13 Teenager Words
My kids tell me these are in current teenager nomenclature. It’s on my mind because it comes up in Suzie’s House episodes. 1. Lejit = legitimate, ie: No, really, it’s legit 2. Bro = way to address a friend 3. Ermahgerd = OMG 4. Totes = totally 5. Meme = jokes on Facebook 6. Swag = a brand of street clothing 7. Chill = cool 8. Javy = javelin used in historical reenactment games 9. Freaking = a swearword. No […]
Suzie’s House 295 : Across a Crowded Lunchroom
Emma felt a strange sense of strength and peace. It wasn’t just that she didn’t feel like she had to run to the bathroom. She hadn’t bit her nails all day either. Usually by the end of first period the tips of her fingers hurt from making the nails too shot. Instead, she actually made eye contact with the teacher, and maybe a couple of other people. She felt great.
13 Things on my Desk

13 From 2012
. At the end of 2011 I made 13 predictions. Let’s see how I did. 1. Someone somewhere is going to starve. Too obvious? Ok, it’ll be someone in the USA that makes the national news. Not that I know of. 2. There will be some unpleasantly record-breaking weather. Does Sandy count? 3. A hurricane will reach into some part of the Midwest. Maybe not Kansas, but at least Illinois. Again, does Sandy count?
13 For the End of the World
Apparently the Mayan calendar ends tomorrow (Friday). This is supposed to be the end of the world. Having lived through Y2K, the Harmonic Convergence, and a wide variety of ascensions, I’m not really in the mood to do anything for it. However, it did occur to me that if the world really did end, I’d probably miss a few things. Like these: 1. Christmas lights reflected off new snow as viewed while holding my dh’s hand. 2. Attending a rock […]
13 Gifts
If anyone in my family happens to be reading this *eh-hem*, here’s a suggestion list. 😀 1. A cheap mixer. I’m talking the little handheld type whose motors I keep burning out. Yes, I go through them fast. No, I don’t want the big ones. I just burn out the big motors, too. 2. A new laptop. (Hey, I can dream, right?) 3. A new furnace. (Yep, still dreaming) 4. A coupon to Lowes. Seems I’m still going over there […]
13 Things I Might Not Get Done
“Tis the season, but you’d never know it from my household. I’m not the only one who just isn’t into the season. No one else in the house is interested either. What I haven’t gotten done so far; 1. Put up decorations. It isn’t looking good for this year. They are still all out in the storage unit, and no one has expressed any interest in going to get them.
13 Mountains
A friend recently asked if she could swipe a picture of mountains from my blog. Gosh, I wonder why she’d think of lil old me. 😀 Since she’s willing to give me credit, I’m all for it. Maybe one of these? 1.
13 Trips to the Cellar
I’m cooking right now. So far these are all the things I’ve had to go into the cellar, or the store, to get. 1. A can of crab meat. Ended up at the store for this one. 2. Cooking oil 3. Nuts 4. Baking powder 5. Baking powder. Yes, again. I couldn’t believe I really honestly didn’t have any in the house. 6. Cream of tartar, because I was in no mood to go back to the store when I’d […]
13 Button Images
If you look over on the left sidebar toward the top you will see a grab it button. This is a widget you can put on your own blog that will show the image I have up and link back to my blog. I have several I grabbed from other people’s blogs on my right hand sidebar if you scroll down a bit. What’s cool about mine is that the image changes every so often. People who grab the button […]
13 Political Quotes

13 Albums
I’ve been shopping for music. I’m not the kind to get individual songs. I prefer albums for all kinds of reasons. Turns out you can listen to a lot of different albums on Youtube. It gives a much, much better preview than those lousy samples sellers usually offer. Here are 13 albums I previewed on Youtube. 1.
13 Pictures of Flowers
I’m still not ready to say good bye to summer. There is still a lot I’d like to do – like paint the exterior of the house – that require warm weather. But the trees are all turning, so I guess I better accept that Fall is here. As a send off, here are pictures I took of flowers over the course of Summer From around town: 1.
