that time of the month again! no, you didn't need to know that. i'm just frustrated. i didn't get it at all in december and now i've gotten it twice in january! and just when i'm getting over that borderline pneumonia thing i don't need to be this worn out from a re-appearance of my monthly visitor! i could end up sick all over again!

the heating system here hasn't worked right in nearly a week. it's freakin' 62 degrees in here this morning and it supposed to be 68. you don't think 6 degrees makes much difference do you?! maybe not on paper (or in print rather) but it's damn chilly in the rest of the apt.! i've got to dig the heater out of the pantry again for the kitchen. with those 2 huge patio doors, it's like an ice box in there.

last night it was 70 degrees and very comfortable throughout the apt. ~ thank goodness as our coldest temp's in 2 years were setting in last night and will stick around through tomorrow morning! (single digits & teens). we had the heating/boiler repair here this past monday and all he did was "reset the computer." the gas heating bill for the complex last month was double any other december, ever, (and we only had a day & a half of freezing temps in dec! most of the time it was in the 50's to the 70's!) and now that the cold weather's actually set it, the heating system's not getting the apt.'s up to what they have to be by law, "68 degrees from 6am through 11pm and 65 degrees at all other times." there's definately more wrong than "resetting the computer" is apparently going to fix! i/we didn't have this problem last winter once the temp's dropped and i'm getting pissy about it being a problem!

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...

(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...
