John's Desk.................

Suzan says - If we're thinking of selling we're going to have to get this house in order - starting with the office
John says - ( AND I'M NOT JOKING ) Why - what's wrong with the office?
Suzan says - It doesn't show well..................you have to start taking care of your messes - I can't run after you anymore
John says - I have no idea what you're talking about -
Suzan says - If we move - I want my own office - I can't share one with you - it gives me anxiety
John says - Here we go with the theatrics - there's NOTHING wrong with the office.
John says - You have a problem, you know that anyway, I don't have to tell you that, you admit it yourself often.
Suzan says - I'd just like you to clean your desk please
John says - I did it a couple of days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzan says - Well I'M going to clean it
John says - Don't touch my desk - do you understand?
John says - I know where everything is on it - and don't start shuffling my papers around
Suzan says - I DON'T shuffle things around - I actually clean and organize............

Maybe he's right - maybe I'm over reacting................
My desk.

I use these votive holders that were in my Christmas stocking this year to hold paper clips etc

nice and neat

a small planter filled with Irises

and though this sideboard was such a great choice for storage in such a small room, alas,

it was sold

and this has taken it's place - my monogrammed armoire ( more about that HERE )

has proven to be a great place to shove all kinds of crap into.........

( think it's time to finish painting it now though )

a small sewing bench - painted and reupholstered 

also serves as a little extra storage

Our desks are modern - and don't have any storage so I added a little end table under mine

to hide our compulsive disorder when it comes to getting rid of telephone books?

and my " oops " table ( Here ) holds my newly acquired laser printer 

( because you can't do transfer gels without a LASER printer )

and this is spotless for John - SPOTLESS - 

he actually DID clean it a couple of days ago

don't ask me how he can actually find the mouse...............

( I wouldn't be surprised if a real mouse came scrambling out of that mess ) 

he wants a lap top - I say the fact that it actually has electrical cords attached to this thing is the only reason he can find it from day to day.

Guess what I did?

Yup!

John YELLS - SUZAN - WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?

John YELLS - I NEED A PRICE LIST - %^@#$%

Suzan says - I cleaned your desk - and I put everything away in a file for you for when you have the time to sort through it

He's still digging through my filing system...............

Have a wonderful day all!

Last day at April's

Four seats ready to be delivered to April's tomorrow - where I planned on spending the day doing last minute things................

The phone rings - and I hear John saying " no problem - no no - it's no problem at all - she'll be with us "

WTH?

John says - That was the mill - they're insisting you come to the meetings on Monday
Suzan says - I can't - I'm going to April's
John says - I think you may have to reschedule that - they're insisting
Suzan says - Well MY customer is insisting I be at her place tomorrow!
John says - But you don't do this everyday - the company still has to function here
Suzan says - I DON'T WANT to go - and what I do is just as important to me as what you do!
John says - LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY - THIS IS OUR LIVELIHOOD
John says - You're not bothering with the company at all anymore - between blogging - and furniture and custom pieces - AND I DON'T COMPLAIN

and this is where you can tell I'm on the edge of collapse here -
I break down crying
I mean really crying
Crying like I haven't done in a very long time...............
Crying like my world is coming to an end
Crying like if this menopause doesn't go away very very soon I may end up in a loony bin - seriously.

Suzan says - I can't go - gulp - gulp - sniffle - I have committments -
John says - Oh for God Sakes give me April's number...............

How old am I, you ask?
I'm 5 - going on 54.................

BUT - the strangest thing happened after my ahem " episode "

I felt better - over the top better................
Here I was thinking I needed sleep ( which I've now caught up on ) and all I really needed was a good
freaking cry!
When you're menopausing - a good cry is almost as good as a good night's sleep - almost.

And so....................
April's last day will have to wait a day.

but this is sort of how they'll look when I get my butt over there.................
( the chair is mine - very similar to June's but mine is white - I had never screwed the seat in so it was easy to
just prop this on lol )

SORRY APRIL.....................bet you'll be happy to see the last of me at this point :(

have a great Monday all - I'll be the one with the phoney hypocritical smile plastered to my face all day

talking about fabric

pretending I'm interested

oohing and ahhhhing over textures and colors

acting like it's THE fabric that's going to be THE runaway seller this season

when I just don't care about it

anymore

at all............................

I have a surprise that I made for April - ( sorry it has to be a surprise for you too - at least until she's seen it )
so this was especially disappointing...................

P.S. I just reread this - what a train wreck I am LMHO - why am I sharing all this with everyone?
Next I'll be letting skeletons out of the closet - making them all dance for you...................
Oh you'll rue the day you ever came across my blog I'll tell ya!
