The Big Prep

On Sunday:
  • I had 3 huge loads of laundry all going at the same time. I'm talking the works: clothing, bathmats, towels, my fucking duvet cover, fresh linens.
  • Swept
  • Mopped (alright, alright Swiffer'd)
  • Got on my hands and knees and scrubbed the shower.
  • Made a run to the grocery store. Picked up some greek yogurt, a bag of salad, cereal, milk, eggs. I went with a few items I figured were pretty safe.
  • Clipped and tossed the dead leaves on the last remaining house plants I've managed to barely keep alive.
  • Tossed half of lemon into the garbage disposal to achieve the natural dope freshness
  • Grabbed the piled of books on my nightstand and actually organized them on a bookshelf

I haven't had to prepare for a girl staying staying with me for an entire weekend in... well, over two years.

Holy piss that was ages ago. I almost forgot how to go through the motions.

It's certainly been awhile.

It's good to be in the know.

Christina said...

Beki said...

Yea, where was that blog entry?? Do tell!!!

Narm said...

And mass confusion strikes the blogosphere.

Stacy said...

That has GOT to be good.

Martini said...

Why was wine left off that grocery list?

L.C.T. said...

Firstly, who is staying over?? Secondly, doesn't it make you feel good to get so much done?

messypuppy said...

Who is the girl?!!? Don't forget wine and you might want to spray your garbage can with something to make it smell better. And don't forget to clean your sinks, esp. the bathroom sink. Yay! good luck

BS said...

Tease.

That might be sufficiently mean to keep me from commenting...oh wait...damn!

Jossie Posie said...

You are the worst kind of tease

Dolce said...

Almost feel like a cool kid in the cafeteria.

Have fun, friend.

Add some vino to that list and maybe get an extra toothbrush and good smelling (see: girly) body wash...just in case.

Debbi said...

it's your mom, right?

Emma ContraryWise said...

You are evil.

just me said...

I had no idea guys actually knew how to clean.

Huh. Learn something new every day...

rs27 said...

Dolce knows and I don't know? Horse manure.

Wait, do I know? Dammit I hate myself.

alexa - cleveland's a plum said...

ummmmm. who???

O.G. said...

good luck, hide the medication and creams

Kellie said...

Who's the secret woman? :)

I need to get my shit together and do some major spring cleaning. Blech.

ellabella said...

i was wondering why your shopping list included only girl food.

Hex said...

What the heck is a duvet cover?

Scratch that -- What kind of dude actually knows what a duvet cover is?

Maxie said...

I bet you won't be the only one on your hands and knees.

hey-yo!

MelBee said...

Maybe Leo is visiting.
KIDDING.

Whoever it is, sister, Mother, friend or something more, kudos on cleaning.

If I remember correctly, you don't like wine, that's why it's not the list right?

Sassy Britches said...

If you freakin' tell us your mother is coming to vist, I'm going to have to hurt someone.

JoLee said...

don't forget the condoms and to clean behind the toilet....

The Passionate Book Worm said...

Wait...what?! There are actually guys out there that make their house girl ready? It's a freaking miracle!

Little Fish said...

Don't forget to hide the porn.

Je (20-Something) said...

You little sneak you, you can't keep us hanging like that! Who's the lucky lady?

P.S. Who actually throws a lemon in the disposal?? Lol. I think you might be over-thinking things just a tad. ;)

Sebastian said...

I'm sure you haven't forgotten the other motions, right?

Wiwille said...

Ahh the good ol apartment preparation. It's good to be domesticated.

unMuse said...

ooooh a sleepover! Awesome! Have more fun than you can imagine!

(A good trick, too, is to put fabric sheets in the pillows your guest will be using. It's a nice, good smelly touch.)

amindinmotown said...

Wait a god damn second... A girl is staying over? This was not previously mentioned. Spill the beans mister!

Rusty Silverspoon said...

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen.


CANNON BALLLLLLLLL.


(Oh! and I know, I know, I know!!!)

Alice said...

YOU TRICKY JERK. right after the "bree is no more" post, too!! grrr...

ps i put lemon down my disposal as well! works great.

The Vegetable Assassin said...

Don't forget a fake mustache, a chest wig, a spray tan and a jumbo box of condoms. We ladies love all of the above. And get a water bed, pronto. :)

Trixie Firecracker said...

Greek Yogurt? Wow you went all out!

P.S - I love Greek yogurt. Good choice!

sequined said...

I don't remember making plans to visit you...

heatherdc said...

Always with the mysteryyyy.....

I'll add the third 'get some Vinooo'!! definitely.

The Sexologist said...

Good luck! I'm sure it will be loads of fun.

Anonymous said...

Little Fish has some wisdom....

So this was 5 days early, right? You do realize there is more to do, but somethings have to wait until that morning. that is, don't forget to clean the toilet and the hair out of the shower, for-the-luv-of-god-man!

I trust you will...

JerseySjov said...

you're such a suspense-monger.

Shelley said...

Go back to the grocery store, you forgot a few items:

You gotta be prepared!

Lizet said...

I'm with everyone else! what the heck did I miss!?

Katelin said...

haha that's cute you put so much work into cleaning up the place for a girl. :)

Emily said...

dude. u really did not have to just do that.

seriously..

High-heel gal said...

Wow, do guys really go through all that? Apparently, I'm dating the wrong guys!

Rachel said...

Do not forget to manscape!

Alianna said...

I've got a couple guesses, but I'll be patient until you write you next post, post-sleepover, because you are cruel that way. :p I am wise to the ways of SO.

You forgot fruit, extra cushy toilet paper and to clean the ENTIRE bathroom. Some girly body wash and an extra toothbrush would be awesome too.

