I know I’ve been MIA for a few days, and I must apologize. I’m having one of those “When it rains, it pours…” kind of weeks. Our doggy had knee surgery last week and, though she is doing well, needs a lot of attention and hasn’t been sleeping well. So, as a result, we haven’t been sleeping well, either.

On top of all of that, we discovered mice in the house last week, as well. In fact, I first discovered the mice just a few short hours before we were headed out the door to take Yellowdog (Did I mention that’s our doggy’s name? She’s a yellow lab.) to the Baltimore/WashingtonDC area for her surgery. At first it was just mice in the basement/garage, and then I spotted some evidence in the house, too. Needless to say, I’ve been scrubbing every inch of the house (especially the kitchen – it’s never been cleaner, mouse or not) and trying to find all of the mouse “vulnerabilities” so that we can get rid of the unwelcome furry visitors.

Let’s just say that I haven’t been coping with things very well, and in the midst of all of the chaos, I totally forgot to announce the winner of the my giveaway. I’m finally getting around to it now, though!
