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!

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...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
