You know, I’ve always had the feeling that I was born to be rich. It’s not that I have expensive tastes or like to dress up in the latest fashions, or that I like fast cars and hobnobbing with the upper crust. I just hate doing work. I’ll admit, I’m a princess that way. I don’t like doing chores, like washing dishes, mopping floors, cleaning toilets, etc. There’s a voice inside me that says, ‘Hey Christine, this isn’t the life you should be living, one day, you’ll be rich and you’ll get a maid.’

I’ll get a little taste of that this month, when I get my very own live in maid, and I don’t even have to pay her!

With that said, my sister Claudine moved in yesterday.

What better way to pay for a month’s accomodations than to cook, clean, and do laundry for your hosts? I’ve made sure to pile up my laundry and let the dishes stay in the sink, waiting for her arrival. I can’t wait to come home to a hot dinner every night and have brownies and cookies baked for me every day. I’m looking forward to the foot massages and having my pillow fluffed before I go to sleep. This is going to be AWESOME!

OK, fine. I’ll leave her alone. She has to study all her doctor mumbo-jumbo, I know.

It’ll be interesting to have her living here. We haven’t lived in the same house together without our other sister Fatima to act as a buffer. Claudine and I have VERY different personalities. I’m the more carefree, lazy, crazy one and she’s the more conservative, responsible and worrisome one. Usually when people meet us, they think she’s the older one because she’s a lot mature. I admit, I’m a big kid. Our personalities clash, with some of our mini-arguments ending with me saying, ‘I could SO punch you in the face right now.’ But she’s my sister, and I love her to death, even though I may want to put nair in her shampoo sometimes.

So we’ll see how this month goes. I’m sure I’m going to go crazy with all the doctor talk that’s going to happen at the dinner table. Claudine and Dave go into doctor mode and use a lot of big words that my tiny brain can’t comprehend. But it also could be a lot of fun, it’ll be nice to have someone else in the house, especially when Dave is on call.

But she better be making me some brownies sometime. If she doesn’t, her clothes are out the window!
