Gothic Spooky Coffee Decor

Inappropriate Thoughts

Decorating for Halloween or Christmas makes me really happy. It finally feels fall here.  I like the challenge of using what I have.  Last year I invested in rechargeable tealights that have a timer. I love the look of the tealights flickering. I love using them all year around.

Deep Thoughts

Have you ever heard of October Theory? Basically, it is a second chance to reset your New Year intentions in October. I did this last year. I had a wakeup call last year at this time that I needed to take better care of myself.  I had a significant amount of weight I needed to lose because my heart didn't like it and my blood pressure was elevated. I started Zepbound and I lost around 45 pounds. I ended up visiting the cardiologist and getting a CPAP machine.  What is October Theory and How You Can Make It Work For You? My October Theory this year is to make sure all my health maintenance appointments are completed so far, I have completed my mammogram and pap smear. I got an eye appointment and ordered new glasses. By December I will have also had my dentist appointment. These were things I was neglecting doing,

World Postcard Day

This is a big day in the postcrossing world. The fact I just said that is a bit cringe, but I have to participate. Yes, I bought special postcards.  Hey, I am extra. These are from Lou Paper on Etsy.

I was able to mail out 4 for postcrossing - Portland, Or, Germany (2), Spain and I also mailed one to a friend. 

We also found a hybrid geocache letterbox to get the World Postcard Day badge.

Inappropriate Thoughts

It has been a week.  We had lots of rain for New Mexico.  We discovered a leak in our ceiling. Some swears were said. The situation developed as it continued to rain over several days

Deep Thoughts

We celebrated 31 years this week.  It has been quite the ride this week, but we made time to go out for dinner. 

Lady Gardenton Rose Killer

Dearest Gentle Reader

The ton might have noticed that Lady Gardenton has killed her 4th rose. I believe it is time for the ladies of the Ton to stage an intervention.  That is not the same rose bush she started the season with. Don't believe her flowery pose. Lady Gardenton cannot explain ignore her protests. This lady needs to know the limits of her green thumb. Someone please remind her next season to not gamble on roses.

Well 4th time was not a charm.  I killed a 4th rose. I decided to embrace my alter ego, Lady Gardenton.  It calls for a fancy dress, high heels, matching garden gloves, DEAD rose, and bubbles.
