Odds and Ends

Greetings, friends! Another weekend come and gone way too quickly. However, my hubby and I made the best of it. Yesterday, we decided to have an early dinner at our local "Cracker Barrel" in order to use a gift card that he was given from his employer. I love their gift shop and as always I find lots of good stuff while there ...

Christmas Tree salt and pepper shaker set.
A Strawberry Soda Pop scented candle.

A set of Winnie the Pooh kitchen towels.

Some candy ...

.
And I had tried something a bit different, I ordered the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast with eggs and bacon from their breakfast anytime menu ...  
.
Speaking of dinner, we also had the lasagna meal special at The Sinking Spring VFW on Saturday night. The chef was not there, but since he prepares his meal specials in advance, we were still able to order the DELICIOUS lasagna! ....

And, in honor of my mother who had battled breast cancer a few years ago, I decided to wear my pink cap with my Breast Cancer Awareness scrub as well. 
I do not have any real tattoos on my body, but once in a while I love to wear the ones that can be taken off with rubbing alcohol ...

This and That

Greetings all. Now that Halloween and Samhain are over for this year, I thought that I would post a few pics from this past week. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a nurse so I dressed up for work on Thursday in a Halloween scrub and orange cap - after all, Halloween is the one day of the year when we can pretend to be who or what we want to be at any age and it is okay ... 🎃


Meanwhile, Charlie is busy living his best life. He is beginning to wonder around the house farther and the other night I saw him playing with his ball ...

Who's Harley Quinn?? ...

And, just a little throwback from a couple of years ago - I dressed up for Halloween as Harley Quinn. ...

A snap shot with my sister Aurora Skye at "Flanagan's Pub" on Halloween weekend. I actually wore a white lab coat over top of the dress with an ID tag saying, "Dr. Harleen Quinzel" and the official Harley Quinn nurses cap (not shown here) as part of my costume ...

The Unknown Roommate: My True Ghost Story

Before I moved into my home back in the year 1999, I lived on the third floor of an old house in Shillington, PA for seven years. I really loved this old apartment. The landlord at the time inherited it from his uncle and decided to section off the three floors and make it into three apartments. The third floor was once the attic and therefore fairly small, but plenty roomy enough for me and my cats. It had a cute little kitchen with a small full refrigerator, kitchen sink with cabinets, a stove with oven, and wall shelves as well. The living room was also small as was the bathroom which did not have a bathtub but a shower stall; however, both the kitchen and the bathroom did have a lot of closet space which was great! The bedroom was pretty large with a small closet for clothing, etc. The basement was set up with three separate storage spaces (no washer or dryer) for all three apartments.

My apartment building, 3rd floor on 31 S. Wyomissing Avenue.

A couple of months after I moved in, I noticed that my telephone would ring around 11 o'clock in the evening, but when I picked it up there was no one there on the other end. This would happen a couple times a week or so. Okay, maybe just something whacky with my telephone line? Since it did not happen ALL the time, I just shrugged it off at first.


Then, for no reason that I could understand, my bed would shake while I was trying to sleep. This happened EVERY night! I was so scared all I could manage to do is freeze up and not move a muscle until it passed! 

I finally decided to ask my neighbors who lived on the first and second floors if they ever experienced anything like what I had. After all, they also lived in the same house/building that I did. Neither of them had - apparently, I was the lucky one. However, the neighbor on the first floor who happened to know our landlord's family for a long time had disclosed to me that someone had hung themselves in the attic many years ago! 

Other than feeling terrified for a little while, I eventually got used to "whoever' or "whatever" was making their presence know to me. Never once had I felt in any serious danger in spite of how unnerving it could be at times. 

I miss that old apartment so much and I have never regretted living there - not once!

A Charlie update (and other stuff)


Blessed Sunday! Just a couple of things to post for today. First off, an update on Charlie. As previously mentioned, he had his follow up appointment this past Thursday at our vet, He was given his second booster shots and they cleaned is ears out as his right ear was itching him a little bit. Other than that, he is slowly but surely making his way out on his own from his "safe space" in his holding cage. We are so proud of him and his siblings as they are beginning to accept him and take him into our home ...

Butterscotch also wanted in on the action!

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

In other news, HAPPY NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY!!

And, last but not least, I finally found a match at the ULTA Beauty store yesterday for my new Chanel colored mascaras. It is L.A. Girls' 4-Play Quad Eye Shadow called, "Juicy" which is a combination of orange and golden colors ...


I combined the last two colors to wear with the Chanel "Amethyste" color mascara ...


And for the Chanel "Orange Bruni" color, I tried using the first two orange colored eye shadows on the pallet ...

Swatches ...
The lighter orange (top pic) and the darker, brighter orange (bottom pic).

Weekend Happenings


Greetings, friends! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I am spending my weekend relaxing with my cat puzzles I picked up at Ollie's Bargain Outlet last weekend. I am not too good at crosswords puzzles, but I really enjoy the picture puzzles and word searches ...


Yesterday, I was able to get to Green Dragon again. I bought some more delicious flavored yogurt pretzels and some more pumpkin spice whoopie pies ...

And, these little items ...
Wax battery operated candles for Yule/Winter.

A pair of cheap earrings.

Two pairs of Eeyore earrings.

This afternoon, I spent the day out and about shopping with my sister Aurora Skye. I saw an interesting book at Barnes & Noble ...

A couple of new kitty pics ...
Teddy, Charlie, and Sir Leo ...
