25 Things You May Not Know About Me!

This has been floating around facebook and I was "tagged" there post mine (which I did today) but thought I'd post it here too, just fyi. Feel free to do the same on your own blog!

1> I love mugs and have more than any 1 (or 2 or 3) human beings can possibly use!
2> Our "back yard" is tiny (23'x15'?) but it's the only one I've ever had and I love it!
3> I'm Mother to an Angel in Heaven who would've turned 10 this year.
4> I'm terrified to try again. (See #3)
5> I love being a married woman!
6> I love watching all the birds who come to eat the seed I throw out, especially the Cardinals & Downy WoodPecker, and a new arrival makes my day!
7> I'd love to own & live on a farm.
8> I hate clutter but I love stuff!
9> Corn Pops & AZ Iced Tea are like crack for me!
10> I love taking pictures & tend to take too many, don't upload enough or print them out.
11> I love weekly planners - the kind that lay flat & have mon-wed on the left hand page and thrus-sun on the right. This year's planner is SATC pink! (See #12)
12> My favorite colors are pinks, natural greens, barn red and orange.
13> My favorite place to go is my sister-in-law's cabin up in The Endless Mountains Region of NorthEastern PA. I'd stay there forever if I could. I cry every time it's time to leave & come back here!
14> I love Law & Order re-reuns no matter how many times I've seen them!
15> My kind of reality tv is Myth Busters, Dirty Jobs, House Hunters, House Hunters International, Ghost Hunters...
16> I LOVE the show Nip/Tuck .
17> Gardening is my passion. It gives me connection, pure joy and calms my soul.
18> Writing is my agony but it's what I've always come back to.
19> I feel Religion/Spirituality is very personal and one doesn't have to got to a specific building in order to connect with God.
20> I love Post-it's in all shapes, colors & sizes.
21> Had I not chickened out on my "work in Manhattan" dream only months before, I would've died on the 78th floor of World Trade Center Tower 2 on September 11th, 2001 doing a job I hated.
22> My Mother named me after my father (Joe) and herself (Anne) - Joanne - and HATES when people call me Jo! (I have no problem with it whatsoever obviously!) Guess she should've thought that one through a bit more!
23> My father passed away 31 years ago this month.
24> My father was supposed to give me a middle name before we left the hospital for the brith cert, hence no middle name! (Thanks Dad!)
25> I picked Katherine for my Confirmation name because I thought it was my Nana's middle name - she never told me otherwise - after she passed away, Mom & I found Nana's birth cert and Nana's middle name was Kate! (What's wrong with my family?!!!)

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. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

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?
