It Rained Today

So today I bought an espresso/cappuccino maker since I miss having cappuccino all the time like I did in Italy. I just made a mug full. It's not as good as Gabriella's but i need practice foaming the milk. The little attachment makes it really easy, but the instruction book proved to be right when it said it would take some practice. I might need to invest in a coffee bean grinder now, because fresh ground beans are better, but we'll see. Rex might have one that I can borrow occasionally - we'll see.

And since my mouse seems to have continued to chew up my underwear my mom bought me 3 new pairs of my favorite kind (maidenform perfect fit with comfort waist band - or something like that) - one black, one nude pink, and one bright dark pink with black mini poka-dots! I find it really disturbing that the mouse only wants to eat holes in my underwear. He will not touch any of the food i leave out for him in the trap, and even after i started being really careful about leaving clothes and things on the floor (which was as soon as i found out i had a mouse) he still managed to chew up another pair. I know because i checked them all one day and on Sunday discovered a whole new pair he'd attacked. It's really disturbing because he chews up the dirty ones, and then they get washed and then thrown in the draw and then i don't notice that they are chewed until later in the day when i go to the bathroom. Why does it take me so long to notice that one of the layers from the crotch is missing (very rarely does he actually chew all the way through) What does this say about me? What does this say about my mouse? I feel kinda dirty like my mouse is a gross old man that gets off on my underwear. It's not like he ruins any other type of clothing so it's underwear specific. Maybe i should sacrifice a pair to the mouse trap - maybe he'd fall for that one. (Peanut butter, chocolate, chocolate and caramel, and cookies have all failed. It was only Hershey's chocolate but i came really close to sacrificing good German chocolate for the cause - i couldn't' do it. I did however sacrifice what turned out to be my last Reese's peanut butter cup.) I think that's what weirds me out the most is that he only eats holes in my underwear. Like okay so i know it's normal for women to have secretions during the day, but for mice to consider it food? I have an over active vagina/uterus? Is there something wrong with me? Is this just a mouse that was a dirty old man in a past life? I mean the silver lining here is that he thinned out my thong collection which was getting pretty massive, but i lost a bunch of my favorite pairs. (the blue ones with the starts on the strap that moved, and my 2 pairs from Victoria's Secret.) But a bunch of tongs that probably needed to go got thrown out too, so whatever i can live with that. However this mouse has made me super paranoid. Any rustle, little noise, anything really i freak out and stop what I'm doing and listen for him. I can't leave anything on my floor ever, not even like a backpack. (up side my room is always super clean) but I'm terrified of what kind of damage he might do while I'm gone for a whole week. Stupidly i left all my stuffed animals on my bed. worse case scenario is i come back and all my precious animals (snowman, Pluto, Meg bear, pigmie, etc.) have been chewed to bits and/or there is mouse poop everywhere! I'm surprised i haven't had any anxiety dreams about him yet. Although he as me worried enough during the day that at least he can stay out of my head at night. I really shouldn't have to live with a mouse. I like to tell people that I'm trying to kill my roommate.

I met Adam at Applebees for half price appetizers today. That was fun. I didn't get to see him over winter break. He was hiding from us i think since he started dating Rosanne again. She only came up once, she is taking care of a baby cow for class, and since she was somewhere else Adam had to pick one out for her. It's a cute baby black and white spotted cow. We talked about school. He paid for the whole thing, i mean it wasn't very expensive since it was just two half price appetizers, but still, he wouldn't let me pay. That's Adam for you I guess.

Tomorrow Sam and I are going out for dinner. I called Karrie to see if she could come, but she is having her wisdom teeth out tomorrow so that's a no go. I'm kinda nervous since last time I went to dinner with him we ended up hooking up and it was awkward. Hopefully he knows that I can't date him and we are just friends catching up. It would be nice also if he didn't try to pay for the whole thing, although i feel like he might. I hope it's not an issue and we both just split the bill like normal people, instead of me being like "no, let me pay my part" since that is always awkward. I don't know when or where we are going, he's going to call me during his lunch break tomorrow and probably wake me up.
