It is so wrong to just never want to have to remove a dead mouse, if in fact a dead mouse exists? I need to go check the trap but I want no part of it…at all. But that’s my job, right? I’m head mouse killer.

===5 minutes later===

AAAAHHH AHHHHAAHHHHHH!!!! I don’t want to be the head mouse killer! I saw that the trap had been sprung (this trap hides everything, so you just need to look to see if the metal thingy is up or not) and it had, and I freaked out. I considered calling my dad to come get it but that would have fed into the whole “helpless Jody” thing. So I grabbed a couple of plastic shopping bags (one to use to get the back box, one to put it in…and the little tail was sticking out! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I almost dropped it, but I think that would have given me a stroke right there in the closet.

He’s gone now, but I have lost my appetite. I may not eat for days. Gah. What a big baby I am. *washes hands for the 4th time*

Here’s the one thing that bothers me most…people REUSE these traps?

Ya, I thought I’d share with you why I’m glad I wasn’t out on the highway this morning.

I was actually out in it, at the Dentist’s office. It was helpful for taking my mind off the fact that I was at the dentist. It was a long slow ride home but I just fired up a fake log in the fireplace and Junior and I are playing a little Animal Crossing. Just another day in New England.

p.s. No cavities for either of us! Thanks Crest!

Hey, Lynn Hoffman, late of Mix 98.5 must have been googling herself earlier this evening, because she found my site and left a comment that yes, that is her on VH1 Classic. Am I good or what? Of course you’ll see by my reply that I was feeling a little guilty about my earlier post, and I felt the need to explain. See, I loved listening to them, and then suddenly, it seemed like they were making Lynn into the person who had to act dumb so Lander would seem smarter and/or have a reason to explain things. This is a made up example, but if Lander wanted to talk about the Brady Bunch they’d make her say something like “you mean there was a program about two blended families that had to get along with only one bathroom for 6 kids?” See? Like you KNOW she knows that, but she had to pretend she didn’t so Lander could say his schtick.

Anyway, this is why I told the reporter from the Fitchburg Sentinel that I don’t badmouth people on my site. People actually READ this damned thing.

You old-timers will remember when every update to the Dump contained a Lord of the Dance Update. Well, let’s remember those days fondly with a current update: Yahoo! News – Woman Sues Flatley for $35M, Claims Rape.

No dead mouse yet. Exterminator just showed up at the house but I was gone. Don’t know why he did that, I want to find out how much this will cost, first. I don’t want him to drive all the way here and not have me home (which is what happened) either.

Oh, non-mouse stuff: You’ll have to wait for today’s kiddie story. Also, working on editing the NanoNovel still. I haven’t removed any characters….yet. Although part of me thinks one whole plotline (and the grandmother character) may have to go. Not sure yet.
