Auntie Guest

I'm reading the book "Wicked" - the one about the Wicked Witch of the West. In the book, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch) spends some time as a guest in someone's home. At the time, she doesn't want anyone to know her name, so her hosts decides that they will call her "Auntie Guest".

Now, I don't have many similarities to Elphaba, but I am staying as a guest at a friend's home. I thought it would be funny if they started calling me Auntie Guest. So, they have. At least when they're talking to their kittens about me. It's fun. I like being Auntie Guest. I've taken to calling them Auntie Hostess and Uncle Host.

Exciting news: I'm looking at two rental places today that I might be able to move into this month. They both sound pretty cool, so I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Also, I'm being the roommate to a married couple that I'm friends with while I'm looking for a place. They're both great people, and especially great to let me stay with them for a while. Also, they live very close to my new job, so driving to and from work will be quick and painless.

I'm hoping to get a place soon, but I also want to find a place that I'll be happy with. To ensure that I do this, my husband expressed to me in no uncertain terms that he does not want to move again after we move into the new place, so I'd better like it!
