I don't move people's things around--just in case something is in a spot for a reason, unless I'm asked or tell that I did.Okay then. So I either misremembered how cluttered we left the house, or there really is a Good Fairy of Tidying. But I guess this means I don't owe Frenemy Neighbor a cake.

Well, Nevermind
Yesterday I told you about my assumption that Frenemy Neighbor had straightened my living room when she came in to check on my house. It didn't seem that crazy to think that--it's the kind of thing I might do. So today FN and I were exchanging texts about getting the girls together. I had written to her to tell her we were back, and I said, "Thank you for straightening up the living room! You didn't have to do that." And she texted back:

Oh, how funny! I want a straightening-up fairy, too.
And my word verification was "fringier." I always get the best words at your blog, Becky!
Wow, I hope you give that Good Fairy of Tidying a huge honey cake.
Y'know. When I read that bit about frenenemy tidying up---I HAD MY DOUBTS!!!!!
You have cleaning elves!!! That is so exciting. Send them this way please.
Maybe she's completely OCD and couldn't restrain herself. And then felt guilty, and is now LYING to you!!
What's with "I don't move people's things around" anyway??? Like you were accusing her of eating your PMS chocolate stash. How about, "Not me - must've been the cleaning fairy"??
I wasn't going to comment, but my word verification is "squid"--so I have to say: maybe you have a cleaning squid?
Squid, fairy, I'll take it.
And I know, Fraught, it seemed a little insistent to me. But that's a day in the life of knowing FN. She's still mastering most forms of human communication.
I had this whole story in my head of how she tidied, and I convinced myself of it!
I think she did it but was too embarrassed to tell you.
Good on you, Beck--you were believing the best! :)
Hey--didn't y'all get one of those Christmas elves sent to you over the holidays? Maybe it works as a cleaning fairy in the off season.
Well, at least it's a nice switch to question how things got so clean instead of how they got so destroyed. At least that's what happens to me. The answer to the question is usually "Lily."
There's a weird little part of me that would have been disappointed that FN did something so normal and non-passive aggressive. That's awful, I know!
And yes, please don't move all my artfully arranged dishevelment. I meant to do that.
Umm, Becky, I'm a little scared for you. Because either (1) she's lying (not to mention she was curt when she lied) or (2) that lawn dude did it and is going to send you a housekeeping invoice or (3) well, let's just say option #3 is too scarey to put in words.
I am sooo with fraught's theory!
BTW, saw you at Target today but didn't want you to think I'm now stalking you. :)
It's pretty clear what happened here:
1) You went to Vanuatu
2) At the top of that volcano you passed through an interdimensional rift
3) When you came back down, you were in an alternate dimension - the one the rest of us have been in our whole lives
4) The only difference between the two dimensions was the clutteredness of your living room
Welcome to our happy home dimension, please enjoy you stay. And won't the alternate Beck and Matt be surprised when they get home to discover a messy living room! Joke's on them!
If you have any further questions, please contact my quantum physicist.
Holy crap. I think Rick's onto something here. Get me to Vanatu, stat!
Ha ha! The only other difference I've noticed between this dimension and the one from before is that I no longer want to watch any of the shows I had Tivo'd.
What have I become???
Are you from that other dimension where The Fashion Show on Bravo is called something weird like "Project Runaway?"
