Thursday Thirteen

By Laura on July 6, 2006


Thursday Thirteen – Strange Order

Since this is my first Thursday Thirteen, this edition will be about Order – lack of, sequence of events, birth order, food orders…

1. I have for years tried to get Burger King to give me a hot fudge cheeseburger with double onions. They won’t let me have it my way.
2. I met my both my husbands in bars. The first husband when I was 20, the second when I was 16.
3. The first time my second husband asked me to marry him, I said no. A week later I met my first husband, and three weeks after that I married him.
4. Most of my life I was the youngest child in the family. When I was in my early thirties my father and his wife adopted three children so now I’m a middle child.
5. I won’t graduate from college until after my daughter does.
6. My house is kind of a mess. It’s reasonably tidy, but I haven’t dusted in months.
7. I like to watch the extras on the DVD before the movie.
8. I love all the Law and Order TV shows because most of the time, justice is served. My kind of stories. I love Walker Texas Ranger for the same reason.
9. I only need to bill an hour a day to have a profitable month, but it takes quite a few hours of prep and/or followup to bill that one hour.
10. I have read the whole bible, but never straight through. I tried once, and got about halfway.
11. I am very bossy and will order people around given the opportunity. But if they do as I ask, it always surprises me.
12. When I start projects, I actually read the instructions, lay out tools, supplies and equipment, then start.
13. When I go to the range, my primary goal is to shoot a smilie face clockwise. Left eye, right eye, then the mouth from right to left. Why? No special reason other than it seems like a really good accuracy test.

    Hi Laura, Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my TT list. I have been to many classical concerts. I lived in Dallas for most of my life and had many opportunities. I have seen some of the greatest pianists alive. I have also performed in the chorus for The Messiah and other great choral works. My dad was a member of the Dallas Symphony Chorus for 12 years and also in the Dallas Met Opera for 2 seasons. I went to most of his performances too. I really liked your TT list. It was funny and informative…great combination! Happy TT!

    That is such an interesting T13. It has encouraged me to try to find 13 interesting facts about myself before next thursday. And hey, great shots at the shooting range. My husband and I went once but I was scared and shot with my eyes closed (I did hit more than I missed)!

    Just to be clear: I’m not successful at shooting the smilie face yet. But I keep trying! I do keep my target shots nicely grouped with about half in the 10, and the rest in the 9 and 8 rings, though, so hopefully that smilie face isn’t too far off. :-)

    Burger King has probably lost a lot of business over not having a hot fudge cheeseburger. :) With #12, you are almost in a class of your own, I am sure. It’s out of character for most of us to follow instructions to the ‘T’. It’s our nature to try and do everything without help. :) Great list!
