Can you believe October is over? Eek!
- I’m trying to decide which is worse: Mouse turds on your desk or having a mouse peak at you from the pump well when you’re sitting on the toilet. I haven’t decided which because each time I convince myself one is worse I rethink the whole scenario.
- Fall truly is here in full force. The drive to work is almost dangerous because I have to remind myself to keep my eyes on the road on not looking at the beautiful colors.
- Does Costco sell industrial size, large quantity mouse poison boxes?
- Lunch is very yummy today….Chicken Corn Chowder (from a can but it’s still good). I have yummy chicken in the crockpot at home for tonight.
- I’m craving pizza. I have been since Tuesday night but still haven’t had it. I couldn’t justify calling to order pizza delivery at 9PM Tuesday night and haven’t been able to order it since. I’m thinking I might get pizza for lunch tomorrow so I can finish it for dinner.
- About that mouse…. Did you see my full body shudder?
- My sister arrives a week from today, my nephew a week from tomorrow. Don’t worry, he’s not flying alone my mom is coming with him.
- Speaking of which, I think I better work on that room this weekend.
- I’ve decided to attempt to toilet train the cat. I’m almost at the “tough” part so we’ll see how this will work. It’ll sure be nice to not have to deal with kitty litter any more.
- I need to find some Clorox wipes to disinfect my desk. I don’t want to get Hanta Virus, food poisoning this weekend was bad enough.

Have you ever been excited to pay a bill? Like so excited you did a happy dance when you signed the check? So excited that you had a celebratory lunch when you dropped the check off at the bank? No? Well, I have. In fact, I was that excited today when I made my VERY LAST car payment. That hunk of metal and rubber sitting outside is mine. ALL MINE!!!! (And, yes, I’m doing another happy dance just typing that!)
What a relief.

So, I have some random things to share. Or, rather, it’s Friday and I haven’t posted in a while so I’m going to post 10 Random Things for a Friday.
- My sister and nephew get here three weeks from tomorrow. Their bedroom isn’t ready yet and I’m struggling with getting it ready.
- Tonight is slumber party night, only my slumber party guest fell asleep at 7PM. Luckily I was able to wake her up because what’s a slumber party if the guest of honor is asleep.
- Cheese French Fries are best eaten with a favorite niece. LOL I took Ally to Applebees a few months ago and she tried a mozzarella sticks. I didn’t know what to call them so she’d try them so cheese french fries it was….she ate three tonight AND her macaroni and cheese. LOL
- Gold really is best, at least according to a four year old. I took Ally (yes, it’s an Ally day) to Claires to buy her some earrings for when she can take the studs out. Of course, I was planning on spending about $5. No, she had to have the 14K gold ones because “I love gold”. Dude, how do you even know what gold is?!?!?!? Good luck to her Daddy. LOL
- I signed a new client today. WooHoo. We get started the beginning of next month but still, WOOHOO!
- I’m already dreading tomorrow morning when the guest of honor wakes up…she seems to think early is a good time to wake up.
- I never realized how difficult it can be to take a 4 year old to the “movie store” (aka Blockbuster). They have way too many choices of movies I really DON’T want to watch. But, sucker that I am we ended up with “The Last Unicorn” and “Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses”. Do I get an award or something?
- I started in a new home group a few weeks ago and last Saturday we started a new women’s group. I’m absolutely LOVING both. It took long enough but I think I finally have a group I am going to love.
- I started an online Bible study this week. It’s really good, for the most part (meaning the last two days talked a lot about being a wife and the role of a wife but…). Anyways, if you want to check it out it’s True Woman: Now is the Time.
- Tomorrow is stamp club. WooHoo. I need to find and bring my paper cutter. I say find because it’s one of the things that has been “stored” to clear out the spare room for Tami & Rider so I need to find where I “stored” it.
OK, it’s almost time to turn off the Barbie movie so the early to rise kid can get some sleep tonight.

Yeah, I don’t have kids but I’m a cat mom to an annoying great cat named Jeeves. I always hear moms talking about their kids following them around and how they can “never even go to the bathroom alone”. So, can I be a mom for a minute?
OMG, this cat follows me around EVERYWHERE and won’t even let me go to the bathroom alone. Seriously, I think there’s some invisible velcro that attaches the two of us somehow. It’s crazy. I thought it was irritating great when I was working here but the poor guy misses me so much now that I’m not here during the day. I just wish he’d learn to play with his toys during the day and not sleep the whole time so he’d sleep at night when I sleep.
But, I have a really funny following me around the bathroom story for you. Seriously, it’s HILARIOUS. But, first I have to tell you what happened right after I got him. It was late and I was getting ready for bed and went to the bathroom. When I got up he decided to check it out, jumped up and landed IN the toilet. In the unflushed toilet. So, at 11PM I got to give a kitten a bath.
So, now I am really careful about closing the lid as I get up to save myself the torture task of pissing off bathing my cat. So, the other day I got home from work and the velcro cat followed me into the bathroom where he proceeded to sit on the tank lid so he could be closest to me (I guess winding around my legs wasn’t close enough). So, I got up when I was finished which startled Jeeves causing him to lose his balance. I heard the commotion and turned around worrying about the bath that would soon follow only to see him close the lid AND flush the toilel on his way down from his precarious perch landing gracefully on the lid and staring at me with a very proud stunned look on his face.
Yes, I have a talented cat.
Oh, and for the record, I am very close to being done with my Christmas shopping.

Seriously, seriously over. You don’t believe me? Check out the temperature when I woke up the morning.
And, in case you don’t know how to read my indoor/outdoor thermometer the number on the left is the outside temperature. The number on the right is the inside temperature and the number on the bottom shows how early I was up this morning.
And to prove that my thermometer isn’t broken…
It’s even time stamped for you. You do notice the date, right? OCTOBER 9! But, that’s not the best part. No, check this one out.
Need I say more? But don’t worry, it’s not the first flakes I’ve seen this “winter”. I saw two Monday night only I’m in denial on those.
I love Idaho, I’d just love more than one season in Idaho.

I am a self-employed virtual bookkeeper. I work from my own office assisting companies around the nation with their bookkeeping needs. I love what I do and love the businesses I assist. I live in the beautiful Idaho Panhandle. I love to share tales of my life in the north.
