Mustard seeds

After a hectic week at work, we were faced with a mouse invasion on Friday and I may have shrieked three four times (twice in the middle of a conversation with the former dean of the law school). After calling the maintenance guys, who then called the exterminator, I closed the office and my assistant and I went home. I mean there are limits.
Thus began my weekend.
Luckily good news from Netflix arrived:
I have been waiting for season two! I watched it this weekend and it did not disappoint. I do love Andy and Lance.
I also had fun going to the Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden with Becky and Carla on Saturday. After driving around looking for a place to park and finally scoring, we found “more than 120 food producers and crafters offering baked goods, fresh and dried flowers, herbs, handcrafted items, baskets, wooden toys, custom jewelry and more” in four big tents. The rain threatened,
but never materialized, so all was well.
I bought a jade plant.
I went to an estate sale after church on Sunday and bought a couple of books and a Christmas present for someone–yes, it’s time to get serious about that. I puttered around and then the boy and daughter #3 came over for dinner.
A good weekend and now it is back to work. Cross your fingers that the mice are gone, gone, gone.
Not so cute in real life.






That illustration is CUTE! Glad you had a pleasant weekend 🙂
Sorry, but thinking of you shrieking makes me smile. Remember:
“Sorry to disturb you. Mrs Farnsworth saw a mouse, but she’s better now.”
“She just saw a mouse?”
“No, outside. But she relives it.”
I hope you don’t have to relive the experience at work today! 🙂
HAHA–I thought of that too! I do relive it. The exterminator this morning said he never saw a mouse and there were no dead ones in the traps…the implication being I suppose that we are just crazy women…
UPDATE: The guys at the advertising agency next door took a video of one of the creatures streaking down the hall, and they think it was a shrew!
We had shrews at the camp once. They are the stupidest creatures imaginable. But kind of endearing that way.
Love the jade plant!!
