Right now I just got off the phone with my youngest daughter and am greatly relieved. She is being transferred from San Fran to Milwaukee. The other day she told me that the movers were coming on Tuesday and that she would arrive in Omaha sometime on Thursday. I was waiting for her call to tell me that she was hitting the road, and when it didn't come yesterday, I assumed that the movers had finished late and she had decided to stay over and leave early Wednesday. So when she called just now, imagine my surprise to find out that she was leaving Lincoln, Nebraska and was just an hour away from Omaha! She knew that I would worry about her traveling so far all alone. So she used one of her father's old tricks..."Don't tell mom if all it's going to do is make her worry." Her boyfriend, was on the phone with her until about midnight, when she told him that she was at the motel someplace in Wyoming where she had planned to stay. He said he would stay on line with her until she was safely in her room. She told him to go on to bed, and that she just needed to get a few things out of the car. She lied! She didn't want him to worry either. Instead she drove all night! She said she was being clever and devious. She said she takes after both of her parents, but wasn't going to say what she got from whom. But I have to admit...she saved me a ton of worry.

RN Mocha, the city has been digging up the wash behind our neighborhood for a few weeks now and ever since they started we've been over run by things that crawl, slither and walk on four legs. The rabbits and squirrels are kinda cute. The mice, after 9 years of dealing with this don't really bother me anymore. But driving down the street in the morning and seeing snakes that have been run over is really creeping me out! If we're seeing 2-3 a week, how many are we not seeing??? The city gets out and bulldozes the wash about twice a year, and about that time we usually start to see mice again. This is the first time they've actually dug part of it up and the first time we're seeing snakes in the neighborhood though and I don't like it one bit!

RN, I have a little lizard living inside my house. He was sitting on an old plant stand the other night and I tried to catch him to go live outside. Of course, that didn't work, he ran under my couch and I haven't seen it since. It look kind of like a geeko or salimander. I really don't know my lizards! Just don't want it to get stepped on or try and get in bed with me. Is there a lizard bait (friendly one) anyone know of? And how long do they live?

RN, I just found out that mapquest has the coolest new feature, you can drag the map around. This makes it soooo much easier (faster too) to use!

Right now ... my son caught his lizard by throwing a wet paper towel over it. He said it "stuns" the lizard and then you can put it into something like a box or cup. Right now 2 .. the mouse at my house, actually back yard, is now dead. He must have been ill because it didn't look like anything got him. Rest in peace Mickey.

Right now, I would like to point out to Oldtex that lizards eat bugs in your house, not that there are any bugs in your house, but if there were, the lizard would go to work on them. And she won't get in bed with you, so not to worry a LOT if you don't catch her.

Biloxibelle, Juju & Nick, thanks for the great advice regarding Ms. Lizard. Well, I don't think I could catch one with my hands...just because and I did try the paper and cup method, I wasn't fast enough and that when she ran under the couch. The wet paper towel method sounds do-able. I just can't find her. So, I guess she now has a new home until the poor thing starves to death. But thanks for the advice. I always find good advice on TVCH!

Right Now, oh forgot, Right Now...with the mild nights we are having, we've been sleeping with the windows open. Our screens are mostly sliding door screens and plenty of Lizard Chow does get in. Oh the moths are driving me crazy, flying in front of my screen and TV screen. Here, we even still have June Bugs!

RN I can't sleep so I've been playing around in the games area of the board. Thank goodness it's Friday and I can catch up on my sleep this weekend. Hey Oldtex, I noticed the June bugs just the other night. They're usually gone by this time of year aren't they? Ewww, hate those things!

Right now, there's a mouse in the house. I just got out of the shower, so here I am walking around in my robe and bare feet with a towel wrapped around my head, when hubby says, "Be careful. You almost stepped on that mouse." "What mouse?" "The one right by your foot" *Mary jumps a foot and a half straight up*. "What the heck is a mouse doing in here!!!...and where are those lazy cats! (We have three.) *Hubby whistles for cats* Yes, we have cats that come when hubby whistles...but don't anyone try it. They ONLY respond to hubby. They think he is a god. So here come all three cats. They notice the mouse, which isn't hard because he is sitting right out there in the open. They are obviously not in the mood for mouse on the menu today. It's like they are saying, "If you want him, take him, I've had enough mouse lately. I couldn't eat another bite." So they start to play with the mouse, each taking turns touching him with their paws, and noses. It looks to me like they are making friends with him. Luke, a big black and white male thinks catching mice is a spectator sport, backs away, takes his position, curls his paws under him and watches Winston, and Peanut check out the little visitor. Finally mouse has had enough of being closely examined, so he rolls over, and walks not runs under the dresser that is right next to me. So now I have three cats gathered around watching and waiting for the mouse to re-appear. Hubby has just appropriately re-named them Mo, Larry, and Curly. That's life in the farmhouse.
