Thirteen Things that are on my mind lately
1. daisies: I'm not sure why, maybe because my secret blogger liked them and I tried to design her gifts around them.
2. photography: what lenses should I have, what flash should I buy (think I figured that out today), what lighting setup should I have, etc., etc., on and on and on. If anyone would care to mentor me, please do!
3. mortality. D'uh.
4. Now that it's stopped raining, the bees are back. I HATE the bees!
5. martinis!
6. Friendship.
7. Invasion: Why wasn't it renewed? Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
8. Seeing the girls this weekend, i.e., back to NY (upstate, but not as far upstate as last time lol)
9. Office politics. Oh wait, that comes under work, doesn't it...oh well, sue me...or don't, mmmkay?
10. Why do some women have a need to criticize other women in order to make themselves feel better? I've critisized to be snarky or funny...but not to make myself feel better.
11. I learned something today that partially solves something I've been wondering about for awhile (sorry to be so obtuse, but I'm writing a post on this in the near future).
12. I have a Leo friend that I'm worried about and I found out today that this can be a tough time for her: "everyone with Leo Sun, Leo Ascendant/Rising Sign, Leo Moon or a strong Leo signature in their chart is really being being put to the test regarding their relationships. It is their chance to change and grow ... OR to refuse to take on the growth lessons they need and stay stuck or get left behind or cut out anyone and anything that reminds them of the lesson they don't really want to deal with."
13. When will I get to visit Paris, Hawaii, Scotland and most of all Japan, again?

I hate bees too.
What is a secret blogger and how does she give you gifts????
My 13 are up.
What do you mean Invasion hasn't ben renewed????? They can't do that to me! UGH!!
Great list...and martinis are on my mind too! ;)
Happy Thursday! My TT is up!
Scotland sounds wonderful! I'm ready to go. (Well except for that issue regarding having money to go.) Oh well, maybe in another life. Great TT. -Mix
Invasion was not picked up again NOOOOOOOOOOOO I didn't know that doh.
Happy TT day.
I like the martini header graphic... hehe all those little martinis flying around.
interesting stuff on your mind, can't wait to hear more!
Great list, but Margaritas for me.
i like daisies too!
my T13 is up too
I find thinking about photography helps me take my mind off the other less desireable thoughts. Fun way to distract. YIKES! I hate office politics and critical women. Sigh...
Who can stop thinking about martinis. Or daquaris. :)
And I should go back and add #14, smells good. :)
ugh....well you KNOW how I feel about bees!! EEEEEEKKKKKKK
I dont know what to tell you on the traveling....all I know is I was SUPPOSED to be a professional traveler when I grew up.....
2 things happened (or didnt happen). I never became a professional traveler....AND I never grew up! so there ya go....
Daisies are pretty cool....course I've liked them more since You've Got Mail when Meg Ryan's character goes on and on about how she loves daisies.
The bees are indeed crazy. We have a tree that just bloomed this week...flowers all over it...and it was swarming with big fat bumblebees yesterday. Made me shiver.
Very thought provoking list. I too think about mortality often.
My T T is up
Martinis are great! I've been asking my self the same question about Paris. I can't wait to go back!
Great TT.
My mother is one of those people who has to criticize other women to make herself feel better. She's been doing it to me since I was a young child. My TT is up.
I thought you meant the invasion of Iraq and I was scratching my head. I've never even heard of that show, but I was sad that West Wing got cancelled.
I got a new camera for my birthday...a Sony cypershot. So hopefully I won't have to carry 2 cameras around now...my cheapo digital and my regular one.
You have an interesting mind...I can tell by the things you think about!
Mine should have a birdsong soundtrack.
Well. I'm a Leo. That doesn't sound too promising. I think I have to go take a personal inventory now. ;)
I've never had a martini! Isn't that sad?
We've had so much rain lately. Ugh. It's supposed to rain here again, any minute!
WHAT? Invasion wasn't renewed???!!! NOoooooooooo!
The warm weather brings mosquitoes to us, I can do without them!Hope you can visit those places again soon! happy TT, mine is posted :)
I hope you get to visit all those places again...
And as for your Leo friend...a Leo here and we are strong...and stubborn..so she'll be ok.
you know, I liked Invasion, and then just got out of it. I saw the last 5 minutes of it last night. I have studio lights- if you get them figured out, let me know! also, I want a macro lens, any suggestions?
#10 - no doubt! I hate it when girls do this, I'm snarky too, but not MEAN!!
Mine are up!
Oh man, I too am afraid of bees! of course, being allergic to the sting, that puts a great deal of fear in me!....My TT is up, please visit
It's rained so much I am frigging waterlogged!
I love astrology. Where did you get that Leo info from?
LOL! As a Leo that is so true where I'm concerned. Where did you get that? my horoscopes a blah..and doesn't say much.
Those are good things to think about! Great 13. Mine is up too. :)
Mentor you?! You crack me up. You have one of those wicked cameras, if I recall, I think you should just buy all the stuff that goes with it (on a timetable, of course), and just get to know it. Figure out what you like and don't like. It would be like another artist telling me what paintbrushes to paint with. I like a certain kind, and I do it a certain way. Photography is just another medium. :)
Bees. Flies. Little bitey gnats. On Jeapordy that would be "Things about summer that are BAD."
Have a great weekend!!
I'm a Leo sun sign with Leo in Mars(career). My rising is Cancer. I have definitely been going through "enormous" changes, and I'm moving through them and accepting them; it's very hard. It is a very intense period. I'm copying and pasting this forecast to notepad. Trippy! :)
