Thirteen Things I love that begin with the letter Z

Would you look at this! I fulfilled a challenge to myself, and worked my way thru the alphabet, from A to Z in the Thursday Thirteens! How many of you noticed? How many of you are trying this yourselves? Good luck!
1. Zephyr: I had zephyr gnocchi last weekend, i.e., airy and light. And oooh my was it delicious!
2. Zeus: The God of thunder! Do you ever picture him “up there” hurling down lighting bolts?
3. Zeppelin: My favorite band, took me more than 35 years to appreciate them!
4. Zig-Zag: That’s usually how I walk, zigging here, zagging there. I wasn’t born under the sign of Cancer the Crab for nothing! We won’t talk about the other definition of zig-zags, will we, Megan the Elder?
5. Zodiac: Speaking of zodiac signs, I’ve always had more than a passing interest in this. My grandmother had an old, thick book that she could chart horoscopes with. It’s around here somewhere. I always thought it was pretty funny that for a water sign I had so many fire planets! Steamy!
6. Zinnias: Aren’t they such a pretty flower? All sorts of colors, what’s not to like!
7. Zinfandel wine: Before I acquired a taste for red wine, I liked white zin…LOL!
9. Zoot: One of the bloggers I’ve read since I started blogging, she shares my love of Harry Potter and she’s got the wicked coolest curly hair!
10. Zinger: “A witty, often caustic remark.” or “A sudden shock, revelation, or turn of events.”; I’ve more than a passing familiarity with both!
11. Zip Cars: A great idea for city dwellers, it’s a car sharing service where you can use a car by the hour or day without the hassles of owning or renting a car.
12. Zombies: One of my favorite scary movie creatures! Have you ever seen Shawn of the Dead? Freakin’ hysterical, but still a bit scary!
13. Zappa: Frank and MoonUnit, in particular, always intrigued me. One of my fav Frank Zappa songs is Montana:
I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss Raisin’ it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
and who can forget his song, Valley Girl, featuring his daughter, Moon, talking in Valleyspeak

Today my prompt over at Photo Thursday at Create a Connection is appropriate for my last time hosting in the month of August!

This week, I’d like to see you post a picture of a “goodbye”, a fond “farewell” or even better, an enthusiastic “see you later”! This could be a wave, a sign, a kiss, running away from the camera, any one of many things! Have fun with this!

Sailing away into the night, saying goodbye to the island we just visited!

Here’s last Wednesday’s picture:

And this is what it was cropped from:

Someone holding some playing cards as viewed through a glass of bubbly!

That ANY of you could tell it was a hand or better yet, a finger, was amazing to me! I’m SO not good at these guessing games lol! And many of you DID guess it was a hand holding something, good for you!

DebR: “Ok, actually it looks to me like a hand holding something…a LUSH product maybe?…as seen in a foggy, water-droplet-splattered mirror.“.

MissMeliss: “Well, it looks like someone holding a bath scrubby or some such, as viewed through glass or in a mirror.“.

Jack: “A hand in ice.“.

Shirley: “It’s a finger holding a caterpiller, as viewed by someone who’s had a few too many drinks.“.

My cousin, Mel: “This is an easy one… It’s Snape’s hand holding a bath sponge as he washes your back. What a bath that must have been! LOL!!“.

My GOOD friend MaryEllen: “It’s my claw hand coming out of the grave to get you. Cause I don’t care, you marry my son and I’ll kill you even AFTER you do it over my dead body.” (she’s SERIOUS y’all!!!).

RacerX said: “It looks like a hand that is just being pushed underwater causing bubbles.“.

Indigo: “Michele sent me, and I think that’s someone’s finger behind a shower door.“.

ScaryLoo: “Its a ghost holding a baby’s finger“.

Monique: “its the smudge of Capt. Jack’s thumb on your steamy bathroom mirror… or perhaps the steamy mirrored headboard of your bed?“.

As always, thanks for playing! By the way, all photos used in What Is It Wednesday are marked as “private” in my flickr account…that’s so no one can view the picture at a bigger size to get a better look!

So this week…

What is it?

Your Life Path Number is 5

Your purpose in life is to live freely and collect experiences. You love life – new adventures, new people, new ideas. [true] You are very curious, and you crave novelty in all forms. [lol true] You tend to make friends easily, and you enjoy the company of all types of people. [sometimes] In love, you are fun and even a bit intoxicating. But you won’t stick around for long. [first part, am I? second part ... I don't think so, but...] You are impulsive and spontaneous – which sometimes leads you to do things you regret. [first part yes, second part-no regrets] Sometimes you can be overindulgent with food, sex, or drugs. [heh, yes] You have many talents, so many that you are often scattered and unfocused. [is that the reason?]

What do you all think of this? Sound like me, doesn’t sound like me?
