Thirteen Random Thoughts

1/11/2012

Ciao a tutti! It's Thursday, which means I'm bringing you yet another edition of the Thursday Thirteen. However, since today is a holiday and a day off, I'm having to throw together a quick list before heading over to the in-law's for lunch.

So, please, allow me to share with you:

Thirteen Random Thoughts

Venus in Snuggly.

1) I love my "blanket with sleeves". LOVE IT!!!! Soft and snuggly and warm - perfect for watching TV, and possibly also for sitting at my desk and writing. I'll find out soon, I think.

2) Lunch at my father-in-law's house today. I hope I haven't eaten too much for breakfast. Photos *may* follow this afternoon.

GHOOOOST KIIIIIIIITEEEEHHHHHH!!!

3) As usual, I do believe my kitty is trying to kill me. And then snuggle.
But she can't have my snuggly blanket. Sorry. Not happening.

4) I just couldn't find any enthusiasm for Halloween this year. None. Which is unlike me. I just felt "meh" about it.

*Not* a photo from last night, but the only one I had on hand.

5) However, as my hubby returned from our Wednesday dinner out, I was profoundly moved by the beauty of the rain.

6) I'm trying to figure out if my current WiP - not the cycling story, but a new novella featuring Davide from Ask Me if I'm Happy - can have a somewhat upbeat ending. It's not looking that way.

7) Images like this make me smile, every time.

8) I've been homesick a lot, lately. Autumn is hard time to be away from the part of the US where I live, because the colors can be spectacular. Since Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons, that makes it even harder to be away.

More comfortable than it looks.

9) I wish I could have ridden longer on the bike, yesterday. Alas, I only managed 45 minutes.

Must improve!

10) Am I the only person/writer left on earth who isn't obsessed with drinking alcohol? Sometimes I feel like I'm going to scream if I hear the term "Wine o'clock" once again. If it were just a couple of people saying it, I don't think it'd bother me - but I hear it constantly and it's making me crazy!

11) Pictures like this make me happy.

ECSTATIC, I say!

12) Pictures like this make me ecstatic!

I fell in love at first sight. Can you blame me?

13) But this photo is the one which makes/made me happiest of all.

And so, there we go: Thirteen fairly Random thoughts.

Posted as they came to me.

As was this one!

Ciao for now!

That's my kitty - wants me dead one moment, wants me filling her food dish the next.

As long as I keep her hungry, I'll live - until she decides to eat me. Then all bets are off.

LOL! I don't think any of us authors drink as much as we talk about it.
Love this TT Kim.

I sure hope not - otherwise, I don't know how they're getting so much work done! ;)

Glad you enjoyed it, hon!

I almost skipped Halloween entirely, and that's with my dd trying to throw a party and get into it.

I'm sure glad to know I'm not the only one, then. I've felt so out of it, lately!

I know, right? I love that thing! :) I reckoned you might appreciate the eye candy as well. Heh.

Love the rain photo--and the last one, of course. Hope you enjoyed your holiday luncheon!

Thank you, Heather. The luncheon was great fun, super lively and the time passed so quickly it was amazing! I hope your day was as enjoyable as mine was.

I always adore your pictures so much. And your snuggli ROCKS. I'm still working with slippers, a lap blanket, and fingerless gloves like a Victorian writer. ;)

You are NOT alone in not being a drinker. Even if I COULD drink, which I can't thanks to medications I take, I got bored of it a long time ago. When I was younger I used to love to drink myself into oblivion, but when I hit my 30's I just got kind of bored of it. Occasionally (when not medicated) I might have a drink on a special occasion, but that's it.

Different strokes, I suppose...

Have a wonderful lunch, and watch out for those ghost kitties!

I haven't yet had a chance to try out the snuggly yet, but I'm going to as soon as it's cold enough, believe me.

And the thing is, I *do* drink, once in a while, but only a little bit when I do. Alcohol doesn't agree with me, so I'm not keen on it. And I have no problem with people who do enjoy alcohol, either. I just keep hearing it over and over and over, to the point it sounds like everyone's tippling but me.

Recently I've noticed a lot of the characters I'm reading having drinks every single day, getting drunk all the time (often losing control or waking with hangovers), and I'm finding a lot less sympathy for these characters as a result. It's just a case of overkill, though.

Wineoclock- I'm so out of it. I gotta use that on my sister.

I used to think it was pretty funny, but not so much any more. Burnout, perhaps? LOL! Let me know what your sister has to say when you use it, eh?
