Dan and I spent a good portion of the evening moving furniture around the living room and cleaning the 55 gal saltwater fishtank (Ok, Dan did all the fishtank cleaning, I just helped push it from one wall to the other). This was after 2 days of snow plowing/shoveling. Needless to say I'm pretty beat and coming down with a cold to boot.

After Dan left at 9:30, I took some cold medicine and was sitting on the couch watching a little tv. Out of the corner of my eye I see something moving on the floor along the baseboards.

It's one of the hamsters.

Oh, didn't I mention the hamsters? Yes, the girls each got their very own little hairball as a pet for Christmas. They live in separate aquariums in the family room (which is the back of the house, with the dining room in between the living room and family room). They sleep all day and run on their little hamster exercise wheels all night.

Anyways, I spent a good half an hour chasing this little monster back through the dining room, into the family room and then around every piece of furniture and toybox. He finally made the mistake of scooting into the side of the cardboard box that holds the LiteBrite. After dumping the LiteBrite and a few dozen LiteBrite pegs on the floor, I managed to get him back in his aquarium.

To get the full hilarity effect, picture me after taking cold medicine (feeling a little loopy), wearing Dan's oversized houseslippers, running through the house alternating between trying to keep up with the rodent and not stepping on him.

Is the weekend over yet? I need to go back to work so I can sit down and relax.
