If I weren’t so tired I’d try to fix this new, blue type. When I copied and pasted Brian’s info it showed up and CLASHED. I like my page clean. Anyway, let me tell you about this girl because I’ve never met anyone like her.
Unfortunately I got there late, so I missed her introduction. She looked 24 but she might have been 34. She talked fast, tripping over her words, she was so excited. She kept us spellbound, flipping her wild hair and bouncing on the couch she was perched at. She had short legs that just reached the floor and her little girl’s feet had purple suede Mary Janes on. I never got her name but I have a sheet with prices that has her Email on it. She had these pink framed glasses — That’s funny because she really did look through rose-colored glasses– very trendy with nothing on the top or bottom just the middle and sides. Then there was a bindi in the middle of her forehead, pink to match. She looked like a little curly-haired fairy.
She sat next to her case of bottles, always within reach. She is an aromatherapist. I think that’s what you call it. She said she was going to look at each of us and know what we needed. We were supposed to close our eyes and she would prepare strips of paper dipped in these essential oils.
But first she had to invite the fairies and gnomes to come. And the way she did that was by singing to them. Out of her mouth came the most beautiful, soft soprano, calling like you’d sing to your baby. I had to open my eyes and see if it was really her singing and not some music she brought. I barely opened my eyes and she was looking right at me. I shut them quickly and she started another song. She had a different tune for each group she was inviting. Who knew there were all these little creatures? All I could think was thank God my daughter didn’t come, I never would have heard the end of it.

Which aroma did she choose for you? Is she Indian? As far as I know, only Indians wear bindi.
Well, did the fairies and gnomes show up?
Sure would like to hear what your daughter would say – - – - so Mom’s the rebel.
Its not that I don’t like comments, its that I will get sucked into playing with Xanga more than working mostly. The number of people who email me is very few and mostly not regularly, I can cope with that. I am sorry you choose to restrict contact to comments only and won’t email, but I’m fine with it, you have your way of blogging and I have mine. Merry Crimble
I thought that the Little People all went home to Ireland at this time of year
Was she serious? Probably I am too much a cynic. I mean I see people on Xanga charging into the hundreds of dollars for an astrological chart based on an Egyptian theory of the world that might be quite attractive but I cannot possibly see how anyone can really seriously believe that where the stars millions of light years away were when you were born can possibly influence any aspect of my character at all. I regard all these people as charlatans, although I think that quite a lot of them are self-deluded and not necessarily coldly calculating as most financial scam artists. But then I’m a Deist existentialist and rather like the old IBM slogan, “the buck stops here”.

I’m also interested to know which aroma she chose for you and how you felt about it. I loved the last line of your post! Still grinning…
More details! I loved this, and it made me smile. I’ll have to go tell my mother about it.
We need to know the aroma for you…that is for sure. Gads you are really on a roll with your wild meetings and new friends…I’m a little envious but then I’ve had many such encounters when I was ready for such ideas. Oh, how funny it would of been HAD daughter been there!! tehe..marilyn
Your character sketches are so good. It’s like I’m sitting in the room with you.
I love that you looked, and were caught! If I had been there, I would have been thankful for a great story to tell.
You gave me chills and lol about bringing your daughter- I know exactly what you mean but it would be my sis and husband- I however enjoy the things I definitely doubt but would love to believe.
What scents did you need?
stopped by for a visit like your site will be back merry christmas

So, really, what aroma(s) did she think you needed? have you ever tried Bach Flower Remedies?
I’m not sure if I know whether she is cheesetastic or fabulous. But I like the entree.
Absolutely delightful sketch, one among many now. You’ve got her perfectly, in my mind. Yes, I, too, know lots of sprightly, innocent, fairy-magical sound healers… xo
Happy Festivities too! Hugs, love Brenda
I have the complete picture of this girl in my head now! I don’t care if she is charlatan or not, the experience and the way you described it was entertaining. And I have to agree the last line was funny. Without knowledge of you daughter, that one line at the end of the ethereal experience made her a character as mcuh as the fairy singer.
