13 Super Sweet Morsels about Leanne
My other Thirteens

1. I dream in full color, and my dreams are so real that nearly every day I wake up tired with clear memories of what happened in my dream.

2. I picked a winning box of Finding Nemo cereal, and we’re the lucky winners of a Disney Wobbler Collection! Woohoo! Weebols Wobble but they don’t fall down!

3. I got about 5 hours of sleep lastnight.

4. I was up late working on my Ordering information, and Sales & Specials. 😉

5. Still swimming 7-8 laps a day at the YMCA. I’m even getting a little faster and a little less out of breath each time I go.

6. I have a new pair of shower shoes. Neener Neener!

7. I love my new blog design. I love that when I look at my sidebar I start singin’ little ditties. It makes blogrolling fun!

8. WordPress dot com is up. www.wordpress.com. I am very excited about this! Why? Because maybe, just maybe, I can get people to join my cult and get a wordpress blog and find out what it’s like to blog in the best platform ever made. Seriously. I love it that much.

9. Since going live in my new blogaroonie layout, I’ve switched completely over to Firefox. I’d been using it intermittantly, but when the design was complete there was some code that IE just didn’t want to read and/or get along with. I hate that. So I opened up Firefox, saw my blog, and selected it as my default browser. It’s so much better that I even became an affiliate and link them over there on my sidebar. So if you don’t have Firefox, go try it. It doesn’t conflict with IE, so if you keep IE as your default you can just open pages in one and the other and see for yourself. Things are better when your browser knows how to read code!

10. I’ve completed 36 projects this year, between paintings and custom illustrations. That doesn’t include the 4 projects waiting in the wings. (and yes, Clara, the Dewdrop Daisy is among them!)

11. I keep fashion catalogs purely as reference materials so when I draw people, I have a ton of models ready and waiting. And they look nice, too.

12. I’m gonna be a maid-of-honor next summer! 😀

13. I am always looking for smelly-good candles for our house, spend way too much money on fragrances that smell raunchy when they fill the air. I have “scented candle frustration”. There. I’ve said it.

Wow Leanne! I love your jazzy new design. I also love WP ( a new convert) and FF as well. Don’t we just have a lot in common?? :cheerful:

I think I am going to do this list. It is a very cool idea. I am off to jazzercise but when I get back I’m on it! Thanks:wave:

Nice change in design, Leanne. I especially like the way you can open and close your navigation on the left.

I put up your Thursday-13 on my site, Leanne. Here’s the link:

i love how the comments show up! i especially love the little corners!
i got this wonderful candle from this lady (http://www.candleeire.com/) and it’s soooooooooo smelly good!! i think the scent is called shea and rice flower. it’s so subtle but so good!! i dont see that scent listed on her site, but you could probably ask. she sent a bunch of samples to Jen (her neice) and i managed to snag that one.

anyhoo…….i am really loving the new look!

How funny. I keep fashion catalogs, too. They’re in the bathroom as “reading material”, but really they’re there in the event I run out of toilet paper.:shock:

Leanne said,

Jeanette, I know why you keep them in the bathroom. It’s okay. I would do it, too. :muted:

Thanks for the info, Taba!!

I didn’t know people wore shoes in the shower. Go figure.

Carol said,

Uh, Leanne. I am kinda confused over the 13 meme. Who links to who? I linked to Utenzi. Let me know, kay?
😐

Leanne said,

Hi Carol! You can link to whoever you found the Thirteen through. I go through whoever got it from me, and kinda follow on down the line and add links to my list, leave comments with the link to mine, and hopefully it becomes a nice big “get-to-know-ya” linkfest!

:good:

Leanne said,

Blogspot isn’t working right now Carol, I may be linking yours late! :indifferent:

(See #8 on my list. :lol:)

Mine is up, Leanne!

E said,

By the way…I’m a BIG firefox fan…I very rarely ever use IE anymore….

Utenzi said,

The linking question that Carol brought up is a little confusing but at least no lives are depending on it. Given the recent weather, that’s a godsend.

I never use IE either though Firefox is only a secondary browser for me. I usually use Opera though I do have to use others for some things. No single browser will work with everything so you need to use the tool that is best for the job at hand. Very practical, no?
