Anything that's dark and large in this house gets a little extra love, especially at night when the lights are low.

The 18th's comic was a little personal, just for me. I'll skip it for now.

Vintage 80s turquoise Calvin Klein corduroys, be still my heart (but also be still my entire body because they were one shoe-tie away from popping at the waist).

Proof:

If you're ever in Frederick, Maryland, hit up my long-time favorite vintage shop on Patrick Street, Venus on the Half Shell! I've been going to her shop since I was 16 and it never fails to make me regret not buying something later.

(Additional Frederick recs: Cannon Hill Place and Old Glory Antiques, where I went after my Venus trip and found a $2 wool sweater, a perfect pair of black slacks, and a classic softcover edition of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and spent less than $14 for all of it.)

Luke and I hadn't been to the bath house in Berkeley Springs since before Covid lockdowns! That man loves a spa.

I don't know if other spas are around the same price, but our visit felt CRIMINALLY cheap for what we got. Here's the menu (like most services in Berkeley Springs, you kinda just have to call old-school on the phone like it's the 90s).

If you like licorice and cold fish, boy have I got the place for you.

Tbh there is a HUGE lack of information online (according to my shitty search skills, that is), but I went down a Wikipedia rabbithole, gasping at all the different styles I could find!

(My dear friend Laura Mae Socks has a little EP of covers coming out soon!)

Pang reassured me later that Mazzy LOVES to pee outside, so this was preferable and less of a hassle.

Aaa! We live literally two blocks up the alley from Venus on the Half Shell! It’s one of our favorite window-shopping spots—really need to go in one of these days…

Oohhh lucky you!! If you see a friendly blond lady at the register, that's Jennifer, the owner - let her know I sent you!

Hugh Eckert

We love love love the Roman Baths at Berkeley Springs... going to go next month on my birthday weekend and I can't wait!

They’re going to Finland? They don’t need licorice from Denmark 😁 (seriously, have them bring back a fresh package of Kouvolan licorice and tell me it’s not the best you’ve ever tasted)

Amy Crook

Go Mazzy, get permission to be your weird little girl self. They did ask the question for the preferred result! ;) Also, I sympathize with "is this a cat? I will pet it just in case" nighttime shenanigans. In this house, though, It's almost always a cat. XD

Patricia Rodriguez

Haha! I would totally be lying awake wondering why I didn't let them in either. 🤣 Thank you for sharing!

dcorsetto

Oooo ooh enjoy!! And happy early birthday!

dcorsetto

WHAAATT thank you for this tidbit!! (Most licorice has wheat in it, which I can't have, so I'm not getting my hopes up... but I'll ask them to look out for it anyway!)

Are you sure that that heater didn't go "purrrr" instead in the last frame? ;)

D'Nealian workbooks are one of my strongest memories of first and second grade

Besides, the nitrogen is good for the garden!

Finding good pants is such a blessing.

Never met a woman who prefers to pee outside. Conversely, I've never met a man who prefers to pee inside.

Iitu Ducin

Ah bummer, they do indeed contain wheat :(

M Aidan

Outdoor peeing is always either awesome or horrible, there is no in between 😁 so good for you, Mazzy!

dcorsetto

Aaahh! Thanks for checking on it for me, and saving me tears!

Guy Serle

I start to pee inside, then run outside....no one invites me to their house anymore

I fell down the rabbit hole of print hand when my niece was learning to print a completely different way than I learned.
