a tribute to the undomestic goddess

If you see yourself in more than one of the following, welcome to my world!

1. It is not unusual for the smoke detector in your home to go off when you are whipping up something in the kitchen. . .

2. When friends pop in for a visit, they bring their own food. . .

3. The main time you clean your house is when you know you have company coming. . .

4. At some point in time, you have had a fire in your home due to poor fire-place management. . .
5. You require a leaf-blower to remove leaves from your porch or deck. . .

6. You occasionally sweep the debris from your floors either into a corner or underneath a rug and then "forget" to grab the dust pan and dispose of it properly. . .

7. It would be unwise to open any of your hall closets for safety reasons. . .

8. Recently you have had to use "traveling" toilet paper. This happens when you are down to only one role for the whole house so then have to go change it from bathroom to bathroom until reinforcements are purchased. . .

9. There is makeup in your bathroom you believe may have been purchased more than 5 years ago. . .

10. Instead of removing old nail polish, you fill in the gap at the nail bed and simply paint on another layer. . .

Ha! Traveling toilet paper. Now I know what to call it.

OMG...maybe you could add #11...when people who've read your blog (and seen Tyson's comment) now show up to your house with their own roll of toilet paper.

it's always good to be prepared, whether as the guest or for the guest the undomestic goddess attemps to cover all bases, but admits to occasionally taking short cuts!
