What the heck?

[lindafishes8]

I've been on a cleaning/straightening and pitching rampage these past few weeks. If I haven't used it, worn it or read it in the past 10 years, out it goes. Three trips to the Good Will store have me cutting down on all my "stuff

*yay* for the closet cleaning. I did the same thing yesterday, having to wait until TBG is out of the house.

My mum did my sister's and my brother's, but not mine. I never quite got the whole bronzing thing myself.

Then it's not just me with the bronze shoes. What a relief!

I'm not done with the purging yet. My basement looms. there's tons of Halloween stuff (at least 25 tubs/boxes) and my baking supplies of which there's a lot.

I want to give away the Halloween decorations, much of it is new.

Coffin for sale! Used only once.

Wow, I wish I was closer. I'd take it off your hands!

Why? You in the market for a used coffin?

One year I went all out with the front yard- cemetery, picket fence, rolling fog, lamp posts and tons of signs. One sign read- Used coffin for sale. Only used once. Inquire within.

Would you believe a guy knocked on my door to ask about it? He was seriously looking for a coffin.

Later, I happened to notice a police car parked in front. A cop was in my yard, reading all the tombstones!

Your Halloween stuff, actually...

[lindafishes8]

I really have some great stuff, too. My parties always had a theme: Harry Potter, a murder mystery, spiders, Halloween movies, a corpse feast, mad scientists lab, etc. Eight blacklights hang from the ceiling with tons of glow-in-the-dark and fluorescent creatures and posters.

My next party would have been a corpse wedding. Have the clothes and the dummies. I was working on building a fog chiller. Then the back went and I had a knee replacement and fractured ankle. Stairs are now the enemy. Sort of gave up on having any more parties. They got to be too expensive with the buffet and everything. Plus, my guest list keeps growing and my house will only fit so many.

I know what you mean. The spirit is willing, but the body's gone to hell in a hand basket. That's me as well.

Our friends are getting older and they aren't as inclined to 'party' as they used to be. They prefer to sit around and chat over a dinner table as opposed to milling among others.

Getting old sucks in some ways.
