Friday Dog Date

In preparation for throwing Gina a shower this weekend, I hired a maid to come deep clean the house.  I talked to her at 11:00 and she said she would be going over to the house in a few minutes.  I made the executive decision to take Margo to daycare for the day so the lady could actually get some cleaning done.  Not a new fact, but Margo hearts attention.... and eating the cleaning attachments to vacuums. 
 
So at 4:00 I got off work, picked Marg up and we headed home.  As I pulled up to my house I realize that Janet's car is still in my driveway.  What?!  She has been there FOREVER!  I know my house wasn't that dirty!  At that exact time, Emily called to see if she can bring over the booze she bought for the shower.  I told her I'd just come and get it since I didn't want to unleash the white dog onto our new cleaning lady... just yet.  Unfortunately (for me not Dave) Em had to go pick up Dave from the airport so I couldn't pass time with her and Rev. Gina was at happy hour, and oh ya, it was raining out so I wasn't about to put Margo outside in the mud anywhere.  So I decided just to go home and see how much longer she would be. It couldn't be that long right?  I left Marg in the garage and walked in to her in the kitchen with all of my spices out of my spice rack and cleaning each one individually.  I about died!  I was laughing so hard and saying things like 'oh wow! I didn't realize you were going to clean all of that!'  And other things like 'I don't think I've ever cleaned that/those.'  Including, but not limited to my candle sconces on the wall, on top of the refrigerator, the closet floors, and even the fireplace.  Then I understood why she had been there so freaking long... every piece of anything in my house had been thoroughly cleaned.  I apologized to her about underneath the couches b/c I'm sure that wasn't a pretty site.  She said she found about 17 tennisballs.
I could hear Marg in the garage scratching on the door.  I'm sure she was super confused as to why I just left her in there.  So I told Janet I would leave so she could finish.  She said it would be another hour.  What?!  Seriously, what am I going to do with a dog, while it's raining, for another hour?

Well, we went on a date to McDonalds.

Cheesebooger, Cheesebooger, Cheesebooger.

And sat in the parking lot and had deep meaningful conversations about life (and squirrels).  For an hour.  I'm now her new favorite parent. 

More to come on the shower... I need pictures.  Friends?  I need pictures.  Thanks.
