Mini-post

Well, since there has been a recent surge in blogging activity due to threats by a certain mother-in-law of mine, I will “mini-psot” although clearly she hasn’t forgotten I said I wouldn’t post all the time.
Tonight Justin and Alicia will be coming. I’m excited and I know we’ll have a great time. Whenever guests come, it means we get to have cheesesteaks and to those of you who haven’t had one, they are amazing. Cheese whiz is the best thing to come to fried beef and bread. I’m going to think of some options, and I will leave most of it up to them, since it’s their vacation.
I don’t remember if I mentioned it last time, but Bryce and I have been hitting the gym pretty hard lately. Although Bryce believes I didn’t have much to lose, I have already lost ten pounds. I’m down to 145, so Bryce and I weigh the same. The same as my husband who is half an inch taller than me. So anyone who thinks I didn’t have much to lose must think he’s got some to gain, or are crazy. My goal is about 7 more, although muscle mass will make that hard. I’m pretty muscular for a girl, and muscle weighs more than fat, so i will settle for inches in the right places. If only I could stand doing abs.
I’m also in that place where it is time to start applying to jobs. Most jobs are government, and although they are accepting applications through the end of October, the interviews won’t be til Nov/Dec, and the job won’t start til next spring, so now is the time to find one for after school. Also, if I find one that starts next January, I can substitute a job for my internship requirement (although it takes some pleading). So wish me luck, and if you have any contacts in criminal laboratories, tell them you have their next awesome employee and direct them to me!
Also, we have mice. And I don’t mean the ones in cages, although I wish I did. I like my apartment, but between me and my cats, we have caught three. I haven’t caught one in 4 days, so I may have caught most of the population, but we will just have to see. Although it may seem gross, they are really cute, and the cats have gotten to live like real cats, hunting something other than bugs for awhile. So, having mice isn’t all bad to me.
Time for class!

Mice? Sick. My roommate and I were just complaining to each other because we killed two spiders this morning.
Mice. Yuck yuck yuck.

“I’m pretty muscular for a girl” meaning you’re a wimp.

Looks like Bryce wants to join the couch party tonight. Also, update: i caught a fourth mouse today. The first two I caught were females, the third was a young one, and the fourth was a boy, so I’ve rounded out my collection but I think there are more to go.

Couch party? Sounds like a lame party to me. I’ll pass.
We should start a biggest loser competition. But Bryce would probably win, he’s a big loser the way it is! Oh SNAP!!!!!!!!!

If by “have any contacts in criminal laboratories” you mean “have any fond memories of CSI when I used to watch”, then yes I do!!
Oh, Grissom. So sexy. I’m serious about my testicles.

Linds you are the only person I know that catches a mouse and keeps track of what sex they are. I take it you are not on the second floor or higher. Also remember I had a disclaimer for you and your blog activity.

For every 2 mice you find you better buy a new cat. Then they will get wiped out for sure.

Well, I am on the second floor. And I caught a fifth mouse, also a boy. The sex of the mice is kind of important to the number I might catch, but also i am curious. They are also very easy to tell apart. Either they have teats or testicles and a penis. So, if you look at them for even a few seconds, it’s easy to tell. Now that everyone knows I’m a rodent pervert, i might as well give the secrets of the trade.

Did you learn that at CSI school because every dude has testicles and a penis and girls have teats. Mice aren’t the only things that are easy to tell apart gender.

Nice David, nice.
