Headboard Makeover for Team Suzan

Good morning everyone !!!

I'm going to be taking a couple of weeks off from IWLTW's ( possibly 3 )because a lot of work goes into them ( A LOT  ) and I really just don't have the time now  with moving day fast approaching...................

So you're stuck with a makeover today :(

John picked this up on Sunday afternoon - and I just couldn't wait to get my hands all over it lol
I was on the fence about buying it - but so many of you thought I should - so I did -

Suzan says - John - do you think you could pick up this headboard?
John says - NO - I DON'T THINK I COULD PICK UP THAT HEADBOARD
John says - I thought you didn't want it?
Suzan says - But a lot of my blogging friends thought I should go for it
John says - Do they all know we're moving in a about a week?
Suzan says- Yes they do - and they still think you should go pick it up for me.
John says - I don't know who's worse - you or them....................
Suzan says - I'm going to tell them that, you know.

LMHO - and for those of you that are on his side half the time - see where it gets you????

As soon as I heard him pull up I ran and got my brush out and was holding it as we walked in the door,
He came in - crouched - and looked behind boxes -
Suzan says - What ARE you doing?
John says - Just checking to make sure none of your blogging friends are on the premises.
John says - You seem to have a team behind you now.
Suzan says - Their all here in spirit, sweetheart
John says - Make sure you tell them I ran and picked this up for you
Suzan says - Of course I will - Thanks!!!

I do believe the man is getting a sense of humor.
I like it.
A.
Lot.

it sort of reminds me of this one - and in fact is made of the same material - some kind of resin I think
The one below has a coat of polyurethane on top of the chalk paint - and you can see the difference in the color - it's what I'm going to use on this one as well..................

Moving in 9 days - we're both a little frantic at this point.....................

But hey - I managed to get a headboard painted LMHO

Priorities - I seem to have a little problem with that :)

But John made me laugh and that's always a good thing in my world

The Dancing Queen?

I have an overwhelming desire to dance..........

In the midst of hundreds of boxes surrounding me at this point - calls to all the services to have everything transferred - countless calls to moving companies - notary appointments to set up - the only thing I feel like doing is dancing.................

Last night I blasted some old c.d's and started twirling around the dining room while packing -

John says - What the hell are you doing exactly?
Suzan says - The Boot Scootin' Boogie
John says - What?
Suzan says - A line dance - I'm line dancing - except I'm the only one in the line - come join me?
John says - You've got to be kidding me
as I stroll past him and do a quick shuffle - kick - shuffle and shake my boogie

John shakes his head -
John says - It's like living with a Schizophrenic
John says - one minute you're throwing plates into the wall and the next thing you're doing a bootie something or other  ( my plate episode can be found here. )
Suzan says- it's the BOOT SCOOTIN' BOOGIE - and I used to be the Queen of that dance..............

I grabbed his hand - and tried to get him to join me - but I'd have more luck dancing with these


Which I did for a little bit - but talk about boring - I mean they just sit there - like a - well -  a John actually!!!

Schizophrenia

(/ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfrniə/) is a mental disorder characterized by problems with thought processes and by poor emotional responses.[1] Common symptoms are delusions including paranoia and auditory hallucinationsdisorganized thinking reflected in speech, and a lack of emotional intelligence. It is accompanied by significant social or vocational dysfunction.

Reading the definition I think he may be on to something..........................

Still - I'd give anything to be a part of something like this 
( I know you've all probably seen this a million times - but it's worth it to see a million and one times - 
just to see the joy in the audiences faces - pure joy - which is not what John was showing as I shimmied
past him ) 

Flash Mob Extraordinaire!!!



Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone

Hey Macarena!!!!
