    Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, March 30, 2006
    My other Thirteens
    1. My girlfriends think I should care less about what other people think. I’m not sure I can do that, what do you think?

    2. Great ideas fall right out of my butt onto the floor head onto my desk. It just happens. I can’t stop them, it’s like giving birth, only completely painless. It’s a gift. Or quite possibly a curse, I’ll get back to you on that.

    3. I censor what I write on my blog, probably more than anyone else does or would, if given the chance.

    4. This sentence has been banned, removed, and replaced with something more appropriate.

    5. I am my own thought police.

    6. So go look at the pretty pictures instead, because I’ve prohibited myself from saying anything that could be misconstrued, twisted, and blogged about by a bunch of people who might not “get” what I said.

    7. If what goes around comes around, I’ve been dishing out some stanky stuff. If anyone is aware of the time limit for the coming back around part, please let me know. I’m still waiting, and starting to get paranoid. (indiscreetly sniffing for b.o.)

    8. I’m starting to wonder if skinny bitches were once fat & happy. Is that what happens? I know I used to tell myself “I’d rather be fat & happy”, so I decided to finally complete that sentence and add “than be a skinny bitch”. Why did I do that? Because I’m pretty snarky when I can’t eat whateverthehelliwanna, I’m losing weight, and so the next logical step would be… yep, you guessed it.

    9. Who truly believes in their heart of hearts that “imitation is the finest form of flattery”? Really. How to you perceive imitation?

    “Anything you can do, I can do better,
    I can do anything better than you.
    yes I can – no you can’t – yes I can – no you caaaannnnnnn’t!”
    Nevermind my singing, what are your thoughts on imitation?

    10. Another busy week so far, and in case you haven’t already, go visit MommaK and tell her she’s pretty. And that her blog is pretty, too.

    11. I considered a “how to switch from Blogger” entry, but it would be somewhat long and technically detailed. Would anyone be interested in that entry if I wrote it?

    12. Where’s my two dollars?

    13. A couple of fun projects in the works – a website design (a fellow artists gallery), a new blog launch, the wedding couple painting, the 4×4 paintings series, my own gallery reformatting and updating, Lisa‘s wedding – I’m still uber busy here and blogging by the seat of my pants (when the voices in my head tell me not to delete it after I’ve published it), so please forgive the complete irregularity of my blog lately. A picture’s still worth a thousand words, right? πŸ˜‰

    #10 – MommaK is very pretty and so is her blog. πŸ™‚
    #11 – I’d be very interested in a post about how to switch off stinky b**gger
    #12 – Have you checked your cup holder in your car? That’s where I find $$
    #13 – Busy is good. You do great work, your art is gorgeous, what more can you ask??

    mom said,

    “Goes around comes around”? I think it starts right after your kids leave home – and I think that’s only because that’s when you start to “notice” things. Then it keeps going – it seems to have no end…. I’m surprised almost every day by things that I can trace back to something coming around and hitting me in the butt… It’s not that bad, though, ’cause it happens one thing at a time and so far I can handle it… :zombie:

    Lazy Daisy said,

    Your very nature is to be a people pleaser. It would be nice to switch it on and off but it is engrained in your DNA. I think the “snarkiness” occurrs when your projects outnumber your time. You are absolutely brilliant baby girl whether these ideas fall out of your head (or other places.) Censoring yourself is not a bad thing ….(I wish more people would!) It’s a by product of excellence! You Go girl….you’ve always been my hero! (not to mention a wonderful example for your friends and family!) Get some sun, get some fun and remember you are well on your way to becoming one of those skinny b….. :giggle:

    Thanks for visiting my T13 Leanne!
    I would be very interested in a post about switching from blogger. Blogger is a pain in the butt.
    I got a book ou the library…”teach yourself drawing” – see how I go with that….if I get a chance to look at it with my 2 little monsters….LOL :cheerful:

    Take Care

    Nancy said,

    I so get the “idea” thing. I should be a professional thinker and have a staff put all my amazing ideas into reality. I got this idea, this week, that I can actually work on….

    I edit myself all the time…..

    everyone seems really busy right now, maybe because Mercury is finally direct and we can think clearly now.

    MommaK’s design is awesome!

    Enigma said,

    I perhaps should censor a bit more of what I write. I just throw it out there and then cringe later when I see my words spelled wrong and my grammar so poorly constructed that even I can’t follow the framgental snippets of nothingness.

    Have a wonderful day.

    Did you find your $2?

    My 13 is busy running grammar check on itself over at

    Froggie said,

    Hi Leanne! I think there are far too many people in this world who *don’t* speak their mind and far too many people who are too sensitive for their own good. πŸ˜€ I live honestly… but I will admit, I care too much of what other people think too.

    How to switch from blogger? I cheated and went to a free service that did it for me. Unfortunetly, I have now discovered they don’t allow any kind of javascript to be imbedded. sigh. Can’t use blogroll or any of those other services and I really don’t feel like switching again. Perhaps someday….

    I’m playing TT this week to! :yahoo:

    Lisa said,

    Yeah, I would’ve been interested in that “Move from Blogger” sentence too. πŸ˜€

    And I care way too much about what anyone thinks. It drives me nuts, yet…I can’t stop doing it! If someone knows a secret to stop, please feel free to share. πŸ™‚

    Hey – love MommaK’s new look! :good:

    Yes, I’d be interested in a switchfromblogger post. I linked you in my 13 and billed you as the brilliant artist you are. MommaK’s digs are to die for! Not to mention your gallery.

    haha on the two dollars. Thanks for making me smile. :good:

    lol to #1, sorry, i can’t tell you, it’s for your own good!
    i’d love to read about switching from blogger, i have no idea what that even means, but i have noticed quite a few are switching to word press, again, something else i really don’t understand.

    Some of my entries sit in draft form in wp for such a long time that when I go back and look, they’ve grown cold and moldy and even I can’t figure out what I was getting at.

    But I’m sure it is best to put some on the back burner or throw them out. I wouldn’t want to hurt someone, but words do that.

    Good TT.

    Selfish as it sounds, i’d love to read a how to switch from blogger. I own my domain which I’ve pointed to my blogger site. Now I need to take the final step and get the rest.

    I think you should have a top secret blog where you can write unsensored. Of couse, I want the addy so I can read the snarky thoughts too!

    I don’t censor because my fam doesn’t know about my top secret blog. But if they did, I’d censor.

    I am always interested in what fellow bloggers have to say, whether I agree or not. I don’t self censor my hubby does that for me. Lot’s of times after posting he will say I really wish you hadn’t said that. Please remove line such and such. And I do!! I like your blog and think I will add it to my list. Have a great day!

    Imitation is flattery as long as they don’t get past 70% of imitating and/or as long as the person moves on after about 3 imitations? I guess I’m talking art. And it’s only flattery if the person imitating is not a flaming lunatic then I’d develop a conplex that my style attracts the type, then I’d have to have the person assasinated :yahoo:

    Kat said,

    Everytime I go visit your T13, it makes me smile a little more bravely as I put a post-it on my brain to stick with the original intent of the TTs which I remember to be getting to know each other better instead of just dishing out surface stuff which is what I’ve been doing lately. Why do I do that? Maybe I am with you on #1. Hmmm. You think?

    Yes! to 11 & 13, please and thank you.

    Love your “butt droppings”, btw. :hug:
