1. Begin cleaning like crazy, after lamely telling your friend what a lousy housekeeper you are.
2. Call your hairdresser for an emergency appointment, take a shower and buy a new outfit.
3. Go to the gym and try to lose 20 lbs in 2 hours.
4. Say, this isn't a good time for me - maybe next time. (The smart choice - which should make it obvious this was not the choice I made!)
So can you guess what I ended up doing?
