1. I got my reviews of two books posted finally. The Amnesia Clinic and Finn have stayed with me.
2. I am reading The Camel Bookmobile right now. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I love this line though:
“If I have to stay my whole life here, without experiencing there, I’ll evaporate.”
Isn’t that a great line?
3. After this I have The Thief of Time, A Few Demons More and Then We Came to The End to read.
4. Melinda is so going to win.Updated to add: Wahhhhh….she was booted off. Now I think Jordin will win but I am always wrong about this show. I thought Katherine McPhee should have won last year. I think Melinda has a bright future ahead of her.
5. I finally gave in and bought DVR. I have resisted for years. But, now that I am working constantly I want to watch my escape TV: General Hospital.
6. We also gave in and got the kids a cell phone. Only to be used for events. The girls went to Boston w. their class Tuesday and we were happy they had a phone. In a few weeks my son goes on the Mystery Trip.
7. Next Weds. is my FIFTEENTH wedding anniversary. HOLY COW! I think we are just going to dinner. Hopefully where the patrons have manners.
8. I am sure posting three long posts in one day means that some of them won’t get read. But, I just had to get them out there.
9. Leanne put slimstat on my blog. Now I can spy on the people who come and don’t leave a comment. I am watching you.
10. I got nothing else. EEK! How about some pictures, instead.
12. Tulip outside my office:
13. That’s all I got. Have a great weekend.
The purpose of Thursday Thirteen is to meet new friends and spread comment love. Go over to all things Thirteen to see who is playing.

Oh, such pretty flowers. And your blog! It’s gorgeous! This is more what I want mine looking like, eventually. For now it’s a blah pale blue.
I love slimstat! And if you like stuff like that, try google analytics. Pie graphs!
You’re quite the busy bee! Thank you for the reading tips. And what a beautiful flower pics, wow!
Thanks for visiting my detective TT!
I agree, goreous blog and what a nice post! thanks for the smile
Holy cats, what a *beautiful* blog you’ve got! I love it, love it. And thanks for a great TT list!
Happy Thursday Thirteening.
Those flowers are beautiful! Congratulations on your 15th! Have a great week!
Gorgeous photographs! Happy Anniversary. DH and I are coming up on #12 in a few weeks.
How is the DVR? We keep talking about getting one.
Those pics are gorgeous! Happy TT
How is the DVR?
Gorgeous pics! Happy TT
Love the lovely flowers. But I must disagree. Jordin is going to win. (It’s only 7:00 CST, so the show hasn’t aired yet. If I’m wrong, I promise I won’t come back and delete.)
The pictures are beautiful! And congratulations on your anniversary! I’ll be celebrating my 11th this summer. It’s amazing how fast the time has gone by.
Congrats on the 15th anniversary. It’s my fifth this October, we’re going to Algonquin Park to a beautiful couples resort. My first night away from the kids. EEP.
Great TT!! thanks for dropping by mine.
1. Love your new blog look.
2. You’ve got me beat on the anniversary years….it’s going on 14 for me!
3. Love Kim Harrison. Heard the latest has a sad ending.
4. Adore my DVR. Absolutely LOVE it.
5. Tulips are my favorite flowers; particularly peach colored.
That really is a great line. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the book when you’re finished.
Happy Anniversary. Mine is actually tomorrow, 13 years. Time flies by, doesn’t it?
Btw, the pictures of the flowers are gorgeous. Love the colors.
Happy TT.
Am I wearing clothes?
Yay, lots of stuff!

Okay first of all, wonderful pictures. Secondly that’s a great line - I can relate to that feeling.
How do you like the DVR. I want one, but I want a lot of stuff…
Happy Anniversary!
And enjoy the slimstat. I was a bit addicted to my stat counter for awhile.
Happy TT!
Well my marriage to typepad just got anulled. I don’t know whether to celebrate or be sad. I feel like my blog is turning into HAL!
It looks great over here, but I don’t know how you find the time to read so much.
I’m reading a Few Demons More now! It’s surprisingly slow for me.
Happy Thursday.
Hello there! Just found your blog through BookGirl and had to pop over for a read.
I LOVE my DVR. In fact, it’s about 70% full right now, which is disgraceful given the huge hard drive in the thing. But, what can I say, I like to let House MD pile up.
Love your blog. I’ll be back!
Flower photos catch my eyes! Congrats on your 15th. I still have a long way to go. Happy TT!
I just love such random TT lists. Have to try that myself one of these days. ;o)
Congrats on the anniversary!
Are you an astrologer too….noticed the astrology links on your sidebar? Happy TT and congrats on your anniversary!
Given #9 I’d better leave a comment then
Completely meaningless but it is a comment
No sense at all
Just like me really
General Hospital is my own guilty pleasure too! When I went on stress leave last year I got hooked on it …
Thanks for stopping by. and Happy TT!
Congrats on the Anniversary! Nice save withg the photos - i gotta remember that one!
WTG on the DVR and the anniversary actually. I was shocked by Melinda, but not totally shocked, but its just something I can’t put my finger on with her. Ohhh more books.
Happy Anniversary!
Go ahead and “spy” on me even if I am commenting. *heh* (I’m in a Puppy Linux “live cd” session on a computer I don’t ordinarily use, anyway…
)
Nice 13. Love the pic fills at the end, too.
DVR will change your life!!! My kids say, “Have you seen such-and-such commercial?” and I say, “Nope…never watch commercials!” Someone says, “What night is such-and-such on?” and I say, “I have no idea, never watch shows when they are actually on!”
As for giving in on the cell phones…give some consideration to getting some kind of text message plan. My 13 year old daughter had to fork over $100 of her hard-earned babysitting money one month due to text messaging charges. Then we got the unlimited text messaging and it’s fine. The kids her age don’t yack on the phone like I do….they text.
I think the best singers always get booted from Idol. The only exception is Kelly Clarkson
I love to visit readers. So inspiring. Do you mean Amnesia instead of Amensia?
Happy 13! What is slimstat?
Congrats on your anniversary!
And thanks for the tip on CA-credits, I’ll be looking it over before the next TT
Those flowers are so purty!
So is the Camel Bookmobile not what you were expecting? Can’t wait to hear more about it.
Happy Anniversary! The pics are gorgeous.
Big night tonight for Grey’s Anatomy!! I can’t wait to see the wedding!! ahhhhhh!! I can’t WAIT!!! LOL..
You’re right about Melinda, she has an incredible voice and I predict she’ll be around a long time. I think Jordin will win, also.
Buying cell phones for my girls was one of the best things we ever did. It was so hard to keep track of them during the day! I found it a huge peace of mind, especially when they went on field trips and overnight sleepovers, etc.
Loved your flower pics.. just beautiful!
I was sad about Melinda, too, but in many ways, she’s better off free from Fox servitude!
Congrats on #7! Very pretty flowers too!
I love my DVR. It’s one of the best inventions known to man!
