This time when he came out I told him that I have been finding evidence of some mice here and there, so he set us up with a couple of old fashioned mouse traps that he baited with some new fangled cheese flavored gunk that comes out of a can much like the Cheese Whiz does. If I didn’t know any better I would swear that it is Cheese Whiz. Whatever it was, it is working. Each trap that he placed throughout has trapped a mouse and since I grab an old rag and pick up the dead mouse stilled in the trap and toss the whole kit and caboodle in the trash we now need to buy some more traps to set up again and hopefully we can get this mouse situation tackled in short order.

It is a “sign of the times” is what everyone keeps saying, since the economy tanked out many years ago, folks are getting more desperate as the days go by for money and the amount of break ins done by people who have little else to fall back onto is increasing like crazy. With all of these break ins more folks are having come and install security systems in their homes, properties and businesses to try and prevent these tragedies from happening and if it does happen they might have a better chance of catching the crook and bringing them to justice and maybe even possibly get their stuff back. There have been a lot of new yard signs being placed in people’s front yards announcing that they have an adt security system in place, which is supposed to be a deterrent to break ins in itself.

With the holiday season approaching, I’ve made a resolution for myself. After years of dealing with the crowds and standing in lines, I have made a decision. I am going to try to find every single gift that I give online this year. I have scouted out credible websites, and I’m pretty sure I can do it. You can seriously find almost everything online these days, and my gift list is no exception. I have ordered magazine subscriptions, home goods, clothes, accessories. I even ordered a subscription to satellite TV through www.direc4u.com! I didn’t have to worry about one single line, and I’m much more merry this year! Every gift just came right to my house, too- so I saved on gas! When I went to go checkout at one of the websites it gave me twenty percent off and free shipping. It’s almost like you don’t even have to pay tax! I think I’ve found a new way to shop for Christmas gifts! I suggest that everyone that is sick of manning the lines do the same thing!

I wish I had my own room and my own PC, I would go in and lock the world away. I guess just about every woman feels that way at times. I mean having her own room for what ever reason she needs it for other than a place to be alone, unbothered.

We looked into internet providers Middleville and decided to finally get satellite internet. I love that I can do so much on the internet. I knew about internet shopping, but didn’t realize how much you could really buy off of the internet. I started ordering all of our bathroom tissue, paper towels, and non-perishable food items from Amazon.com. They have really great deals and if you order a certain amount of money worth, you can get free shipping. It really gives me a lot more time because I am not running back and forth into town. Lastly, I have been able to order specialty groceries that I cannot get in town off of the internet. I am of Lebonese descent and love to cook the traditional food. My favorite snack is stuffed grape leaves. Now I order the grape leaves and make them all the time. I am really glad that we decided to get satellite internet. My husband is glad too, because he loves all the wonderful dishes that I have been cooking because I can order the ingredients off the internet.

I’ll be staying home handing out candy to the neighborhood kids that come up each year. Hope it is nice weather for them, it usually isn’t raining, but it can get chilly when the sun goes down and all the ghosts and goblins come out!

Looks like I need to make a run to the local Petco and find our puppy some new chew toys to keep him occupied with something other than our personal stuff around the place. I have a Petco card and a few coupons that they sent me so today I’m running a bunch of errands and Petco is first on the list.
