FREAKING out!

first of all, hubby's got edema (extreme swelling) in both ankles and while his doctors don't think it's cardiac related, he's still got to have chest (and feet/ankle & hand/wrist) xrays, a neuclear stress test and an echo cardiogram to be sure.

sat 5/5 is his last day with agent orange (aka the company from HELL) and the benefits rep just told him today that our health coverage will end SUNDAY! and he won't get the cobra paperwork until he's officially out of agent oranges computer system which takes 2 to 3 weeks!

excuse me?! there is such a thing as "the right to continuation of coverage for 30 days after voluntarily or in voluntarily leaving employment." NOT ACCORDING TO AGENT ORANGE!

so, i've set him up for ALL his xrays and tests for this week and he's calling united healthcare directly as soon as he gets home.

not to mention that i'm trying to get together a surprise party for him when he gets home on saturday to celebrate his new job and it's turning into a much bigger shin-dig than i had anticipated! so far nearly everyone i've told about it is coming and i'm up to about 50 people! yeesh!

and it's my mother's birthday on friday!!!

i've been so worried about hubby (who refuses to rest damn it!) that i've been breaking out in hives and now thanks to my brilliant idea of having this party, i am completely STRESSED OUT!

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...

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...
