Guys, I've got very little to talk about today. I patrolled my usual sources for content to steal, and I came up with nothing. I couldn't find any interesting quiz results to post. I'm out of recipes for the moment. Blah...
I finally got the house cleaned. Is there anything worse than scrubbing the linoleum? Not in my world. But there I was, on hands & knees, scrubbing away at the kitchen floor. I swabbed down the shower doors (disgusting). Matt cleaned up the yard and has been monitoring the still-smoldering burn pile. By the way--that's what we do with our lawn junk in rural Idaho. Got lots of branches, leaves, wood panelling from your dining room? Set it in the backyard and light that mother on fire. I think we're ready for the realtors to start showing the house. Come on, money-grubbing investors! Bring your filthy lucre to Cascade and invest in my future!
We're heading off to house-sit for two weeks, so I know our place will stay clean. We really do hate house-sitting, but we somehow manage to get roped into it every time. It's a nice house, but there's just something about not being in your own home that makes things uncomfortable. Plus, we'll be taking care of two more dogs, Sam & Max. Sam is an unbelievably needy golden retriever, and Max is a belligerent, bullying yellow lab who can bay like the Hound of the Baskervilles, particularly at 2:30 in the morning.
On the good side of the column, we'll be paid handsomely for burning these folks' natural gas heat instead of our own firewood, drinking their wine, eating their beef, and soaking in the hot tub. That will come in handy for our upcoming holiday junket to see Matt's family in Wisconsin. We're driving. Can you think of anything more fun to do over the holidays? I mean, who wouldn't want to drive halfway across the country in the worst possible weather to hang out with your in-laws for two weeks.
Sigh...sorry. Don't mean to be such a wet blanket, but I think I'm dealing with some, "Ohmygod, I really hope this house sells PRONTO," stress. Blah. Blahblahblah. Okay, have a great week, guys. I may not get to update every day, since we don't have internet access at the other house. But I'll be checking in. Promise!
