Vacations Are Over!

With apologies for being so silent during the last few weeks, I’m back! Back from Peru, then back from Easter Island, and now, just plain back from vacations.

And I came back to an empty place.

I don’t mean empty-empty, but empty-as-in-Attitude-is-gone-empty.

When I came back in, it was just Minx in here. She’s setup a nice little home for herself in the cupboard above the fridge. She’s actually brought miniature (Barbie-sized) furniture in there. She even made a tiny spiral staircase that allows her to walk up and down between the two shelves of the cupboard. Top shelf is the bedroom, bottom shelf is where she’s setup a little living room.

But anyway, I digress.

When I came in, she said she was in charge of the place now, and I’d better behave.

“Where’s Attitude?” I asked.

“And by ‘behave’,” she replied, “I mean you don’t answer questions, you just ask them.”

I could see she was a little new at this. I figured I’d be helpful, so I tried correcting her.

“You mean, you don’t ask questions, you just answer them.”

“Watch your tone, mister!” she said, turning red in the face. “You don’t give ME orders!”

“Hey, chill out, I was just…”

She zipped right up to my face and poked me in the nose with a tiny finger.

“Now YOU chill out!”

ZAP!

There was a sparkle between her finger and my nose, and suddenly, it turned real cold. My nose, I mean. What the heck??? What kind of a curse was THAT?!? I glared at Minx. She looked embarrassed, shuffling a foot in the air and keeping her hands behind her back.

“Oh, um… I… Sorry ’bout that!”

And on those words, she dashed away and took refuge in her mini-apartment above the fridge.

  1. Sounds like you’re going to get to help break in a trainee. This could actually be fun for you, although she could be in trouble if she winds up taking too much of your advice.

  2. Huh…. well, with attitude gone, your life should slow down a bit and stop being so hectic. Although, i do pity the other person that gets attitude. Still, she was a fun little sprite… ah, the fun times… well, fun for her at least.

    In any event, you should probably give minx a small house-warming gift. The question is though, what do you give a 3 inch pixie as a house-warming gift when she’s set up her home in the place above your fridge? That’s the tricky part. Personally? i suggest chocolate. Nothing is better for any female, supernatural species or otherwise, than chocolate.

    Wait a minute… why do i suddenly feel a chill going down my spine, like there’s something bad about to happen? like they always say in star wars my friend: “I got a bad feeling about this…”

    1. What if she’s allergic to chocolate? Personally I’d suggest a 4″ standing mirror for Minx’s apartment, if she doesn’t already have one. Not sure whether to suggest a simple mirror or something more decorative.

      1. hmmm…. vanity eh?

        well, chocolate may not be one of the seven deadly sins, but it could be 😉

        seriously though. with attitude gone, this makes chills go down my spine. Bad juju is goin down my friends, baaaaaaaaaaaaad juju…

  3. Glad to hear you’ve survived the overseas!

    Hmm, a new faerie eh? If you play your cards right, you could trick her with reverse psychology into giving you some ‘benefits’ if you know what I mean.

    Of course this begs the question, what is Attitude doing?

  4. Of course this begs the question, what is Attitude doing?

    *** Pedantic mode engaged ***

    Surely you mean raises the question as “begging the question” is something completely different.

    1. You make a fair point. But begging and raising aside, the question needs to be asked.

      1. The smart money says: investigating the faerie who was yanking on Morgan’s strings. This may or may not involve her visiting with this ‘Countess Ylang-Ylang’ for a while…
