Oh, I sort of like mice.
They are cute and when they get those little whiskers going - oh my!
It doesn't help that every children's book anthropomorphises mice, an affliction that I suffer from at the best of times, sentimentalist that I am - don't even GET me started on what I think is going to happen to our old van that Barry sold on the weekend....
I mean, my kids and I read the True Meaning of Crumbfest every holiday season for years...
But the cool weather has invited the mice back into the house and so they must be dispatched. We live in the woods, and yes, we ought to use a live trap, but that's not what Barry bought, and so the silence of the mice has begun....
I will get over it (I always do), but my conscious is not clear this morning....
How were your weekends?
We went out to dinner for our 28th wedding anniversary. I won't rave about the dinner, since it wasn't rave-able. However, the company was good (as it has been for 28 years) and I got to use my Kate Spade clutch, I Married Adventure, which no one likely noticed but me, but I didn't care because it made me laugh.
Yesterday, I wrote a short story and then did some reading and we had an early supper as son had to work at 5 and we thought it would be nice to have supper together. Lamb chops and Tabbouleh - yum!
I managed to snag a couple of cheapie items last week from Joe Fresh that are perfect for hanging around the house writing.
The Joe Fresh cotton terry sweatshirt dress is comfy and soft, soft, soft. It comes in blue and steel grey at my local store and I bought them both @ $29 CDN each. A close-up of the neckline and hem below.
Am wearing with my trusty and old Cole Haan suede/leather riding boots and leggings, as it was actually quite cool when I wore this on Friday.
Yesterday, I wore a Ruth outfit:
This is a faux-leather jacket I picked up last spring at H&M, a long sleeve black and white striped t, jeans and Cole Haan patent leather loafers, with of course, my Ruth scarf!
Today, I am writing, running errands and I think I will clean the fridge. It is time to start the fall cleaning and this house certainly needs it....Have a great day and stay safe out there!
