Thursday Thirteen: #2 — 13 Random Things on a Hot Day

Filed in Blog

I'm glad we're not at the storage shed today. It may be 90 here, but it's 100 there.
None of the copious amounts of water I have put in my body today has come out in the usual digestive sense.
I haven't seen any cats all day–not the inside ones, not the outside ones. They must have melted.
It is not a good day to have run out of ice cream.
T-shirts soaked in water make a good cooler.
T-shirts soaked in water really make one wince for the first few seconds.
Sometimes, cold showers are nice.
Lying on the sofa doing nothing seems appropriate.
Data entry for Markeroni is about the level of my brain right now. Consequently, Denver is done.
It's a good job I spoke to the bank, who charged me $4 for the privilege of using a “foreign” atm, in the morning before it got too hot.
Oh, so that's where the cats are. (One just crawled out of the closet and collapsed in my doorway. The journey of ten steps ends with a single flop.)
Everything is sticky.
I can haz ice cream?

I’m brand new on the Thursday 13, so I was checking some of the other 13ers out. #3 made me laugh. I have cats. But since I live in Vancouver, BC, they don’t melt much.

Hi OpenChannel! Yeah, I suspect that Vancouver has a similar kind of climate to my homeland, England. A few stifling days, but overall…not.

My husband and I are owned by two disapproving cats: http://theaccidentalnovelist.blogspot.com/2007/05/disapproving-cats.html

I just read more of your bio. I used to have a lovely red Yamaha YX600 Radian. I had to sell it (for several reasons).

I actually know where Livermore is. I grew up in Concord, CA. I moved to Canada 4 years ago when I married a Canadian.

I was in London for the first time over the holidays and loved it. Loved it, loved it.

I am also a huge fan of landmark-snarfing, although I had never heard it called that. I’m glad to know. Alas, I haven’t been on a road trip in over a year. I’m overdue.

I have decided that you rock.

So, come on down to Markeroni :-)

That’s cool to have a few things in common. As for me, I love the disapproving cats and bunnies. Have you noticed how cat noses look like bunny noses from certain angles? It must be a conspiracy.

And as for the rest…aww, shucks. :: shuffles feet ::
