30 Days of Creativity in September (Day 14) & The Countdown Begins

I have yet to post most of my items for my
30 Days of Creativity in September,
but I'm working on it!
(Click on the
"30 Days of Creativity September 2009"
label at the end of this post for Day 11).

Here is yesterday's above,
my new blog header.
(Don't be fooled, this actually took a while to make and after 5 different versions, this is the one I decided I liked best).

The Countdown Begins?
you may be asking yourself (or not).
No, I'm not already counting down to Halloween.
Well, actually I am,
with the widget in the right column,
but that's not it!

This post you are reading right now is # 990.
That's right, post #
nine hundred and ninety!
I'm only 10 posts away from post # 1,000!

I think that's incredible
and
calls for celebration!
(Once I get there of course).

Thanks Sherry! This challenge helps to keep me going in one way or another creatively. (Even writing). Always good to know another "Halloweenie" as my Hubby calls me! lol And I do believe there's a little witch in all. Fall decorations going up this week, Halloween on 10/1 ~ any sooner and I'd probably be in divorce court, LOL!

Thanks M.J.! I'm thinking of planning something just not sure what as of yet.

Lisa, I've had this blog since 2006. I had 2 other unsuccessful attempts in 2005 and there's another blog I started a couple of years ago floating around which I've forgotten about & done nothing with in Forever! This blog has stuck! You'll get there before you know it! You're doing great!

Thanks Tammy!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
