Snapshot: October 2008
Borrowed from Dawn:
Snapshot of Thirteen Things during the month of October
1) photo of me: That’s me in the green
2) current candle scents: Still burning Partylite’s teakwood & cardamom predominently and I added Yankee Candle’s Home Sweet Home to the mix! I got a couple new BPAL scents, Midnight Mass (traditional Roman Catholic sacramental incense) and On Darkness (black poppy, lavender, thick black incense, black amber, rose geranium, Brazilian rosewood, and benzoin); particularly liking the former!
3) what i am currently reading: Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino.
4) newest music i added to my playlist: Still none, but I’ve been addicted to listening to a few songs on my iPod, especially Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy (the video sucks, but the song is great!) and anything by the Beatles or BNL.
5) movies i saw: Nothing in the theater, POTC on tv. So sad, TDK is now gone from the theaters boohoo!
6) something yummy i made this month: Roasted butternut squash…so good!
7) the last place i ate out: Michael’s Harborside, up in Newburyport, MA. I had halibut with sweet potato gnocchi (too greasy) and asparagus (too oily); but the fish was good!
8.) something that made me cry: No cryin’ this month!
9) something that made me laugh: This video ahahahah!!! This one is totally worth watching.
10) something i looked forward to this month: Halloween…but it ended up being rather quiet.
11) something i am thankful for: That I got to see my old friend, Cal, again!
12) something i want to remember about this month: That I’m allergic to the patches they put on you after minor surgery so as not to get the incision wet. Now it’s on my hands, OUCH!!!
13) a photo i took this month: I took 152 this month, but you’re getting six. Ok? Ok!

At first I thought she said Bond man as in “bondage” and I thought it was going in a whole different way! Funny!
Minor surgery? You look good in green.

Gorgeous photos!

What beautiful photos! I can endure cold winter if the place is that beautiful!

Your photos are stunning….you have a great eye! I’m sorry to hear about your allergy- hope the rash clears up soon. If it’s on the hands, it’s hard to leave it alone!
Thanks for the T13! Mine’s up too

great list- I might have to start doing that each month- it seems like a good way to recap.
I used to love going to Michael’s Harborside

I love your photos! The only crying I did this month was when I heard Obama’s acceptance speech. There is something so moving about him…
November 6th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Love the list, and I always like when you have pictures of you, even if it’s only ever just a glimpse.
November 6th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I love Thin Lizzy… I can never get tired of their version of Whisky in the Jar.
This is for you if you choose to accept it.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Love the photos. Love the list. And no cryin’ for the whole entire month? Impressive!

ooh roasted butternut squash – that sounds too yummy!
Who’s the hunky guy in the top right??
November 6th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
the butternut squash sounds good…..
I really want to make a soup with one soon.
I feel like a broken record when I say this. but your shots are nothing short of awesome!

We love roasted butternut squash. It’s actually something my boy will eat!
I love your blog as always

sweet potato gnocchi…that sounds intriguing…and the video i’d caught before but it’s a rip, so thanks for sharing!…

I’m glad I’m not the only one photographing the colors this Fall. I still have yet to find a good place to use the colors as a backdrop for people, I love the ones you did.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Ha! You’re not fooling me, Janet. That green thing is a picnic table, not you. Nice try tho.
November 7th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Beautiful pics this month. love the sneaky pic of you in the green
November 7th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
C’mon– you should have used one of those great Halloween pictures instead!
You still have the rash and now it’s on your hands? Oh no.
I think the shot of the berries is my favorite. Those colors totally go with my family room walls!

Wow Janet, who’s the cute guy in the upper left corner? Send him over California way! (Did I just say that out loud?) Ha.
November 9th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
oops upper right corner, I meant!
