pixie...

changed one of the weather pixie cities for a bit. i've dropped Villahermosa in favor for Phoenix, since we're gonna go for three days on the 6th. besides, it's a good way for me to check on the conditions ;)

argh, even though i got the tix, i haven't booked a room. the accomodation selection in the greater phoenix area is vast. do we stay downtown...where it is a ghost town at night. do we stay closer to the airport...where the choices are cheap but w/ limited transportation. or do we rent a car and stay in a suburb...like Tempe, Mesa, or Scottsdale?

guess i should decide in a few days, eh? you know, before i forget about it in the holiday mix.

speaking of holiday mix, it seems that we have some old friends visiting again.

rodentia.

yep. i heard some scritching/scratching around this morning at one o'clock. it sounded like annie pacing around, like she needed to go outside.

no dog on the floor though. she was fast asleep on her throne.

after some more scritching, i figured it out. meester black mousie hustled across the floor and got all cozy underneath the dresser.

sigh. still have six glue traps...put four down...one stuck and frantic mouse on a trap this morning. we deliberately keep their opening underneath the dishwasher unblocked. we were gonna plug it up when a friend of lois' said, "why bother? it'd just eat through it."

true.

so even though they have a surefire entry/exit, it's a surefire place to catch 'em too. we'll see how many we'll come up this time. i think we got a couple a day for a week earlier this year.

nothing like an eighty year-old house with openings only known by critters...

well, all i know is that they ain't gettin' ANY of the yummy blueberry scones i made this morning. maybe that's because there's only two left heh. hey now, lois took four to work ;)

got a busy day today? not me. may as well finish some cards and actually get them out. that'll hafta wait until after the acupuncturist though.

it's only on tuesday when i'm holier than thou...
