Trying to Catch Up: Thursday Thirteen

I've been blogging for a couple of months now
Next week I'm going to think of things to write here through-out the week
I fixed the comments on my blog, no problem leaving a comment now
My umbrella broke in the monsoon rain and wind we had the other day
I back-dated this post so it would look like I posted it on Thursday
I worked from home today, I got more done with no interruptions
I have a Sarbanes-Oxley audit at work next week
A good friend dropped by tonight for a visit
I bought the book Cold Mountain
I didn't leave the house today
This is my first Thursday Thirteen
I used to knit
I once won a hula hoop contest

Dawn said...: Well, you can't used to knit. :) Get out those needles and be cool like the rest of us. :); 11/12/05 5:55 AM
Better Safe Than Sorry said...: hey, just dropping in to check out your 13 too!
i need to learn to knit, i have issues, i'm left handed, i need someone left handed to show me. a right handed person tried to teach me, but the way you hold the needles isn't they way i need to hold them. i could knit a very very long scarf, but that's about it, i want slippers, mittens and socks!; 11/12/05 8:17 AM
Carolyn said...: I like the way you think -- I did the same thing. I just found TT yesterday, but I backdated it so it looked like I did it on Thursday. And, as I'm reading some of the other 13 lists, I realize that maybe having a theme each week is the way to go -- need to jot down some of those ideas that pop in to my head for a theme before I forget them.

My list is here: http://www.myprairierose.com/CarolynsComments; 11/12/05 9:21 AM
Jessica said...: Hi Barbara - Thanks for visiting. I'm with Dawn on the knitting thing. It's kind of like riding a bicycle - you never really forget. I love knitting. Welcome to the TT club and the blogosphere!; 11/12/05 10:32 AM
Jen said...: Wow, that's a bad time for an umbrella to break!

Why did you stop knitting? Is there a story behind that?

I backdate posts sometimes, too!

Here's my 13 http://jenanddavin.blogspot.com/ I'll go link to you now!; 11/12/05 11:07 AM
Karin said...: I'm so jealous that you actually have time to read! lol
You'll have to tell us if the book is better than the movie.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!; 11/12/05 11:18 AM
Craig said...: You have my sympathy. I'm in IT as well and SOX is one of the biggest pains.; 11/12/05 11:44 AM

SquashedToad said...: Hi Barbara! Thanks for signing my 13. I"ve never really been too good at knitting. I seem to always loose stitches along the way. :D

Here's my 13; 11/12/05 12:18 PM
Leanne said...: I tried to hula hoop this summer and kept it going for about 20 seconds. How anyone could win a contest at it is impressive to me!

Thanks for joining in on the TT's!; 11/12/05 3:18 PM
colleen said...: I don't know how to backdate...but can hoola hoop pretty good! Thanks for visiting my 13 thursdays.; 11/12/05 5:53 PM
Heather said...: Thanks for coming by! The movie traumatized me so bad that I don't think I could read "Cold Mountain."; 11/12/05 8:24 PM
catherine said...: I 'used to' knit, too. I hope to get back to it after Nanowrimo. I have an unfinished sweater for me.
Welcome to Thursday Thirteen. I'll link you.; 11/12/05 11:27 PM
terrilynn said...: I've never backdated but I often write my TT on Wednesday and set it to post on Thursday.

Along with Leanne, I wonder how anybody can hula-hoop long enough to win a contest, but I'll bet it was very funny.; 11/13/05 8:17 AM
