This & that...

How crazy was that???  

We had some insane wind on Friday, too. I have a corner office with windows on 2 sides and I really thought the one side was going to be blown in!  

(It's not that special - it's ground floor!)

I got my giant tote!!  I killed some time after work taking Christmas blowmolds to the shed, waiting for the Grandson's bus to drop him off...just so I could throw him in it! 

The problem is....  the horse skeleton I got from Tractor Supply last year filled up about 75% of said tote, so I couldn't fit the other horse and pony in with it.

So I got a 2nd one! 

Don't ask me about the rest of the skeletons, tho. 

Random. 

The USPBL mascots are really cute. 

This is the United Shore Professional Baseball League field that's nearby. 

It was dark so you can't see the physical sign, just the screen.

I had a slow day at work one day and was watching some videos on YooTube.  One of the people I follow who usually post Halloween videos had one of their Christmas stuff and they had some blowmolds in their yard.  I've been wanting another Mrs. Claus, so I went on eBay just for fun to see how much they're costing nowadays.

The very first listing was the exact Mrs. C I wanted, at an unusually low price with very reasonable shipping.  So I said NEENER NEENER to the 14 people watching her and I bought her! 

Too bad she went directly into the shed with all the rest, but I'll have her for next year!

OK, call me weird.  

I was watching a video, I don't even remember what it was about now, but this popped up. 

I love it.  

That's something that I would totally put on my future headstone. 

I have occasionally wondered about how my headstone would read. 

I am a veteran.  I enlisted with my maiden name, however my discharge papers have me with my ex's last name.  I remarried and that's the name I fully plan to die with, but not any time soon - I hope!!

I think this is something I need to check with the VA about.  Because I do want at least a veteran plaque! 

Excuse my morbid minute.  

More random - 

this person who signs for freight at a place we deliver to at work spells out how to pronounce his name!

And you thought I was weird!

SkyWatch Friday 1/8/26

Happy New Year!

Welcome to my first SkyWatch post of 2026. 

I took both of these photos on Christmas Eve.  

The sunrise above is from the front door at work.

(Ignore the coworkers' cars!)

 (at approximately 11:30pm)

According to the Norad website, Santa had been seen in the area so we had to look!

HaPpY NeW YeAr!!!

Aw, who am I kidding?  This is too nicey-nice (it's pretty, tho!) to be from me...

This is more like it! 

The day after Christmas, the Spouse & I went to get pedicures.  We normally go in July for our anniversary, but this (whoops, last) year we thought it would be nice to have a winter appointment, too! 

I made the mistake of asking the granddaughter what color polish I should get. 

I'm currently rocking some neon green toes.

On Christmas day, we met up with the family at Zehnder's Restaurant for their chicken dinner.  There's a mall type place with a bakery in the basement, so we went down there looking for fruitcake for my mother-in-law.  Unfortunately they were sold out, but I happened to find a clearance section that I'd never seen before.  We don't usually go to this place in fall, so I didn't know they carried Halloween stuff, too! 

 I found this super cute ghost and ended up getting him for 70% off because his back end was missing!  He sticks to the window using suction cups.  

I'm ok with him not having a back end, since he's destined for the living room next October.  I usually hang creepy cloth on the windows, so he's going to look like he's coming out of the house into my cemetery. 

Another tradition we have, is after dinner at Zehnder's, we go drive around the parking lot at Bronner's.  It's a huge Christmas store and the parking lot is decorated year-round. 

Yes, my skeleton Chuck goes along with us.  That's him falling off the back of the truck!

Random - I had fingers AND toes peeking at me under the bathroom door! 

The Spawn got Elves on the Shelf for the grandkids. 

I came home one day to see butts in the window! 

I also got myself a gift (such as it is) that is waiting for me when I get home today.....

I ordered one of those huge storage totes from Home Depot to hopefully finally get my horse skeletons put away off the patio!  

I just learned about ChatGPT and had some fun with it...
