I just hope that they have eaten their lunch. I have not one thing in this house that is vegan...other than a pan of brownies. Speaking of which I asked my bff AI what do I replace eggs with in baking. And she told me to use one quarter cup of unsweetened applesauce per one egg. So seeing as how these had to be vegan I did just that. And guess what? They turned out beautifully!!!!
I have the table set, for three days now. There probably is dust on the dishes. But as I have said before if you get it set early nobody dares put stuff on it. And so that was one thing I didn't have to do today or yesterday.
The last time they were here Tandy cleaned my whole house. I am pretty sure she was doing me a huge favour but it also it crossed my mind she felt it wasn't clean enough to sleep and eat in. I do not want my guest, especially special ones feeling like they need to clean my house. If I can't keep up with my house I might as well tromp over that rainbow bridge that is getting brighter all the time, right now.
I must say though as I am packing garbage bags up and out onto the deck to wait for Shane's next dump run, the house is getting a wee smidge better and easier to keep up with. There is still a long long way to go. Next on the list is all my clothes. I haven't culled yet. But its all laundered and in three Rubbermaids and two laundry baskets waiting to be decided upon...fold and put away or garbage bag for the thrift shop.
I think the next cleanout has to be the laundry room. OMO!!! (that is Oh My Ohm) you should see it. There is a small buffet, giant organ, many many Rubbermaids of stuff, bags of stuff, two whole walls of cupboards full of stuff. It never freaking ends. That room should be called I WILL DECIDE LATER! And now it is full of decisions. I know somewhere in there is and unopened box with a Tiffany lamp in it that I bought six years ago from Overstock. Never opened it. Isn't that what hoarders do? I would like to say I am ashamed but I am not really. When you think of it three people with homes full of stuff moved into this little house. And we all brought our stuff with us. Lots of stuff.
Well I am not making dinner this time. I can if there is a second person to entertain guests whilst I am in the kitchen cooking. Monte doesn't talk. He feels that 99% of what people talk about is not necessary and not relevant. He isn't into small talk and niceties. I would like to blame his autism but I don't think thats it. Right now his bipolar is more prevalent...snarky might be the word. It's a down time. The up time is scary so I am okay with cranky.
That being the case I am ordering Indian food. They are masters at making their dishes vegan so that will be easy. We will have a nice big feed and brownies for dessert.
Now when Kathy comes I am giving her the choice of a prime rib roast I have in the freezer or vacuum packed salmon. I shall wait for her response and do the one she likes best. Or both...surf and turf! Mmmmmm....rich brown gravy all over my miso glazed salmon.
Well thats it for today. They aren't here yet but I will do one more check on the house and go hide the vacuum cleaner!!!! Pics tomorrow by themselves in their own post. TTYL & TFL
