Tomorrow a visitor comes.
|9.Feb.2008
Have the beans been spilled yet? No, not the coffee beans, you silly, the “Who is coming to stay for 3 nights in OMSHville” beans!!!!
I just used 3 exclamation marks. I do believe that is a first. But this blogger? She and her family are so worth three exclamation marks. Maybe even more!!!!! WHOAH!!!!!!
I’m pouring my late night coffee. There is cleaning to be done. I need to refold all the towels in the linen closet, re-stack all the toilet paper, wipe all the smudges off my glassware, polish all the wood in the house and re-organize my closet, OF COURSE. Doesn’t everyone do that when guests are arriving in less than 24 hours?
LESS THAN 22 HOURS EVEN!
Who is coming?
Oh, I couldn’t possibly tell you. You’ll have to guess. And? If you already know because you have been the victim of my midnight IMs, you must be very, very quiet. Which means? YOU can’t participate.
There are no prizes to be won regarding this visit. But on Monday? Prizes will be fought for – tooth and nail baby, TOOTH AND NAIL.
HINTS
- This blogger is married – happily married, I might add. And? Even better? He has a cleft in his chin – which makes me beam because honestly, there are very few of us who have chin clefts.
- She’s a klutz. No really, she won’t defend this – I believe her words were “spatially challenged”.
- Her child has a blue plastic sea turtle named Cocoa.
- She and her husband bake wedding cakes together.
- Not only does she know how to pronounce aebleskiver, but she knows how to make it too.
- Unlike me, the girl can cook!
- Are you any closer? Yes? No?
- She edits my posts and emails me if there are spelling or punctuation errors.
- She has a mug featured on her blog with an *ahem* asterisk on it.
- Here is a HUGE hint – she crochets; not to be confused with knitting – which I have, did, and was, corrected quickly.
I am crazy about this blogger – love, love, love her to pieces and she is bringing her brood to live in my domain for 3 days. THREE WHOLE DAYS (okay, 2 whole days really, but the calendar is marked off for three WHOLE days).
Now, I’m off to re-organize my attic…I mean, what if she SEES that mess. GAH!

Um, I guess Bethany Actually. Only because you’re on my GMAIL list and your status into the night stays “chatting with Bethany” or something to that effect. And when I read the crochet thing, I knew FOR SURE that it was her. I did not know that she made wedding cakes though, too cool!!
Have fun!!!

Everybody else beat me to the Bethany thing. But I knew it. I know things.

Baking wedding cakes and pronouncing aebleskiver….this must be Bethany.
I can totally understand your excitement, as I will be catching up with Ms Actually while I am in Washington DC in May. And I cannot wait. She rocks!

I figured it out before the hints thanks to Bethany’s post about packing for a trip.
Have a wonderful visit. I can not to see all of the photos from both of you!

The real question is whether B.A. will bring her aebleskiver pan and make you some! That would be one awesome hostess gift… :)

Aileen

This post alone tells me I’ve got to invest in a home computer again just to keep up with blogs when I’m not in the office! I would have “believed” this was Bethany when I read the first hint, by the fourth hint I would have so totally known this was her.
