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?!!!)

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...

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...
