T13: Thirteen Chunks of Meat
My favorite T13 post from last week is Argh! I can’t find my links. I wanted to feature the soldier who listed reason to be sad about returning home and reasons to be glad in two different weeks. Anyone seen that one? Anyone remember the list my kids came up with a couple of weeks ago? I’m talking about the list of lists that I could use for my Thursday Thirteen posts. Some of you challenged me to come up […]
T-13: Thirteen Identical Slices of Cheese
Featured T13 post from last week: Tricia pulled off a very creative TT. Last week I let my kids come up with suggestions for T13 topics. A fair number of you wanted to see what I, and my kids, could do with item # : 13 identical slices of cheese. Well, where it is: What? Not enough? But there are 13 of them. All right, fine. We did kind of have a little fun figuring out where the slices should […]

Thursday Thirteen: Just Why?
In the last two weeks I’ve linked to all kinds of people who are still doing Thursday Thirteen. There are scads of us out there. Clearly, if you still want to do them, there is no reason to hold back! Since I’ve made my point, I’m going to go back to doing them the way I have in the past. Here are thirteen times this week that I caught myself thinking “Just why” 1. Just why did the county send […]
Thirteen More Thursday Thirteeners

Good Bye Thursday Thirteen
You may or may not have noticed, but the Thursday Thirteen hub is no more. Seriously, that sucker is completely gone. Less than a full week after their announcement, they dropped hosting and now have a redirect to GoDaddy. Here is my 13-part reaction. 1. Wow! That was so sudden. It takes my breath away. 2. It was so fun. It was the highlight of my week. 3. I’m addicted to blog stats. Thursday was great because my stats always […]
TT: Things I Imagine Santa Might Say
So Santa is making his rounds. You know he’s gotta have it tough on Christmas Eve. If we were reindeer, you think we might overhear this? 1. Honest, lady. I’m leaving the gifts, not taking them. 2.

Yum, fruitcake. 7. Nobody believes in […]
TT : Things I'm Doing to Get In The Christmas Spirit
My attitude simply hasn’t been the best this Christmas. I’m not quite Scrooge, but I haven’t exactly been the life of the party lately. So here are 13 things I did, am doing, or plan to do to get in the right mood. 1. Put up lights. I did some but I think I need more. 2. Take pictures of houses where they put up a lot more lights than me, and send them to Kelly in hopes of capturing […]
Thursday Thirteen: Things That Went Wrong This Week
I tell you, if it wasn’t one thing, it was another. You may have noticed this post doesn’t have my usual amenities; no banner, no photos, no Mr. Linky. There’s a reason for that. 1. The laptop stopped giving me “battery not found” error messages. I would count this a good thing if it hadn’t gone straight to the Blue Screen of Doom instead. 2. The replacement battery I ordered didn’t fix it. 3. The repair shop has yet to […]
