Happy New Year's Eve!

Awoke to a Winter Wonderland this morning courtesy of Mother Nature which makes me very happy being the Snow Lover that I am! Not too disappointed in not getting the chance now to head up to "home away from home" especially since Hubby awoke today with a sinus infection (and he's had to do snow removal here at the complex).

While the Twilight Zone Marathon on the SciFi Channel has been on, I've been doing a little cleaning around the house and reading book #30 of 2009 ("Gift From The Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh) which I hope to finish before midnight. An incredible book and a wonderful one to be reading as one year ends and another begins. (I highly recommend it to all of the women who read my blog, regardless of age!)

Now to finish straitening up so I can get back to reading before we begin making dinner.

I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy evening
no matter your plans!

PS, I'm adding the following to my overall goals for 2010: Continue saving money (i.e. using the library as much as possible, taking my 'savings' from coupons & depositing the saved amount into the jar on the dresser, cutting back & using coupons when ever possible), make moving a priority (if not to PA, at least up to where our second home is), to help Hubby be able to do more of what he enjoys.

Happy New Year. I am looking forward to January and all those wonderful catalogues to buy seeds.

Gardening time is right around the corner.

Brenda, I'd love to live in Philly if I was single but Vic & I want to move to the country (or closer to it!). Want to be less crowded & hear less noise! My seed catalogs are piling up! I think I've rec'd 5 already and have been waiting until today to begin drooling over them! Gardening season will be upon us again very soon - it all comes & goes too quickly!

I'd love to compare notes on saving & Cindy! Definitely! Thank you again for your friendship too!

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 ...
