Mary's Murder Mystery Saga

From the moment Mary received a home murder mystery party invitation, she knew exactly what to do. This year she was assigned the character Barbie Kew, a southern-belle with a redneck edge who lives and breathes BBQ.

She couldn’t just put this costume together half-heartedly. This year the stakes were high. The person with the best costume at the party would win a four-night hotel stay for two adults, or a family of four in Nuevo Vallarta, with airport transfer! No joke!

She immediately ran to find her phone and to book an afternoon appointment for a color, haircut and style at John Nelson Salon to let Amanda Patmore transform her into a bleach-blonde bombshell. As every woman knows, if the hair ain’t good, ain’t nuthin’ good! However, she accidently called the Franklin Oil Shop! This is a blessing in disguise, she thought. My car’s actually due for a full-synthetic oil change, and I’ve been meaning to call! Oil change appointment booked.

Let’s try this again, she thought as she dialed the phone again.

“Thank you for calling Boxwood Bistro! What can we cook up for you today?”

Boxwood Bistro?! I thought I was calling the salon! she thought but was too embarrassed to say out loud. “Um, yes, I’d like your special of the day. I’ll be by to pick it up in 30 minutes.” Come to think of it, I haven’t had lunch yet. Another blessing in disguise!

A couple of weeks ago, Mary had seen some great apparel and accessories at Blush Boutique that would complement her costume perfectly, so she called the store to see if the items were still in stock. The third time must be a charm because she actually called the right place, the blingy jewelry was still available, and. …

“Congrats, Mary! Since you’re our 10^th caller of the day, you’ve won a photo-to-metal print!” What?! “This will be a great way to commemorate the exciting murder mystery party I’m attending!” she said.

Well, now that Mary had to go get an oil change, pick up lunch, and buy her jewelry, she didn’t know if she would have time for a hair appointment. She decided to take her chances and stopped in that afternoon, hoping that Amanda Patmore was available. And hallelujah, she was!

If you go to a murder mystery party this Halloween weekend, be on the lookout for Barbie Kew. She’s been through a lot this week.

And THAT's the Real Dealio!
