Interruption...by our Fourth Roommate.

Today's regularly scheduled blogging is interrupted by the fact there is a mouse in my bedroom.  Not just in my bedroom, but it has been in my bed. 

A few weeks ago, I reported on facebook & twitter that we had a mouse in our apartment.  While I was home, my roommates caught it, but realized we had TWO mice.  We haven't seen or heard from mouse #2 in a while, but today while I was cleaning my room, I found him.  I pulled out the top drawer of my dresser and put it on my bed.  the mouse jumped out and ran under my covers.  I screamed like a baby.  It eventually ran under the bed, so I put one of the traps with peanut butter under my bed and closed my door.  I also stuffed towels under my door b/c it has a large gap so that the mouse cannot escape for food.  Hopefully this works. 

In the mean time, I'm watching a movie and having a drink to calm myself down. 

While Googling "how to catch a mouse", I cam across this, which I find a little ridiculous:

"Be sure your state/county does not have a law prohibiting 
you from killing the animal. Some states, like NJ, have laws 
that protect rodents from in-humane capture/treatment/death. 
Check with your state's ASPCA first before attempting the 
method above. Otherwise, you could be fined and/or jailed for doing so."
