I spent way too much time online over the weekend and have achieved only around 5% homework, and most of that consisting of wandering around google scholar for a little while and printing out a couple of articles. I've got my last ever class on Tuesday and then it's less than three weeks until I'm finished for good. I really do need to knuckle down, don't I?
I won the dress I was bidding on eBay, and for less than my maximum bid. I'm very pleased about this because it's a great dress and they were selling for around $300 new. I kept to my plan of waiting until the absolute last minute to bid, but you should have seen me. I was practically shaking from the effort to not bid until the last five minutes, and after I finally did put in a bid I was obsessively refreshing every few seconds until the auction ended. I just hope the damn thing fits me now! But if it doesn't, one of my friends at work said she'd take it off my hands. She had the same dress and basically wore it to death so she'd be happy to have a replacement, even if it is a different colour.
My weekend has also been strangely filled with pumpkin, firstly via the date and pumpkin muffins that I made on Saturday, and with the pumpkin soup I made for dinner on Sunday. I still have more pumpkin. Maybe pumpkin risotto might be the go for dinner one night this week.
But I had an absolute panic attack this morning as I was getting ready for work because I discovered that my office keys were missing! Eeep!! I couldn't remember seeing them at all over the weekend, and they were in none of the bags I usually use. I think I did a personal best riding to work this morning, and you have no idea how relieved I was when I saw them sitting on my desk.
Oh, and on the Mousey Mousey front, it's time to bring out the big guns. The cleaver little bugger has worked out how to get the tasty morsel I leave on the mouse trap without setting it off and I found droppings on top of my fridge again this morning. I have moved the fruit bowl to the very top of my cupboards so there's no pears to chew on, but short of borrowing a cat for a few days I think the only other thing I can do is go with the lethal substances. Not my preferred option, but I have no desire to be over run by mice.
Anyone got a cat they can lend me?

*gives you cat icon* but I would buy a mouse bait. You can get the no-exit traps, or the little blocks of Talon, which is what we used when we had a plague. It makes them thirsty and they go outside looking for water, which means they don't die in your cupboards. I've had pet mice in the past, but I can't tolerate the pest version of them, especially when they dash over the loungeroom floor and nibble their way into the cheese-flavoured rice crackers.
