Battling nature & conquering our fears... while Dad laughs his ass off !!!

My Mom and I went up to the lake house a couple weeks ago to get it opened for the summer. As usual, there was some evidence of animals that had gotten inside. There's nothing you can do about those little critters when the house is vacant all winter. Well, before we went to the grocery store we checked out the status of the kitchen. My Mom pulled a drawer open and we found this little guy. We both freaked out a litttle, and then realized that we needed to get down to business. After debating about whether or not to call in the neighbor for help, we looked at each other and knew that Dad was surely cheering us on and would think it completely histerical if we couldn't do this on our own. So, my Mom came up with the idea of opening the kitchen window and handing the entire drawer through the window. So that's what we did, and placed it on the front porch. The tiny little guy crawled out of the drawer and immediately went under the deck and back into the kitchen!!! At that point I declared war. We set up a mouse trap under the sink and in the same drawer. I had some cheese from our sandwiches that I used to bait the traps. We left for the store and I was pretty confident this whole mess would be over by the time we got back. When we returned, I checked the traps. No cheese... no mouse either. The little stinker was able to get the cheese and get away!!! So then we put some peanutbutter on the traps and by the next week when my Mom went back up, she caught one... but it wasn't the same mouse! Ugggghhh!!!

Congratulations Hil !!!

My sister has officially been hired as Artie Lange's personal assistant. He is the comedic sidekick on the Howard Stern show. Hil really went after this job after she heard that he was looking for a new assistant. With one look at Hilary's resume, he hadn't even met her and already knew he wanted her for the job. These pictures were taken after her interview with Artie a few weeks ago. Her spunky personality and quick wit will be perfect for the job. She is already making the arrangements for a gig Artie has this weekend. GO HIL! You'll be GREAT!!!
