Yesterday I made a cake because my aunt and two cousins are coming over to check out our new baby. As I was preparing todays feast, I was thinking about how my "high tea gone bohemian" reminds me of "keeping up appearances".
I've always thought that show was hilarious, and it's one of the few tv shows my grandma watched religiously.
For some reason right before we have people come over I start noticing how many stains the dogs made on our leather couch and how much hair gets in all the nooks and crannies of our house. Never mind the stains on the wall by the garbage can, the dust on the shelves and the cobwebs on the ceiling.
About an hour before guests are expected I start driving everyone in this house, including myself, insane with my last minute cleaning frenzy * sigh...* This cake better be good after all this cleaning and dusting... Thank goodness I have a sign in my kitchen that says "my house was clean last week, sorry you missed it"
