Diary of a Thirty-Something Approaching Another Birthday - Part 3

Brandie M, this is for you: I had 1 glass of red Sangria and 1 glass White Zinfindel, more than an hour a part last night and awoke at 6:25am this morning with a head pounding hangover. WTF?!

It's bad enough I've lost my tolerance (thankfully I waited until I was married to become a cheap date) but I now get hangovers off a couple of drinks?! I didn't get my first full blown hangover until I was 32 and I've had more then a few since and only a few of them, in my humble opinion, were deserved.

But my acne's acting up again so I've got that to keep me feeling youthful, lol!

I feel for you. My last hangover was so bad that it pretty much swore me off the drink (that and the swimming in my sister- and brother-in-laws pool with my clothes on!) I know all about breaking out lately too. It sucks. Bad.

P.S. -- Love the photo. I'm living on the coast vicariously through you, if you don't mind!

Thanks Lizzi! (Today I wasn't awake at 6:25am but a 2 drink hangover, it was the clod-hoppers upstairs - I'm in the market for a good loud air horn if you know of any!)

And I have no problem with your living vicariously through me! (Never thought anyone would, lol!) I used to tell my bff G that all the time when she lived in Manhattan and first moved to Chicago.

Ah, Jo. I SO feel your pain. Seriously, tho - wtf?!?! I had two beers Saturday night, and once again, felt like I couldn't get out of bed the next morning. So annoying!

And the acne thing, too. I'm having a horrible time with it. I'm really close to just pouring straight alcohol on my face because I can't take it anymore!!

Yeah, I haven't a clue. And so many women our age are having this acne problem and I don't recall my Aunt or Cousins having it - what the heck is going on?!

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...
