Alas, I did not make my Saturday blog post on Saturday, because I was too tired. My activities were not scattered but rather concentrated. I was at the Cozmic Cauldron Halloween Bazaar at Johnson Park in Liverpool, NY, trying to help my sister sell her books.
The beautiful author herself!
She concentrated on her murder mysteries rather than her romance novels, since it was a Halloween Bazaar. I piped up with my opinions on the books while she told people about them. One of the vendors told me I should come to her booth and help sell her blankets. I had to laugh at that. I can’t sell things! When I was employed and had to sell things, I always flopped miserably. It is all very well to say, “You didn’t believe in your product,” but I did! I told people the good things about the products and how it would benefit them. But let us not dwell on my sordid past.
Me, trying to fit in at the Halloween Bazaar.
Since it was a Halloween Bazaar, I dressed up in a costume. If anybody asked me what I was supposed to be, I would have said, “Oh, just a common or garden ghoul.” It is my go-to costume: Just find stuff in my house that looks a little wild. The skull is not part of the costume; I had picked it up from Diane’s decor. I think if I wear the costume to a party I have been invited to, I should provide myself with a skull to carry around. Props are so important.
