I've traveled to hot countries. I can deal. But it's different when it's your own turf. Here, it just shouldn't be this hot.

Yes, it is too hot.

Went to the local theater this morning for the free movies. Saw Journey to the Center of the Earth. They're on tomorrow too, so we'll go see the other offering. Yay for Thornton Place cinema!

But I've got Food and Snack on my lap. Wish I had a camera nearby 'cause they're so cute!

Snack (brown mouse) has figured out how to escape from the mouse house (aka an IKEA storage box). So, I need a new mouse housing solution. I do have a cage I got from my SIL, but it needs its wheel removed as the wheel is hamster size and thus dangerous for the mice.

I'm loving the mice. They're so cute! If I put my hand into their house, they climb right up. I've got them on me right now--one on my lap, the other on my shoulder.

The meeces are doing well, the kids are really gentle with them and the cats haven't yet eaten them. Sweet husband commented to me this morning "you know, if you'd asked me if we could have rodent pets I would have said NO" and I just sort of batted my lashes and simpered, which always works you know!

Well, we're now the proud owners of two little mice, named Food and Snack. Food is an albino and Snack is warm brown.

but every place I try is out of Cadbury creme eggs which are the only Easter candy I really like.

I am enjoying Nora Roberts' Key of Light on audio, read by Susan Erickson (who also reads the JD Robb mysteries). Also enjoying Mary Balogh's Then Comes Seduction. Also reading an interesting book by the son of one of the founders of H&R Block on why he resigned as CEO of H&R and became a teacher.

Watched it last night with sweetie. Wowza, that's one hell of a good movie. Especially if you like South Park and have seen Apocolypse Now at least once. I can't remember when I've laughed so much.
