Woo! So we have 168 hours!

Yesterday I came home and promptly fell asleep and accomplished jack #######. I did wake up at midnight and managed to shampoo the carpet in the livingroom and some of the bedroom.

I must confess, I am in love with the carpet shampoo-er I borrowed from work. I may have to get my own. It totally concealed the fact I spilled soy sauce on my carpet and also? Old lettuce goo. I am totally going to pretend that I am a clean person and maybe he will never figure it out! Yes!

I need to call and schedule a junk pick-up. I also need to run by the thrift store and dump off a couple bags of clothing including my first wedding dress.

Tonight we're aiming for having the majority of rooms cleaned and then tomorrow we can work on the garage and the junk room.

God. The junk room totally blows. Anyone want to come over and help me move out a futon frame from a futon I never owned? I swear I will kill someone random on teh street before I EVER let another Jordanian house-sit again. Never in my life have I run across a more worthless house-sitter. he piled stuff on top of my CAR, scratched the paint, let my cats scratch my brand-new couch and then said "oh just get a cover," which was met with the death-look because I had just paid $900 for that couch, why would I want a cover MFer!?! He left all of his belongings in my house and over-stayed by two months, never paid a cent, and still has ####### in my house. He lost all my keys (mail, house, etc), and has never once bothered to try to get out this freaking frame or his bookshelf or any of his #######. Now I have to pay a few hundred dollars to have it removed because where I live they don't do free removal. I should find out where he sleeps.

This has got to be the longest freakin' countdown thread ever Whatever happened to counting down at like 48 hrs or something?

Blame Jackie. She started it! I wasn't even going to have a countdown thread!

[doodlebug 3]

I don't know about anyone else but I'm taking notes!!!!!! I totally am going to need a junk truck before he gets here AND I need to get rid of all ex stuff since I know that will bother him. I like reading this 'cause 1) you crack me up girl and 2) you are doing things that I wouldn't have thought of before.

"I swear I will kill someone random on teh street before I EVER let another Jordanian house-sit again."

Surely this is just as ridiculous a generalization as the comments about arab women being greedy.

oh charles... really... since when have you become the peacemaker??? And I'm not starting a fight, I'm merely pointing out the obvious. Since she'll never let a Jordanian housesit again, I guess that means she'll never let her husband alone in the house.

Now I know ya'll didn't mean to send my topic off track............

How long now Julianna? I let my Jordanian 'house-sit' while he was home on his K3 visa. waiting for EAD...burned a hole in the kitchen floor, learned about metal and microwaves all by himself when it comes to learning about lawnmowers and oil and gas.........true magic.

My Egyptian housesitter is doing a great job so far. The only slight mishap was when he turned on the a/c and set it at 60 degrees...I got home and the house was freezing! I warned him of the dangers of putting metal in the microwave so no probs there.

Mine was frying eggs in a frying pan and set the pan on the vinyl floor.....I guess he was used to real ceramic
