Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

Rob’s parents are flying in tomorrow to stay with us for a week. We don’t really have room for guests, but we do what we can. Like always, Rob’s been breaking his back to make sure they’ll be as comfortable as possible while they’re here. His dad has already commented to Rob that he doesn’t want to be “sitting in dog hair” while he’s here. (I have a lab. She sheds and licks. However, there is no animal hair on the furniture.) He usually complains about something when he visits, so I’ve come to expect it. Do you think it would be wrong of me to suggest to him that he’s being ungrateful if and when that happens? Or do you think it’s better to continue to say nothing?
We’re giving them our bedroom and bathroom while they’re here. I’ll sleep on the daybed, and Rob will probably sleep on an inflatable mattress in the living room.
Rob’s dad can’t sleep without a television on at night, so we’re moving a tv up into our bedroom.
We have a new sofa being delivered today. We wanted to replace it when Rob got some of his severance money next month, but we made arrangements to get it before his parents arrive.
I’m going to keep my car in the garage during their stay so they have more room in the driveway for their car.
We’re not sending the dogs away this time. Also, I have no control over the weather.
You could politely remind him that there isn’t dog hair at a hotel. But politely of course ; )
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
