But sometimes it takes a moment to hang out on top of the patio blinds, spying on unsuspecting doggies down below.
And, of course, not five minutes later, Fatty McFattypants (AKA Polly) decided that she could climb on top of the blinds, too. I had to get a chair and rescue her, because she got to the end and couldn’t turn around or jump to the floor. I’m hoping she learned her lesson, but I doubt it.
It rained on and off all day, and since I was stuck at home waiting for the city inspectors to re-inspect my now-correctly-placed fire extinguisher, I spent a good bit of the day napping. It was GOOD. I did manage to finally get my phone updated, so I at least accomplished one thing. And the good news? I can now get mail from my website on my phone. There was some sort of glitch that wouldn’t allow pop mail from my web host to work with the iPhone. There was a work around, I think, but I was too lazy to figure it out. It’s working fine with iOS 5, though, so that makes the effort it took to update worthwhile.
That’s how long iTunes is predicting it’ll take to download the iOS 5 update. And that’s after it took over an hour to update iTunes to the newest (required) version. Something tells me I should have waited until tomorrow to do this. What the hell was I thinking?
So I’ve been playing with my food. And by food, I mean candysnacks.

We used to have plain M&Ms in our candy machine. But that was way back in August, and because we can no longer have nice things, the plain M&Ms and the Milky Way bars were taken away from us. I mourn their passing, as they are far superior to peanut M&Ms and 3 Musketeers bars. (New and “improved” 3 Musketeers, I might add. Apparently “improved” means “twice as sweet, half as chocolatey, and tasting vaguely of rancid cigarettes.” Nothankyou!)
My “to be read” pile is filled entirely with spinsters and pioneer women.
The wild columbine didn’t bloom this year. I thought it was dead, because I didn’t see a sign of it all summer, but then it suddenly bushed out this fall. Weird little plant.
These were rounded up yesterday and are now sitting by the freight elevator, waiting to be taken to the loading dock and surplus.
I have no idea where this came from. I still have the clarinet I played when I was in school, but it’s Bakelite and this one is wooden. It’s a mystery!
You couldn’t ask for prettier weather. Well, I suppose you could, but it would be silly.
Red, orange, and yellow peppers were 10 for $10, so I might actually get a chance to see if it’s possible to get sick of them. I am dubious. There are few things better than slices of crispy, sweet peppers. They’re the perfect snack.
