Thursday Thirteen #35: Renting a Houseboat on Lake Powell
1. Don’t let Marianne train you. 2. The road to the rentals at Bull Frog Marina is not straight ahead on the wide, nicely paved road. That one is for the kind of rich people who can afford to actually own a boat. Rentals are to the right. Follow the road until it turns to dirt. You can park at the bottom by the “bridge” – which looks like a really long peer – but only long enough to get […]

Thursday Thirteen 31: Contests, Real and Imaginary
1. Whisper. What do you think? Too complicated? 2. Watermelon seed spitting. I have a friend who says her brother once spit a seed over the roof of the house. Knowing her brother, I believe her. 3. Unicorn duels. No way I could come up with 13 without making up a few. 4. The TriWizard Tournament. Actually, if I include ones other people made up I can do it easily. I’m all for easy. 5. Avon FanLit. Those who entered […]

Thursday Thirteen #26:Gross Things
Thursday 13 has started to do themes. I’m not sure how well I’ll do with this. I’ve already missed a couple of them, and may intentionally skip a couple. For May 9th it’s “Gross” as in the number 144 or any other definition of gross. You’ll have to excuse me if I get a little icky here. 13 Gross things in my life. 1. Something in the upstairs bathtub. It seems to be some sort of wet fabric stuffed into […]
Thursday Thirteen #25: Search engine links
These things people plugged into search engines that lead them to Alice’s Restaurant. Poor Schmucks. 1. “Alice Audrey” Awww, thanks. Someone actually knows I’m here. 2. “Katherine Howard slut” Mr. Al did a series on the wives of Henry VIII that were featured here. 3. “bifocals” The Thursday Therteen I did on my bifocals brings people in. Still. 4. “cruly hair” It was a rant, coming from my personal frustrations. 5. “Jack and Jill” What I do on Saturdays. 6. […]
Thursday Thirteen #23 :Sounds from around the house
[Due to problems with WordPress, the photo will have to be added later.] I was sitting around in my office, thinking about what to blog about today when I heard a lound thud from the next room. I still don’t know what it was. But I do know what a lot of the other sounds I hear are. 1. Rattle, rattle, scrape, thunk, crash – I thought it was the hamster escaping from his cage, but it turned out to […]
