How to have a clean house: invite people to visit.
Anthony and Amanda came to stay this weekend and, after two months, we finally unpacked the last of the boxes, put a shower curtain up in the guest bathroom, organized the office into a livable space, and put some artwork on the walls.
And we celebrated by drinking beers as big as your head. Out. Because why dirty a glass when you finally got everything sparkling clean?
Actually, us ladies drank cheap red wine mixed with Pepsi. Because we were creative with the meager offerings of a pizza joint. Also, we are classy.
Happy 24th to Amanda! And thank you for forcing us to get it together and finally unpack the boxes that, for two solid months, occupied the guest room bathtub.
We had so much fun. Thank you so much. Hopefully we will see you guys soon.

red wine and pepsi mixed together?? I try to have people over about once a month for this exact reason it forces me to make the house presentable.

Those beers are HUGE! How did the wine and Pepsi treat you? Never thought of that combo. I end up cleaning once every two weeks because Mike has poker night here, so I feel obligated to clean for guys who are going to sit only in the dining room drinking beer. Ha! At least it gets done right!
