Every lady should be treated like a Princess from time to time

We have a huge Queen sized mattress in the pool.
It's great but it's so big that when I lay on it not a drop of water touches my skin - no no no - I can't do that
So I use a cheap narrow floating mattress that allows me to almost be laying in the water as I float around.
Win - win - float - water - stay cool - 
Until it sprung a leak or 2 or 3 and I was almost completely submerged with basically just my head afloat

John was on his way out - 

Suzan says - Do you think you can pick me up a new pool mattress when you're out?
Suzan says - Nothing like the Queen sized mattress we have - it's too big - just one like the blue one I use.
John says - No problem - I'll pick it up on my way back.
Suzan says - NOT a huge QUEEN one okay?  ( I really do have to emphasize what not to get - I've learned through the years that if I don't do this at least 3 times - than he'll come home with exactly what I asked him not to bring home -  it's just the way it is -  ( some of you may remember when I asked for Flowers HERE )
John says - I HEARD you the first time
Suzan says - Ok - just want to make sure that you don't -
John interrupts - Don't say it again Suzan - I will not get you a Queen sized mattress..................
Suzan says - AND NOT A KING SIZED ONE EITHER 

Later on when he got back home

John says - Listen - this is all they had - it's a blow up mattress and it'll serve the purpose - 
Suzan says - You've got to be freaking kidding me?
Suzan says - A Disney Princess Mattress?
John says - What do you care?  It's 65 inches long so you can float on it



He doesn't even see how ridiculous this is......................
John says - Well it's a pool mattress - what the hell does it matter what's on it?
Suzan says - I'm not getting on that thing - have you lost your mind?
Suzan says - Where would I put my left breast?
John says - WHAT THE HELL?
Suzan says - Well there's certainly not room for all of me on this
John says - I thought it was 65 inches long?
Suzan says - 65 cm's John - centimetres - we live in Canada, remember?

John says - You're always complaining - whatever I get - it's not good enough
Suzan can't even respond - she's on the floor laughing
John says - as he walks away - Oh go jump in the lake
Suzan says - Well I WOULD have jumped in the pool, but............................


Obviously I'm not Cinderella -I'm her ugly step sister - but instead of the shoe being too small.....................

Anyway I'm hitting the town tonight -
We're off to an evening of French dining ( Provencal to be precise ) - and the comedy fest afterward - where Chevy Chase is headlining - not sure who else is on the list.
I need to laugh at something other than the things that go on in this house - at least for 2 hours or so :)

This is where I'll be around 6 p.m ( all below images come from the restaurant's site )
Le Mas des Oliviers


hopefully on the terrace


having some of this

and this


and maybe this


or this


and of course some of this


Because that's what Princesses eat when they dine !
Have a wonderful day all
Hugs,
