So here I am, doing the dishes all calm like, when suddenly, I feel something crawling over my leg. One of the mice has got loose! She learned how to open the cage by herself. I knew that day would come. Now I have to come up with new and inventive ways of keeping them in there.

*stumbles in*
Birthday!.. Tequila... Presents... baby mice with newly opened eyes.... old english poems.... penguins!...
*crawls out*

Our guests are leaving in a few hours. I wonder what will happen after that. The anticipation of the visit was kindda what was driving me these past few months.

Off course in the time honored tradition I must get sick sometime before my birthday. We've hit the beginning of the rainy season and I have 7 new babies.

As previously advertised... Also, a short vid about what the things do when mom is away.

Hmmm.... Have just watched KKBB. Yep, that's a goodly film. Also read roadstergal's KKBB fanfic. I do wish she'd write more. With more slash. *cough ( Read more... )

More babies. 10 this time. They are like clockwork: three weeks - bam! I suppose by rights I should keep them separated, but I just don't have the heart. They look so sad when they're apart poor things. Anyway, I like having the babies. They're cute, and funny to watch. Makes me happy every time. New life born in my room, isn't it cool?

I gave away the babies today. It wasn't nearly as hard as the first time, but still - not fun ( Read more... )

Well, now I have a cat. And 13 mice. Interesting combo. My mom came up with a way for it to work, though. It involves me sleeping in the living room. Where the big TV is. And the Red Dwarf DVD's. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

I've forggoten how beautiful the cat is. Every time I see here she's more gorgous.

Our friends are going on holiday, and leaving their cat with us.
( So starting next week I have this gorgous creature )
