Party time

LizaLiza

We’re having a little BBQ get together here on Saturday. This will be the first official fiesta we’ve had at the house, and I’ve got to say there’s a bit of scouring and cat hair removal to do before everyone arrives. Thankfully I don’t feel particularly invested in the state of the yard. I’m a traditionalist; the dead grass reflects on Eliot (and the unending drought.) My plan is to ply the party goers with alcohol so they don’t notice the finger printed windows, — or don’t remember them. Yes, I realize my house is not a reflection of my worth as a human being — and that my friends don’t care. I’ll repeat that to myself as I battle the cat hair bunnies into submission.
I’m supposed to do four hours on the Alter G tomorrow. I’ve got to figure out how to download an audio book onto this iPhone.

    I’ve been living on bachelorhood cleanliness standards for a while. A friend was going to stop by, so I did a thorough cleaning and then he called and said his girlfriend was coming with him. That required a second cleaning; once over is enough for guys, not for women. I don’t think that even then they were overly impressed.

      I decided to move the party to the park down the street. Bigger grill and the bathrooms were already clean. 🙂
