Too Snarky For Her Own Good

All about stuff I feel like writing about. Or not. Sometimes I waffle.

Don't bet against the mouse...

... because the mouse always wins!

Okay, not always. But this time it did. Valerie and another coworker and I put together an entry for our department's (faux) pumpkin carving contest and we won in a landslide. Almost half the total votes! Go Team Slow Loris! Er, I mean, Team Mouse House!

(We totally thought this cool, creepy Medusa pumpkin would win. You have no idea how bouncy we were when we found out we were wrong.)

Mouse house

I did the windows you can see here, plus the little mice made out of Sculpey.* Check out my curtains. Not bad for someone who can't sew a straight hem, huh? Our coworker did the door with the cute little wreath.

* Or, as a (different) coworker said, "polymer modeling clay." I guess that's why she's the Executive Director and I'm, uh, not. (Hint: It's because I am way, way less detail-oriented.  And stuff.)

Hey you kids -- get off my lawn!

Check out Valerie's adorable Venetian blinds! And the plaid awning!! Go ahead and admit you're about to keel over from the cuteness.

Trick or treat!  No, really -- you don't want me to nibble my way in there...

I am on the floor. It's beyond wonderful. If I'd had a vote it would have gone to you.

PS. I have snow peas! Enough for a meal! And my citrus/port flan is just out of the oven!

Well, Freyja and I are about to pass out from the cuteness, anyhow. Katja is downstairs, so she is missing out on it. Did you do that again this year? The fake pumpkin carving contest?
