You don't bring me flour anymore...................

Two posts in one day - because I cannot freaking believe the conversation that just took place.

I know some of you may roll your eyes in the air - but these conversations DO happen - OMG they DO - and on a frequent basis.................

Sometime's I can barely believe them myself - as in this case in point - this morning.

John was on the road - I called him - because I need some flowers in my world right now



Suzan says - Could you do me a favor?
John says - Sure - what?
Suzan says - Could you bring me home a big batch of white flowers?

JOHN SAYS - I BOUGHT FLOUR IN THE GROCERIES THIS WEEK

I waited for the punch line - impatiently -

None came.

Suzan says - Are you serious?
John says - Dead serious - you asked me to pick some up - don't you remember?
John says - I think you're losing your mind you know

Possibly - this may just be the straw that broke the camel's back

Suzan tries again - pretending the first part of the conversation did NOT take place
Suzan says - could you bring me home a big batch of white flowers do you think?

BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S JUST KIDDING ME

John says - Look - I don't have time for this - I already bought flour
Suzan says - I DON'T WANT FIVE ROSES F.L.O.U.R.  - I WANT WHITE HYDRANGEAS
John says - You always use 5 Roses - I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS  I'll talk to you later
Suzan says - DO NOT BRING HOME ANY MORE FLOUR - F.L.O.U.R.
Suzan says - I want a batch of WHITE FLOWERS - F.L.O.W.E.R.S.

because this is all wrong for the living room - as resourceful as I am - I just can't make it work.



When it's good for you 
And you're feelin' alright 
Well you just roll over 
And turn out the light 
And you don't bring me flour flowers anymore ..................


( unless you count the 5 roses he so gallantly placed in my hands last week ) 

Have a great rest of the day - I'm going to try to arrange the flour............

*****************************UPDATE*****************************

He redeemed himself 



enough for a glass of water in the kitchen ( next to Audrey )



I fancy the glass up  a little with a glass coaster



and some in the living room



and because he brought them home I'm making him a beef stew




And which I'll use the first bouquet he bought me to thicken the gravy with :)


Much love,

  1. Well, you already KNOW I have his twin brother living here with me! When my son was staying with us after his divorce I called him and his Dad - Itch and Scratch!
    You know he is going to call your from the grocers and tell you he CAN'T FIND White Hydrangea FLOUR because all they have is Five Roses flour!!!! Wait for the call.....

  3. You know Suzan, I gave a little thought and maybe John needs a hearing aid??/ This seems to be a regular occurrence. Maybe he is just playing to see what you will do, nay, I am agreeing with some others, his a guy. You have to laugh at this one f or sure!!!

  6. This is TOO funny, Suzan! Okay, he doesn't bring you flowers, but does he sing you love songs? And if he does, ask him why the Brits seem to lose their accent when they sing. I could never understand this linguistic phenomenon!

  14. Hahaha...you do make me smile! Well, it looks like you got your flowers, after all. As crazy as it was :)

  15. I'm wondering how John would look sporting a shiny ear trumpet! lol
    He was wonderful for bringing you the flowers (not hydrangeas, right, but carnations??) Oh well, white flowers. And not white flour. But keep the arrangement of Five Roses Flour. It might grow on me.

    He sure did save himself from sleeping on the couch staring all night at the "5 Red Rose Flower!!!!"

    Beautiful flowers BTW!!!! LMBO!!!!

  17. Oh my word! This could be used by comediennes (sp?) and make $$$. You and John need to go out on the road and just talk....you'd make the big bucks! :)

    Love the flowers!

  21. I really had to giggle at this, are men all the same I wonder? I actually saw the most gorgeous white hydrangeas in the flower shop up the road yesterday and wanted to buy some but they were NZ$9 each which is about $8 USA dollars! I of course would have needed several but in the end changed my mind. However, seeing your hydrangea I think I might pop up tomorrow and buy one and a few other flowers and take some photos in case there is a painting inspiration.

  32. Consider yourself lucky, my males bring me dead mice when they want to make me happy! And they don't photograph very well on the living-room table either!
