life's little suprises

The other day, we got the storm door put up on our kitchen door. Finally, we can leave the kitchen door open and keep the bugs out. The door is all window, in one big frame. Monty, my puppy, became immediately excited when he saw the kitchen door open, and ran for the great outdoors. Unfortunately, the storm door was still shut, and he ran smack into the window, and bounced back. Cocking his head in confusion, he stared at this strange new phenomnon that seemed to magically keep him from escaping to the great outdoors. He's pretty smart though; he's figured it out. He hasn't tried to go off charging through the door anymore.
Well, that'sgood.Besides stories of the pooch, I had fun at work today - being mischeivous. I was looking on the camera and saw the coworker pulling up, and couldn't resist having one over on him. He's usually teasing me about something. He works in maintenance, so I thought of something horrible that every maint. man would dread -- how about the sewer backing up in the men's bathroom? Muhahahhahahah! Well, anyway, I called, and told him with a straight face that it was a disaster in the mens' bathroom that something was wrong and the sewer had backed up and there was a mess everywhere. I tried to sound properly horrified. He was properly horrified, and resigned himself to the fate of cleaning it up.
He showed up about ten minutes later. Coincidentally, he was not laughing. "Very funny, Nora," he said, with an expression on his face that said something like, "revenge is sweet..."
So that was my day. Oh, well, I called people about coming to the Home Interiors Party I'm throwing and of course no one can make it as its a Wednesday night -- and since I told the displayer that weekends worked best but she doesn't like working on the weekends, there ain't much I can do. I know, I know -- you're thinking, "Home Interiors? Home Interiors? -- as in a bunch of people gettting together for a rather Martha Stewart-ishy kind of meeting? Right then. It really is fun though. :P
