Thurday’s Thirteen: 13 suggestions my Children (in college) gave for my TT

  • Posted on March 12, 2009 at 7:40 am
  1. t13-74Write thirteen things that make me Happy
  2. Write thirteen things that make me not so Happy, (My daughter didn’t want me to name thirteen things that piss me off. She is always politically correct.)
  3. Write thirteen things I want to do this Summer, (I did this last year when there was only a week left of Summer and I realized all the things I hadn’t done.)
  4. Write thirteen things I am grateful for.
  5. Write thirteen things I want to do before I die. A bucket list! (I love this idea and if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you should. It is really good. She is making a bucket list as well with one of her friends. Very cool!)

I know this is only 5 of 13 but, I haven’t heard from my son yet, he is still in bed asleep. He’s only had 24 hours to respond and he lives with me. My daughter and I talked on the phone last night and she immediately started rattling off what to write about. Now, in all fairness to my son, he did work late last night delivering Pizza so…we may have to wait until next week for his suggestions. I may have to come up with the rest of the ideas for this week.

Here is what I came up with:

  1. Write thirteen things I love about being over 50!
  2. Write thirteen things I hate about being over 50!
  3. Write thirteen things I love about your son.
  4. Write thirteen things I love about your daughter.
  5. Write thirteen of my favorite deserts.
  6. Write thirteen of my favorite main dishes.
  7. Write thirteen things I love about owning a dog.
  8. Write thirteen things I hate about owning a dog.

  4. STAMPING. Rubber, clear, acrylic, funny, funky, crazy, embossing.
  5. STICKERS. 3D, frilly, funky, funny, letters, words, flowers, fonts.
  6. CHIPBOARD. Grunge board, decorated, painted, paper glued on, trimmed.
  7. COLORING. Pencils, pens, painter pens, crayons, watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, inking, ink dabbers.
  8. BLING. glitter, gems, charms.
  9. ADHESIVE. Glue Sticks, Herma Tabs, mega and mini dots, Dotto’s, double-sided tape, strips.
  10. JOURNALING. Record-keeping, writing, poetry, quotes, history, memories recorded.
  11. ARCHIVING. Preserving for future generations.
  12. SHOPPING. New stuff, new stash, new cute fun items that we must have NOW!
  13. CROPPING. Friendships, sharing ideas, finishing pages, getting things done and have fun.
