12 Minutes After Midnight...

12 minutes into my 33rd bday and not only am I on the verge of tears, but stuffing my face with 1 of those 100 calorie snack pks of Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn. An indication of how this 33rd yr is going to go?! Oh, I have been reading in bed since about 10p this evening, once Hubby was asleep. Trying to finish Debbie Macombers new one called Twenty Wishes by tomorrow cause its due at the library today. Not sure I can finish. Watched Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade this afternoon. Going to see the new Indy movie down town tomorrow and looking forward to it. Sex And The City will be down town next Friday. Getting tired, so I guess I should try to sleep and start my 33rd year off on the right foot! (Actually, I was born after 10p on May 21st, so I technically have about 22 more hours before officially turning 33!)

Hey Jo,

Happy birthday! Make it a good day!

I read one of your older posts on Southern literature. I love Fannie Flagg! She's the author I would most like to imitate in my own writing. She makes me feel so "included." One of my career goals is to become a "Neighbor Dorothy" in my own town. Have you read Standing in the Rainbow? It's delightful! It's a little more midwestern than Fried Green Tomatoes.

More on the manly side, I love reading James Lee Burke's series featuring Dave Robicheaux. His books are set in Louisiana. I can smell the bougainvillea in bloom and feel the humidity in the air. I love his writing!

Glad you stopped by my blog to see my garden.

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...

(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...
