Thursday Thirteen - 142nd Edition

Welcome to the 142nd edition of Thursday Thirteen!

It’s Thursday Thirteen time again. This is the first week of our “THEME” editions. Remember, last week, in order to get ready for vacation time, we asked you to write about thirteen places you’ve visited that you’d recommend. Let’s read each other’s T13 posts and see all the wonderful places that people have visited.

(And if you posted on another theme, that’s okay. We want to read your T13 post, too! :-))

Next week’s theme: Next week is alphabet week. Choose a letter of the alphabet and write thirteen words that describe you that begin with that letter. Be creative and have fun!

Now - on with this week’s reading!

    • Please leave the link to your Thursday Thirteen in comments.
    • Its also helpful if you leave your edition number.
    • Then visit as many Thirteeners as you can. Help spread the T13 love!
    • Please make sure that you have the new blogroll on your page - many of you haven’t changed your blogroll!!

    Also be sure to check out the Thursday Thirteen Forum to learn about all things T13, and then look through our CafePress shop for great Thursday Thirteen items for yourself and for gifts.

    Look to the top left of the screen and visit this week’s featured blogs, too!

    Happy Thirteening!

The Pink Flamingo’s 69th Edition Thursday Thirteen is up and running. I am doing Thirteen additional TV Themes. I apologize if you are having problems loading. I have a hopped up MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles and ultra high speed DSL, so I don’t know how to trouble shoot the loading problems.
