Do they even sell pug-sized French Maid costumes?

Blogged under home, school on Tuesday 12 May 2009 at 9:35 am

I live in complete fear of the drop-in. I don’t just fear the dating drop-in, I fear ANYONE dropping by my apartment. When I hear a knock I stop what I’m doing, drop to the floor and fervently pray that the knock in on my neighbors’ door and not mine.

Sadly I’m not exaggerating. Well, maybe about the praying part, but nothing else.

My apartment is a complete disaster and has been since I returned to school. By the time I finish with everything that needs to be done I want to sack out on the couch, not clean the couch.

I’ve lived in my apartment for five years. This is the longest I’ve lived anywhere since moving out of my parents’ house at 18. I once loved my cute little apartment with a loft bedroom. It’s charming and totally fits my personality. However, the busier I got the more I stopped caring about how clean things were. The carpets look like I had a rave party and the abandoned shoes all over complete the look.

I’d love to buy a small condo, but that small savings I had went to the University of Utah. I’m not complaining, mind you, a degree is totally worth it. It’s just… well… I’m tired of not being able to invite people over. I would die if anyone saw how messy my place is.

Rather than set aside a day to clean up and rent a carpet cleaner, I’m blogging about the situation. Blogging and trying to convince myself that tomorrow will be the day that Daisy the Pug develops opposable thumbs and turns into a French maid.

Every time you share me I won't punch a kitten!

    If you buy me a ticket to Utah, I promise I’ll at least tackle the shoe situation you’ve got going on. Although, come to think of it, we’ve already discusssed this, and so far I haven’t come through. So..this summer, we’re not allowed to shop until we organize that giant pile of shoes. I’m not wearing a French Maid costume, though.

    Well, blogging about it is the first step you know.

    Actually they do have something for Daisy. http://tinyurl.com/pz9hjo And I have a number to a great plastic surgeon if you want to consider adding opposable thumbs to her too. Your options are unlimited. Or for a small price (a bottle of wine) I can help you. Cleaning and drinking isn’t so bad.

    The visual of Daisy in a French Maid costume is too much! I can’t stop giggling.

    As a matter of fact, they -do- make French maid costumes for pugs. http://is.gd/zz1Q
