    Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, April 20, 2006
    My other Thirteens
    1. I’m blogging my dreams now over on my new dream blog, Just Dreamy. I’ve already had a couple of doozies, too! Colleen, thank you for your interest in my dreams, this is all your fault.

    2. The next post I publish will be how to get off of blogger. Pinki Swear. I started walking Shelli through it last weekend, so I’m going to write it down while it’s all fresh in my mind.

    3. While you’re reading this, I am in my studio sketching my new painting. It’s 18″ x 36″, and I’ll post the sketch when I’ve completed it. Here’s one clue: Vitamin Sea. That’s all I’m giving you.

    4. I will also begin working on the other series, since I finally got over to the store to pick up the backdrop for those paintings. That’s the one where a whole bunch of you told me your favorite bite sized edible nummy. If you didn’t make a suggestion, please feel free! I’ve got a list going!

    5. The first color I normally put on my palette is raw umber. It’s also probably the color I use the least. Strange.

    6. There are some new brushes that I really want, they’re Aqualon Wisps. Well. Now that I’m looking at them, I don’t like them as much. Hm. Nevermind then. πŸ˜› Does that ever happen to you? Please tell me it does.

    7. I think I am finally going to end the week on the other side of this weight loss stand still I’ve been on for over a month. I never was good with a yo-yo, especially when it’s wrapped around my hips, if you know what I’m sayin’. I’ll be one helluva happy camper if I get through this plateau – I haven’t even blogged at my weight loss blog (Pounds2Go). My head is hanging in the hall of shame. Crossing my fingers that things will perk up by Friday and I can be inspired, and inspire others again.

    8. I did, however, pull my pants down the other day. :shocked: Capri jeans, that is. Still zipped and buttoned, I didn’t even have to wriggle. That was cool!

    9. Our girls and I went to a park the other day with my neighbor friend and her kids, and boy did I get a workout. We played a bit of tag, and I was “it”, a lot. By the end of it all, her 10 year old said parents shouldn’t be able to run that fast, and shortly after that I knocked the top of my head into a beam. No more runnin’ for me! Doh.

    That (still) hurt(s).

    10. Right now I have more great photographs that I want to blog than I have days to blog them. I try to put up a photo a day, but I may have to double up before some of them get lost or forgotten.

    11. I have to share my feet, including my creepy naked toenail photograph. If you’re easily queasy, now would be a good time to cover your eyes. Please keep in mind that until now, I could count the people who have seen my naked toenails on one hand. It’s a rare thing, almost more rare (rarer?) than a blue moon. Okay an eclipse. Something rare. Just pick something rare.

    Okay everybody – IEEEEW! Ooooohhhh! Aaaaahhhhh. Happy toes!

    We love stories with happy endings, especially when it involves toe rings and new flip flops. (MommaK, I did you proud, my friend, didn’t I? :sniffles: You needed that. I know it.)

    12. I love my new flip flops. They’re pink. They’re soft and leathery and ooooh my new favorites. And I’m so happy the weather is nice enough for them! Yayyy for flips flops and pretty toes! What color are your flip flops, and more importantly, what color are your toenails? Just curious.

    13. Here’s a challenge for you Thirteeners out there. Get a post-it and a pencil, or print the list of this weeks’ participants from ThursdayThirteen.com. Over the next 4 days, make a mark every time you visit and leave a thoughtful comment with someone listed in this week’s TT edition (comments will close at 7AM CST on Saturday morning, so any time after that is good for printing the list). Stop back here on Monday and let me know how many you visited, and the top 2 will be next weeks featured blogs at the hub. Sound cool?

    Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

    2. I hate Blogger! I’m glad I left….can’t wait tp read your post.

    9. OUCH!!!

    My you were all over the place today. And I don’t do my toenails since I most always have socks on (horrible sweaty feet thing). But yours are very pretty and look good in the flip-flops. My TT is up.

    MommaK said,

    As I was scrolling, I said “OMG!! Naked toenails!!” and then “OMG!! I love those flip-flops!!) :yahoo: – It was like a roller coaster ride. Yes, I needed that and I love your flip flops. I’m getting mine done today. I’ll post a picture tomorrow just for you. :hug:

    Do you get TIME mag? I’m scanning you something and sending it over. Made me think of you…

    Flip flops, I have pink ones too πŸ˜€

    I guess I’ll have to go to your dream site to see what your subconscious is up to. I had one last night but forgot it already. I haven’t done my toes yet, but I think they look naked without polish. Toenails and lips need a little color then we feel better top to bottom! I’ve got mine up.

    Nothing like a pedicure! Can’t wait for your next post! πŸ˜‰

    Okay, maybe I’m weird but dark polish bothers me more than naked toes. (Just a quirk I guess.) I’m okay with lighter colours, though. A good pedicure is a must for summer! My TT is up.

    You are so brave showing your tootsies. I prefer the colored toe look to the bare one’s.. which reminds me I need to buy some more nail polish πŸ™‚

    OK – How did you know that I love seeing cute feet in flip flops? It is my secret reason for going to the beach. I swear all I ever look at there are ladies toes.

    *grin*

    Next time you need a foot washing let me know. I do a great massage and foot wash.

    Have an excellent day!

    You’ve been having some Yowzzah dreams lately my friend. Don’t know if I can handle it. But because I love you, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

    I love your flip flops, ring, and color! I never wear nail polish anymore for some reason… but I wear flip flops a lot. My new shoes are wintergreen colored.

    p.s. I ordered a spaghetti-strapped tee-shirt last night; is it possible for me to get the logo changed after I ordered it? I like the logo that says something about 13 not being unlucky. I posted this message on the TT13 home page too. jic :swimming:

    Okay! You’ve piqued MY curiosity! I can’t wait to see Vitamin Sea! Of course, I now have several ideas of my own what it would look like — but I want to see yours! Please, please PLEASE let me know when you post it??? Please?

    Love the flipflops and toesies! Maybe we should all do a similar “Tuesday Toes” pict ! LOL
    LOVE the hawk pict in the post below.. just astounding. Can’t wait to see the finished products for both paintings! πŸ˜‰

    Courtney said,

    Hope you are enjoying painting today. Pretty toes! I keep trying to wear flip flops, but um, is it possible that I am the only person who doesn’t look good in flip flops? Every time I try, I think that they look ridiculous with what I’m wearing and I take them off. But everyone else looks so cute in them. Hmpff. What’s a girl to do? Maybe I just need some professional fashion help. Let me rephrase…I KNOW I need some professional fashion help.

    My TT is up.

    My toenails are naked right now and I need new sneaker before I get new sandels.

    Great post on leaving blogger.

    Good list! Sometimes I’ll record my dreams aswell. I have a full journal of them from back when I was in junior high and sometimes I’ll re-read or share them with others such as my hubby and we get a good laugh in becuase of how crazy then can be.

    John Balone here…I have a foot fetish but I’m fussy. You have very pretty fett. Check out my blog AshfordManour. (one word) I really dislike “flip-flops” in church I see that a LOT! One thing I notice is with “flip-flops” you have to pay close attention to your heels. They become calloused. EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE to the highest degree. On the whole, however, you have very nice piggies! John Balone :thanku:

    :blush: Thanks for the tips, and the lovely compliment on my piggies, John! I tried your url, but couldn’t find you. Drop a link for me next time you stop by!

    I stopped by 22 people this weekend. I’m sure that’s not a lot, but it was a lot of FUN! I will need to keep doing that, this was an unusually busy weekend for me.

    Thanks again for all of your hard work πŸ™‚
