    Thirteen Things about Leanne
    My other Thirteens

    1. I have been a very bad blogger over the last week, and have missed several updates about several new friends. One thousand lashes with a wet noodle for me.

    2. I trimmed and painted my toenails the other night, and in the process of trimming apparently I thought it would be fun to see if nail clippers worked on big chunks of skin! Yes, they do. They absolutely work on big chunks of skin. And afterwards? It hurts. So don’t do that.

    3. I’m all about the pool, not only have I continued my laps in the mornings, but now I’m taking a gaggle of girls back for an hour in the evenings. I am now a sponge for chlorine, and purchased many special items to combat the signs of drying out and masking my new scent, Eau de Pool.

    4. Now that the weather is getting cooler I’ve been sleeping longer, but worse. How is that? I toss and turn, have wierd dreams, wake up late and feel tired all day. Please explain this fall weather phenomenon.

    5. I’ve worn a cross & chain for years. And years. The other day, my chain broke while I was swimming. My cross, thankfully, was easily found. Feels wierd to not be wearing it.

    6. I’m horribly allergic to our guinea pig.

    7. I took a picture of a bug that looks like a leaf, but haven’t even opened the images yet to show you. This is how my week has been going.

    8. Tomorrow is “special person” day at school. I have two kids. One of them goes in the morning, and the special people should attend during that time. The other one has designated the afternoon as special person time, and you’re not allowed to bring children. Additionally, I have a pre-surgical consult tomorrow afternoon. So. That’s how my week is going to end, too.

    9. I’ve been asked by my neighbors to (help) paint a mural on a wall in their church. They would like to have it done by Sunday Service. This Sunday.

    10. I’m thinking about hiring a double. Anyone interested?

    11. Slowly but surely, as long as I am a good girl and eat sensible things, I am losing the pounds I’ve put back on that I spent a year losing. I hate being sensible, and I love carbs. It’s a horrible combination for success.

    12. I am playing with the idea of having a Pumpkin Carving Contest here on my blog over the next couple of weeks. Would that be fun? Would you submit your carving?

    13. I bought a new toothbrush. Woohoo! I know. Pretty exciting stuff here. You’re better off just looking at the pretty pictures.

    Painting a church by Sunday should be no problem for a “special” person like yourself.:giggle: GeeeeeeeeezzziePeeeeezie!!

    I would love to participate in any contest or game you do. Just sign me up for all of them.

    Question: Do you have a teeth fetish? :winking:

    Leanne said,

    MommaK, you crack me up. I’ll sign you up, but I’m not doing your carving for you, that’s cheating!

    Answer: Sortof. I have more of a fear of dentists, well, no. I’m not really afraid of dentists, it’s more the high pitched drill sound, and the 5 inch long needles full of novacane, and the sitting there bleeding and crying while everyone is in another room letting your filling “set up”. :zombie:

    Wow I thought I was the only one who attacked calluses with nail clippers. I’ve been doing that to my big toe for years, don’t go so deep and it won’t hurt. Also, I would LOVE to submit a photo for a pumpkin contest, I rarely have the opportunity to actually celebrate halloween since I grew up and can’t go trick or treating anymore (at least until I have kids anyway)

    Hi there, found you thru MommaK. I would totally be in for the pumpkin carving thing…but as for painting the church, not so much. Hard to do a mural with a roller.

    But I love little details that make people your wanting to get to know more real. Like…you know what color was that toothbrush? Maybe I’ll try this next Thursday…if it’s still going on and I can figure out how to do it.

    Love your thirteen….My cross keeps breaking the chains I choose to drape it around my neck….I think I need to take my cross to whatever jeweler it leads me to and let it tell me who its mate should be… 🙂

    I’ve linked your thirteen to mine already!

    Colleen, I will continue to do it until the entire Blogosphere thinks it’s cool and my list has a “to be continued” on another page. 😉

    My new toothbrush color is Raspberry! That’s my favorite color, next to purple.

    Here’s mine!. Our kids have “grandparents or special friends” day, too. But parents aren’t allowed to come, even if your kid doesn’t actually have a grandparent or special friend that’s available in the middle of the day right before Thanksgiving, thank you very much. So I went last year anyway, even though I wasn’t supposed to. They didn’t throw me out, either!

    Love the smileys! I had a really hard time picking one . . .but this one cracks me up. :jawdrop:

    Hey, forget the toothbrush…buy a new purse. I bought one today and spent a whopping $18 and I feel fantastic!!! I now have three luxurious purses in my collection. They are ages 10, 2 and brand spankin’ new! Oh, and the best part is its not black or brown. I’ve just thrown my sense of practicality out the window now haven’t I? WOOHOO! Maybe its the weather though after snow on Monday it was 75 and sunny today and should be through the weekend. Wanna come hiking with me this weekend Leanne? I think it would make your week better! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Hugs, clara

    Boy, you do need a double! That’s rough about the Special Kid day thing. I hope you can find a babysitter. I know my kid always makes me feel guilty if I can’t go to those things!

    Jen said,

    Wow, you have got a LOT going on! I can’t be your double, but if you find an agency that places doubles, will you let me know about them? I could use one, too!

    I played this week, for the first time, I’d never seen this before! How fun!

    Hi Leanne, I’m sliding in just under the wire with my Thirteen. Sounds like you could use a triple, not a double!

    Couldn’t get it together for the Thursday Thirteen this week, but I sure enjoyed yours. Sounds like your week is as crazy as mine. I would definitely submit my pumpkin, although it’s not nearly as fun as yours appear to be!
