Today's POT ......

I went to lunch yesterday with my book group girls.
We were celebrating the 37th sobriety B-Day of one of the "girls".
( note: the majority of book group are AA ... there is one other " normie " besides myself )

We discussed life in general.
One topic was that our house is on the market one week this Sunday.

It was suggested that I buy a small statue of St Joseph and bury him upside down in the front yard.
I had my iPad with me at the time. I googled "bury St Joseph" ... And, whatdoyaknow ?
There are web sites specializing in kits to bury St Joseph!


When I told "my girls" I was probably not going to do this .... They threatened to bury one for me.

I just love my girls !
kiss

I just noticed that Pointless Other Things when you abbreviate it spells pot....Did you do that on purpose? Are you growing special plants in your back yard? smile

I think I didn't get enough sleep last night.

And I think you should get the St. Joseph kit, even though I have no idea what it is supposed to do.

Pep, you are if anything, not a "normie!"

Yes. It came up in conversation and on the web that poor St Joseph should be buried feet up.

Oh my!

laugh too funny, lol

I hope your house sells quickly, Pep! We put ours up for sale in May, assuming it would be weeks, if not a month or more on the market. It sold in a week. YIKES!

Congratulations!
H and I are blessed to have a ton of equity.
Which means, we have been able to price our home lower than the other comparable homes in our neighborhood.

I will be going to the Catholic store later today to purchase a statue.

It's funny, when I told my H this he said his family in Texas always buried a saint in the yard.

Heck, I painted the front door RED to garner some feng shui mojo.
Well, not really.
I just thought the red door was pretty.
It is.

Today's POT .....

Moroccan hair oil.
Love it.
Do not care about the cost.
BESTEST HAIR PRODUCT EV-EH!

I'd never heard of burying a St. Joseph's statue for a quick sale. That's one of those "hey, it couldn't hurt to try it" things, I think. wink

I'm looking up Moroccan hair oil as we speak. Considering I have the worst hair ev-ah, that, too, would fall under the "couldn't hurt" category. smile
