The Holy Tea is now 3 for 3, because not only did 1) the burner go back to normal shortly after the ritual, 2) I regained access to Dawn’s blog after the ritual but this afternoon, 3) the clock’s timer on the cellphone emitted the normal sound when cook time ran out.
I’d anticipated that, since the timer was the last to go, it would take a few more days before it recovered from damage done by that angry tree spirit, and so it became.
Today’s Halloween bingo wasn’t as boring as I’d anticipated.
Instead of calling out numbers, the caller called out characters, and we only played three bingo games, rather than the ten they usually call.
I won the first game.
As you can see, instead of chips we covered the called-out characters with little pumpkin faces.
Prizes were not set out on a table for us to choose from. Instead, a mystery bag was walked over to us.
Inside my bag were Halloween socks, which I plan to wear all year round.
Not a lot of costumes, but the ones that came dressed for the occasion were fun to see.
I did not wear my full skeleton outfit. It was too hot to wear the skeleton top, so I wore just my old leggings, my skeleton workout gloves and green lipstick.
Crafty Lady was of course present, and she read as …… salty.
I made a point to not be rude and ignore her. Instead, I walked over and, just to say something, came up with "You’re not in costume".
"No".
"Why not?"
"I don’t celebrate Halloween".
"Are you Jehovah Witness?" (cause I know they don’t celebrate Halloween).
"No. I just don’t like all the devil stuff".
"I love it".
"I know you do".
How can she tell …… what gave me away, LOL.
At any rate, that was the only time I noticed her during the event. After that, I was busy taking pics, no idea what she was doing, but it seems that when I ghosted her, did not come down to the Community Room to pick up whatever it was she’d made for me, that did the trick …… she finally got the message and now is giving me polite but salty about it.
Works for me.
When the party was in full swing, Kesha showed up …… and this wasn’t even her day to work.
She passed out little packets of candy, went table to table taking down names of attendees (about 30), so she can claim credit for the event, even though she had nothing to do with it ……… other than show up, give us little packets of candy.
I got three hugs …… one from Ernie when he first walked in, another one from Ernie after he left, came back, greeted me again; and lastly, a hug from the Clown, after which we took a photo together.
Her clown shoes were killing me, ROFLMAO.
I've never before introduced Ernie to the blog, never gave him a blog name, never considered him important.
He's just a normal dog walking guy, friendly to everyone, greets me with "Hey, beautiful", and hugs everybody with no hidden agenda.
I don’t know what got into Dream Lover when, at one point, he invited me to sit on his lap.
I pretended I didn’t understand and walked away.
Sit on his lap? Cripes! Love those clown shoes.
ReplyDeleteThinking back on what prompted that request .... remembering that pic of my sitting on Meat Man's lap, Dream Lover was present, saw it. That image must have been rolling around in his pea brain since, may be a little jealous, but Cripes is right. I love that clown's spirit. She's in her 90's and knows how to have fun.
DeleteMaybe Dream Lover wants to jump your bones! LOL. Love your blog. Diane in Ohio
ReplyDeleteBones ... Skeleton, LOL, I get it; but no shade, just fact, I doubt he's up to the challenge.
DeleteThis:
ReplyDelete"No. I just don’t like all the devil stuff".
"I love it".
Made me cackle.
And I love your skelly legs and then the clown shoes! That would be a pairing.
If she doesn't like all that "devil stuff", she should be grateful I ghosted her, LOL.
DeleteI’m glad the Halloween Bingo party was tolerable for you! Shirley, I need help! My house has suddenly picked up that negative energy and it’s kind of scary! I’ve had internet issues for weeks, & when the guys came here the 4th time they worked in the attic & mentioned they’d seen “droppings.” Animal removal company came yesterday & said it’s from bats! They’re federally protected & will be removed (alive) but not til Spring! And for several days my lights go dim every time an appliance turns on, including furnace. Electrician coming Monday. Will white sage help? I’m nervous!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord! Though bats are considered good luck, feng shui speaking, I'd not like to live with them. Pair that with lights going dim, appliances turning on, if it were me I'd move. Sage might help, but I'd make sure there's nothing dead in the house ... plants, flowers. Spirits sometimes are attached to items they had in life. So, if you've recently acquired something used, second hand or if your place came furnished, I'd be suspicious of those items. Sage, Candles, Crystals and speak to the entity, tell it to cut it out. Seriously! They listen. P.S. I recall once being told bats don't care for the smell of peppermint, so peppermint scented candles might implore them to leave on their own before Spring.
DeleteYou need to bottle that Holy Tea and make a million bucks!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guard what's left of my supply as though it cost a million.
DeleteSounds like Halloween Bingo was better than you expected: Crafty Lady got the message and you won a cool prize! Dream Lover must think you're EZ since you sat on Meat Man's lap that time... you might have to use a little of your Holy Tea on that creep, DL!
ReplyDeleteThe event was better than expected, but it's good I'd spent so much time away from the group. The time away helped me to resist the urge to yell at Upstairs Lady, who irritated me by consistently yelling SHUT UP, BE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR at attendees and YOU NEED TO SPEAK LOUDER at the caller. I had to also bite my tongue when the MAGA supporter who lives around the corner, kept putting in her 2 cents when she should not have. Once in a blue moon is all I can take of those idiots.
DeleteA good time! I agree, can you bottle the good tea?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking, the Gedatsu church is going to be getting calls about how to get some of that tea.
DeleteI must have missed the Holy Tea but knowing you I can just guess. Good on you for going to and enjoying Halloween Bingo.
ReplyDeleteYou snooze you lose or, in this case, miss the unfolding drama, LOL.
DeleteWell, looks like you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteGood, but not perfect because of having to restrain my wanting to strangle upstairs lady and the maga around the corner.
DeleteSo glad the Holy Tea is three for three, I put mine out and The Young Prince Saged inside and out as well. Thanks for my Packet, we definitely needed to remove some bad energy with all the recent chaos. Congrats on winning Bingo, it looked fun and it's good that some came in Costume, I liked yours. We had a great Halloween too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like that tea has its work cut out for it. Hope it can break through, be the catalyst for positive change.
DeleteSo far the Tea is just a nice Sepia color, but yeah, it has it's work cut out for it coz we've really been up against a lot all at once lately it seems.
DeleteI remember having days/month/years like that. I'd speak to the Universe say I don't know what I did in my last life to cause this but I'm sorry so can you please take your foot off my neck. Here's hoping the Holy Tea gives you some relief until the Universe decides enough is enough.
