2 Faces have I.......................

I am 2 completely different people - it's just hit me now, at 53 - it's not that I'm quirky - or strange - or that there are different sides to me at all - I AM LITERALLY 2 PEOPLE - no wonder I've been so conflicted my entire life.....................

There's the glamourous Suzan - who loves glitz and sparkle - who loves to have her hair done and wears jewels and buys gorgeous shoes and who has a ton of dresses hanging in her closet -
Who has her nails done and doesn't go out without her makeup and loves good food and wine - and entertaining and being entertained.

And there's the frumpy Suzan - who can stay in her pajamas all day working on filthy furniture redo's, contentedly singing as she goes along - her hair messily thrown up with a clip - no make up at all ( although even this Suzan has a hard time looking at herself in a mirror when she walks by one - not a pretty site at all )
Nails dirty - perfectly happy with a piece of cheese slapped between a baguette on the floor beside her as she works.

And to be honest with you, John never knows which one he's going to wake up beside in the morning, because it all depends on how fed up I am with one or the other myself. So typical conversations can go like this

Suzan says - I don't feel like cooking -
John says - You want to go grab a hotdog?
Suzan says - I'M FED UP OF HOTDOGS - I WANT TO GET DRESSED UP AND GO SOMEWHERE NICE -
John says - Ok Ok - it's just because the other day you said you were dying for a greasy hot dog and fries!
Suzan says - I did? I can't imagine why!

OR IT CAN GO LIKE THIS

Suzan says - I don't feel like cooking -
John says - You want to go somewhere nice and have a steak?
Suzan says - WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE FANCY WITH YOU? WHAT'S WRONG
WITH JUST GOING FOR A HOTDOG AND FRIES SOMEWHERE?
John says - Ok Ok - it's just because the other day you said you wanted to get dressed up and go somewhere nice.
Suzan says - I did? I can't imagine why!

One Suzan keeps the house spotless - the other one? Not so much -
One Suzan is a spendaholic - the other one is so frugal it's sickening...............
One Suzan is a boundless ball of energy
The other Suzan just wants to lay around eating chocolate
One Suzan loves good wine -
The other Suzan loves a cold beer
One Suzan loves going to Ogilvy's ( a high end store in Montreal )
The other one wants to go to thrift shops
One Suzan gags - literally over the most silly things
The other Suzan can tackle anything
One Suzan is freezing all the time ( and turning the heat up )
The other one is dripping with sweat all over the place ( and turning the heat OFF )
Ok so that's definitely menopause lol

Today I was definitely the slovenly Suzan and got my hands dirty with this

hmmm - could this be why the owner of these lovelies actually apologized to John for their condition?

and that's how filthy these chairs were.......................the Suzan that worked on these could care less
she stoically worked on them until they were spotless - all sterilized - 3 buckets full until the water came out clear -

and after trying 3 different fabrics on the chairs ( John liked one - the other Suzan liked another - this Suzan likes this one the best )

Even the other Suzan is impressed this time ( and it takes a lot to impress her )

XOX
SUZANA
( BOTH OF US )

P.S. working my butt off to get the whole set done and up and posted - but the " other " Suzan has just kicked in - she wants to soak in a bath - get out a good book - and do nothing -
The eternal conflict rages on folks................................

And the 2 of us are Partying Here!
