family ties

We got the call Wednesday that company was on their way.

And that they would be staying. Indefinitely.

Six hours of obsessive cleaning and de-gaying later (for his family, not mine.) they arrived.

To make a long story short, over the last five days we have, at various times, had 10+ people staying in our house. And though we have 2700 sq ft to play in, it's hard to get away from the romping feet of 2 and 3 year olds in a house where the builder deemed it excessive to place insulation between the floor joists.

But tonight they're gone, the house is quiet again. And the dildos are back in their places of prominence around the house. (kidding. just the nudie coffee table books are back.)

And to further get you in the mood, here's my favorite youtube video of all time. I know you've seen it. But it's everything I love. Festive but not cliche. Over-the-top, but not *too* over the top. And synced to music. And I love anything, *anything* synced to music.
