I hate having people at my house. Isn’t this supposed to be my safe harbor? My husband has invited company over on Thursday night. He informed me yesterday night. So I have two days to try and make our house look half way like people live here and not a bunch of little piggies. This is going to be hard. Time to buck up and get to it. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to buy a new CD it’s always easier to clean when your rockin right?
Yeah shopping for a cd…a great way to procastinate. I think I’ll call my Mommy and go to lunch with her too. If I play this right I might be able to put cleaning off until an hour or two before we have company. If I cleaned it now it would just get messy again and I’d have to do it all over right?
Okay I see that there are flaws in that logic. The main one being that it will probably take a heck of a lot more then two hours to clean my house! I think I’ll start with some Scissor Sisters and then what… Any suggestions? What do you guys use for your get up an go music?
Better get to it. I don’t think I can get away with wrapping the house in tinfoil and putting a closed sign on the door. You wouldn’t want to enter a house like that would you? I mean I would think contamination right away. There’s an idea I wonder if they sell quarantine signs anymore, I don’t think a handmade one would strike the kind of fear I’m looking for. I really don’t want company, can you tell. Maybe I can call in sick and hide upstairs with the covers over my head while Ben and the kids entertain them. ,What do you think?

LOL! I hate having company (not my friends, but “company”), too! My get down and clean artist is Bob Seger. There was a time I would have run away with him if only he had asked. Rock and roll never forgets.
I used to put off running the vacuum cleaner (okay, I never had any intention of running it) until about 20 minutes before company arrived, then the exDH would freak out and do it.
I like Korn or Red Hot Chili Peppers to clean the house to. But if you want something with just a little less anger, check out my friends in a band called Seven Sharp Nine. The guys are super cool and really great musicians. I highly recommend “Laundromat” or “Mellow”. Go to http://www.sevensharpnine.com to check them out.
KORN!!!!!!! That’s what’s one my site right now…. I like all sorts of music…Lily Allen is a good one, so is Lady Sovereign, they are both brittish….3 days grace….Gnarles Barkley’s Crazy always makes me sing…..Then of course you have Seether….. Like Seether…. Ummm Sexy back makes me wanna dance, so do the pussy cat dolls mixed with a little bit of Snoop Dogg…. Okay…. so I am a MUSIC WHORE, and could list songs and artists all day long…..

I use Wilco, or Uncle Tupelo, or Jeff Tweedy. not much variety there.
and I hate people at my house too. did you help me pay the rent? no? then you shouldn’t be here.
man, that sounds harsh when you actually say it out loud.
you’re invited to my house whenever you want to come over, man. but I’ll make fun of you for having been in Frankenmuth.
RYC- Thank you, that did make me feel better. It was very sweet.
If they have never been to your house before, then I suggest this: Go to the hardware store and buy some new house address numbers (incorrect ones). Put them up in place of the correct ones and enjoy an evening alone.
there you go, nothing like the flight of the bumble bee cleaning at warp speed! Works for me!
Haha… you’re hilarious… My friend Natalie was dating this guy in Cali and went out to visit him. He said he cleaned his place expecting her arrival. When she got there the place was disgusting. She almost puked when she saw the shower. Luckily she was just visiting his place and actually staying in a hotel. Needless to say they didn’t spend much time at his place. But the moral of the story is that she saw him in a whole new light. And that’s not someone you want to date (when you have a totally different idea of what “clean” is).
Have fun cleaning your place!
Cheers!
Rock so loud it scares the dust and debri away
Oh and houses are supposed to look lived in so dont stress it too much…. if someone says something tell them they are free to come over and be your maid service
(say it with a smile)
I actually dont like the ultra sterile meticulously clean house it tends to make me uncomfortable…. just not friendly enough.
Have fun.
