“To be honest, it looks as if you’ve got the dead on target essence of the position at this time. While others appear to have obscured the crucial thought of it, when you submitted before is unconstrained and alsodead on the money. Clearly I don”"t sounding out that I harmonize along every one of the items; yet, I must say you did given me grounds to take some time to think several of the premises that I imagined that I held up as steadfast beliefs in that regards. Convincingly said, and it is now for myself to consider a some more along more of your most important items. All At Once it’s clear it is clear that you have done an excellant job.”

I loves me some alone time… I know it’s part of the reason I stay up so late at night after everyone has gone to bed – glorious to have all that quiet time in my head. But, my hubby doesn’t travel much – when he’s gone, i miss him dreadfully.

And as I’m the bug-remover in our house (scaredy-cat hubby makes me EVICT the insect to the outdoors rather than kill it (WTF?!)) he’s actually of no use to me. Except for the sex. So I guess I’ll keep him.

Glad you had power enough to watch S.I.C. on your laptop though! Smarty…

In the summertime, Graham works on Saturdays. Sometimes it’s lonely but other days I LOVE my time to myself. It might be challenging now, but I bet there will come a day when you miss that time…

A mouse! I’d have run screaming out the door and at the first car to come by for help.

I’m a newlywed. Literally haven’t been married a month. My husband is in Iraq, I’d give anything to be able to call him with my emergencies. Instead I try not to tell him about them at all, because I know he’s going to feel guilty about not being here.

@Anissa, I TOTALLY thought of you the minute I saw the mouse. And again when I realized my cat is worthless. But, I don’t have your number to text you such things!!!

@Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing], Haha. True…I don’t mind the alone at all (which I would have hated 10 years ago), but mice sort of change things. :)

I used to live out in the boonies where field mice were sort of a part of everyday life. So since I now consider myself something of an expert on vermin, let me tell you this: a whole, intact, living mouse is WAAAAY less gross than the mouse that your cat halfway disembowels and then leaves for dead (but still barely alive!) on your living room rug. Just… trust me on this. I still have nightmares about a couple of the CSI-type crime scene clean-ups I had to do because my husband was gone and the baby was just learning to crawl and gaaaah!

So, next time? Put the cat in another room & close the door. Grab a broom. Open the nearest door, and clear a path so Mr. Mouse doesn’t get confused and backtrack behind the bookcase (again, TRUST ME). Then use the broom to shoo that little b*stard out from under your couch and out the door. And, done!

The power outages are another story. That’s when I go & check into a hotel.
