Me, myself and I

Vicky from Decor Harmony  ( who has been my blogger lifeline on several occasions, taking the
time to explain to this ditsy blonde step by step how to do things I should have been able to figure
out on my own ) nominated me and 6 others for the " Tell Me About Yourself Award ".
I'm still at the point here where I wonder if anyone would be interested in hearing another 7 things -
but here goes!

1) I have 3 children - Twin daughters 29 - and a son 27 - they are in my thoughts 57 seconds of every minute.

2) I have a vivid imagination - too vivid - and am frightened easily - to the point where I can let out a
blood curdling scream if John quietly walks into a room without me realizing he has done so and end
up scaring him more than he has scared me - this happens quite frequently - poor neighbours

3) I have been told all my life I look like Goldie Hawn - except on a date once when I was told I looked
like Sandra Bernhard -  talk about a chameleon,lol

4) I have a weird addiction to True Crime - and watch these shows with a morbid fascination - shocked, repulsed, terrorized and close my eyes for all gory parts yet I still watch them.

5) I was a single mom for 10 years - between the first and John - some of them were rough years -
some were pretty incredible years

6) February 14, 2003  I was kissed on the top of the Eiffel Tower - but I had to tell John to do so " quick, kiss me for God's Sakes - it's Valentines day and  we're on the Eiffel Tower " lol - but when I'm old and gray I will remember that...................( hopefully I will that is, can't remember where I've put my paintbrushes from one day to the next as it is )

7) I have 6 grandkids by " proxy " ( through John ) I am Lolli and he is Pop ( because they have 2 grandmothers already ) but I am really way way way too young to be a grandmother lol - so I'm a Lolli :))))
( not too young at 53 to be a grandmother at all - but I'm fighting this aging process tooth and nail )

8) I'm a drama mama - I do everything big - I laugh big - cry big - scream big - play big - dance big - fight big and LOVE big.............

Oops - one too many - oh well -

Someone Put a Curse on Me..................

There are quite a few options here - first of all I have a strong Irish heritage - and my grandmother believed in all of that stuff - she told me once that someone had put a curse on our family ( probably a century ago )

Sometimes my ankles do hurt, wow I never put 2 and 2 together

Then there's Voo Doo - a Haitian belief - I live in Montreal and there's a large Haitian community here because we are a french speaking province - did I piss a Haitian off recently?

Sometimes I get sharp jabbing pains in odd places on my body - OMG - is someone jabbing pins in a makeshift Simply Vintageous Suzy Q body?

Then there's the Italian Evil Eye - and I did have words with an Italian customer last winter who basically wanted what I was selling for 1/2 the price - I couldn't do it - and she got quite upset with me -

 I don't know which one it is - but it could possibly be that all three have been placed on me...................
 because I can't sell a damn thing!

 In the winter - when you'd think it would be more difficult things were flying out the door -

 Does anyone know how to reverse any of the above, lol

 I don't think it's the Irish Curse - too old now already
 The voodoo doll is probably far fetched because I have not offended a Haitian ( to my knowledge )
 But the evil eye?
 That woman was a bitch - yeah - think I'm going with that!
 How long do these curses last, lol???????

 I can live with the sharp jabbing pains from time to time
 I can live with sore ankles
 BUT I NEED TO SELL MY FURNITURE - I'M RUNNING OUT OF SPACE HERE!!!


 Hugs,
 Suzan

 p.s. really just joking
