I don’t know if you’ve heard, but, I’m about to have a house guest. I thought it would just make the visit a whole lot more enjoyable for the both of us, I’d just go ahead and lay out some ground rules give you some tips, because I’m a very nice girl (shut up).
- Bring your warmest pajamas. I’m currently sleeping with both my bedroom windows open and with a tower fan blowing. Also, I currently sleep in a tank top and tap pants. Divert your eyes from my very white skin, please.
- If you plan on carrying an umbrella, you must also plan to walk ten paces in front of/behind me. I cannot be scene with a tourist.
- So, it’s just better if you bring yourself a rain coat of some sort.
- I like to wave my hands around a lot when driving. WHATEVER you do, do not suggest a) that I keep my hands on the wheel, or b) that I am going to kill us all. I AM AN EXCELLENT DRIVER.
- Sometimes I think it’s funny to turn your heated seat on and not tell you. So, if your butt is ever very, very hot, HEE! Jokes on you!
- You already know this from BlogHer, but I am NOT Merry Sunshine when I first wake up in the morning. Which is why I will show you how to operate my coffee pot, so that you may bring me coffee in bed, which will significantly improve my morning mood.
- Um, sorry about the cat. She’s going to want to sleep ON you. She has not smothered anyone in their sleep YET.
- About the cat, she’s going to try and get you to feed her. DO NOT FEED HER.
- We’ll be playing trivia on Thursday. If there is a team disagreement over an answer, I am right. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. The boy may try and get you to believe that he is right, but, he is not.
- And, on that note: everything in our relationship is a competition. Please always side with me.
- I’ll present you with a full list of these rules guidelines upon your arrival.
- There will be a quiz

Ok so this is where I have to tell you that I am one of those people who sits in the front seat and freaks out if she’s not driving. So if you look over and me and I have my eyes shut, please note that I am not napping, I am just keeping them closed for the sake of my blood pressure.
Please also note that I will only side with you if we are on the same team. So make sure you pick your teams wisely.
Other than that, I think I can comply with your rules.

My husband and I do that with the seat heater. Our car has seat coolers too. He turns mine to cool and I turn his to hot.

Amen to the “cannot be seen with tourists” bit.

for someone who works in the tourism industry, you really ought to be a little more sympathetic to tourists. I’m just sayin.

We’re all still on for Friday night right? Because I’m looking forward to it!

I did one of these about two years ago when a blogger was coming to stay with me. Yours is funny. Except for the morning part. Scary! (JK)
You guys are going to have the best time. Portland and you = awesome!

You crack me up. Have a super visit!

I guess we haven’t accurately conveyed exactly HOW UNCOOL it is to be seen with an umbrella in Portland, or people wouldn’t be questioning that remark of yours.
NO UMBRELLAS, people will think you’re silly (and a tourist), mmmkay?

I hate to admit it, but you’re much nicer then I am. At least you have doors on your bathroom.
Can’t wait for Saturday!

You are very bossy. I don’t think I could ever stay with you.
I hate umbrellas. I prefer rain coats every time. Maybe from my time in Northern Cali? It rains there a lot too.
