Very good price Mister !!!

This is probably the first post I've truly fought with myself to put out there but I can't keep this to myself - I just can't
It may be politically incorrect - I'm not sure but I have tears running down my face with laughter typing this up.............and most of you know John enough by now to know that THIS happening to HIM makes it all the more funny.
This has just struck my funny bone so deeply that I'll die from laughing if I don't share.
If you were a fan of Seinfeld you'll think it's funny -
I'm apologizing in advance to people that I offend !!!

Oh.  My.  Goodness. - where to start?

I found a dresser on Craig's list - and asked him if he'd pick it up

A while after he left he calls me

John says - You sent me to a Korean Brothel
Suzan says - Pardon me?
John says - You sent me to a Korean Brothel
Suzan says - What on earth are you talking about?
John yells - the dresser you sent me to pick up - it was at a Korean Brothel

By now I start laughing and I can't stop

Suzan says - Please John don't be ridiculous -
John says - I'm not picking up any more furniture - this was it - the last of it.
Suzan says - How could you possibly know it was a brothel ?

Ok - this is where my stomach is hurting from laughing - O.M.G.!!!
It's shocking - but trust me - once the shock wears off it's out of this world funny

John says - She told me the price for the dresser - and then told me it was 20.00 for a blow-blow
Suzan screams - WHAT???
John says - I'm not repeating it Suzan
Suzan says - You misunderstood her John - she also had a mirror for sale - I saw it
John says - TRUST.  ME.  I.  DID.  NOT.  MISUNDERSTAND.  ANYTHING.  AT.  ALL.
John says - She told me it was 20.00 for a B.L.O.W - B.L.O.W
John says - 20.00 dollars - Very good price, Mister
Suzan says - OMG - what did you say?
John says - " I'll just take the dresser thank you very much "

Now I can't even stay on the phone - I seriously can't get the words out - I'm choking on laughter - tears are in my eyes -
This poor stiff British proper man of mine in such a situation is just too funny for words .............

John says - Glad you find it so funny
John says - You should have come with me
Suzan says - well you wouldn't have gotten the offer had I been hanging on to your arm honey !

So..............................
I walked around the house all evening dying -
Every time I looked at him I'd start shaking with laughter.................
I went to bed giggling - and was still giggling long after he went to sleep.............
I woke up - glanced over at him and started laughing all over again.
I'm laughing while I'm typing !

My stomach muscles haven't worked that hard in ages.

Painting furniture - I wouldn't trade it for anything LOL

And that's it for today -
Hope you all get to have a good belly laugh at some point this weekend
Sometimes a laugh is so much better than a makeover - don't you think?

It's taken me all morning to contemplate hitting publish
Here I go !!!

Much love,
Me

RUBY....................a dresser makeover

Meet Ruby 

You know her

Someone wrote a famous song about her once

You've painted up your knobs

and waxed and buffed your tinted drawers

Ruby are you contemplating running out the door ?

The shadows on the wall tells me the sun is going down

Oh Ruuuubbbby - don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that whole crazy chalk paint fad

But I was proud to restore all the pieces that I had

and yes it's true that I'm not the girl I used to be

Oh Ruby ..........................there's still creative sparks in me

It's hard to love someone who gives furniture the " eyes "

And the wants and the needs of a dresser your age
Ruby I realize

But it won't be long I've heard them say

Till wood comes back around

Oh Ruby -
Don't take your love to town..................................

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Emperor's silk - clear and dark wax
Kenny Rogers inspired song..................
Just so you know that although she was quite a bit of work - this whole dresser took 1/2 tin of
Emperor's silk -  HALF A TIN !!!!!!!!!!
Incroyable !!! ( I feel like getting all bilingual on you today )

Now excuse me - she's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door

the way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
and if I could move - I'd get my brush and paint her boring brown
oh Ruuuubbbyyyy -
for God Sakes TURN around ........................

I could have used Ruby Tuesday - since I actually painted her on Tuesday - either way it's all about her leaving me .....................

The lady is a tramp ( there you go - 3 songs in one post )
A perfect " Fall " color - because that's all I'm willing to do for Fall at this point lol
I'm NOT ready for it!
And I'll probably mention that in every single post until I am !

Have a wonderful day y'all !
I have some work to do on this beauty!

See you tomorrow - bright and early ♥
Much love,
