Thursday 13
Come play along at the Thursday-13 Hq!
Right now! (borrowed from Dawn)
1. I am thinking…How irritating it is when I’m halfway through writing a blog post and my fingers hit a wrong combination of buttons. Grrrr!!!
2. I am thankful for…being able to enjoy the heck out of this summer!
3. From the kitchen…came an amazing basil and lemon scented roast chicken (ok, I used a bit of rosemary, salt & pepper, too).
4. I am wearing…a black top, yoga pants (yes at work) and flip flops (ditto)
5. I am creating…a life I dreamed of, full of people and love
6. I am going…to see my friend Pat this weekend…she & her husband and Dave & I are going to see the Doobie Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd Friday night!
7. I am reading…New Zealand with a Hobbit Botherer by Annette Gisby and ironically enough, I passed a car on the highway this morning with NH plates that said: HOBBITS !!!
8. I am hoping…this hurricane kind of avoids us…especially since the concert Friday is out of doors, and there’s a craft fair Saturday that I want to go to!
9. I am hearing…voices in my head…LOL! No, I’m not, I’m hearing my fingers on the keyboard, and assorted noises from coworkers…also a humming sound, machinery, not human.
10. Around the house…is some clutter…I’ve got a few boxes to go over to a friends for storage and a few boxes to fill with things for donation. (hahaha this is the same from the last time I wrote one of these! one of these days i’ll get rid of that stuff!!!)
11. One of my favorite things…is fresh summer fruits and vegetables, especially tomatoes and corn and cherries and watermelon!
12. I wish…that summer would last a lot longer, and fall would go on until spring…let’s just skip winter, please? Just a bit of snow on Christmas day then begone!
13. A picture to share…
Still always finding heart shapes!

Very nice list! I hope Irene misses you.

I always feel so uplifted and impressed when I read how your life is going these days!
Haha! I haven’t been paying much attention to the weather news and I just now read an email about a party being cancelled because the friend’s girlfriend “Irene” wouldn’t go along with it. I thought….I didn’t know so and so even had a girlfriend. And then I read this and thought for a split second, what a coincidence seeing the name Irene twice and then it dawned on me!

Shouldn’t you also be battening down the hatches before I Irene arrives?

Really beautiful post. I got all misty eyed at #5. Would you ever have believed as we were growing up, or in our early 20s that there would be a time we might say something liek “creating the life we want”…so many years after the age of 20!!! I don’t think I would have thought that way at the time…that life was about always learning and always growing and what changes and challenges and love and fun would lie so much in transformative qualities in my future.

I’m with you about revamping the seasons!
Hope you make it safely through the storm.

I hope you make it to the Craft Fair before the rain starts Saturday – go early and enjoy!

Even worse than being on the wrong keys… losing a whole damn post ~ I’d love to be in the black hole of lost posts, emails, lighters and socks when they someday re-appear! lol
Hey visit me, I need feedback

Regarding #12 on your list, I can’t believe how fast this summer is going. On the bright side, I’m glad football season is just around the corner.

#5 is my favorite!!! Creating a life you’ve dreamed of, well, I don’t see what can be better than that.
