Thursday Thirteen - 143rd Edition

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

PermalinkTrackback

Welcome to the 143rd edition of Thursday Thirteen!

This week’s theme is the alphabet. Last week we asked you to select a letter of the alphabet and use thirteen words that begin with that letter that describe you. How did you do? Let’s get busy reading everybody’s alphabet posts.

Next week will be our 144th edition. Since 144 is twelve dozen and equals a “gross”, next week will be our gross issue. Can you think of a gross Thursday Thirteen? Use any definition of “gross” to create your own unique Thursday Thirteen. After you post your own Thursday Thirteen, take a look at others and leave a comment nominating the one you think should win the “T13 Gross Award.” Comments will be ended at noon on Saturday, and the winner will be announced on Sunday. Put your thinking caps on and let’s see how many great gross T13’s we will have next week.

Now, on to this week’s Thursday Thirteen.

    • 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!

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!
