Yes, I'm happy it snowed! I took lots of pics today (keep scrolling down), ordered some free gardening seed catalogs online, got the rest of the Christmas decorations taken down and all are packed away. I even took down the tired but well loved light up reindeer out front and put them out to pasture. (That made me a little sad - I didn't want to get rid of them, they're my first ones, but they're old (I bought them at the thrift shop 2 yrs ago (?) for $5 each and they were old then) & mostly don't light up anymore, so... I'm actually fighting the urge to get dressed & run out to rescue them from the garbage as I type this. I know, I'm weird!) I also took the light up candy canes down to the basement with some of the indoor decorations.

And yes, great googley moogley it's bleepin' COLD!

I love this pic.

I've been trying to take pictures of the snow here, but I'm over it-LOL.

I had a memory recently of when one of my college roommates and I took a break from studying for finals to go play in the snow - at midnight. We were really silly. That might have been the last time I liked snow.

Ah, seed catalogs. I LOVE seed catalogs. They are such a sign that spring will come, winter will end, and there will be a time when the darkness will lift! I even love the design of them!

I love seed catalogs too Teri! Just the sight of them cheers me up, their covers so colorful.

G, I'm not sure why I still take snow pics actually, but I can't seem to help myself.

G, that's a wonderful memory!

One of my fav memories of snow was before I met Vic, my girlfriend Kathy had been hanging out at my apartment in Matawan until about 4am - we'd been wathing movies, eating take out from Chilli's and having a blast, the only light in the living room besides the tv was my little Christmas tree lit with multi colored lights - she left about 4am & my living room window was cracked open. I looked out and saw that it was snowing, everything glistened! Then I hear her voice in a very loud whisper call to me, "Joanne! It's snowing!" I returned in the same not so quiet whisper, "I know!" and then ran downstairs to the porch where she was. It was gorgeous! And so quiet. When she left, I got dressed and walked with the ex to 7-11 to get hot cocoa, during which, on the way I slipped on ice, fell and hit my head!

Lol!

But, it's still one of my fav snow memories!

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...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
