it's morning.. well actually afternoon. jeremy and i are trying to wake up my brother, john, so we can go out to eat. we're going to tu hai..some asian restaurant in downtown ft. worth. our plans were to go see a movie but there's nothing really good out right now. the only thing i'd be vaguely interested in seeing is The Sum of All Fears. I'm going to wait for one of my LJ friends to do a review on it. hehehe.

okie doke. still not much to report. i started a story at work about dessy and her adventures with a magical mouse. you can read it if you want. it's a children's story so far.



it was a cold winter's night. dessy and tigger were curled into little balls on the queen size bed in the middle of the room. mommy and daddy were not yet home from their outdoors adventure. dessy opened up one of her eyes and glimpsed around the room. she spotted tigger stretched out on the middle of the bed, his head propped up on a pillow. she got up slowly and stretched her self out with a great big yawn. tigger gave no notice of her movements. she licked a little spot of smudge off her coat and slowly sauntered over towards tigger. she licked his ears and then plopped herself down next to him. against, tigger's warm coat, she dozed off into sleepyland for another hour until she heard a noise coming from under the bed.

dessy arose slowly.
"is there anyone there?" she whelped.
"rattle rattle," came a noise from under the bed
"tigger," dessy whispered, "are you awake?"
tigger stirred slightly and groaned, "leave me alone."

dessy, being the curious cat that she is, made her way slowly to the edge of the bed.
she gently climbed down to the floor without make a peep.
she poked her head under the bed.
she saw something move slightly and then stiffen.
dessy crept down low to the ground and glared with intent.
the thing made a dash for the door and dessy pounced after it.

it hurdled down the stairs with dessy on its tail.
with one final pounce she landed on top of the mysterious noise maker.
"get off! get off!" a tiny voice shouted!

dessy lifted one paw while keeping the other on it tightly.
underneath her, squirming like a rat was a tiny mouse!
"a toy!" she exclaimed and proceeded to toss the mouse between her paws.
"sto-o-o-p!" yelled the mouse, "pl-e-e-a-s-e!"

dessy poked her nose into the mouse smelling it closely.
"my toys usually don't make noises like this. what kind of toy are you?" she asked
"i'm not a toy! "exclaimed the mouse.
"then what are you?" dessy yelped with curiosity.
"i'm a mouse!" cried the little one.
"i know you're a mouse. what kind of toy mouse are you?"
"no, i'm not a toy, i'm a real mouse and you must let me go!"
"but i'm not done playing," cried dessy.
"please, i beg you. you must let me go. i will show you very fun things
if you let me go."
dessy peered closely at her talking toy. she thought it odd that this toy
was able to talk and she was very interested in seeing the fun things the mouse
spoke about. she slowly pulled her paw off the mouse. it leaped up and shook itself
of loose fir.
"aah, that's much better." sighed the mouse, "now where was i?"
"don't forget, you are going to show me fun things." dessy reminded.
"come with me." the mouse hurried up the stairs.
"wait for me!" dessy leaped up after him.

with one quick dash, they both disappeared into the darkness under the bed. tigger
arose slowly making a gaze around the room. he yawned and plopped himself down onto the bed. he rested his head on his paws and gave out a sigh. dessy had gone off again. he had no intention of moving from his spot to find out where she was. he wasn't that curious of a cat. ....to be continued.
