of scaring my expected company away:
Does it mean that I have made profoundly poor lifestyle choices if I write up my to-do list to get the house ready for company, review it, then ask John: “Hey, hon, the next time you go over to your shop tonight, could you bring back your fumes respirator?”
And then he says yes without even needing to ask why at pam[at]viewfromthenorth40.com

Well……knowing the company you’re expecting, it’s most definitely likely that you’ll be needing the fumes respirator!!!!!!!!!!
Have fun and keep the windows open!!!!

Having company over is always the best reason to “spruce the place up” and so you decide to rip up the carpet because you just “know” there’s hardwood flooring underneath that will be more impressive…only to discover that some idiot 50 years ago put ugly laminated tile over the hardwood. Nothing like a project that grows exponentially from the original plan.

Kristi,
I wish that were the case, but it’s just the normal deep cleaning … by the chick who once started a cleaning session in her living room with a push broom and a grain scoop to pick up the worst of the gravel accumulated around the front entrance. Sad, but true.
