Who Moved My Cheese?

KenTak3, Bruno, and I decided to hang in last night, for a calm, disruption-free, Saturday evening. While we were all quietly enjoying our lovely lettuce, chicken, and Thai peanut salad from Fairway and watching Lifetime movie with Patrick McDermott (Dr. McDreamy) and Kimberly Williams-Paisley (former sorority sister and bride of "Father of the Bride"), KenTak3 spots little brown mouse dashing along the kitchen wall into the bathroom. Below are subsequent events over the next few hours...

9:08 PM
KenTak3: "I'll keep an eye on the mouse and you go get sticky traps at the deli."
Mamacita: "Ok. What are you going to do if he runs by?" ...but really thinking "How brilliant, KenTak3, you are to observe mouse running through apartment while I venture out in the hood buying useless sticky traps."

9:15 PM
Mamacita (arriving back to apartment, with sticky traps in hand): "What is mouse doing now?"
KenTak3 (reading Golf Digest): "Hiding in the corner of the bathroom."
Mamacita: "Let's take out all toiletries to get ready for bed, brush teeth in kitchen sink, put sticky traps in bathroom with cheese on them, and barracade bathroom door with textbooks."
KenTak3: "You are always so genious, Mamacita."

6:02 AM (waking early for Sunday golf outing in NJ)
KenTak3 (after investigating bathroom): "Mouse is still in the corner."
Mamacita: "Unfortunately, looks like we need to cancel golf outing to deal with mouse. Let's line the exit to the bathroom door with all 10 sticky traps so mouse has nowhere to exit.
KenTak3: "Ok. You are always so genious, Mamacita."

6:15 AM - 6:28 AM
Mamacita: "There he goes, there he goes!! ... Get him!! ... Die, you nasty !^&%$#*, die!!"

...Wrestling ensues between KenTak3 and mouse...

6:34 AM
Kentak3 exits apartment to dispose of mouse sandwiched between 2 sticky traps in Fairway plastic shopping bags.
Mamcita: "You're my hero, Kentak3."
