    Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, January 4, 2006
    My other Thirteens

    * * Posted Wednesday night, ’cause there’s birthdays and blogroll info involved! * *
    1. We’ve got a bunch of TT Cappies out there! Hop on by and wish Renee (1/4), Crystal (1/6), Steph (1/6) and Charity (1/9) Happy Birthdays, and if you guys are here, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! (I’m not sure that birthday wishing will be a regular feature of mine or not, but I’m a Cappy, they’re Cappies, it’s a Cappy thing!)

    2. The group weight loss blog is OPEN, if you haven’t seen it yet stop over there! There’s 40+ members already, holy MOLY! HTTP://POUNDS2GO.NET

    3. My Birthday is 10 days away! I’m going to be 35, for those of you who are wondering. I don’t care what the number is, I care about how I feel. (I say it this way so it excuses me for not even being able to calculate how old I am, and always resorting to the mathematical genius of my hubby and/or daughter. Oy.)

    4. I was hired as a (blog/graphic) designer for E.Webscapes. W00T!

    5. I didn’t finish Joey yet, got all buried underneath P2G memberships and plugins and stuff, and when I got up today I thought it was Thursday so I started working on this TT. THEN my hubby tells me “It’s Wednesday, honey.” DOH! and YAY! I have almost a whole EXTRA DAY TO DO STUFF!

    6. In addition to blog design, this year I’ll be preparing for my first art exhibition, too! Thankfully I can include photgraphy, if I need to fill a bigger space than what I’m seeing in my head. I have 6 paintings planned already, so I’ll probably stop taking custom portrait commissions for a while so I can work on blog designs and paintings. It’s going to be a very creative year!

    7. In the midst of the year, I’ll be in a wedding. Rubbing a buddah’s belly. On the East Coast, even! (unless they elope, that is. heh!) The bride and I are going to be hotties, too, because we’re both determined on our skinny programs.

    8. We’re also planning to go back to Disneyworld this year. At some point. :biggrin: We are a total Disney family. Did you know that of all the Disney characters, Thumper is my favorite? I am still hoping to get a Thumper tattoo. On my xxxxx xxxxx. (figure that one out. haha!) I’ll get it when my skin is the size it’s meant to be!

    9. My weight loss motivation comes from believing with my whole heart that when I reach my goal, someone is going to see me in the grocery store and offer me a million bucks to model bikini’s for them. Yep. That’s exactly how it’s going to happen. I’m sure of it.

    10. Our eagles are impressing the hell outta me this year, and I WILL PHOTOGRAPH THEM. They’re only here for the winter – and it’s not too terribly cold out there. I gotta get over to their nesting areas and take pics!

    11. We also have to get down to Colorado this year to visit our friends, Clara & Co. We miss them like crazy and it’s our turn for the road trip. She took the trip last time. Catybug is dyyyyying to go see her bestest buddy that moved away.

    12. I’m going to be really busy over the next few days, so if I disappear you know why.

    IMPORTANT for TT’ers

    13. I did a quick check of the Thursday Thirteen blogroll and unfortunately had to remove a whole slew of folks because they did not have the blogroll displayed on their blogs. There was even a blog on there twice that was very obviously not a participant at all. It was a random check of new blogs whose names I haven’t grown accustomed to yet – so please help me out with this. If you are on the blogroll, your blog should be displaying the blogroll. If it doesn’t, I’ve gotta remove you – it’s only fair. You can put it on a page and link to it, but it has to be there, somewhere. On. The. Front. Page. So if you don’t have it displayed, grab the code. If you come across a blog that is on the blogroll but you don’t see the blogroll when you get there? Let me know. It’s not my intention to tick people off, I did it to promote regular visits between everyone and give equal link promotion across the board. /rant.

    LINKS TO THIRTEENS I’VE VISITED TODAY:

    I’m visiting – just not leaving many comments at the moment! Gotta paint!

    Leave your link in comments & I’ll do my bestest to visit over the next few days!

    Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
    The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

    New participant as well… not sure what to do about the blogroll, what do I have to do to add it? I used the code, but I can be such a techno-idiot sometimes. Be more than happy to play by the rules if you’ll email me and tell me what to do exactly. Thanks, and love your site!

    Oh, girl, I’m so behind. I’m JUST NOW getting to my TT. Shoot, I have until midnight, right? πŸ™‚

    I haven’t gone to p2g yet, either, since getting my membership but I HAVE thought of y’all and how many confessions I already have (like I ate chocolate and did NOT run today)

    *sigh*

    I seriously love what you do. You have such great tact and wit. Thanks, Leanne!

    Greetings,

    I am one of those non-blog roll folks. I just get a great kick out of doing the 13’s. And my account at 20six sucketh muchly. I am trying to decide where to move to and then campout there for a good long time. Maybe in the meantime I will just add a link to it on a page or something… ?

    In any case I want to wish you success with your job and with the weight loss program. I lost 65 pounds 20 years ago and have kept it off ever since.

    my 13 is up at /

    Well, sheesh – it’s after midnight.. I did my 13 at 6am and I’m just now getting around to visiting and commenting on others 13’s. Life’s too busy and I suck at this so bad lol

    i’m happy to hear you’re painting today (or painted..I saw the dog in your other post – great job so far!).

    Would love to see pics of those eagles!

    Hmm… still no apple smiley. :zombie:

    Hi Leanne..
    I understand why you need to do what you do, about the Blogroll thing, BUT, let me just say this, once again. I honestly don’t seem to be able to learn how to do this blofroll thing…so, I call myself Technically Challanged..and that is the truth! Having said that…I will keep doing the Thursday Thirteen weather I’m “listed” or not…And if I can possibly EVER learn to do any of this I will be happy to have the Thursday Thirteen Blogroll visable….! Okay, my dear? I don’t know what else to do…and I must admit I feel a teeny tiny bit discriminated against because I don’t know how to do this….Okay, well, that is the way it is…so be it!
    It doesn’t dampen my enthusiasm for the Thursday Thirteen idea, one bit! And ALL thanks to you and your wonderful Idea!:good::dance::slaphappy::yahoo:

    Thank you! I am new to blogging and happened to run into Thursday 13 just by chance. What a wonderful idea…thank you for allowing me to meet so many wonderful people!
    I visited some blogs that showed up in a different blogroll…and I found porn. I was mortified knowing my son could have clicked on those sites. I feel really good about TT blogroll. You’ve made me very happy!
    Your site is beautiful. Your work is amazing.
    Don’t forget to take time for yourself and your hubby…
    My first ever TT is posted.
