1. “Night-Night“: One of the most calming parts of my day is when these words are finally uttered by my kids. 2. “Lets go“: I love getting out of the house. 3. Lively music: Having waitressed for 11 years, I found myself driving to work with a scowl on my face way too often. Instead

Ever feel like you are the last human being around listening to some way out of date song that was rather questionable even in its prime? Needless to say I am beginning to think I am the queen of this movement. Worse yet, I don’t just enjoy one song from some of these obscure artists,

I’m not sure if bringing a third child into our home tripled the amount of stains we see, or if mom got tired of trying to prevent them when everything else got chaotic, either way stains have taken over the Riley home. As a result I am dedicating my Thursday Thirteen to a variety

I think it can pretty much be said without hesitation that I stink at keeping up with a blog. Further more I must apologize to the kind dedicated readers of mine who have sent messages inquiring where I have disappeared to. My only rather sad excuse is that I am currently buried under piles of

(Visit Boho Rhap for more TT Banners) One of the perks of having two kids in a relatively short time frame is that you get to use all of the goodies from the first one. This has come as an extreme advantage since our tiniest one is not so easily subdued most of the time.

(Shoot over to Boho Rhap for more AWESOME Thursday Thirteen Banners) They say that life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans. This should actually be the theme of my existence since most of the big events in my life, including my husband and two of my children, have happened on a whim

With so many new shows beginning this Fall, as well as older ones returning, I thought I would dedicate my Thursday Thirteen to the shows I am most anxious to get on (or back on) my Tivo list. 1. Bionic Woman: I watched the original of this with Lindsey Wagner growing up and am dying

For anyone out there that thinks that teachers are overpaid and that “those who can’t, teach”, here is my list of thirteen hoops I have to jump through (or already have) just in the pursuit to become a teacher. 1. Get an AA taking ugly general education courses as electives rather than fun foo foo

Very interesting! I am actually right-handed, but do most everything else with my left hand. Happy TT!

Since I commute, I often find myself cursing at other drivers as well.
I was a teenager when they 1st came out, so I didn’t get into The Garbage Pail Kids. I think I had some younger relatives who had the stickers. I found that they were funny and disgusting at the same time (The Garbage Pail Kids, not my younger relatives). Do you remember the Garbage Pail Kids movie they made? Part of me has wanted to see it, but I’m not sure if I could get through it without being repulsed. I wouldn’t be surprised if those stickers are worth some money.

I married my husband only knowing him for 45 days. We have been married for over 13 years now.
I so remember the Garabage pail kids. My mother couldn’t stand them.
Two of my children are left handed. Both my husband and myself are right handed…and we have found it very difficult to teach our lefty’s how to write.
Welcome to T13!
Great List!
Happy T13!

Hi Sarah!
I’m left handed, too, but do a lot of things with my right hand, as well. I was doing some reading about left-handedness awhile back and discovered that this is true of most people who consider themselves left handed. They say most people who say “I am left handed” are actually what they call “mixed handed”. Most right handed people are completely right handed, but there are very few completely left handed people. I thought that was pretty interesting!!
I still haven’t written my TT yet

Sarah, I’m really enjoying your writing – very witty. Love your random facts! We have a few things in common (not going to admit which ones though LOL) Thanks for visiting my blog. I’m off to answer your questions now

Nice new touches to the theme! You might even be one of those people who makes her own themes one day! I’ve always wanted to but it is just to tedious for me! Tweaking is my limit . . . for now!!! Anyway, it’s so cool to see you doing blog stuff.
I put in the navigation code at the bottom of your index.php file so it now has a “Previous posts” link. There was code already in the theme, but the way it was it wasn’t shoing for some reason. I just copied the snippet from WordPress’ “Default” theme (one of my old favorites) and it works like a charm! Have a great day! See you in the family room

Thanks everyone for stopping by and for your fun comments to my first Thursday 13.
Malcom: I never actually saw the movie, even though my mom bought me the cards, she drew the line somewhere, lol.
Suprina: When we were getting married we learned of so many people who had married pretty quickly and were surprised to learn how common it is.
Wendy, Cyndie, & Riley: What would your boy names have been? Probably better than Delbert, lol.
Rock Chick: I have never heard this, but it make a lot of sense. I have a friend who is genuinely left handed and is very eccentric like I have heard lefties should be. I was thinking that gene passed me by, but maybe I am just not really a full lefty after all.

I had no idea that you and hubby met online.

Rose: Yep, we met and chatted for a couple of weeks online and on the phone, but since our first face-to-face encounter was at the video store, sometimes in the first year we would tell people that was where we met, lol. Even though it was just 5 years ago, online dating was just branching out and hadn’t hit the major boom it has now become.

Sarah, I can’t stand those creatures either. Sarah has a nicer ring to it then Delbert and sounds much nicer with Damien.

Did the stirup pants. Have a few of those garbage kid stickers. And Delbert? Really? That is bizzare!

Robin: I forgot to mention, I reported the added grade
Mostly because I feared the mistake would be realized right before graduation and I wouldn’t get to walk with my friends.
Marcia & Carrie: I have to confess, Delbert was my grandfather’s name, so it makes since I suppose, but I am so glad I was born a girl

This was a fun list, I remember the stir-up pants. I had a pink pair that I would wear with a pink sweater, pink boots and songs slouched outside my boots. Oh I’m sure I looked hot(haha)
I loved the garbage pail kids
Thanks for stopping by my site earlier.
