Happy Birthday...to BEN!



Well people, it's official...We have a mouse in the house. Probably more than one...probably an entire family just to irritate me. Yesterday I came home to find my bag of rice cakes moving on the counter. Sure enough, a mouse comes flying out of a hole no larger than a pin and scurries across my kitchen counter. For those of you who know me well, I don't eat leftovers because I feel they may be tainted. Imagine how I feel about my entire house now. SO-Ben spent some time today, his birthday, shopping for things to make the mice go away, stay away or die. I'm happy to report that our house is guarded very very well and traps in place to kill the ones that decide to be brave. Anyway, happy birthday to Ben :)

Yeah you were right rach I did laugh. that pic says it all. That is totally funny that your worst fears of left overs were validated. Seems to always happen that way.

I would have FREAKED out! We had mice at the old Ogden home and I couldn't sleep at night because I was too afraid of hearing the "snap" go off on the trap. It's better when it happens when you aren't there for it. Tell Corky he needs to do his job or else you'll have to get him a pet cat! Yuck...I hate mice.
Anyway, happy birthday too Ben.I know we didn't call, but we talked and thought about you. I was going to send an email...but I don't have your email. And I checked to see if you had your own facebook...but no luck...so Happy birthday anyway (I'm sure Rach will pass it along.)
