Whew! I’m glad that’s over.
I was visiting on the phone with my sister-in-law in Colorado. That is what I said to her.
We were talking about the first of three or more consecutive holidays and saying we were glad Halloween was over.
Don’t misunderstand.
I enjoyed decorating the front door and giving treats to the trick-or-treaters in their sacks and cute costumes. I appreciated the moms’ and dads’ efforts to give this occasion a special touch with the events they sponsored.
However, I did not enjoy “looking at Halloween” for a month.
How is that for a schizophrenic attitude?
Or maybe it’s “old lady” talk. Ya think?
And now that Halloween is over, we can get ready for the next one!
Oh, do I have to? Is there somewhere that I can run away to?
Can we skip the same routine we do every single year and vary this a bit?
Oh, forget it! Just be a good girl and climb on the conveyor belt and do what you did the last many years.
Yes. I am fickle and double-minded.
I just might be a reincarnation of a Pushmi-Pullyu.
Yes, that’s what I must be.
Do you remember that animal with a head at both ends of the body featured in the “Doctor Dolittle” books and movie? A Pushmi-Pullyu is a gazelle/unicorn...
