…they came to stay
October 28th, 2008
We’re home now. I was starting to freak myself out with how comfortable I was getting at the Actuallys’. I probably could have stayed a month and still thought of fun things to keep us busy. I was eyeballing some planting pots they had in the garage. Give me a few more days and I’d have them planted with lavender and lemon-scented geraniums.
When the Actuallys did come home, it was a bit creepy knowing that I knew where things were better than they did. For example, I needed a little light to read a book with at night so I wouldn’t wake up Baby Bug by turning the ceiling light on. When I asked Bethany if I could borrow one she said she thought she had one around somewhere. And then I said, “It’s in the nightstand beside your bed on the right side, next to your cell phone cords.”
That’s just creepy.
So it’s time to go home. No matter how much I want to stay there and take over their house as my own, I don’t really want to star in my own horror movie.

Great job on the poster, I think it is safe to say that it is time for you and Toby to buy that house now ;).

Your poster is so funny! Yipes, your eyes are scary!

Genius! And I don’t think it’s scary you know where things are better than we do; I think it’s handy. ;-)

Is Cleveland too far of a drive for you? I could definitely use a cat sitter. I don’t have a cat but I do have a lot of things that need to find a home in my house ;)
The poster is hilarious!!! Even sweet little bug looks very creepy!! Nice job!

I think the poster is great! You have such a creative mind. I enjoy seeing what you come up with! Would you travel to Oregon? I have a garage that is in need of your talent!

That poster is hilarious! The Actuallys will probably call you a few times in the future and you will be able to tell them exactly where to find things, how funny.

“Something cooking in the oven?”

I Love the poster!!! You know, you could make a tidy living at arranging peoples homes. You can start with mine.

That is so funny. I needed a good laugh this morning. I wish I could just go in peoples homes and have them let me look at everything. I don’t want to rob them I just want to check everything out.

haha that poster is priceless! Good work on your project! I should make a poster of the shocked face and look I had when my kids and hubby bought me a gorgeous diamond necklace for my birthday. Maybe you can make the poster, you’re super talented!
