THE CALVARY HAS ARRIVED!

HOORAY!
The exterminators arrived on Saturday morning-actually, it was just one person, and it was a girl. But she had all the cool exterminator stuff. Ruby thought she was the greatest, though, because she had peanut butter in her bag and Ruby loves peanut butter.
She chuckled at my feeble attempts to spray insulate the mice out, and said I probably trapped them in. She smiled sweetly at our crappy traps that never caught a mouse. Then she pulled out the big guns. She told us to call her on Tuesday with a "head count". Yikes. So this morning, we caught one in the drawer under the oven. We caught a lizard in the garage, which I was not happy about, and made Mark go set him free. Minus a little skin on his belly, he was released. We didn't look in the trap in the crawlspace, and quite frankly, I don't want to. Mark will check it tomorrow.
Other than that, this weekend was quite uneventful. I got cancelled for work on Saturday(love that) and had no plans, so after the exterminator left, I went for a 2 mile run, than we just hung out, did some reading, cleaning and Mark and I went to see "The Hangover". It was funny. Then we went to The Boathouse, a restaurant on the water. We ran into some neighbors that we just recently started to talk with, so we stayed and had a drink with them. It was fun. Courtney and her friend stayed home and babysat for us. This morning I got up early and went for a long, 4 mile run, it was great. Caren and Steve made the Sunday night appearance for dinner (yeah god!). We made pizza's and jalapeno poppers. Not very healthy fare, but tasty nontheless. Not such an exciting weekend, but fun is just around the corner. Next weekend, Brandi and Alex will be here and we are going to mom's for the 4th. That's always a fun party-then in 3 weeks-vacation in St. Kitts! Can't wait!
