I went outside with Tootie this morning to throw a ball around. Cooper decided it was too cold, so he stayed inside. I knew I was only going out there for a minute to entertain her in lieu of a walk (it’s snowing, that means to hell with a walk), so I was only wearing sweat pants, a t-shirt, a hoodie and sneakers. No socks.
When I went back to the side door to go in, I noticed the door was locked. Just the glass screen door, though. Cooper was on the other side begging to get out (he’s fickle like that), but I couldn’t get the door opened. I had accidentally pushed the lock latch on the screen door and was left out there to freeze. Cooper continued to whine and scratch.
I stood there for a full two minutes trying to decide what to do. I had no phone, no keys, no coat, NO SOCKS. How was I going to get to work? Snow accumulated on my fist as I gripped the door’s handle. In a fit of frustration I yanked backward, cursing my awful luck, when the screen popped open to a warm home.
Damn, I’m glad I wasn’t locked out. Today just got a whole lot more awesomer.

that’s funny. ian actually did lock us out last night. i was in my pajamas and his shoes. lucky for us, the upstairs neighbor had a key.
Must be something in the air, I locked myself out of the house Monday morning wearing just my bathrobe and shoes. Thankfully I learned from the time before when I locked myself out and had to bribe the little boy behind me to come over and crawl through the doggie door. I have a hidden key.
I’m checking your page every day for the next chapter of Restaurant chronicles….Damn you I need a fix!
honestly, it depends on what you mean by crystal pepsi. the original that tasted like pepsi, or the later version that was an attempt at sprite.
Oh, wow! How lucky! I would have been upset if I had been locked out. That’s one of the things I’m very conscientious about whenever I lock my front door, because I know I’m the only person who has a key (other than the rental office, and who wants to deal with them except when absolutely necessary?). :)
so no panties huh
I am keeping fingers crossed for snow this weekend, I want to see Cooper and Tootie snow pics (or video)!!
I meant to ask you when I saw you a couple of weeks ago if Cooper was still doing the constant whining thing, or if you’d found out anything about what was up with that.
