No Thursday Thirteen--Lany

I was going to do one on thirteen reasons why I hate a cold but LOL I can't even bring enough mind power to do that. Suffice it to say I hate sneezing, I hate runny noses, I hate chills, I hate tiredness, I hate coughing, and I hate that my mind feels like it is gummed up with cheese. I know I am lucky it's not more serious, it is a just a cold but wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Regular TT will return next week

Thirteen Random thoughts by Lany 1. The Preditors and Editors poll is ongoing. Go vote here. 2. Tess Gerritsen rocks. I just read Bloodstream. It took all of a day. 3. I'm now reading the third book in the Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series. Gotta love a book that says this might be what Buffy became if she grew up, got married, became a SAHM and still hunted. 4. Shallow Grave by Lori Armstrong was so excellent. I need to write her. *makes note to do that*. 5. Lego Star Wars is a cute game, but I'm not very good. It's bad when your 8 year old tells you that. 6. Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage is pretty good. We watched it last night. 7. I'm going on a lunch date tomorrow with the hubby. I love taking time away and doing things with him. 8. National Treasure 2 is pretty good, too. We saw it in the theater with the kids. It's a little intense at the end. I did miss a lot of the puzzles from the first one. I love Riley. And Ben. 9. The cat is not liking the cold weather. She's a laptop fan hog. And a lap hog. She even gets in the hubby's lap these days. 10. We have a big gymnastics meet this weekend to go watch. Last year we saw a beautiful shimmery, yellow leotard. Unfortunately, it was $50. We weren't even sure the youngest was going to stick with it at that point so we didn't buy it. I have been looking for that leotard since last summer and haven't been able to find it. There better be a vendor with something similar at this meet. Or my name will be mud again. 11. According to National Treasure 2, my name is mud came from a man accused of abetting John Wilkes Booth. But some sources say its origins are earlier than that. 12. I need to be writing! 70 days of Sweat is almost over and I need to get a submission into my editor. Ack! 13. It isn't pleasant to wake up to a dog's cold nose on your foot.
