Mail haul

Today, my secretary decided she would just randomly show up and come to work. She handed me a couple of pieces of old mail she "happened to find lying around." Should I fire her? It's so hard to find good help these days.

The first letter is... a Halloween card! Halloween? Are we seriously that backed up on posting?

It's from Jerry and Ben, and there is also a Starbucks gift card for participating in the Halloween costume contest where I was my alter ego, Dr. FISHKENSTEIN... mwahahahahahahahaha... *ahem* I mean, thank you beary much, Jerry and Ben!

My secretary handed me another envelope. Let me guess, it's a holiday card and probably months behind also!

It's a Christmas card from Sandy! Thank you Sandy! Speaking of Christmas cards, I think my secretary forgot to mail those out also - really? I think I could find someone on Fiverr who would do a better job.

Thank you for the mail, everyone! My goal in 2026 is to find a new secretary!

Another mail haul

I'm back with another mail haul! It's so great getting fun mail instead of bills, isn't it?

The first card is a Halloween card from Sprinkles the Bear. Very cute and I hope Sprinkles had a fun Halloween!

The next is a photo card from Little Fox. One of the photos is Little Fox on a hiking trip as per usual, and the other is... a picture of him visiting Sandy. Or wait... is that Sandy visiting Little Fox? I can't keep track because I know there were some stuffie swaps over the past summer!

Next is a big Halloween card from Sandy!

There are a lot of fun stickers inside this card so I'll show you the inside also.

The next card is also from Sandy! It's a foam sticker postcard of an astronaut, yes that's perfect for me! I'm still waiting for my space shuttle after all these years...

Thanks for all the mail everyone!

Catching up!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, followed by a Merry Christmas, and finally a Happy New Year!

Let's catch up on a few things, shall we?

But first, check out this cool jersey I'm wearing. My friend Droopy got it for me after our hometown heroes, the Houston Astros, won the World Series in November! CHAMPS, YEAH!

I also have quite a bit of mail to catch up on. I got these cool Halloween cards from Jerry and Ben and a gift card from Starbucks as a prize for my entry in their annual Halloween contest. I also got a card from Sandy with a Halloween hamster on it. Beary cool!

Next, I got some holiday cards from Little Fox, Jerry and Ben, and Sandy. We sent out cards too, but we were cutting it close so they may have been a little delayed (again, looking for new secretary in 2023).

Thanks for all the mail, everyone! Snail mail is the best. :)

Halloween 2022

 Hi everyone, I'm a few days late with this post, but I wanted to share my entry to Jerry and Ben's 12th Annual Halloween Contest.

I could have been a superhero... an astronaut... a firefighter... but no... I was not any of those things. My mom thought it would funny if I were an... OOMPA LOOMPA from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I am cringing a bit right now, to be honest. This is kind of embarrassing... why would I ever agree to --

Oh, chocolate? Oh that's right.

Chocolate Wonka bars do come with this gig. Ok, maybe this is a pretty good gig after all.

Thanks to Jerry and Ben for hosting this contest! And congrats to all the winners!

I'll leave you with a song from the movie...

Halloween costume

Hey there! Do you want to see my Halloween costume for this year? Yes?

Okay, here it is...

I am a bottle of hand sanitizer!

Very fitting for this year!

And the dispenser hat fits me perfectly!

I can't wait to see all of your costumes in Jerry and Ben's 2020 Halloween Contest!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween card

 I got a Halloween card in the mail from my friend Droopy!

It has some foam candy corn stickers, and the stickers on the right with the pumpkin, car, and witch are made of cork. Pretty cool, huh?

Thanks for the card, Droopy!

Pumpkin decorating

Hey everyone, hope you're having a good day! I got a pumpkin to decorate a couple of days ago. It's the perfect size for me, don't you think?

Right now, I'm thinking of different ways to decorate my pumpkin.

Should I make it creepy and scary, or funny and silly?

Either way, this could get messy, so I'm going to put it underneath a sheet of newspaper to protect my work area.

And I have some paints and things here, so let me just try some things.

"Woof?"

Ah, yes, I think that's it! That will look beary nice indeed!

"Woof?"

Okay, all done! Are you ready? Do you want to see my decorated pumpkin?

Well, here it is! I give you...

...THE JACKSON POLLOCK PUMPKIN!

Isn't it beautiful?

 

"WOOF???"

I mean, just look at all the vibrant colors used here! Isn't it fantastic?

I love my decorated pumpkin, and I think I'll enter it in Jerry and Ben's Halloween Contest for the best decoration category.

Have you decorated for Halloween yet?

Happy Halloween!

Jerry and Ben hosted the annual Halloween Costume and Pumpkin Carving Contest of 2019! My costume for this year is...

a sushi platter!

I love sushi so much that I decided to dress up as sushi.

A sushi meal would not be complete without some soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

And how will you eat sushi? With chopsticks of course!

Yeah, that's some nice looking salmon and shrimp sashimi!

Thanks beary much for hosting this fun contest, Jerry and Ben! What did you dress up as for Halloween?

Halloween 2017

Hello everyone! This is a couple days late, but my friends Jerry and Ben were hosting their annual Halloween costume contest and I decided to enter. Last year, I was a nerd.

Here's my costume for this year from the back. Do you have any guesses?

No guesses? Okay, I will turn around then.

I am tech titan and visionary STEVE JOBS!

My inventions have changed - and continue to change - the world!

Keep on dreaming, and believing, and love what you do.

And remember...

STAY HUNGRY. STAY FOOLISH.
