Being the cleaning lady's daughter has its perks

So i sometimes go to help ma clean the condos or houses that she does on the side, cuz she really doesnt like doing it by herself and i can use the spare cash. So today she takes me to do a house that she's been talking about for a while. So we're driving down avalon and im thinking about towing, cuz we passed the dock we go off of. And i realize all those huge houses that we like to look at and pick out from the boat are the ones to our left. So im thinking, im gonna laugh if we turn left and go to one of those houses.
We turned left. when we get to the house, first thing i do is go on the back porch and look back at the house from the dock, to see if it looks familiar. sure enough, i definitely recognized it. haha...so if i get to go towing again, ill point it out to u.
anyway, the house was pretty awesome.its 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, porches everywhere looking out on the water...it was the type of rich old lady's house that has an elevator and dozens of knick-knacks and oriental rugs that, combined, are probably worth more than all the furniture in my house (which isnt really saying much, considering we occasionally get furniture out of other ppl's garbage....) but anyway, u get the point. the entire 3rd floor was the master bedroom. The master bath was about the size of one of ur bedrooms (smaller than mine, but mines a ginormous attic room...). The master closet was alice- sized. and mostly empty...
the one detail u guys would have loved, tho, would be incredibly insignificant to most people...see, i now know what i would look like if i had a mind-controlling alien inside my brain. in two of the bathrooms, there were these mirrors/ light fixtures. the light went around the outside of the mirror, and it was completely circular. when you went up close to the mirror, you could see, going right around ur pupils, a glowing silver ring that was the reflection of the light. now, u KNOW what that reminded me of.
anyway, the whole thing reminded me of good charlotte's "lifestyles of the rich and famous..." but the owner seemed pretty nice...she owns a car dealership or something. this was just her summer house. she has 3 others. and this was her small one.
anyway, rant over for now i think. im so jittery about tomorrow...burning my tongue on chamomile tea...not cool that im starting to get a cold just now...anyway, i think ill go now. i think i have everything set up for tomorrow...ugh! gotta go zone out to nirvana and maybe fall asleep sometime...hopefully not waking up at 3:30 once again....
