2. 1.

   an angry outburst; a temper tantrum.

   
   

   
   

   With moving day fast approaching a lot of you have been asking how I'm " holding up " - well I think I was doing just fine until last night actually.

   
   

   When I had my first ever in my life HISSY FIT.   

   
   

   Last night we ordered supper in - and I was tired and cranky - and couldn't think of the name  of the dish I wanted - which was baked Rigatoni ( au gratin - with cheese ) but all I could think of was Baked Cannelloni - it sort of sounded right and it sort of didn't - I was too tired to figure it out to tell you the truth and so and off I went to pack some more boxes.................

   Hissy fit's are ugly - and the older you get the uglier they get.

   I'm not much of a Hissy Fit person - really I'm not - in fact I don't know if I've ever had one before to  be honest with you - I know that I've NEVER broken anything on purpose in my life - as in throwing things around.  I can be a spoiled brat - but I'm not destructive.

   
   

   Anyway I was starving - absolutely starving - and the only thing that enabled me to pack another few boxes was that my RIGATONI was on it's way.................I could smell it in my mind - I could taste it - that first cheesy savory mouth watering bite.

   But of course - Rigatoni is not what arrived - the restaurant delivered what I ordered.
   Idiots.

   AND I DIDN'T WANT CANNELLONI - 

   and I was feeling extremely sorry for myself - because really - I wasn't asking for so much - just a plate of my favorite Italian food...............

   
   

   I looked at it - and looked at it - before putting it on a plate and then looked over at what John had ordered which was a whole pizza for himself - and I gingerly asked " do you think you could share your pizza with me ? "

   
   

   The poor guy was every bit as starving as I was - and so for the briefest second -   a very brief fleeting second he showed a little annoyance - 

   
   

   And the HISSY FIT came out of nowhere -

   AND I DO MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE.

   
   

   It took over completely  - 

   I listened with disbelief as John - realizing what I was about to do, said - DON'T DO IT SUZAN

   And I watched with horror as it took control of my hand and flung the plate into the wall - smashing it into pieces -  

   
   

   And then I calmly walked out of the kitchen and resumed packing.

   
   

   The hunger pains completely vanished.

   
   

   AND that my friends was my first and last Hissy Fit - I don't think I like them because

   I HAD TO GO IN THE KITCHEN AND CLEAN UP THE MESS - whereupon I remembered that I really do love Cannelloni - 

   A.  Lot.
   
   Tonight -
   Suzan says - You won't believe this John - but I still feel like Rigatoni
   John says - Funny you say that Suzan - I feel like throwing a plate into the wall
   John says - Let's try to get invited to a Greek Wedding, shall we?
   
   TOUCHE - HE WINS....................

   
   

   The End.

   
   

   P.S. John left me a slice of pizza.

   Which I didn't eat. 

   Because when you're busy acting like a five year old you bite off your nose to spite your face.

   
   

   P.S.S. Thank goodness I packed up all the good dishes last week 

   
   

   P.S.S.S.  I slunk into the kitchen and made a double scoop ice cream cone after John went to bed - which is exactly what a child would be craving.
   
   P.S.S.S.S.   Does this mean I'm now officially a shameless HISSY?
   and is that better than being a HUSSY?  and do Hussy's have Hissy fits?
   The End - no really it is

         Menopause - schmenopause - and we'll just blame it on that, ok?

I have no business doing this, except..................

I put an offer on this tonight - without the mirror I think it would make a pretty gorgeous buffet!

John says - I'm NOT picking it up
John says - Good luck getting it yourself
Suzan says - But it's a steal - and I can do something incredible with it
John says - WE'RE MOVING IN 2 WEEKS - WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU???????????

It was on Kijiji ( which is an off shoot of Ebay here in Canada - not sure what the difference is because we also have Ebay but the great thing about Kijiji is that it tells you how many hits an item has generated )
which sort of gives you a clue on whether you have a chance of getting it - this was only viewed 19 times so the odds are pretty good.....................

Unlike this one - which is FREE -

Which has had 947 hits LMHO - and still I've inquired - because you never know - I may be the last one and they may go in that order when reading the emails, right?

I contemplated this at 30.00 - because you couldn't even make one for that price

But I can't think of a wall to put it against...................am I crazy?  Should I get it?

If any of you are going to be in the Montreal region this weekend - and you happen to have an extra set of handcuffs - could you come by do you think?
I need my hands to stay off the key board - just for another 2 weeks - until we move..............

Suzan says - Do you know where I can find a pair of handcuffs John?
John looks at me - and raises an eyebrow - You're not putting handcuffs on me dear
John says - You going to get kinky now?
Suzan looks at him in horror - IT'S TO STOP ME FROM GOING ON CRAIG'S LIST AND KIJIJI
John says - Sure they are Suzan
Suzan says - It was a JOKE John - I never thought of it for anything else!!!
John says - Sure it was Suzan

I'm 5 minutes away from buying this too - because in my mind it's already Paris Grey and Old White...........

and I'm thinking this

for 15 dollars would look great ( the measurements are perfectly in sync )
on top of this

Which reminds me of what I wanted to show you all along - except I got sidetracked with everything else.
I did some sanding tonight - it just looked a little to pristine

So a little bit here

and a little bit there

and

and finally

It's subtle - not a lot - but I like that it's grey peeping through instead of wood :)

Oh and it's only fair to tell you that John packed a bunch of boxes yesterday - woo hoo - if there was a contest I'd still win though..............just saying........................

Have a wonderful weekend everyone -
I may be scarce around these here parts because I only have one more weekend after this one to get everything done ( isn't that a round about way of saying I have 2 weekends left ? )

My head is whirling over all of this, I still can't believe we've sold - and found a place - and this will not be " home " very shortly - I can't quite grasp the reality of it all yet - all in 6 weeks........................

And it looks like Florida just may be the holiday of choice - sometime in January :)

LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND ON CRAIGS LIST LMHO
