Sicilians..Gotta love them.

Cue the Godfather theme music….

As most of you know, and maybe not. My BFF, hubby, confidant, Knight in shining armor is a direct product of Palermo, Sicily. His father actually ran with Lucky Luciano and Myer Lansky back in the day. He even has a picture of him and his gang having lunch at some restaurant. His dad is like 99 years old. Seriously.

Anywho, Giuseppe will tell anyone, especially woman, that if you date a Sicilian, two to one, you’re dating someone that’s done ten to twenty.

Which brings me to this.

He comes from a HUGE family. Ninety-five percent of them are hard honest working people. His favorite uncle use to be a Politian that fought against the mafia and help clean up Palermo.

Use to be. He was murdered ten years ago. His torso was found in the river.

Giuseppe’s cousin belonged to the gang that did it. It was his father.

He went to the funeral vowed vengeance and two weeks later, three men where found sliced up in an alley.

He’s been on the run ever since…

Until now.

He’s back!

Our mutual “friend” called us from the States (We’re in Toronto now as I type this) and said, “Hey, guess who called?”

Giuseppe was in tears. Me too, but for a different reason. I don’t like this guy. He’s evil personified. Yeah, I had the pleasure of meeting him. He’s charming, Never trust charming people.

Giuseppe wants him to turn himself in. The worse he’ll get is life.

I know, you’re asking, “Isn’t that bad enough?” You read the stuff prior right?

So we’ve had a very emotional conversation with cousin. Don’t know where he is. And really don’t want to know. But we are trying to convince him to do the right thing

We’ll see. Stay tuned

What's with HUGE furniture in small places?

Names and locations are omitted to protect the innocent.

Okay, I have a relative that lives in this small apartment. One bedroom, NO DEN NO, DINNING ROOM. Remember that.

Just a bedroom, bath, kitchen and living room. Can’t be more than 700sq feet total.

So why do I walk in and bump into a HUGE couch, then turn around and bump into a HUGE love seat, try to step into the kitchen and stub my toe on a HUGE entertainment center with a HUGE T.V.

But wait. In front of the HUGE loveseat there is a HUGE coffee table, and if you take half a step forward…you ain’t gonna believe this. I slam into a HUGE dining table that seats 6!!! It’s butted right up against the couch so you can’t pull out one chair or sit on the couch!

Remember – no dining room folks.

Now this relative does this ALL THE TIME! I don’t care what place she moves into, she can’t seem to get the concept of SCALE!!!

Oh, we won’t even talk about the bedroom. But you have a pretty good idea right?

Do you know someone like this? That buys HUGE furniture that’s made for Buckingham Palace, but they live in Tiny Tim’s house?

What’s with that?

Oh, she also has the plastic on the furniture. The couch, the loveseat. Even down to the legs of the chairs for the dining table – CUSTOM MADE!

Was that an Interracial Couple on Match or eharmony.com????

It was on one of those online date things. I was just walking into the room and kinda saw the last few seconds of it. But yep, she was a sister for sure. Dark skin and two –toned French braids and he was white with dark hair and facial hair. Unless he was a really light brotha. LOL!

However the announcer seemed to stress. "We match based on compatibility." So it was possible that it was a mixed couple

YAAAY them!

So you do realize I’m going to be looking out for the commercial again right?

If any of you guys see itm holler!
