This pic is what happens when you're up before sun rise!

I barely slept last night. I started coming down with a cold yesterday and was full blown as of last night. I fell asleep around 9pm, was up at 10:15p. Fell asleep again and was up 2 hours later and didn't fall alseep again until about 2am. I was up every hour after that and finally gave up trying to sleep and sat at the table while Hubby had his breakfast & got ready for work. He made me a cup of tea and once he went to work I made some Quaker instant Grits since I need something in my tummy but nothing too much.

BUT, the good news I realized last night? This may be my first cold/bronchitis since 2007! I know I had sinus infections, strep/tonsilitis and a gall bladder attack in 2008 but I don't recall a cold or bronchitis which must mean the iv treatments are working for the most part! I used to get colds and/or bronchitis 4 times a year or more.

Thanks G! I'm on the way to getting better but DAMN! Winter has you crying UNCLE and this cold/bronchitis has me crying UNCLE! I took Nyquil (out of sheer desperation and misery) and it did not knock me out in the least! Cursed air plane cooties! For once my sinuses didn't bother me in the least on either (nearly 7 hour) flight but I got horrendously sick within 24 hours of getting home (which hasn't happened before).

Now what is a nice Jersey girl like you going eating GRITS? I thought those were for Southern Belles? I'm sorry you are so sick!

I'm feeling ever so slightly better but I'm still on my arse from this. It's pretty bad.

Teri, I am an eclectic, non stereo-typical Jersey Girl who not only likes grits, but can & doesn't mind pumping her own gas, lol!!! (I think in another life, or on another plane (not airplane), I was/am southern! So many things southern resonate for me.)

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...

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...
