Thursday Thirteen Number 32. Dear Abby Is Back!

December 12, 2007

Dear Abby, I’ve been promising my readers that I would have a contest on my blog, but I have so little time! I’ve been crocheting for a cause, and having to work, too! On top of that, there are the holidays upon us AND my husband and I are planning a last minute getaway leaving [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 31–Just A Jumble

December 5, 2007

It’s Thursday, and that means THIRTEEN. Thursday Thirteen! This is the day of the week when a group of bloggers post thirteen things about themselves or their interests, and then flit back and forth finding out about each other. I’ve been missing getting to play, because I’ve been all caught up in Share A Square—-and [...]

Thursday Thirteen #30 Thankful

November 22, 2007

Several of you have written to ask if I’m still on the planet. I am. I’ve been a bit under the weather. That two week business trip, Share A Square (see the Share A Square FAQ if you don’t know what that is), and a nasty head cold have knocked me flat on my rear. [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 29 Make A Difference

October 3, 2007

I didn’t start out to be a “Charity Blogger,” although my friends Sandee and Jessica The Rock Chick both have dubbed me that. I’m honored that they think so, but I wanted to be sassy and silly and just write about whatever the voices in my head were saying! Then the voices in my head [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 28. I Do NOT Feel Guilty

September 26, 2007

Y’all, it’s been said that “Guilt” is my middle name. I do carry a lot of guilt around on my shoulders. I feel awful when I don’t go read my friend’s blogs. If I don’t get a thank you note or a comment answered on time, it makes me feel wretched. Just to cheer myself [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 27. YOU be Dear Abby

September 12, 2007

Y’all, the calendar in my head is out of whack (does that astonish you?) and so I’m posting early. I’m going to be busy for a couple of days with a certain project. I’m using my Thursday Thirteen] to promote a writing contest going on at “my house” for bloggers and non-bloggers as well. It’s [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 26. Scattered

September 6, 2007

I can’t concentrate, so this Thursday Thirteen will be all over the map. Usually, I take great pains to put together something silly, but today I’m just going with the flow, because I’m 1. Get cool letters with Spell With Flickr. They were much too large for this page, so I copied them into Adobe [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 25. I Just Have to Share

August 30, 2007

Y’all, there are days that I worry about the “monster” I have created. I had spent six months building a readership for this blog. I made many blogging friends and enjoyed visiting them every day. They came faithfully to read the stories that I wrote. I was having a lot of fun with it. Then, [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 24. If My Life Was On Videotape

August 23, 2007

When my oldest son was a toddler, I took him to a playground in the local park. There was a “merry-go-round” there; but not the kind with horses on it. It was a large flat circular disc with handles spaced around the edges. Children grabbed the handles and ran in a circle in the sand [...]

Thursday Thirteen #23—-If I Could Only Find My Glasses

August 16, 2007

I’ve been drinking my coffee trying to muster the oomph to write a Thursday Thirteen, my friends. I love participating in this meme, because you can meet some wonderful bloggers. I’m having a little difficulty writing today. I’m writing this with my husband’s glasses perched on my nose. His eyesight is better than mine, so [...]

Thursday Thirteen #22—A Raffle!

August 8, 2007

[If you are not a blogger, this post will not make sense to you. You might prefer to read in my archives. Try this ghost story category or some of my silliness.] Have y’all ever had “success” dangling in front of your eyes like a carrot in front of a work horse? You can almost [...]

Thursday Thirteen #21—The Name Game

August 2, 2007

“What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet…” Does our name affect how we feel about ourselves? Sometimes, parents give their children strange sounding names, and I have to wonder if it changes the course of their lives. I’ve talked before about how Texas Governor [...]

Thursday Thirteen #20—I’ve Been Meaning To Tell You

July 25, 2007

This was supposed to be the week of our “vacation,” and we were planning a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which is one of our favorite places to visit. However, by the time we discovered that we really got this week, rooms at The Crescent were booked. We considered other hotels, but we discovered there [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 19—I’m Boring, Yes I’m A Square

July 19, 2007

I wasn’t even going to write again until Sunday, because lately I’ve become a one-note wonder. I thought I’d take a break and catch my breath, so I could write about things that would interest all my readers. I felt a little like my friend SusieJ felt a few days ago and I thought powering [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 18—Multiple Personality Disorder

July 11, 2007

Y’all have seen those silly personality tests that float around the internet. I think they are goofy, ridiculous and bogus. They are all a load of bunk. And, I can never resist taking them! I have had them hidden on another page for the longest time because, quite frankly, I was a bit embarrassed about [...]

Thursday Thirteen # 17—I’m A Spoil Sport

July 4, 2007

Congratulations to the Thursday Thirteen Meme for turning 100 weeks old this week! For those of you who are not bloggers and wonder what the heck I’m talking about, on Thursdays several hundred bloggers write a list of 13 things in a post. It can be anything: a list of books, thirteen foods they like, [...]

Thursday Thirteen #16—I’ll Never Do It Again

June 27, 2007

You ain’t even gonna believe this, y’all, I may be dumb, but I am not stupid. There are some things I just won’t do again. Yes, it’s true. I learn from my mistakes. And, I’m here to tell you that you need to take heed. I’ll never say “never” unless I’m pretty sure I mean [...]

Thursday Thirteen # 15—Don’t You Just Hate It When…

June 20, 2007

For those of you who aren’t bloggers, there is a “tradition” among some of us. On Thursdays, we list “13 things” about ourselves in an attempt to get to know each other better. Usually, I’m not listing personal things. I just list random things that catch my fancy. When I can, I add humor, at [...]

Thursday Thirteen #14—Parental Advice

June 14, 2007

Y’all have to excuse my posts dedicated to Daddy this week. Well, it is Father’s Day this weekend, so that’s part of my excuse. However, my Daddy is in my head this week every year, because it’s the anniversary of his death back in 1994. Now, I’m not all maudlin about it, but I do [...]

Thursday Thirteen #13—I’m Not Superstitious

June 6, 2007

When I realized this was my Thirteenth Thursday Thirteen, I was a little bit concerned, because thirteen is not a lucky number. Then I thought, “Hey, I’m not superstitious!” Or, am I? 1. Garlic is used to keep blood-thirsty vampires away. I eat it profusely to keep the front row of kindergarten urchins in the [...]
