if you came to my house today…

November 13th, 2009

gosh, I’d appreciate it if you would just go ahead and get busy, huh?

You there in the front, I’m going to need you to hop on the laptop and do some googling to figure out this little ant problem we have in the front room. Once you determine the solution, I’ll throw you the keys to run out and get whatever super-strong poison that will kill the little beasts best.

Now that I’m thinking about it, take your friend with you. Someone’s going to have to sweep up all of those dead ants. But don’t use the good broom.

That’s for the girl in the red. She’s going to sweep the house so the guy with her can do the mopping. Be sure to get around the fridge. Something icky spilled there earlier, and I’m quite sure someone’s going to stick while looking for something less healthy than the yogurt I keep offering.

I’m going to need two volunteers for the laundry. You two? Ok, great. I really need to find a washcloth. I’ve taken my make-up off with a handtowel for two days.

Hey! You… yeah, you, Mr. Headed for the Door. You’re on bathroom duty ( yeah, I said duty). Wish you’d volunteered for the ant killer job, don’t you? See. Volunteering is good.

Geez, I’m so glad you all dropped by to be my house elves. I was seriously in need.

When you’re all done, we’ll all go out for a really fabulous lunch. Unless someone kinda wants to cook. I’m good with that, too.

Geez, I’m glad you came to my house today.

(thanks to Kellie over at LaVidaDulce for the idea)

    Hmmm…yeah, I always call my grandma when I’m doing tasks like cleaning the commode. Always goes faster. Good luck with your ant assassination.

    Chel,
    This is hilarious…well all except the ant issue. I used to get sugar-ants when we lived in TX all the time.

    I enjoyed coming to your house today! It don’t mind a little elbow grease among friends.

    Especially when I we get to go to dinner. I vote for Italian!

    Thanks playing Chel!

    The ants are crazy. They swarm and then leave, taking their dead with them when we put out poison. It’s like that scene in the last Indiana Jones movie. Mike says he saw a swarm of ants literally devour a frog the other day. It’s getting out of control.