Good luck!

H said...

1- who's staying?

2-my vote is swiffering IS mopping ;)

Riff Dog said...

Uhhhhh . . . . uhhhh . . . .

I hope this means what I think it means!

Riff Dog said...

Uhhhhh . . . . uhhhh . . . .

I hope this means what I think it means!

OhMyLaughter said...

Yay!!!!

Bird* said...

Don't forget: candles, a few reed diffusers, bottle o' vino, wine bottle opener, blanket for snuggling on the couch, be sure to clean your toothpaste tube (no junky crap in it), chocolate, a few bottles o water, AND... that's it.

good luck.

Finding Frogs said...

Woot! Can't wait for the details! :)

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

Wait....girl for the weekend?

I was reading and was thinking, "wow, it's like a girl is coming over". I guess I'm just slow.

I did the once over last week for the same reason, and I think I need a repeat....I wish I had a maid.

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

ps. Make sure to hide your fav. t-shirt (as they tend to go missing when said girl needs a shirt), hide any other girl's stuff, and for the love of all that is good...make sure to have soap, TP, wash clothes, etc.

A lemon! OF COURSE. Here I am, pouring peroxide down the sink like a fool.

Also, remove at least one of those books from the shelf, place it on the bed, and rumple the sheets just a little. Better than Barry White. Mmm.

cavy said...

make sure there's also wine, an extra toothbrush, and toilet paper. you cannot forget the toilet paper.

and i can't wait for details! :)

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

Walgreen's has individual toothbrushes for cheap. Don't fall for the 3-pack, as that may give the wrong impression to the girl.

I've always wanted a t-shirt that said, "All I got was a lousy toothbrush!".

Just Playing Pretend said...

I'm not going to hold my breath for details. You always leave us hanging.

I guess that's cool. Have fun.

Ang said...

Forget wine. As a woman, I say get some beer!

harper & beatrix said...

dude. either you move fast or you are keeping secrets.

~beatrix

Babs said...

I missed a step

you are way cleaner than me

Just Me said...

Just found your blog, and ya I am with the other girl usually the dudes I meet are picking up their stuff as they are telling me to relax.

Just Wandering... said...

I would call you a tease but people have that covered.


If she isn't related to you, I hope she "appreciates" all your prep. Appreciates it in a dirty,kinky NC-17 kinda way b/c we all know you need it

Stacey said...

Why does blogger insist on refreshing the window when I'm halfway through my comment??

Who's staying over? I can tell you its not me... or is it?? mwhahahhahahaha

Make sure the toilet seat is down and clean also make sure you wear nice pajamas to bed.

rawbean said...

awhhhh cute!

Tigerlily said...

I do the same kind of stuff when I have guests coming over. Especially the food part.

Hope all the hard work pays off!

Blaez said...

you really like cliff hangers and giving us surprises don't you?

KT said...

Damn it. Did I miss something? Who is the girl?

E said...

Ok so I read this thinking, "Ok what did I miss?" so I start reading the other comments and realize I am not alone ~ except Leo who has to brag! So not fair. :) Oh well can't wait for the update!

Jaxie Fantastic said...

I'm in the KNOW! Bwahaha! (Sorry, I'm a lurker but not anymore... This is my first comment at so@24!)

Bon Don said...

First time comment... it's always so busy around here, I kind of get stage fright.

*Bon Don*

Matt said...

You just cant.

Fizzgig said...

impressive that you are going thru all the trouble! In my experience it doesn't go unnoticed!

Marie said...

Wooot!!! Awesome.

LBluca77 said...

Wait I think I am behind on your blog who is staying over?? Oh I am so excited though.

Seriously do boys go to all that trouble when a girl comes over? Cause if that is the case then Then I should have put out much much more in the past.

Tee aka The Diva's Thoughts said...

Dammit!!! I hate when I'm not in the loop! Who is the girl and where did she come from?

Lucky13 said...

Kid. Don't make an ass of yourself. Get wine, stat. STAT.

Lace said...

Oh my God, YES! I just caught an episode for the first time the other night. It was the one where the girl kisses her vibrator... did you see that? What the hell? I threw up in my mouth a little. I'm totally hooked!

jwriter said...

CONGRATS

KatieSaysSo said...

Wait...I have been a little MIA and missed the last post. Who is staying over? Bree???

Good luck! And seriously, who is staying over?

Are we excited about this?

Emma ContraryWise said...

It's already Wednesday.... any news?!? O:)

Whitney said...

I know who it is... and I'll give you one hint, it's not Maxie.

Kris said...

You're sneaky, making all these girls go nuts trying to figure out who is staying over. Well done.

MusicLover647 said...

It's your cousin. All this build up.....will finally result in a deflating balloon fart.

UBERMOUTH said...

She has to live on a bag of salad for a whole week end?

Sizzle said...

Exciting stuff!

golublog said...

I never bothered to clean for visiting boys they should know what they are getting into.

Tia said...

whoa. that's awesome. most guys think that throwing out the expired-last-month milk and shoving their dirty socks under the coffeetable = welcoming a guest.

Bow Chica Wah Wah said...

Yea... someone said it already but clean the toliet...and have lots of toliet paper... and umm.. good job on the hands and knees scrubbing!

GOOD LUCK! HAVE FUN! GET DRUNK AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (EVEN THOUGH YOU DONT BELIEVE IN HIM) WOULD YOU HAVE SEX ALREADY!

*~Dani~* said...

Wait, what, huh? There is a girl? A GIRL? I want to know about the GIRL!! You cannot sneak attack like that!
