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!

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...
