staging, the downfall

Mild summer cold. Check.
Letting young artists have free reign of the dining room table. Check.

Hubby caught up in a novel, needing downtime. Check.

VBX finale/BBQ/horse rides/kids never want to leave. Evah. Check.

Beds stripped, sheets in dryer. Check.

Best idea all day: Let's go see The Dark Knight.

So, we did. And after 2 hours and 45 minutes of homicidal clowns and knights of various colors, I check my cell phone and listen to the message three times because I can't seem to register that just minutes before the movie ended, someone opened up our front door and is taking a look-see tour, while our home is a little south of perfect.

I hate screwing up.

Epilogue:

Opening secret compartment of my purse to use special towelettes to wash my glasses while Greg starts the car, moments before we jet, the better to see Joker with.

You'll never guess what else I keep in there, removed in a hurry and left next to the microwave in my stupor.

Yes. That.

Makes me so proud to be a woman. Ack.

AAACK! There should be NOTICE on house showings!
I got 2 hours notice on ours yesterday so the vacuuming was done, but the rest - never mind.
Fingers crossed that they loved it and buy it so you can start moving!
And a summer cold - yuck!
Ok, so CLEARLY it could have been worse.

;)
We did love the movie and risked scarring our kids for life for bringing them along.

The only apparent damage so far: They do the creepy Joker licking his lips thing.

And they asked if the Joker would be back in a sequel. Explaining Ledger's demise was harder.

So, yes, good summer flick although Christian Bales' Batman voice is kinda strange and Greg insists on using it now.

Please do not let Greg use the Batman voice around me. Things could go very embarrassingly.

So sorry about the "left behind" item...Maybe they didn't notice, because of the shiny fabulousness of the kitchen?

I won't even say what I was thinking. Something else in a small package, though. :-)

Some people just simmer cinnamon on the stove. I like your way. Very, very homey.
