adding insult to injury...

as if it's not enough to get rejected by Mickeyplace (i am sure it's coincidence or karma, or both) but we have mice in the house - again. (i refer to them as Mickeys, obviously named after a more beloved mouse)

last year around this time we caught about 10 of them one by one, setting traps under the sink with peanut butter (i had to play nice and share MY jar of peanut butter, cuz i'm about the only one in the house who loves it).. (funnily enough, back home in Mtl my dad used to roast cuttlefish/squid on the stove as mouse-food... he thinks they love the scent of roasted cuttlefish. even though our mice went after our bag of rice at the time. it's funny how much time and labour of love my dad poured into food for the mice)

the Mickeys have just started visiting again, and i'd be seeing a tail~ or two as they scurry across behind the TV to find that nook between one of the stairs and squeezed itself through to their nest.

i opened the pantry and realized the mice has dipped into anything carb i had in there - extra bag of flour, flexseed flour, oatmeal, rice noodles, coutons... threw away all of them, i guess the mice are just trying to help me maintain a low-carb diet!!!!!!!! not only did they take the food, they also left souvenirs, and even poo-ed on the vaccum cleaner, adding insult to injury.

i think they're cute as long as they don't visit my house. Or eat my food. Or carry diseases.
my fave mouse is still Gus-Gus from Cinderella, which happens to come out in a week on DVD.
random thoughts, but speaking of DVDs the Family Guy special DVD is supposed to be out today...
