ghosts in the night
Special message to the person/s who secretly BOO’d my house sometime around 10:00pm last night and left that catchy poem and lovely gift basket:
First off, thank you for thinking of me (I prefer to believe that I was your first choice and not the only door on our block that didn’t already have a “You’ve been Boo’d” sign on their door). What a lovely gesture! I was so impressed with the halloweeny bag you used; it was truly one of a kind.
And the contents, well…let me just say, you simply cannot own enough spider infused kitchen towels, glow in the dark liquid bath soap or small porcelain pumpkin shaped candleholders. I am quite sure that is a lovely bottle of chardonnay and can hardly wait to try it, but since I drink only cab’s and Mr.Brat feels his drinking days are behind him now, it will just have to wait until one of our many get togethers in the near future. (To be completely honest here, I did think that the wax teeth were a little over the top, but you just never know when they might come in handy.)
Now…the downside to having been “boo’d”.
I hate to look a gift ghost in the mouth, but those little snickers bars that were strewn all around the bottom of the bag…um….well, that was just plain mean of you. Oh sure, they are cute and all..and so small one can hardly imagine that anyone could take exception to them…but the fact is…there were a bunch of them and …I am trying to diet these days….so when you add those two together coupled with the fact that it was around 10pm at night and I had been searching for a nighttime snack…well lets just say there are 3 less snickers bars right now. (Of course I dreamed of them all night and this morning when I got up the first thing I thought of were all of those snickers bars and I rushed downstairs only to find they were missing…I am thinking mrbrat had a bit of a chocolate party after I went to bed or he blessedly has hidden them from me..but either way…they are no longer a problem.)
2ndly…I now have to run out and buy multiple gifts, bags, towels, candy etc to recreate two more bags to leave on neighbor’s doorsteps tonight and I really didn’t have this all worked into my plans today…ah…but things change.
But most importantly…if and when Christmas rolls around and you again try to “Grinch” me (as I did you last year)…please keep in mind that I will still be on a diet, I drink Cab’s or better yet a two liter of diet coke, and that carrots and celery sticks would be more welcomed.
Oh…and maybe a Coach bag too.
Thanks,
Brat.
