my new heroes

This is (was) my new hero...we heard there were mice, but didn't see any.  That is, until we started painting in the new apartment.  Ewww.  The paint fumes chased them into our house.  They're gone now (we think), but we caught about 6 of them.  The exterminator put traps down, and they did their job.

The first night we saw one, Home Fry saw it, got his bat, and was trapping the mouse in the kitchen while Kikko was chasing it down.  It was so cute!  He fell asleep with bat in hand.

til next time...=)

did you miss me?

Yes, I'm back.  You know, I had 429 e-mails in my mailbox.  429.  I deleted them all, only because if I read them, I would lose my mind and my house would not get finished.  So if you don't see comments from me, don't get mad.

I'll start you off with this one...a pic of Joey.  The big one, that is.  Shhhh...he doesn't know I'm posting this...hee hee hee.

This was the other day after his uncle's funeral...more on that later.

more to come...

til next time...=)

little hiatus

Sorry I haven't written in a while...I'm just leaving this so you guys know that I'm not dead or stopped writing or anything.  I'm lost without this my puter!  Thing is, my phone was turned on at the new house last week, but my DSL won't be turned on til next week.  Go figure.  So I'm still here, just not writing.   I haven't been reading either...I can just imagine all the e-mails I have, since I haven't read that since some time last week...OMG.  I'm afraid to look...lol.

Anyway, I'll be sure to make up for lost time...I have LOADS of new pics, a school easter party, a funeral, Easter, and more to write about!  Be back on the 20th (maybe before...who knows when they'll have that hooked up)!

til next time...=)

scavenger hunt #68

Category: Plastic...go play!

I almost didn't get this in time--been cleaning (and taking pics along the way).  But in the process, I got this week's item!

My entry for this week is the plastic bags (of garbage), along with some other stuff, taken from the porch of our new apartment.  The old tenants were supposed to come back during the week to get rid of it, but we didn't want to look at it anymore.  So there you go!

til next time...=)

I'm moving...from here...

to here.

Yes, we liked the other apartment.  Yes, it's 3 bedrooms.  And yes, we're getting it for the same as we're paying in our current apartment.  YAY.  We're painting the new one, and we're eating the cost for the paint.  I took before pics...I'll show you them when it's all done.

Speaking of moving, now the house is completely empty except for us.  That's right--the one who moved in LAST MONTH snuck out last night (or tried to, anyway). Joey told me he saw a U-Haul out there...she probably thought we weren't home, since I took the car to work.  The reason?  She says there was a cat pee smell in the house (coming from the basement).  She only mentioned it to us a little over a week ago--not enough time to take care of the problem.  Oh well.  So now we have 3 apartments to rent.  Cool.  The bad part is we have to clean them, too.  Ugh.

til next time...=)
