Poop

The window was open, and I was sitting on the couch with my laptop doing some work. One wiener dog was perched on top of the sofa assiduously surveying the neighborhood. The other wiener dog was curled up by my left arm, napping. Then, SOMETHING HAPPENED. Either someone tried to break into the house, or [...]

iPad, iPed, iPet

Bits and pieces for today. 1. At first I was completely underwhelmed by the iPad. Halfway through the press conference I was thinking that unless this thing sucks my toes and makes me cookies, it is just a big iPhone with more firepower and no phone. But, the more I see of it the more I [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Orange Pants Edition

The first Misbehaving Tuesday of 2010 has been a great success. Highlights: 1. I overslept, blissfully. 2. Orange pants! 3. As I was walking up an aisle in Whole Foods, a woman walking toward me with her cart stopped abruptly and stared at me. “Your hair is beautiful,” she said. “It’s a beautiful style. Perfect for your face.” [...]

Notes from the Car

1. I bought a Hopkins clingy today, which I very carefully affixed to my rear windshield… upside down. I didn’t realize this until I got out of the car and looked at the window. How did I get into this school again? 2. Today I was on Cold Spring Lane, waiting to get on 83, when [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Argyle Edition

My clothes don’t match today. As I was getting dressed – pink toenails, purple open-toe flats, black and gray argyle footless tights, olive drab miniskirt, purple shirt, black sweater, denim jacket – it occurred to me that I would have loved this outfit when I was sixteen, and I would have worn it all the [...]

Prey Tell

I was getting ready to leave for my second class of the day, with nothing left to do other than bring Max in from the yard. The rain had started a moment earlier, so I figured he would be on the porch ready to come in. Instead, when I looked out the window, I saw [...]

And the Heat Goes On

It’s official. Not only did the heat go on for the first time this season, but even more telling, the space heater is in use, if only to keep Max warm as he recovers from his ass bugs. (Will this teach him not to eat poop? Doubtful. Did the emergency vet trip in State College [...]

It’s Misbehaving Tuesday

One Tuesday over the summer, I was doing my usual Tuesday thing – work, maybe a little cleaning, making a grocery list – when I was beset by a strong urge to misbehave. Quite suddenly, the best use of my time very clearly became wearing some tawdry heels and sitting outside in Fells Point having [...]
