turning

Filed Under Postcards

oh joy. oh bliss. oh rapture. today i leap back into the world of the positive as i share with you some Very Good News: in the past hour, i received an email from ebay notifying me that the star next to my name is now blue.

yes, indeed. you are reading this from the fingertips of an ebay blue starer. 50 - count them - 50 people have said good things about me. i hope you can hear the trumpets bleating and the firecrackers snapping in the background while the parade comes to order and prepares to promenade.

the email goes on to say that my blue star is from purchases only and asks (perhaps logically) why don’t i consider SELLING something. there’s even a tutorial available to help me get started selling.

with promises of how quick and easy it is to sell on ebay, i’m thinking that maybe this is not such a bad idea. maybe this is divine providence. a sign. the proverbial window opening.

here’s what i have so far:

Straw Ripe for Spinning into Gold

Free Shipping!
Buy It Now - oh, please, please, PLEASE buy it now
Ships to: anywhere in the universe and beyond

For your consideration and creative pleasure, I offer my memories of events of last week. The physical aspects of the trauma have already been experienced, true, but the opportunity for spinning straw - and in this case, poison ivy, pinestraw, and miscellaneous other botanical bits, too - into gold still available. Offer presents vast opportunity for finding something good in a horrible situation involving one’s inhumanity to another.

Seller: Woman who was much younger this time last week
Feedback: 100% positive, a real blue star kind of gal

    Oh I didn’t even bother to read the whole thing - I just immediately FREAKED OUT that you might have had some really cool stuff on e-bay and I hadn’t known it and what if I wanted that stuff you had been selling so much it felt like a need?!!? Then as I settled down enough to actually read for content, I was nourished. Who says parallel lives never connect?!
