uppdates to my 'what i'm reading' section & it's beginning to look a lot like christmas!!!

i'm taking the following book off my "what i'm reading" list:
"Garden of Faith" by Lynn Hinton (1 of the most depressing books i've read to date! hope it has a happy ending at least! UPDATE: finished 11/30 - not exactly a happy ending, a realistic ending w/hope & things going in a positive direction - very heavy topics like suicide, cancer, death, fear, trust, faith - not @ all what i thought it was going to be based on description!)

check my "what i'm reading" section to see the books i've added!

we picked up our christmas tree at home depot yesterday! why is it exactly that these trees seem to be a perfectly reasonable size at the store but seems to be just HUGE in our living room! it's such a fat & wide tree! i know they tend to "relax" once inside, but sheesh! it does smell so fesh & wonderful! today i'll put the lights on it and hopefully find the ornaments! (which are definately not in the basement so i may need nancy drew to help me with this one!)

i also got another set of multi colored icicle lights for the patio out back ~ hopefully the squirrels won't chew the wires on this set! 3 sections of the set that's out there are off because of those pesky little buggers!

lots to do today! all over house cleaning since the writing group girls are coming over tomorrow and holiday company is coming on friday! i've also got laundry to do for hubby.

i feel bad ~ i haven't gotten a single gift for hubby yet! everyone else is pretty much done except for a few odds & ends! he's more difficult to shop for than my mom! (and that's really saying something, let me tell ya!) sigh! i've got a few idea's which i'll have to get to online this saturday once he gets paid.

i guess that's about it for now!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
