I take that back because then you'd need a mouse colony starter kit to feed them and trust me on this, you do NOT want to go there. The cats will never keep up and then you'd have to collect them all and give them to that neighbor you don't like. Right about when I'm unleashing the hell hounds.<br /><br />You should let Chloe answer the phone more often. <br /><br />Driver's license. Rats.

Festive enough, dammit.<br />My kids are total opposites. So when they began to drive one was a lead foot, the other found it overwhelmingly scary!<br />Leadfoot thought I was nagging, telling him to back off & leave space between him & the car in front of him. He ignored me. Then he got a moving violation ticket for *following too close* & that raised his ins rate. He was paying for his own insurance, so it was his lesson to learn. That kid always had to learn the hard way!<br /><br />I hope the job comes through for you!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-70441830880805817872011-12-15T20:21:43.674-05:002011-12-15T20:21:43.674-05:00Best of luck on the job!

The good news is that my face is very warm from the seriously small dab of Irish Cream and also cooking a mondo large pot of chicken soup. We're occupying our own small soup kitchen here. If eating soup for several days is poverty, it's a very rich form of it! <br /><br />Hope you all have a commodious holiday. If that word means what I think it means.
