    Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, November 17, 2005
    My other Thirteens

    1. I helped my neighbor paint (another) room in her home yesterday, after I’d spent all day painting in my studio. Me? Paint much? Naaahhhhhh.

    2. Two swimmers picked on me yesterday at the Y because I have an ink splotch on my chest. It’s a tattoo. I suggested we all go have a few drinks and visit the new tattoo artist in town. (I want a Thumper tattoo!!)

    3. One of the swimmers name is Sam. That’s not his full name, he’s Iranian. He told me his full name but I could never pronounce it. I like Sam better anyway, because now I come up with little Dr. Seuss/Dick & Jane type rhymes “to and fro” the gym. ie. Sam Swam. Swim, Sam, Swim! Shamalamalam, Sam Swam! See? Think of more for me. It’s fun.

    4. I was going to make this whole list today questions for you. Then I remembered how most people who answer list type questions answer them in numbered order but leave out the question. I know this because I do it, too. And I can imagine how confusing it is to read “6. Yes!” and then have to scroll back up to see what the heck they said “Yes!” to. I don’t want to do that much work. Not today anyway. Maybe next week!

    5. I received my exhibition schedule for my first ever public display of my work! It’s March-April (the whole month), 2007. It seems so far away, but the space I have to fill is 15 feet wide, 6 foot high and 17 inches deep. I can put a lot of paintings in that space!

    6. While at Lowe’s last Friday browsing for Christmas lighting, I saw a lighted palm tree that I thought was cool. I thought it was a neat idea, for those of us stuck in this frozen terrain, to have something beachy and bright to make us feel warm. There were two sizes, the smaller of the two being 4 feet high with palm leaves, you know, spread out at the top. I didn’t get it of course, it’s frivolous, and I don’t buy frivolous stuff, I’m a necessity kind of shopper! Well, my husband, who spoils me absolutely rotten, ran down to Lowe’s on an errand and you know what he came home with?

    7. It’s fun to be spoiled by your husband. :cheerful:

    8. I had a couple of crazy dreams this week that I remember, but they’re not worth getting into. This week is a negative dream week, I don’t like those. I tend to wake up upset with whoever was mean in my dream. Why do I do that???

    9. Will whoever actually reads this list, say “Aye”!

    10. I read everyone’s 13 last week. Did you? Every single one of them. It took me a few days, but I did it. That’s the whole purpose of the thing, to get to know other people. It’s working pretty well, eh? 😀

    11. I’m getting spoiled with fancy coffee, and now regular Folgers tastes wierd to me. I’m slowly becoming a Coffee Hauser like my dear friend JaG. (She’s a Starbucker.)

    12. I’m looking forward to cooking a huge meal next week on Turkey Day. It’s been a couple of years since my hubby was home for Thanksgiving, it’s going to be a very warm cozy day at our house. :lovestruck: My turkey’s are always uber tender and fall right off the bone, Leanne’s “requires no carving” turkey. Nummy. I still end up calling my mom in the middle of cooking something to get a refresher on how to cook. Jeez. I should try cooking more than once a year. Most of the time I call for something silly, like “how long does it take for eggs to boil????” Doh.

    13. I baked pumpkin cookies the other day (courtesy Jeanette, thank you girl!), they are AWESOME and I will. never. reach my goal for body weight. Dang. (Tip: dip them in french vanilla cool whip! Holy cripes!)

    That’s a great 13 this week!
    Congratulations on the exhibit. You must be thrilled.
    I liked the palm tree story. Congratulations, also, on choosing such a wonderful husband!
    I have no idea how long it takes to boil an egg!!! Fortunately, I don’t have to cook, even once a year. We’re going to someone else’s house for turkey dinner.
    Here’s my 13: http://thefountainpen.net

    Here’s my 13 for this week. http://lillyput.blogspot.com/

    Cool about your art show… and I’ll be looking for that pumpkin cookie recipe. I’ve got 8 more pumpkins to cook up and use. I made pumpkin soup last week and saved some for T-day. I need a bigger freezer. Last year I could just leave stuff in the garage, but this year is too warm for that.

    Renee :cheerful:
