"Getting New Apt Ready Because Family is Arriving in 48 Hrs" - Top 10 List

1. Bed
(Hmmm...some of us can sleep, but a Queen size won't fit 4 people)

2. Air Mattress
(Between the Queen Bed and the Full size Air Mattress now all of us can sleep)

3. TV & TV Stand
(Conversation will be great, but this is not Survivor...TV in the normal world is a staple. A TV Stand? Remember, this is not Survivor)

4. Phone
(Everyone can't use my cell...at least not simultaneously)

5. Cable and phone service
(TV without cable is like a Phone without service)

6. Sheets & Pillow Cases
(Probably should cover the mattresses; haven't gotten the pillows yet, but will one day soon)

7. Plates, Bowls, Cups & Glasses
(A hungry person can be an angry person. Hungry people need food & drink, both of which work best with dining ware. Haven't taken care of the food & drink part yet, but hoping to appease any signs of anger with pretty dining ware)

8. 1 Hammock Chair, 2 Wooden Stools
(After they walk in the door, put down their luggage, their first urge will likely be to sit!)

9. Assorted Cleaning Supplies
(Cleanliness is next to Godliness and also minimizes parental lectures)

10. Groceries
(Need something to put on the pretty plates and appease angry mob...see #7 for details)

A lot can be accomplished in 48 hrs. My family arrived, apartment had basic necessities and all is well in the world.

Minor details seemed to have be chopped by the editor. Like "Family had to build the chair in which to sit."
Also "Family had to get most of the creature comfort stuff out of the boxes and put in serious work in order to enjoy them."
But that is what family is for -even though the pretext for their visit was supposed to be somewhat more intellectually stimulating than DIY labor.
Bottom line: GREAT show GREAT TIME!!!
