OK just had to tell you about yesterday. Are you ready for a giggle?
Over the last month, life has been a bit muddled and this is my only excuse. Right, on Tuesday I had a thorough clean of the studio - scrubbing, cleaning, sorting, packing up and vacuuming. You get the idea - normal stuff. This was to make way for students - new students - arriving at 10.00am yesterday.
As these ladies hadn't been to the studio before I decided to go out the front to the driveway so they wouldn't get lost. Normally new students are very early or quite late - so when no one had arrived at 10.00am I wasn't really worried. I decided to just keep busy and keep an eye out for them. So I dithered around inventing jobs like sweeping, dead heading a few things and inspecting my succulents etc ..............met the postie..................chatted to a neighbour.......... said hello to a dog. Still no students.
How can this be I said to myself? Better go start ringing - back in the CLEAN studio,got the diary out to the date with all their details .................................................
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............................................it's next week and they are where they should be this week - wherever that is...................not at my studio.
So just to prove that I was ready - including nibbles, boiled kettle, great music, rolling mats, soap and everything ready to go, here are some pics!
Now most people wouldn't admit to being such an idiot - but why not? I am of the belief you should have a giggle at yourself especially when you clean up for no one.
Funny thing is, I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself after all that - no one was coming and so I went out to lunch instead.
Cheers
Elizabeth!

Oh, Elizabeth, I'm so glad I'm not the only one to do things like that. A couple of years ago I cleaned like a dog (several days of Spring cleaning...Of course, it was done in December though!)...Anyway, cleaned right up until the very last minute when I headed to the airport to pick my parents up. I was just exhausted. Waited at the gait, plane lands, no parents! So I went up to the desk to ask if perhaps they had been delayed in Chicago and didn't make their connection. The response, "Hmmmm, I don't see their names on the passenger list." He graciously did some further checking, and you probably know the response, "Your parents aren't due in until this time tomorrow!" Well, I was so embarassed, but the good thing was going home, and actually being able to relax in a clean house, get a good night's sleep, and be totally ready for my company the next day. It was heaven! I should do that more often!!!
ReplyDeleteYour studio is beautiful! I am green with envy.
Take care,
Dawn
