Practice makes perfect.....post on....
That pervert deserves to be castrated publically with a dull knife then hanged, drawn and quartered-that is the sickest thing I've ever heard.
Four days early-now I could have done a lot of sprucing and shopping in four days and not have had to bust my ass like this, not to mention loosing a 1/2 days' work by having to rush right home and clean instead of doing my billing...
what possessed them to come early???
i feel like conducting my own quorum call...Mr, Dupa, Mr Reaper, Mr. Dubya, Mrs. Garden, Mrs. 5, Mrs. Tioga, Mr. Michigan...
wait - do you think we are in your quorum, or harem?
i loved calling you Mr. Dupa just now!
i suggest the absence of a quorum in the classroom, that's what prompted it!
Usually the classroom is plagued by an absence of decorum
I have no idea, because they were supposed to stay with the daughter in Brownsville for a week-they were going to New Orleans on the way for a few days-hubby's sister had never been there-so they must have cut that short.
let's have the yays and nays? mr. dupa?
and I am voting on.....?
i don[t know, i'll decide that after i hear your answer....
Oops-that post to myself was supposed to go to you-I called hubby and told him not to leave the city without going to the bank unless he plans to put dinner on plastic.
I'll go yay then. Been a yay kinda day.
i am sure it will be fine once they get there and you will enjoy their stay and they will love the house and think everything looks fantastic, but i am just like you and i don't like surprise guests, i don't like changes of plan and i always get worked up over houseguests, but in the end it is just me being nutty for no reason. you will have fun, and tomorrow you can shop and plan. family should be easy enough to please, shouldn't they?
If her lips were moving, she was lying.
she was moaning your name...
I don't like surprise guests or changes of plan, either, and I always fret over company, too. We've always had a great time with hubby's sister and her hubby, but I'm now I'm fretting because they are city people, and have not visited us since we moved to a rural area-we lived in the 'burbs before then and there were restaurants, shopping centers and all that within a mile or two-I'm a bit afraid they may be bored.
if they get bored, they can always leave SOONER.... it isn't up to you to keep them entertained, they are coming to visit, so you will be hospitable and visit and if it isn't exciting enough they are free to move on!
If that ho' was moaning (which I doubt) - you can bet there was a Reno nearby.
