No he is not cute... anymore. I thought he was gone, but no such luck. And the other night I accidentally left pasta sauce out on the counter, and I woke up to little tomato sauce foot prints all over my house.

what's wrong with mice? They're cute and furry.

if you want to get rid of it, just get a few cats. I have four that need homes ^_~

I told you I would take Aura, as soon as you get that ramp built. :p
Now I am all itchy. Do mice carry fleas? I would assume so.

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 08:40 PM

Yes, mice can carry fleas. It's probably all in your head, though.

Why do I have to build the ramp? Why can't you build one on your end? Hmmm?

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 08:47 PM

Sigh, but I live no where near that lake. I can build you a raft so you can cross the Atlantic ocean though.

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 08:50 PM

How would I get to the ocean? You're probably closer to the us border than I am to the ocean.

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 08:52 PM

I am kind of close to Maine. Does that count?

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 09:04 PM

That WOULD be the us border, yes.

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 09:07 PM

:p :p I know that duhh! :D I meant close to you? I was more or less being sarcastic.

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 09:16 PM

Nope, Maine is not close to me. Not as far as the ocean is, though.

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 09:19 PM

I didn't think so. Back to plan A.

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 09:36 PM

But what good will the ramp do if you're nowhere near the lake?

Alty · May 9, 2010, 09:37 PM

I'm telling both of you, I have a plan and it will work.

Bella and I pack a few things and head over to Heaths. While there we party until we puke or pass out (whichever comes first) and then at the end of our fun filled weekend, Bella and I each leave with a kitten in our pocket.

Plan?

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 09:43 PM

Hey that works for m!e

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 09:48 PM

sounds good to me ^_^

Okay, I have to ask this simply because hubby wants to know what all of you are going to say about it. Before I do though, hubby is not looking for all of you to change my mind, he's perfectly fine with it, he just wants to see how normal people react. Ya, I told him you all aren't normal but he won't listen.

Anyway, as most of you know I'm not a Canadian citizen, as such I have to get a German passport if I'm to travel anywhere other then Canada. The only way I can get a passport at this time is to go to Victoria. I've been putting this off because it's not a cheap trip and I'd really rather not go alone. Also, I'd have to stay for at least 2 days, it's not a one day trip. Sadly, hubby and I can't afford to go on a romantic weekend to Victoria because we have these two things called kids and no one to watch them.

So, I've been putting this on the back burner for a very long time. I have no valid passport right now. :( I really want to get this done, not because I plan to travel, but if I need to, I wouldn't be able to. I don't like leaving things to chance.

Well, yesterday my buddy in LA called. He's an ex-boyfriend but we dated when we were 18, very long time ago, and we remained friends. He's one of my best friends. He comes to Canada to visit because his son lives here and we always get together when he does. Hubby and him are also good friends.

So B (buddy) calls and we get to talking about him coming up here which he will be in August. Then he mentions that he has to go to Victoria in the beginning of July (Actually on hubby's birthday) for a wedding. I jokingly said that I should meet him there, I could go with him to the wedding and get my passport renewed while I'm in town. At first it was a joke but we started talking about it and it's a really good idea. We could share a room so that would cut costs in half. July is actually a good time to go, the flights are pretty cheap. Also, he's the kind of person that can be dropped into any town and find his way around. I have a hard time finding my way around my own house. He'd be handy to have along.

So I told hubby and he agreed that this was a good plan. Then I mentioned that I'd be going on his birthday and he started to laugh. When B was here in February for 4 days the only time we could get together was on Valentines day, so I went out with my ex for Valentines while hubby stayed home with the kids. Now I'd be going on a 4 day trip to Victoria with my ex on my husbands birthday. Hubby is finding this really funny and wonders if normal people would be shocked or also laugh.

Are you all still with me? Rolling your eyes yet?

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 09:49 PM

Well, it's almost 2 am here. Time for me to hit they hay! Night folks. Talk tomorrow.

Aurora_Bell · May 9, 2010, 09:53 PM

Wow. That's... a situation. So as long as the two of you are comfortable with the idea, than there's no problem. I can't say I would feel comfortable with my husband sharing a hotel room with his ex. However, I understand what you mean about you dating a long time ago and with that being said, I don't think I would feel comfortable with my hubby sharing a room with ANY woman.

How come you can only get your passport renewed in Victoria?

hheath541 · May 9, 2010, 09:57 PM

Hey, as long as he doesn't have a problem with it, then why should we?

I would suggest, however, trying to arrange for someone to take the kids overnight (or at least for an evening) the weekend before or after his birthday and having a date night for just the two of you. Not only will it celebrate his birthday, but I'm sure you don't get many kid-free nights.

Actually, I totally trust hubby to stay in a hotel with another woman. I'm a flirt, so is he, but one thing neither of us would ever do is cheat. I couldn't live with myself if I did and hubby's just too darn lazy. ;)

Victoria or Toronto, those are my two options. Victoria is closer and the flights are cheaper. There's a new fingerprint thingamajig in the German passports now and only Victoria and Toronto have the fingerprint machine available. You have to be there in person to get it done. It's a pain in the arse.

We do have a German consulate in Edmonton, but no finger print machine. It's some kind of digital high tech thingy.
