I've always thought it was a bit lonely in our house, but now I may regret that statement. Kristi and I got a new room roommate this week. Or actually, I think it has probably been much longer than this week, but we didn't know. Let's call him... or her... Beatrice.

I first came aware of beatrice at work yesterday, when I went to go eat a delicious fruit roll up (which by the way has totally revamped and now actually contains fruit!) And noticed nibbling marks. ANd what horrors me is that I almost just ate it anyway! Then I realized that that wasn't too normal since it was packaged in plastic and on our second shelf up in a big box. Ugh. I quickly threw it away and hoped that it was NOT what I suspected. Elyse then gave me one of her fruit roll ups. She is so nice! Working with her is the best!

On with the story. When Kristi and I got home we pulled the box out- bags and bags of chips had been chewed through. Beatrice prefers the normal potato chips and plastic bags apparently. Also torn into: our giant bag of oats, rice and the other large box of lunch snacks. Poor little beatrice must have been so hungry! And is probably now so huge!

That was a lovely experience. And by lovely, I mean Kristi and I were very tense pulling bag after bag out of the box, wondering what we would find in the bottom. But Beatrice is yet to show her pretty little face. And I will be okay if it stays that way. We did find more solid evidence: when Kristi pulled the dresser away from the wall there were several mouse droppings behind it.

Beatrice, our roommate, is making herself at home.
