lazy grey days

last saturday, while hubby was working and it was cold & grey out, i spent the day putzing about the house and watching the 1st season of roseanne (on dvd). i love watching the first few seasons of roseanne. i love how everything looks, how everyone dresses and how their hair is done. i love how roseanne, jackie and crystal would go out to the lobo (bar) for drinks & pizza. (yes, i know it's a fictional show!) i've never had that & still don't.

and watching this last saturday, i thought of how weekends used to be weekends! after school & after work were just that! friday nights were looked forward to w/excitement! all before the age of all stores being open 7 days a week & open late every night ~ before the age of revolving shifts for industries other than factories...

today it's been finishing the book "round robin" (an elm creek quilts series book from jennifer chiaverini) and watching sex and the city, the end of season 2 and now onto the beginning of season 3. i had wanted to watch season 6, part 2, the last 8 episodes, but, i can't find the dvd's and i'm quite alarmed! anyway!

i cannot explain how much i love this show or how much i've connected to it! it makes me laugh & cry ~ it inspires me! i live vicariously through it as i have always dreamed of living in & working in the city! the show was with me through some very rough times. (total cornball i know!)

I'd forgotten all about Roseanne that was such a funny show.

i was so jazzed when they started releasing it on dvd! i might get season 3 & 4 but after that she changed so much ~ yeah, the show was still funny, but, roseanne stopped smiling, stopped laughing (unless it was a sarcastic laugh) and she seemed so bitter & nasty! it loses the magic it had in the first few seasons!

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...

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...
