My other Thirteens
2. Another crazy dream (the night before last) involved a house fire. The roof of our home burned away to nothing leaving a big gaping hole to the sky – and it was spring, and the rains came, and it was pouring inside our house. Our bed was like a swimming pool, so I dove in and did a few laps.
Then we left to go buy a new refrigerator, because I’ve always wanted a side-by-side.
3. Okay so I got a new credit card. It’s a Disney credit card. Guess which character I picked for my card?
4. I’ve been using a lot of new skin care products lately. Trying things out. The ones I’m having the most success with are Dove (thanks Jeanette!) and a ProActiv knockoff that I found that has a clarifier and toner in it. Only problem with that one – it’s turned my white facial sponge orange. Hm. I wonder what’s in that stuff?
5. We recently made a rather large purchase, a Bowflex from the second-hand exercise equipment store. I am determined to use the dang thing every single day, and so is our daughter. It is now her new “puttin’ my shoes on ma!” bench. Hey, at least it’s not storing our laundry…yet.
6. I doodled that self-portrait in my header and colored myself in the other night. I had doodled several girlies and decided that this is going to be my ‘toon style. It was a true stretch for me to doodle something less-than-realistic, so it’s probably very shocking to those of you who have been around me and my work and my doodles for a long time.
7. My sister (and I) thought of a new series that I could paint for my exhibition next spring. I’ll save the title of it as a surprise, but I’d like to ask you a favor – name your favorite bite-sized eatable. It doesn’t have to be a candy, just has to be bite sized, small’ish.
8. My cholesterol is 141! Yay! Blood sugar is 87, yay again! I guess – I don’t understand blood sugar levels but I’ve been told this is an acceptable number.
9. Did I tell you that I’ve developed a cool-pool-swimming-anxiety? Yes I am a freak of nature. If there are more than 2 people per lane, I can’t breathe or paddle my little legs through the water, and I may as well be on a respirator. I’m not going to the cool pool to have a heart attack, I was going to make my back feel better. Now my back is starting to hate me again, and the SUV Swimmer is probably pleased as punch with her lane hogging dog paddling self.
10. The last time I went swimming, my suit was nearly elasto-bare and I pitched it in the trash on the way out. Why didn’t someone tell me I was shedding rubber?
11. We have a 26×30’ish sized carport attached to our garage. The roof of the carport is flat. It constantly needs to be re-roofed, which is a pain in the patootie. We recently got a bid to either (a) demolish the damn thing or (b) peel off the roof and build a pitch, shingling it for longer durability. Guess which one is more expensive? Which one do you think we’ll be doing?
12. I get catalogs from a place called Venus USA. I’m not sure how they found me, or why they assumed I had the body of a Playboy bunny, but I get these things every month and I’m forced to look at these cutsey tiny pieces of clothing modeled by women who I doubt ever gave birth in a catalog with sizes only available up to size 10. (I checked the measurements, and if they think an XL will fit a normal 12, they’re nuts.) Why? Why me? They mock me. I hate them.
13. I’m buying my bikini out of that stupid catalog this year if it kills me. Should I start my liposuction fundrasier now?

Ew…I know that Venus catalog. Hooker gear :shocked:
I’ll contribute to your lipo fund if you chip in for mine. :hug:
I am totally loving this pattern, it’s not too slutty is it? Their coverups and tanks/halters are adorable, I think – but I like to be half nekkid when it’s 90 degrees out.
:slaphappy:
I dream in colour. I also lucid dream. Things can get a bit wild in dreamland sometimes
My TT is up

I enjoyed your TT. I miss swimming but no pool anywhere near me. I have had several weird (very real) pregnancy dreams…I don’t like them they are more like nightmares to me.
my youngest daughter swims competitively, her bathing suits get like that too, i have to replace them every three months. i had a look at your link for your bikini, it looks great, nothing slutty about that.
i’m doing the tt too
I’m a freak, I don’t dream or at least I don’t remember them. My list is up. Have a wonderful Thursday. Take-Care…
Good for you and your blod levels. I believe they are good if you tell me so! And wear that bikini! you’ll look great no matter what. Thanks for stopping by my TT! :dance:
I love you cartoon!
Smallish nibble: raspberries
I think the full moon is coming up. Maybe that is why you are having such vivid dreams.
I’m UP!
Like your doodle. :swimming:
I also get catalogs in the mail from strange companies that I never requested.
You have some very interesting dreams :cheerful:!
I love your cartoon……you are adorable. :yes:
My 13 are up.
Sushi for #7! Not pretty, but yummy. Great list as usual!
Mine are up!
I can’t swim since watching Open Water… or whatever that shark movie was from a couple years ago… freaky! Happy 13!
Love your doodle! I wish I had your talent!
Guessing that getting a roof put on is more expensive than tearing the whole thing down?
Bikini pattern is great – but I am so not brave enough to wear one! (Any bikini that is not just this one)
Smallish nibble – Hmm, grapes? Yum!
You so dont need lipo Leanne!
(just cause I know how much you love these dancing fruits!)
Take Care
Ivoryfrog x
aww, the fruits aren’t working. :bawling:
I’m betting it cost more to DEMO that carport than it does to put a new roof. Therefore… I bet you’re getting the new roof! And for bite-sized nibbles? My favorite would be either popcorn or strawberries…. depends on my mood! You’re cartoon you is very cute! I would kill for half your talent… well, maybe not kill… maybe hurt… well, no … not hurt…. perhaps thwap…. yea… I’d thwap for it!
My list is up! :winking:
I love your doodle/cartoon! 🙂
My bets are with Melli that its going to cost more to demo the carport than put a new roof on. 🙂 Just my guess….
A bit size nibble? My favourite is mmm… I supppose I would have to say a chocolate Turtle. :blush:
Got my TT up!
Cute doodles, Leanne! I wish I slept long enough to HAVE dreams. 😉
I’ve never heard of that magazine.
Bite sized nibble…Cheez Its!

