So. Deanna sees a mouse in the garage. 
The mice in the Dr. Suess tales I read and read and re-read to Max are cute. 
Ratatoullie was a rat… and such a nice little well mannered creature. And a chef to boot! Sadly the mouse in my garage was neither cute, nor well mannered (that’s an assumption since - save for the stare down - I never communicated with it), nor a chef. And as soon as I saw it, I drove through the snow to Totem.
Never having purchased a mouse killing contraption before, I got this “super easy” sticky thing… Yeah. Super easy. Fabulous directions about how EASY it is to take the sticky things out of the box, put them beside walls, and then EASILY wait for the mouse to get stuck. Oh Yah. Super easy until 20 minutes later when the mouse gets TRAPPED and it’s ALIVE and STUCK and I have zero freaking clue what to do now because THERE ARE NO DIRECTIONS FOR THE “after-the-mouse-gets-stuck” portion of the adventure.
I’m not sharing how it all ended. It’s too much to talk about. But my friend Annette knows… she came over (with a decaf latte, bless her sweet heart) and assisted me in the final unwritten stage of the sticky-mouse-trap-escapade…
Totally different note. Wayne Newton is on Larry King. That guy must have one fantastic plastic surgeon. Have you ever seen eyes so wide & wrinkle-free? Wayne, if you ever have to cancel a treatment & they’re looking for someone to take your chair, call me.
Saw Larry King and I also thought, wow, what a plastic surgeon he must have. The tautness made me wonder if the skin around his eyes were tugging a little bit, or if they were hard to close. Then I thought, maybe it wasn’t Wayne Newton at all, maybe it was a Wayne-bot……..or a marionette. After all, his ever so young and beautiful wife did most of the talking!!!
