More Random Thoughts On A Monday ~ Aka : Of Mice And Me

Well, it’s nearly Tuesday, but what the hell. I’ve had another typical “me” day and though it may not be as exciting as the last post of my random thoughts ~ again, what the hell.

So, I was out surfing the net and had nothing in the form of interesting email. I keep looking out for one from the BBC like I’m betting on the lottery! But, alas, there wasn’t even a penis enlargement ad. I did a quick search for this gift plaque I’d seen briefly in a mail order catalog and discovered there’s tons of sites with the quote, but couldn’t find the plaque I’d seen. Don’t ya hate that??? But, while I looked through the search results I was amused to see the number of websites who tout God, yet, have this quote that includes the word bitch. Huh.

I seriously had nothing to do today. So, I was quite pleased when IG asked me if I’d write something for her other website. Now, I swear, I did actually read the whole message! But, after finishing the second piece a little voice in my head said “She asked for 5 or 6 lines on each ~ NOT a bloody novel! She also only asked for a brief review, NOT a rant on Tipper Gore or issues to do with the media!” That’s when I told the voice to shut up and asked why it insisted on speaking with an Icelandic accent anyway??? Apparently, the voice in my head is Bjork. Adam Sandler gets James Earl Jones, I get a tiny little white woman!

While sitting in the car, I kept fussing with my bottom lip. *sigh* I’ve done something VERY STUPID recently. It began innocently enough. The changing weather has my lips dry. So, Friday (also while online) I absently bit on a piece of dry skin on my lower lip. We all do it ~ no big deal, right? WRONG. By doing so I created a teeny, tiny cut. It only stung for a second and I forgot about it almost immediately. The next morning I awoke and discovered my lip was swollen. Uh-oh. It seems that a combination of the teeny, tiny cut and the coffee cup I’d only rinsed out, but not technically washed all week has given me an infection in my lower lip. I’m pretty sure it’s the flesh eating virus.

The evening went pretty smoothly and I got to watch ‘Heroes’ in relative peace for a change. I believe it’s largely due to the fact that Nella-bean’s newest favorite prime time show is ‘Chuck’ and I put down the laptop to watch it with her as promised. She fell asleep during ‘Journey Man’ and I was left to listen to music before sailing off to the land of nod myself. That is, until I saw movement under the comforter. *shiver* It was a mouse in the bed! YUK! I jumped up and began beating the bed with a box of hot cocoa. I didn’t actually see it, but it was gone by the time I shook out the blanket. I can’t wait to move! Personally, I think the foiled sneak attack was brought on by a soon to be post about their evil cousins ~ the squirrels. They somehow knew I was about to let the world in on the conspiracy and like an actor on a writer’s picket line, they are proving their solidarity! God, I hate rodents!

So, it’s late and I need to get to sleep. How the hell does someone fall asleep when there’s been a mouse in the bed??? Thank God for unisom!...........I’m still keeping the lights on, though.