I like to “translate” dream symbols and it seems easier to do when its someone else’s dreams. Can I ‘play’ with yours? (just with the classic (basic) symbolism) I’ll just ass-u-me its okay…
~~
I was pregnant, (NEW BIRTH/PROJECT/ADVENTURE) 9 months(ANY MOMENT NOW) in fact. I was having contractions,(GOING THRU A PROCESS) and went to the hospital,(NURTURE AND CARE OF SELF) and was trying to ditch my husband (THIS IS YOUR “BIRTH PROCESS” AND MUST DO IT ALONE) because I was mad at him.(YOU MAY FEEL A LITTLE FEAR BUT YOU ARE LOVED) Some lady with a week-old baby came up to me and apologized to me, said “I swear, if I knew I would never have done it”. You can figure the rest out all by yourselves. (IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION BRINGS ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. CONSIDER THE “LONG HAUL” AND DECIDE IF ITS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO)
2. Another crazy dream (the night before last) involved a house fire (ANCIENT CLEANSING METHOD-FIRE). The roof of our home (YOUR THINKING) burned away (REMOVED “THINKING OBSTACLES”)__to nothing leaving a big gaping hole to the sky (A CLEARER PATHWAY TO THE ETHERS AND SACRED CONNECTION)- and it was spring, (NEW BIRTH/DAWNING) and the rains (SPIRITUAL CLEANSING) came, and it was pouring inside our house (YOUR ENTIRE BEING). Our bed (A CONNECTING POINT JOINING THE PHSYCIAL WITH THE SPIRITUAL. DREAMLAND) was like a swimming pool (WATER=SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS), so I dove in and did a few laps.(YOU HAVE A COMFORTABLE CONNECTIONS…JUST ENJOY IT)

Love the toons! As for my favorite bite size food, love sushi, california roll is my favorite!!
And I bet Demo with the carport is cheaper! Am I right?
Happy Thursday, my 13 is up! :cheerful:
Holy cannoli, Crusty! That is A M A Z I N G ! Jeez I hope it’s accurate!!
An additional thought… perhaps the burning of the roof to open it up might also be an encouragement for you to clear yourself of thinking as in ‘meditation’ in whatever form you use.
Crusty
I didn’t know you were doing an exhibit. That’s cool. You’re better than I am about swimming. I hate swimming. I’m convinced I’ll shrink if I get wet. (showers are different) Hope you find a way to find some relief for your back.
Thanks for visiting my 13!
Nice list – this is my first visit to your blog and I love it so far. You take some great pictures.
My Thursday Thirteen are up.
If I had a pregnancy dream, I would consider it a nightmare at this point in my life! I love your toon girl! I’ve been looking for a new avitar for myself. I want something sexy and vampy. No luck yet. Have a great weekend!
I love the way you ask us questions to respond to almost everyone of your 13. I have had no crazy dreams lately. And I am glad.
I guess that you picked Minnie Mouse for the character.
Small food – grapes. White ones are best.
Tearing the whole carport down and rebuilding is much cheaper than fixing the roof.
My 13 is up and well @
Wish you the best!
I don’t know anything about sugar levels, etc… either.
I do love Venus swimwear and such… I have two of their suits 🙂
My 13 is up if you’d like to visit 🙂 :wave:
I don’t dream anymore since the labotomy :duh: . jk :yahoo:
Good 13, stop by mine to :thanku:
cheers
Good for you with the cholesterol and blood sugar. I love the doodle. Probably my favorite bite size food would be scallops or strawberries or grapes. Thanks for coming by my 13
That was some wild dream interpretations! You picked cinderella’s castle. I know how much you love bambi!! Bite sized cheese cake is the best. I have some paint samples for you to look at, but I really think you won’t like them. Yes, I’ve been to the paint store!! :rolleyes:
You sure are one talented chick :good:
I sort of did the TT this week. Trying so hard to get back :friends:
I came for the dream. A little late. I’m on an island so that explains it. My husband is usually in trouble in most of my dreams and sometimes when I wake up I’m still sort of mad at him for something he did in the dream!!
LOVE the cartoon, it’s cute 🙂
My favorite bite-size treat (that I don’t have very often, darn) is a chocolate/raspberry Godiva truffle.
Good luck working on the bowflex!!
[…] 3. I ordered 20 small canvases for a series I’m going to be doing. They arrived yesterday, and they are so cute! Many of you gave me suggestions (remember?) on small’ish bite sized foods. The canvas and the suggestions go together, and I’ll tell you the rest when I introduce the series. […]
