adds one more thing to the list of short-lived dreams

Thank you for your interest in our Showhomes property posted online. By choosing this house, you have discovered Showhomes, a national company that selects qualified individuals and families to live in and care for high-end homes on the market – without high-end expense or long-term lease.

If you qualify to be a Home Manager, you move into the Showhome for amoderate monthly fee – usually less than half of what it would normally cost to live in the home. You put your furniture and gracious style to work, maintaining the home in show-to-sell condition—while you save money.

Once the homeowner accepts an offer, we work with you to find anotherbeautiful Showhome for you to enjoy.

I would like to talk to you personally to share more information about our program. You can also go to www.showhomes.com to find additional information about our program and homes. I also attached a Home Manager application. If you think you may be interested, simply complete the application and email it back to me. Once again thank you for contacting Showhomes and I look forward to speaking with you about our properties.

Sigh.

It would have been nice had they leaped to their feet and proclaimed their king and had a feast with roast ox, but I'm still hopeful.

An ox that had been stuffed with a pig, that had been stuffed with a lamb. And if you're really feeling crazy, you could stuff the lamb with a turducken.

ION, Birthday Happies for vw!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY L'IL BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, Aimee, that sucks. Would have been nice to put that info up in the first place.

I flagged the ad. Fuckers.

Like I'm gonna pay rent to live somewhere and let people just walk all through the house willy nilly, whenever people wanted to.

Maybe if we didn't have Em, but no. I don't think so.

Right!?! And dress it up with your furniture, keep it spotless all the time, don't let it look lived in. Bah!

So, Aims, wait...

We would just...live there and be available to show the home? Then when it's sold we have to move?

Aw, fuck that.

Besides, I think we'd suck at it. Prospective buyers would come over and we'd be all: "BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARK!" "SHUT UP, OLLIE! SHUT UP!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Stupid dog. Hi, so...you're here to see the home? Great, uh...let me just SHUT UP, OLLIE!! GET DOWN!! let me just kill the dog, just kidding, mostly, and, uh...don't mind the spaghetti sauce stains on the floor...and walls...and ceiling, there was a lunch experiment gone wrong, see, and, oh! This is our daughter Emeline, Emeline don't hit the people with a balloon, no. No. NO!! DO YOU WANT A TIME OUT? DO YOU?? I'M COUNTING! ONE...TWO...good choice, thank you. I'll get you some milkies in a minute. In a minute, I said. IN A MINUTE, go watch Dora. And this is the foyer..."

Probably get fired in the first week.

Daisy's bah is also my bah. Bah!

Happy Birthday, vw!!!!

I'll add my bahs to the herd, Aimee. Bah!

I'm lost. I can't find Natter.
