A picture is worth a thousand words....

Actions speak louder than words....

These are two of the main reasons I 'm looking forward to S's visit. Yes there are a thousand other reasons, the least of which will be spending valuable time with him, but both times we've been together have been on his turf.

Why is it so important for him to be on my turf?

Well, when I went to his place, I saw how he lived. This was a good thing since I have had to help people clean their places in the past, and it has solidified the fact that I cannot live with some due to their absolute oblivion of what clean really means. I have felt repulsion at this before in fact. But it goes beyond that.

Having soemone on my turf will allow me to show them a different side of myself. I want to play hostess and not the guest and I want to show him what I am capable of even away from home with the limited amenities available to me in my little pad.

Yes, one thing I do know about myself is that wherever I am, whatever I have or Dont't have, I turn my place into a little home. It doesnt take much, just the K touch and I know I have it!

So when S comes here, he will see me in my element, and see how I do little things, how I live in organized chaos, and how I make my place homey. I feel I am not coveying what I really mean except that he will likely see the real me. In my place, comfortable and at home and somhow different than what I am in his place.

I look forward to that.

Not to mention he has yet to meet my only dependant, and my best pal Oscar! He looks forward to that too.

Uncle, is George coming too?
