links are now "sites of interest!"

in adding (and deleting) some links today, i changed the name of my links section!

i've posted new links for:

~ a show called the manic organic with antony john aka my new inspiration! antony john is an ogranic produce farmer and supplier in canada. he combines organic gardening how-to segments on the ingriedients that will be used in that days recipes. he grows most of the ingriedients himself or gets them from other local organic dairy, cattle & mushroom, etc. farms. he's also quite a character and it's a very entertaining and informative show!

this link brings you to a description of the show and the show times on the discovery home channel. (if you miss him on monday nights @ 10p & 10:30p, he repeats on tuedays throughout the day on the same channel!) there's no actual site for him or his show, nor are the recipes listed anywhere online! (bummer!)

~ the organic cook's bible! i took this out of the local library after doing a search on trying to find out exactly what organic food is. i had such an urge to mark the book up as i read that i returned it and ordered it from barnes and noble.com! it starts with the basics and works its' way through the industry and then specifically into types of foods! love this book! scroll down for the description when you click on the link!

~ mother earth news magazine! not in the least hippie! (not that i have anything against hippie-ism!) i found a copy this past friday at the whole foods store and read it mostly cover to cover! (not something i do with some of the mags i get in the mail!)

~ organic gardening.com! i'm not jumping on any bandwagons here but i have been greatly interested in organics as of late due to curiosity and the fact that my chronic headaches have returned, which has lead me to try & cut out even more of my sodium intake than i have been for the past 14 years! it's nearly impossible i can tell you and i'm disgusted and now looking into more natural foods!

~ an explantion of what "USDA ORGANIC" means per government laws.

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 ...
