'Twas The Night Before Christmas Eve

Dreaming of a white Christmas or what Santa will bring?
I love Christmas Eve eve! Always have. I'm as filled with excitement as if it were actually Christmas Eve.

Today was a great day! I spent the afternoon here at home with my bff G; our annual Christmas get-together. (I hugged her before she even got in the front door, I couldn't wait!) Much talking & laughter along with cookies, tea, knitting, books, A Christmas Carol and lunch. It did my heart & soul a lot of good!

While doing some journaling earlier, I got to thinking about my word for 2011. A few years ago through an online book group, I started picking a word to represent overall what I hoped to get out of the coming year. I'd have to look at my journal from '08 to remember that year's word (I think it was bloom or blossom) but last year it was "Simplicity" ( and "Simplicity brings Clarity brings Harmony" is the mantra I created to go with it). I carried it over to this year as well. I am unsure if I will do so for again 2011 or if I will find a new word (and mantra) for the coming year. (More journaling to come).

What is your word, your intention for 2011?

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.

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?
