March is Women's History Month

Did you know? I didn't until I saw author Darnell Arnoult's blog post on March 12th, and this year's theme is "Writing Women Back Into History (over at the National Women's History Project, link below).

I haven't heard this on the news or read it in the newspapers. Have you? As soon as I saw it on Goodreads, I posted it to my Twitter and fb accounts as well as in the groups I belong to on Goodreads. Please spread the word!

For more info, please visit Women's History Month and National Women's History Project.

I posted an article on my blog today, too, about National Women's History Month. It's disgusting and frustrating how women get swept under the rug. I suppose perhaps we need to get louder.

Louder indeed! That's why, as soon as I heard about it, I began posting it all over the place to help spread the word! And no on here too, hoping it spreads even farther. Looking forward to reading your post Kelly Jo!

Thank you for stopping by CurtissAnn and you're welcome for the tip! Unless it's a very slow mournful ballad (which make me cry!), I can't help but smile and tap away to songs like these! I hope you're having a lovely St. Pat's today!

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

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
