*Starts organizing flower arrangements, menu, parking and of course, cutlery.* I don't need a bra for that. Right?

I posted twice because apparently once wasn't good enough.

Fourth!

well, if there was any comment that deserved two postings that one was it

Karen ^..^ said...

Cutco? LOL

Suzanne is hilarious, and nearly made coffee come out my nose. Not quite, though. I do have SOME composure.

Sorry, I'm a cutlery snob. I wish I could afford the good ones, but mine all have to match. ;)

Why am I not as picky with my standards with men?

happy birthday bob!

Suzanne said...

Merelyme...I think he's a Taurus. He has to answer honestly if he is. (Bob, you have to answer honestly if you are. That's the rule.) If he isn't a Taurus I've already eliminated 3 Zodiac signs. Only 9 more to go. We should know by the end of February at this rate. I have a wedding to plan, I can't stretch this into March. No time. God, he's such a pain in the ass, but a funny pain in the ass I think we'd all agree!

Kylie, thanks baby ~ I love you. You're my go to girl. Okay, now go and ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!!!! Cinnamon and I are dying. Seriously, what are you doing here? Get. Go. I swear to God Kylie, that's the best game EVER! It makes me laugh too hard.

Karen has gained composure. When the hell'd she find time for that? Karen, you aren't fooling anyone. I know coffee came out your nose. And honey, you don't need to be a cutlery snob. Just shop at Target. They have good knives for less. Look at me. I used to have money, now apparently I have none, but honestly, I never had a set of knives like Bob or Megan. I don't have a block of wood to put them in (did that kill a whole tree?). I just take them out of the dishwasher and throw them in the drawer. My sisters all have that pretty block of wood and nice knives to put in it, but really, how many knives do you need and what are you really after? Efficiency. Look, you need like 4 knives. Two big, two small. Two serrated, two not. Done. It's actually that simple. The "Cutlery" industry and the Food Network make you think your inadequate if you have less than 4. I'm here to tell you you're not. Oh, and you don't need a tree to store them, just a drawer. That's why kitchens have drawers and why KitchenAid invented that sharpening thingie. Look how much money you've saved already! Just make sure your steel blade goes all the way into the handle. You'll pay a bit extra for that, but you'll be grateful. No, I'm not kidding. I know knives. Why? Who knows.

Karen, sweetie, darling, honey, if your guys all matched you'd be so screwed up. Thank God they don't. I like you just the way you are...screwed up less! What? XO

Love you all.
Me

Megan said...

Suz, you crack me up. I will have to post the story of my knives someday...it's a good one.

Suzanne said...

Megan,

Finally, a conference with my "Bride to be." Thanks for making yourself available. So glad I "crack you up," but knock it off, we have a wedding to plan and not much time. Hummmmmmmmmm, when is the wedding? Here are a few questions darling:

1. Favorite color?
2. Honeymoon suite or Motel 6?
3. Do you need to borrow the Mercedes?
4. Flowers. Whadayawant?
5. Bob. You awake? God I love you and how you love us. For that I'm going to "gift you" a bedroom set from Ashley Furniture. Oh, sorry, been watching too much "Clean House."

Rob just called. I'm freakin' out. The Mercedes is going by~by. Needs a new engine. The new engine costs more than the car's worth, so Rob's down in Marin looking at 3 BMWs. I have fallen in love with my Mercedes. Rob knows this, but he said "I don't know Mercedes, I know BMWs. I swear to God, you will never sit your ass more comfortably in any car than in a Mercedes. For some reason that seat just wants to hug your ass and hold on for dear life. It breaks my heart to get out. But it's back to a BMW. Oh, what a sorry, sorry mess we've made. German cars. They grab hold and hang on for dear life. Rob just called. He's in our old car, but an "i" series. 40 more horse power (whatever that means). It's gorgeous. Same color, same year as our old one, just an automatic. He said "Sue, I think this is it. It's as if I just drove it off the showroom floor." It's his first test, but I believe it's our car. So basically I wrecked our car, found a Mercedes and ended up with our old car, just with more horse power. Oh, and I don't have to shift. WTF!!!

Suzanne...Bob will tell us because I am going to wish him Happy Birthday every day for the rest of the year...or until he either admits it or I wear out!

Cutco knives are the bomb. My '98 Escort told me so. (I will cry if anything happens to this car.) I bought it for 12K and am appalled at car prices today. Won't do it. Different strokes for different folks. Cutco and "kitchen apparel"? All the way, baby! (This is coming from someone who designed her kitchen around the range/exhaust hood.)

Since I've always been honest with all of you (as far as you know)... yes Blottie I am a Taurus.

The Taurus sign would make a really cool tattoo.

kylie said...

theres a real cool taurus design on my blog. i chose it!
it's the best sign bob, really. does your birthday match mine?

Suzanne said...

Bob, you know what's so funny? Taurus was my first guess of all time. But I tried to think outside the box initially, so chose the other two. How funny. So basically you're Karen and Kylie but in a man's body!!! Oh and you know what's really wonderful? Taurus is very compatible with Leo!!! Life is so good. Okay, so what day? Let's play the same process of elimination game. Let's start with the 15th. (Merelyme...how am I doing so far?!!! I KNOW!!! REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!!)

Oh, and just so you all know, I think we're going with the first BMW. It's a "keeper." And just so you all know, because this is CA, BMW's and Mercedes are a dime a dozen and go for practically nothing second hand. We should get this gorgeous BMW for around $2,000. It's in Napa, so a beautiful drive. Lucy us. And Merelyme, we paid about the same for the Mercedes. People just don't realize you can get a gorgeous German car for a reasonable price in CA. The BMW's going to be a keeper. Ten years...easy. The Mercedes needs work and wasn't worth what we paid, but God I love that car and enjoyed ever single moment! I'm absolutely hooked on Mercedes! A 12K 98 Escort or an 89 190E Mercedes for 2K. Please, don't insult the Mercedes!!! And BMW. I've driven them for over 20 years. They're heaven on earth. I swear to God, once you sit your ass in a German car it never wants to leave. I have no idea how Germans know Americans so well. But apparently they do.

Okay, gotta go. I have a wedding to plan and can't talk German cars all day.

I couldn't do without my knife sets. I'll not mention the brand though as they're not Cutco.
