this is not a luxury establishment.

verbminxI'm pretty busy getting ready for the uninvited houseguests, who will be here on Thursday. The house is SO set up for two people and some pets, NOT four people: we eat on trays, and have only two of them. We eat sitting in an area where there is only room for two people to eat at a time. We don't have seating for four in any area where videos or DVDs can be watched. Etc etc.
Initially my mom was going to let them sleep in her room, and sleep on the sofa herself, but we figured out that it would freak out the cats (who are already freaked out and hermitlike enough due to the dog, and only come out into her room to visit at night when she's in bed). So tonight we changed that plan & have decided to clean out the eating side of the kitchen, where we're getting rid of the table anyway, and put an air mattress there. All that's there is stacks of boxes and old magazines that need to be sorted and discarded and stuff.
Anyway, we went in pursuit of the mattress to Target tonight, with the intention of buying an Aero bed, until we found out how much the queen size costs. Ended up with something similar but less fancy by Eddie Bauer. I also found the "I SEE SOMEONE'S" underwear set and a clearance camisole, and got that new doublended L'Oreal mascara to try. It's a knockoff of a Bourjois mascara they sell at Sephora for which I refuse to pay $16+.
I am very tired now and must go to sleep before my eyelids fall off.
I feel really taken-advantage-of by these houseguests. They're not bad PEOPLE, but who insists on visiting people when they're planning to move within a month or so - especially when they're moving really close to the projected visitors? Hi, welcome to HOTEL VERBMINX. Where you sleep in the kitchen on an air mattress, because we told you that we didn't have anywhere else to put you. grr.

Date: 2003-04-16 10:45 pm (UTC)meanwhile, i fucking flipped my lid when my mom almost bought said friend the latest book in that "left behind" series that's so popular with the fundies these days. "Don't you put that in my cart. I don't want to be seen purchasing that hatemongering crap. Carry it yourself or hide it somewhere." (cos see, those Left Behind dudes are all about the negativity when it comes to portraying Jews, Muslims, homosexuals, etc.) It just gets funner and funner. The poor 9-yr-old kid coming to see us is one of those who isn't allowed contact with anything related to Harry Potter. Yech.
