as it is.
8. Aren’t these the cutest pictures of Nathan? He was driving Gammy and Pops’ Corvette this weekend. Didn’t make it out of the garage, though. 😉
Y’all have a rodent-free night.
I find it funny that there was a mousetrap ad while I was reading this post. 🙂 Nathan is sooo cute! If only he were about 16 years older… ha! 😀
This post is hilarious. I won't leave a mouse story, but it is pretty funny that Blogger put links to mouse/rodent-related things under your post, hehe. Nathan looks like he's ready to drive himself to school. :)I LOVED the Ramona books when I was little. Mom used to find them in my bed. 🙂
I could not agree with you more about the mouse thing (I can hardly say the word for fear of bringing on nightmares tonight). I once sat on the dining room table an entire day because I thought there was a mouse. In restrospect, why didn't I just leave?
I loved the movie Ramona and Beezus, but then I grew up reading the books; Beverly Cleary was one of my favorite author's as a child the other being Laura Ingalls Wilder
I love Ramona and Beezus!!! I actually bought the movie too without renting it and I am so glad I did 😀
P.S.I heart your blog SO much!! Never fails to inspire me and make me laugh out loud!!
That Remona move was a good one 🙂 Loved it 🙂 Never thought you'd be afraid of mice though….
Loved Easter Carats! Such cute pictures of Nathan!
So sorry to hear about your "incident"… one of the worst things to have to deal with! So glad your hubby could help you out! =) Yuck.
I loved Ramona and Beezus too!!! It was really cute and one of those movies that just makes you feel happy inside:)
Nama told me this story at dinner tonight…it cracked me up envisioning you and Nathan hiding in the car lol. 🙂 Gunnar got a hold of something horribly gross one time. Carly and I figured out that if you throw food at the dog and make a food trial to the house they'll let the gross thing go. 😛
