    Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, October 20, 2005
    My other Thirteens

    1. I kicked off the Pumpkin Carving Contest yesterday. I’m waiting for my first submission. C’mon, people!

    2. I should have stopped drinking my coffee 1/2 hour ago. I’m not supposed to have anything 3 hours prior to my CT Scan today, but I’m not ready yet. Besides, aren’t appointments always 1/2 hour behind? In another 1/2 hour I get to drink 2 gallons of chalk. Yum. I bet you wish you were me right now, huh?

    3. I’m 5’6″!

    4. I dyed my hair Sunday. It’s like, orange, oh-mi-gawd! I was so frustrated that I got out my Wahl Clippers, threw the #7 attachment on them and shaved my head. There. Now I don’t have orange hair. I don’t have ANY hair at all! Oops. Good thing hair grows. Great thing, my gray hair grows SUPER fast. It hates to be ignored.

    5. My favorite pants are my “Y” yoga pants. They are so cozy that I want to wear them every day. They’re in the washing machine so I can wear them to my appointment, since they don’t have any metal in them. I wash them a lot.

    6. I sent MommaK pics of myself when I was (younger). She’s going to have a little contest today, and you should go play it. You can also see my goofy looking younger self. Holy crud, I just saw the one she put up of me. Bahaha! Okay. That’s hilarious!

    7. I received final payment for the Catfish project yesterday, which was (supposed to be) 10% of the final auction price. See that (supposed to be)? Yes. Well. This is not the first time, but I think it will be the last. It’s no easy thing to paint these giant critters, and for being the 3rd one I’ve basically given away, I think I’ve met and exceeded my charitable contributions for a lifetime.

    8. Now I’m reminded that I need to put my first two giant Frogs in my gallery. (Jotting that down in my handy-dandy-notbeook)

    9. I saw my podiatrist yesterday, the one who removed the lump in my foot last year. She is absolutely adorable and sometimes I wish I had more foot trouble. She is fun to chat with and visit! I wonder if Doctors have a “no patients as friends outside the office” rule. Or in this case, “no patients mom’s as friends outside the office” rule. Hm.

    10. I wonder how many people carve pumpkins anymore. Anyone? :bawling:

    11. I hate Halloween. Really. I do. People are having a hard time believing that I carved a pumpkin let alone bought costumes for the kids. What’s wrong with me? Well. Halloween teaches children how to beg, this much is true. MY children already do that very well. They’ve had much training. So, I think they’re ready.

    12. I bought a very cool model last weekend. I’ll buy her soulmate this weekend. I will get to use them on my next commission!

    13. I had two paintbrushes floop over on me yesterday. They quit on the job, those meanies. No two-week notice or anything. I hate when they do that.

    Good morning! Here’s mine. Oh, and I’ve never carved a pumpkin but we’re doing so this weekend. We’re going to use my Dremel, I think.

    Sounds like you’ve got quite a day ahead–good luck!

    I did the 13 Thursday! I also submitted a gawd awful ugly worst school picture to MommaK. I tried using the 13 header template, but it was too big for my blog and pushed off all the sidebar stuff, so I took it off. I had fun reading your 13s and thinking about you with a shaved head and wondering which picture at MommaK’s is you!

    Wow, you shaved your head? This calls for pictures!

    I intend to carve pumpkins every year, does that count?

    Here’s my 13! http://jenanddavin.blogspot.com/

    How brave of you to shave your head! I don’t know if I could ever do that. I’ll have to think about the pumpkin thing. I hate the insides of pumpkins. I wish the came ‘pre-cleaned’ so I could just carve/decorate. Here’s my 13.

    I wanna see the short haircut too.

    (I don’t have time to do all the linking of 13’s on my site so I’m glad Leanne is the center of the wheel. Thanks Leanne.)

    Good luck on your CT scan today!

    I also hate Halloween. My kids are getting old enough to where I can almost get out of the entire holiday. A few more years and I’ll be done! lol

    Your website is great! I’ll be back to look around more!

    I did my first TT today…

    Hi Leanne,

    I’m playing this week for the first time. Such a cool idea! Thanks!! πŸ˜€
    Here’s mine.

    We’ll be carving here, though probably not til next weekend. I am not sure how to handle the whole begging thing. My son isn’t yet 2, so he’s not getting any candy anyway. We may just walk around and say hi to the neighbors with his giraffe suit on. And then there’s Christmas… GreedFest as my husband calls it.

    Hi Leanne, a little late today with my list but at least it’s here. Come visit. I hope your test goes well and no, it isn’t fun. It sucks pond water through a pink straw.

    I’ll post my punkin over the weekend.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Shaving your head? Pretty brave thing to do. I’ve cut mine pretty short before, but never shaved it. Not sure I could be that brave!:cheerful:

    Hi there, I’m up with my thirteen and cannot link for the life of me in a comment section. And I’m in for the pumpkin carving but cannot do it until next week, the squirrels eat them if we put them out too early.

    I’ve never quite understood your hatred of Halloween. I generally don’t like holidays at all, I find them stressfull, but not Halloween. It’s not encouraging your children to beg. If people don’t want to give them something they will leave their porch light off! Let them be kids and have some fun. If you really want to have fun you should boo! someone before Halloween. You fill a plastic pumpkin with goodies and a Boo! sign and instructions for them to follow. Leave it on their doorstep, hit the doorbell and run! Then they put up the boo! sign on their door and do it to someone else. Its fun to watch it spread through the neighborhood. Hope all went well today, call soon. :friends: clara

    I still carve pumpkins. I love Halloween. I love dressing my three kids up. I think it is so fun. I hope your CT scan went okay. That doesn’t sound like fun. Here is my link to the 13… http://multiplemania.blogspot.com/2005/10/thursday-thirteen_20.html
