1. My family and friends: Since I have such a small family, my friends really do become my family.
2. My dogs: I pink puffy heart both my dogs!
3. My cameras: I love taking pictures! They're not high quality arty shots, but really, I don't care.
4. My car: It's fast, cute and has a great sound system.
5. Mac and cheese: Kraft out of the box, baby, none better!
6. An ice cold beer: Especially on a hot summer's day
7. Coffee: The smell, the way little bubbles form at the top when you pour it into a mug or cup...yum!
8. My sense of humor...or maybe not LOL!
9. Money: It'd be nice to not need it, but hey, it provides me with mac & cheese and beer!
10. Toilet paper (just sayin'!)
11. My blog: I've met so many interesting people through my blog...some I've met in real life, some just through commenting and emails (Julie). Thanks for your comments, I really enjoy them!
12. Music: Speaking of music, I went to see Van Halen recently...and holy MOG were they GOOD! Eddie Van Halen, a guitar god, not quite up there with Page, but still damn good.
13. Johnny Depp ;-) Nuff said! Altho...I gotta say, I'm totally looking forward to the movie "Sweeney Todd" coming out this December...Depp & Rickman...ooh!

Janet, are you trying to kill me? It's not THURSDAY yet. I popped over here and had a small stroke because I thought I had blacked out and missed a NaBLoPoMo post.

I am thankful for all the things you are thinkful for.

I do not like coffee or beer (yeah, I am weird), but everything else would make me happy too! :)

Depp and Rickman...I did not know that.

HEART...thump thump....

My friends...since most of my family are insane, I recreated family with friends. Thank god. And blog friends.

I am loving these inspiring posts of your lately girlfriend!

And I am grateful for your sense of humour.

Saw the Sweeny Todd trailer the other night for the first time. It was the second play I ever did lighting for so I'm really looking forward to seeing this version.

Great TT :-)

mmm...a frosty cold beer on a hot summer's day.

great list

I'm with Chelle... Except for the beer and coffee I agree!
My TT lists 13 things about the black panther.

Nice list. Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.

Depp....AND Rickman....be still, my beating heart....

Six and 13 together would be a dream!

Janet, this list was perfect. I agree with most of them. Van Halen? Man, I Haven't heard them in a long time!

#6 & #7 are among the hardest things for me to give up during pregnancy. A good glass of wine, too!

Depp and Rickman do nothing for me (wrong sex!) but I am definitely with you on 9 and 10!

I can leave out the beer (substitute wine, scotch, vodka, anything but beer) but the rest of the list I can relate to.

Rich saw VH last Tuesday with 4th row seats or something like that. He loved it! He taped it on his cell but honestly, I couldn't understand it, because of Eddie's loud guitar...lol!

I missed the opportunity to see Van Halen and now I'm sorry. Every review has been glowing. (Thanks for visiting my TT)

I'm glad I met you, too. And yes, Eddie's a god. Definitely an inspiration.

Happy TT, babe!

I agree...I can't live without my camera! I LOVE pictures.

Nice list...I love your sense of humor too! Happy TT. (you are right eveyone is so positive this week...could it be the upcoming holiday?)

Great list, and equally great to put it down in writing.

I can tell you are a very upbeat, positive person. Excellent. Have a great TT. :)

Great list....family and friends are #1 in my book too....and money doesnt hurt either;) Happy TT.

The best thing about this Thanksgiving, is the Turkey Trot. We all get to LEAVE the house, see a bunch of friends, run, get the endorphins going so we can get through dinner. I'm with you.

I have two Thursday 13s this week, and yes, I am glad you have a sense of humor. We need it!!

Nice list, it's true that friends are just as important as family.

Here's to the first cup of coffee in the morning and a cold beer at night.

I'm sorry did you say coffee? Wait is there more on the list... Nope, I just see coffee! ;)

Well done! Happy TT!

Hey, coffee, humor, music and toliet paper all get my vote! (smile)

I agree with the money thing.

The Pink Flamingo

Oh I agree with you on the friends thing & especially on a nice cold beer ahh nothing beats a cold beer

Mac-n-cheese? Coffee? Yes, yes, yes.

