Raining
It's raining today. I'm not terribly fond of that. In fact, when walking through the rain to the building this morning, as cold cold rain was hitting my head, I said outloud to myself, "This is really annoying."

Not Houdini
Yesterday, after I had left for work, Alison decided to take the trash out to the street for the truck to pick up. In the minute it takes to do that, Nina turned the little locky thing on the inside of the door, locking Alison out. In her pajamas. The ones with the cats on the paper thin pant legs.

Alison tried to get Nina to unlock the door. And Nina tried to unlock the door. Alison heard Nina trying the locking mechanism, but realized it was a lost cause when Nina resorted to knocking on the door to get it to open.

Alison went next door to Kurt and Melony's house and called me. I zipped home and opened the place.

We had just started Nina's "dance tape" (a tape I made with songs from her favorite shows) so Nina was either playing near the window Alison was outside of, or dancing in front of the TV, which does include Rolling Down The Sand Hills.

In the afternoon, I took Nina to the playground at the mall. I forgot a sippy cup, so Nina got to drink about 8 oz of 7up. She was in a great mood that night too. I went and got Chinese food (hot and spicy beef).

Overall, besides the minor crisis, it was a pretty good day.

But, yeah, today it's raining and just plain sucks, at least weatherwise.
