How many of you watched The Walking Dead last night? Oh. My. God. That episode had me on the edge of my seat the entire hour and a half. There was one scene that I found so frightening that I actually had to turn away. Masters of suspense. Unbelievable. I think what is so scary about this series is the fear of what might happen, because they established very early on how dangerous the walkers are to the living.
At one point during the show we heard some movement in the kitchen. Something moved the cookie sheet I had laying on the stove. Jeff gets up and stands in the doorway between the kitchen and livingroom and flicks on the kitchen light. I watch his eyes scan around, then move back to a spot on the stove. Then he starts chuckling and shakes his head.
He says that just the eyes and ears of the mouse could be seen peeking out above one of the burners, just behind the cookie sheet. The mouse took off pretty quick, down into the burner, so he must have a hidey-hole in there.
My little guy and I baked cookies earlier in the day. Those cute pre-cut halloween shapes? Yeah. Apparently Mickey or Minnie likes them too. There was a cookie lying on the burner, which he'd gone and stolen from a container (covered in Suran Wrap which was barely disturbed) on the counter next to the stove.
Strong little bugger. Brave, too. But I guess you don't get anything if you don't take risks, right? He failed this time around, but I know that he's robbed us of food before. Important lesson from the little free-loader.
Don't Give Up!!
Got about 9 pages done this weekend. The story is moving along nicely, and surprising me each time I write a scene. The characters are really coming into their own. Each time I don't feel like writing, or I feel pissy because book sales bite the fat one, I'll think of Mickey/Minnie!

You've really been mouse-plagued recently!
Can't blame the little feller, though... I love those cookies, too.
Haha Jeff! If you were closer I'd bake you some :)
