Weird things of the past week include:
- Two grown women in the middle of traffic in a full-blown fist fight on my way home from work. And I don't think they were drunk as it was 2:00 in the afternoon. Well, maybe it was not-so-happy hour that got to them.
- Mayhem at work. Lots of goblins at play there these days. Can't go into them here for obvious reasons. Just color it weird....and not so fun.
- Em and I were in the car at a stoplight when there was a knock on the passenger side window. Em screamed and found some haggard old woman wanting her to roll down her window. She was lost and confused. I went to help her and then I saw that she was behaving erratically and approaching other cars, so we sped away. We live in Chicago--you get the heck outta there in those situations.
- After searching the entire Goodwill store for a music-themed white elephant gift (for a band party we were going to) for an hour, Joe just "happened" to look on the top of the shelves and found a 47 year old band trophy. (Insert creepy music) I'm not kidding--we had been down that aisle 18 times and never saw the darn thing--it seemed to just "appear". And oh, by the way, it was the rockinest white elephant EVER.
I'm gonna be hunkering down with my bowl of Halloween candy until all this weirdness goes away. Or until the bowl goes empty.

Happy Halloween Lin:)
Weirdness. Great WE gift though. I am always trying to find one for our epic party!
I'm having major trouble here. Trying to picture your life as "dull and boring." No, it's just not working.
Ai Ai Ai.... sounds like you have had your Halloween scares for the month!
doo do dooo do doo do.......... (eerie music).........
Major weirdness, my friend! Happy HAlloween!
Happy Halloween to you all! So glad to hear your feeling better :)
It will all pass...eventually.

Yesterday a guy comes in my line at work, with red contacts in his eyes and fangs. Yeah, he freaked me so much I accidentially rejected his credit card.
I like the little white pumpkin too. Actually I don't think there is anything weird about your encounters; work is always weird but the trophy find was kinda cool - maybe a little hocus pocus there
What a weird week! Anyone knocking on my car window would totally freak me out!
The little white pumpkin is adorable :)
Goodwill is THE source for things like that, huh? Awesome that it magically appeared! ;)
That knock on the window would have freaked me out too!
I would have screamed too if someone knocked on my window! That's why I always look my car doors even though nothing like that has never happened to me. Now I know it could!
Great job Joe for finding that band trophy!
Happy Halloween!
Do not worry, the Great Madame Daisy predicts a safe and happy Halloween!
Since when do you have a dull and boring life Lin?....lol
Happy Halloween and let the ghoolies be gone
It's a epidemic of weirdness across the Midwest! I'm thinking it's gotta get better.

Mary Ann--Yeah, you too, pally!
Diana--Oh, this was a CLASSIC! I'm gonna post the photo tomorrow.
Chuck--Well, it's exciting on a boring scale. Does that make sense?? I mean, nothing REALLY exciting happens--I just make a big deal out of things. :)
Diane--Oh, criminy! That old lady knocking on my window scared the crap outta me!
Hot Rocks--Oh yeah, cue the Twilight Zone music!
DJ--Oh yeah, the face is great. It's the rest of the world that is wonky!

Grace--Wait until you see it! See tomorrow's post. Work is EXTRA weird these days.
Duni--I have NO idea where she came from! Em and I were freaked out!! Em says she was a ghost. I wonder??
Violet--Oh, we bought an old VCR for $3.99 and some old tapes for .49 a piece. I hope they work! Needless to say, I don't go there much, but I may now!
Beaded Tail--We have NO idea where that woman came from! We were soooo scared! My spidey senses told me to get outta there quick.
Helene--I was just thinking about you today, Helene! Where ya been??? I miss you!
Daisy--Whew! Thank you! I loved your costume today, Daisy. :)

Lola--Well, lookie who's back!! YEAH!!! LOLA is BACK!! :)
Jean--I think that worked, Jean. Thank you!
I like the first one on your list. I may be odd, but I always like seeing a good fight between two strangers, as long as I'm not too close to it. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I find a fight amusing.
But it's all this weirdness and amazing stories that we come back to your blog again and again, LIN!
You do live an interesting life!!
Happy Halloween!
Ratty--It was one of those "should I or shouldn't I laugh" kinda moments. I mean, it was hilarious and pathetic at the same time. I'm just glad it wasn't in front of MY car!! Hahaha! Good to see you here, pally. :)
Veronica--Doesn't everybody see this silly stuff going on around them?? Or do I just "see" weird people?? :D
Wow, that's a crazy set of random events! I'm with you on the get the heck out of there thing...being from Baltimore you NEVER open your window or door for ANYONE!!! If you want to be charitable, donate to an org, you know?
Nancy--Emma is convinced she was a ghost!! I was going to help her until I saw her going from car to car for help. I think she was wacky. I packed up my guilt and hit the gas!
I think the pumpkin on the right has something in his eye!
