ten days is a long time

the parental unit is arriving tonight. i'm looking forward to it, i kinda like playing tour guide, even though i'm not terribly knowledgeable. and i've already mentally prepared myself for the comments that are sure to come from my mother, such as "how can you see with your hair in your eyes?", "sit up straight, you're all hunched over", and the perennial favorite, "you look like inspector gadget in that trench coat".

i can only imagine what she'll say about my apartment. that's why i have a bottle of wine on hand.

i also pray that she does not go america all over everyone's asses when i take her to Fiesta!
