Photo's, NaNoWriMo Update and 30 Days of Thanksgiving Day 23

I've been slowly cleaning, shifting, purging and re-arranging things around in our home, beginning with the bookshelves in the living room, and you know how the domino affect goes! Here's my progress so far. (I'm not sure how the picture of us from this St. Patty's Day got into the album...) Click on any of the photo's to go to the online album so you can enlarge it.

I've un-officially finished NaNoWriMo 2009 today with 50,295 words! (Isn't official until 11/25 - 11/30). I don't think I'll ever do this again! (I'm not saying "Never" but...) I've accomplished my goal of finishing 3 years in a row and I am Very happy & pleased with myself for that. I swear my writer's brain is complete mush right now. Not to mention how badly my hands & arms hurt because typing so much has flared my arthritis something horrible. But I am SO Glad I finished this before Sis.in.law arrives this coming Saturday. I've literally been having anxiety attacks over trying to get to 50,000 words before she gets here!

Today I am thankful for my migraine meds working Very fast and for finishing NaNoWriMo 2009.

Thanks Cindy! And you're welcome! The more I've been doing around the house, the happier I'm becoming with it as of late.

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!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) UPDATED! This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

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