Number 10 makes me laugh...13, yum!!!! ;)

LOL! Those are all very essential, except I'd have to add chocolate to my list. :D

Happy TT!

ermmm... ummmm...
I am right with you on some of those...
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

coffee and TP. Yeah, baby!

I'm with you on the blog and the camera... oh, and the toilet paper too, obviously!

LOL---:::blushing::: At first I read CAT...your cat has a great sound system...backtracking and I now know you typed caR!!! And around here, beer is one of the basic food groups!!!

You know, I am not a coffee or beer person...more a wine and hot tea girl. I am totally lookin' forward to the Depp Rickman movie with ya!

Mmm, mac and cheese. I like the homemade kind myself that you bake with four kinds of cheese and the big elbow macaroni.

What kind of car do you drive?

After doing that guilty pleasures meme, I'm still thinking about life's little quirky pleasures. I always wonder what makes us like certain things. Personal taste is pretty powerful. Can you imagine if there was no Mac cheese or beer?

Now I'm picturing you in a red car with the top down and your blond hair flying while listening to L.Z.

Amen to #6!

-HH

Ah, Jimmy Page - saw Led Zep several times in person.

Oh, and #7 - I am ALWAYS talking about my NEED for coffee...

Happy TT-13!

Smiles,
Holly

I completely agree that friends can so easily become family! And can I freakin' tell you how jealous I am that you saw Van Halen? OMG, that's on my wish list!!!

Tiffany

Great list! A lot of people seem to be doing the "things I'm thankful for" type lists this week. :-)

My list is here.

Depp and Rickman together? Doesn't that violate some safety code or something? Could be dangerous--theater screens bursting into flame...

--I'm tired and silly.

#4--me too, except that I am doing without mine. It's been sitting in our garage in Texas for 3.5 years. *sob*

Oh coffee...my faithful friend lately! I agree w/ you on Kraft mac-n-cheese. It IS good!

I couldn't live w/o 1, 4, 7, 9, 11, and 12 either. Although I don't drink the brewed coffee, I love the instant General Foods International coffees (esp. Swiss Mocha and Viennese Chocolate).

I started my blog in January, but didn't really go full tilt until June. It's very addicting... but in a good way. I love the fact that I get to voice my opinions about the things that I love and that I have the opportunity to communicate with others from all over who share my love of pop culture.

:) Your list has many of the same things for me too! I don't really want to imagine life without toilet paper ;)

i ate so much kraft mac and cheese one summer that i can't eat it anymore. the thoughts makes me sick, ha!

nice list!

Great list ! I love it that you included TP. :)

Since I didn't see an email address on your blog, I am leaving my comments here. On the blog "The Pink Flamingo", you commented that there is a blogger who never reciprocates when you comment on his blog. You added that you saw where he had already commented earlier on The Pink Flamingo. Since I might be the culprit, I would like to explain why. You can reach me via email at ultfan67@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Malcolm

Agree with u on #1

Great list...I love Kraft Mac & cheese too. My DBF thinks im mental but I always have loved since I was a kid. Happy TT and thanks for stopping by. You have alot to be thankful for:)

Hey, I pink puffy heart my dogs too! Great list.

~Harris.

I have just discovered Kraft Mac & cheese. It's not the sort of thing I feel I SHOULD be eating, but Lord---talk about comfort food.

And I love a cold, fizzy beer with one proviso---it must be Tsing Tao (Chinese rice beer).

I am so glad I read about "Sweeney Todd" here---Rickman! Depp!

Excellent list! I'm not a beer fan, but otherwise, my list would be quite similar.

Happy TT! :-)

I am REALLY late to night to post, but I loved your idea and thought for a second of making my thursday 13 the same - but I resisted (for a week at least!)

Absolute on Johnny Depp!!! Happy belated TT and thank you so much for stopping by!

I couldn't agree more, doggies, mac & Cheese, money and Johnny Depp. Do we really need the other stuff?

my list is up if you need a good laugh.

happy thanksgiving!
