Thirteen Reasons I’m Thankful — Turkey Is Not One Of Them

November 26, 2009

Happy Thanksgiving! I imagine that you all are ready for the feasting and football. What? You haven’t slain the turkey yet? We haven’t either, because there will be no “traditional” Thanksgiving in our family this year. With our children scattered around the country, my Sweet Spousal Unit and I haven’t [...]

Link Love Again

October 9, 2008

When I first began this blog, I often sent you to view posts by some of my favorite bloggers. Lately, I’ve been remiss.
For my 49th Thursday Thirteen, I decided to tell you about some posts I’ve seen that I liked AND about some happenings around my place. I know you are [...]

Ring Tailed Tooter, Clint Walker, Bottletrees and The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile

September 18, 2008

Those things have nothing in common, except that I’ve blogged about them before. People come to my blog every day searching for them, so I thought I’d put them together in one place to make it easy. Interspersed with some other things I want you to know about, it can be my Thursday [...]

Thursday Thirteen #47. Signs of a True “Roadhouse”

August 6, 2008

These days, if you drive along the highways of Texas, you are bound to see a “restaurant row” outside of any metropolitan area. Chances are good that , if you look real hard, you will see something called “Texas Roadhouse” nestled among those slick, shiny establishments. There is another chain restaurant called “Logan’s [...]

Thursday Thirteen #46: Cholesterol, Crochet, and Country Music

July 31, 2008

No, they don’t have anything to do with each other. However, all are on my mind this week, as well as a lot of other things. I’ve been doing a lot of “pondering and piddling” this week, y’all. I’ve had plenty of time to think, because I’ve been all by my lonesome.

Thursday Thirteen #45. My New “Baby!”

July 10, 2008

It’s Thursday Thirteen time, and I want y’all to be the first to know:
I HAVE A NEW BABY!

Well, not really a baby. In fact, it’s only a camera. A Canon Rebel XLI. I had to have it finally. And, I have the same problem with it that I have with new [...]

Thursday Thirteen #44. Good Luck or Bad Luck?

July 3, 2008

I’ve been thinking about “luck” after finding a hand-written note to myself. I’ve been cleaning out some of the papers I’ve saved and found a paper from 1996! Do y’all think it was time for me to clean out my files?
For some reason, I had written these superstitions about luck down with my [...]

In just a few short weeks, a year long project will be over for me. We are delivering all those lovely afghans I have been yammering about to the kids at Camp Sanguinity. Click on the Flickr badge on the sidebar to see 140 of them! As soon as all those boxes [...]

Thursday Thirteen #42. One Woman’s Trash Is Another Woman’s Treasure

June 11, 2008

I thought I would take you on a visual tour of my house for Thursday Thirteen. My sister looks down her nose at my decorating style. She complains that I have too much stuff. And, she thinks my stuff is just “too weird.” Y’all take a look and tell me what [...]

Thursday Thirteen #42. It’s Graduation!

June 4, 2008

Do any of y’all have graduates this year? We have one about to graduate (Yippee!) and he is the last of the bunch. That means that the last few weeks have been busy, and it isn’t going to slow down soon. For Thursday Thirteen, I guess this is thirteen observations.
1. I [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 41. Questions.

May 29, 2008

I haven’t played the Thursday Thirteen meme in a long time, because I’ve been very pre-occupied and self-absorbed lately. Health issues have plagued me (so to speak). I recently related that I have Hepatitis C antibodies in my blood.
Lots of folks have been asking me questions. I’m not an expert, [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Forty—Things I’m Learning From Blogging

March 27, 2008

Y’all, I’m about to celebrate a blogging anniversary. Though I have been blogging since January of 2007, I migrated to WordPress and my own domain in April. It’s been quite a “ride.” During the course of this blogging experience, I’ve learned a lot of things about it, about people, and about me. [...]

March 5, 2008

Aw, heck, y’all I’ve gone silly around here and forgot it was going to be Thursday Thirteen time! So, let me tell you about a few links, and tell you about birthing a blog. Having a ten pound baby without anesthesia was a lot easier!

February 27, 2008

“If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet, they’re about to announce the lottery numbers! “~Homer Simpson

Thursday Thirteen #36 I’m A Bag Lady

February 7, 2008

Do y’all ever get side-tracked when you go on the internet? I sure do. I just wanted to look up “bags” on the internet, and got all carried away (I’ll tell you why I was looking in a minute). It’s a good thing I can never find my purse, or I’d whup out [...]

Thursday Thirteen # 34. What Rattles Around in My Head

January 16, 2008

To tell the truth, everything is rattling in my head. The jackhammers have been ripping into my bedroom floor, and I’m reeling from the noise and turmoil. For Thursday Thirteen, I’m just giving you whatever floats to the surface.
1. Earlier this week, I talked about my Scheherazade Complex. It seems I [...]

Thursday Thirteen #33 I’ve Been Working On A Chain Gang

January 10, 2008

Didja get it, huh? “Chain Gang?” It’s my “hook” to draw you in (I sound like Jay Leno begging for pity laughter).

Some of you may be aware that I have been working on a little charity project on my blog. It’s called Share A Square, and it’s about making crocheted granny afghans [...]

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 [...]
