Hi everybody! I hope you’re all having a great day/evening. I hope you’re all staying cool or warm, dry or wet. Whatever you need from this day, I wish you all of that.

So, today, I’ll be doing a Thursday 13 post. I don’t think I’ve done one before but this may be my new go-to post for all Thursdays.
Thank you, Liz, over at Laws of Gravity.

The idea is just to make a list of 13 things. Easy peasy. Today mine will be 13 random thoughts. Whatever tumbles out tumbles out. So, here we go. I’ll try to keep them short.

1 – I listened to whining/barking dogs all day and I know it’s not their fault. It’s their owners. They go to work and the dogs go into the backyard. Hopefully, there’s water, shade, and food for them.

2 – I hate the heat. I know you know. I heard something the other day that this outrageous heat will be the norm in years to come. If that’s true the new summer drink at my house will be Mimi over ice… In my bathtub… Not shaken, not stirred, and hopefully undisturbed!

3 – I tried to watch the Presidential debate tonight but it was just too painful. Basically, we’re all fucked.

4 – I find myself addicted to unsweetened iced tea with lemon.

5 – I also find myself addicted to Britbox and Acorn.

6 – Tonight, for dinner, we had pork loin, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.

7 – I don’t like the news reporter Jake Tapper on CNN.

8 – I have 2 projects going right now. 1 for Halloween and 1 for Christmas.

9 – My granddaughter’s first concert last week was New Kids On The Block and Paula Abdul. She loved it and knew all of the songs. That’s because her mom (my daughter) knew all of the songs, because why? That’s right because this mom jammed out in the car during the 80s and 90s.

Annnnd, one of the band members is on one of my favorite shows, Blue Bloods as Danny Reagan.

And, in the way back when machine, he’s the one with the bandana. It’s so funny to see these pics now. To Mark Wahlberg’s credit, he has now been a multi-generational hottie in my family.

10 – My favorite New Kids On The Block song is You Got It (The Right Stuff)

11 – It sucks that Blue Bloods is doing their last season. It’s a great show.

12 – My allergies are acting up and that sucks too.

13 – It’s 11pm and I’m tired so I’m heading to bed. It’s been a long day for me!

Okay, well, there’s my Thursday 13. Not too bad. I was still trying to make them shorter. – Next time… Maybe… Good night!
