gone baby gone

my bag was stolen. at 3:30 today from pioneer park.

i'm placing a hex on whoever stole it! my bag will be like hot lava on their sticky fingers.

meanwhile...it means my cell phone is probably in a dumpster somewhere. with everyones' numbers on it.

now that my debit card is cancelled i'm starting to think about what i really need.

i really need the following to BE RETURNED:
my mother-in-law's digital camera, my vinylicious wallet, my nissan thermos, my Farmers Market book, and my laptop cord.

and my cell phone.

did i mention my mother-in-law's camera? urgh.

uhh...someone is calling my work number from my stolen cell phone.

*****
k, dear reader, 30 seconds after i put the lava curse on my bag someone called to return it!

i am so witchy i can't believe it. =)

i ran down the street and met the nice man and woman in front of city limits bar. they were living out of a grocery cart full of random essentials. the top of their cart had a layer of well tended plants. the couple had a portable container garden! i hugged and thanked them for being so wonderful to track me down. and then i start crying because i couldn't give them any money when i checked my empty wallet.

when i cry it's an event. spectators want the blotchy-faced lady to feel better NOW.
homeless people want ME to feel better. NOW.

and this is why being a cursing, hex-placing, crying lady...works. the squeaky wheel gets oiled (and patted on the back.)

now what i NEED is...
for that homeless couple to have my stolen cash after all. and to spend it on cool stuff that isn't a meth addiction.
i can hope...

you're so lucky to get it back, even without cash! :)

Raq, we all know that you have the power to curse and bless, which is one of many reasons it is better to be your friend than enemy. I hope the coupe has your money too.

I read a lot of blogs and this is the best post I have seen in AGES! You have such gift with hexing! Have thought about teaching the skill at enrichment?

one more confirmation that you indeed have special powers.

Was it that really cute bag you got at 110?

phew. i was relieved to read the end of your story! i lost my cell phone on the NYC subway Sat. night. and yeah, no one called to return it yet. but i'm the new owner of an incredibly discounted Nokia phone: the salesperson felt sorry for me when i told him my story. gotta love being a girl sometimes.

LOVE IT!

i love people. my faith in people has increased significantly because of the trillion times i've lost my wallet and it has ALWAYS been returned. (knock on wood).

so, while i do believe (and love) that you are a witch, i also believe that people are full of caring.

What a useful skill; but I must confess also being impressed by the portable homeless garden.

PS. I'll register for the hexing class, too. But I suspect it is not so easily taught.

Wow, I'm so glad you got it back. That was crazy.

OK, now I have to really get going on that garden. I guess that I can't use the "I live in an apartment" excuse. If a homeless couple can have a garden, then so can I!
