Simple Sunday Pleasures


















In an attempt to keep myself from sliding further into a funk that started yesterday, (I've had it with being sick and tired, being stuck w/needles, iv's & tubes, having tests, taking meds and feeling like crap - Had It!) I'm taking a few moments to appreciate some of the simple pleasures I'm enjoying this Sunday (via another list):

-Watching CBS News Sunday Morning, something I've done and enjoyed for many years now on Sunday mornings when I'm home.

-Laying around with Hubbs, watching bad movies and laughing.

-Seeing the smallest Carolina Wren I've ever seen in my garden out back when I got up to get myself some lunch. What a sweet looking little bird!

-My pumpkin spice candle from last Autumn, such a yummy and comforting scent. (Walmart's Mainstays candle collection).

-Catching up on my magazines; Country Living, Country Living British Edition, Starting From Seed and Artful Blogging.

-Watching my new guilty pleasure show, The Fabulous Beakman Boys online. (Hopefully they'll put the full ghost episode on Planet Green's site soon since Hubbs flipped channels so much yesterday I missed the end of it! Gr!) *Update: This episode (The Haunting Of Beakman Farm) aired again this evening and I got to watch it, beginning to end. A dose of Autumn & Halloween is just what I needed to lift my Spirits!

-Giving myself a home pedi yesterday which I touched up today & having my metallic blue-green polish back - my signature happy toes color has been some kind of metallic blue for many years now. Seems to go well with my skin tone and when I'm tan. (Before yesterday they were a dark maroon color which was nice but not me).

-Fresh brewed (yesterday) decaf white & green Sun Tea. Fresh brewed iced tea is on my list of allowed fluids. I've reached my tolerance for water (after drinking 7 bottles of it a day since getting home from the hospital - roughly 49 bottles - thankfully we can get back to using filtered tap water once this is over, the bottled water was just easier given my circumstances) and can't stand the thought of drinking another drop of it!

-Having a salad made of greens from my own garden along with a yellow beefsteak tomato from a local market with Italian dressing & craisins. My first salad since last month!

What simple Sunday pleasures are you enjoying today?

after our 5.5 hour trip back from jekyll island on saturday, everything i did that didn't involve driving was peaceful on Sunday ;)

we ran some errands and once we were back home, we had salmon and arugala salad and watched the most boring indie flick eva! but it was bliss...

Thank you for sharing B! There's such comfort (and even beauty) in the mundane (like errands) after certain times.

Thanks Heather!

Thanks Tammy! Long time so 'see'! Thanks for stopping by!

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
