Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Articles or Blog Posts I’ve Enjoyed This Week

  1. Mommy Bytes’ post, Thursday Thirteen #18 - Join the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk contains 13 reasons to join the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk to improve the lives of those diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. I’m now walking too and it only required a donation of $3.00.
  2. Catherine Lawson’s post, Read This Before It Kills You is about paying attention to your health and taking care of yourself. Excellent advice!
  3. The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Bloggers - a helpful list of what NOT to do as a blogger. I might be guilty of a couple of these. Oops.
  4. Six Until Me’s post, Sad Robot is a vivid description of what a bad diabetic low can feel like. This post brought tears to my eyes.
  5. Chocolate: The New Antidepressant? from Diet Blog is a favorite. Anything that tells me chocolate is good for me is an instant favorite.
  6. I enjoy Skeet’s Tuesday Teasers every week. Actually, wait… what am I saying? They drive me nuts! They drive Jack nuts too.
  7. There is always something that makes me smile at LOL Diabetes like this post with my favorite Sesame Street Character, Cookie Monster! P is for Protection
  8. This image in this post at A Pile of Dogbones cracked me up. WARNING: Do not click the link if images of tooth brushes caught in the “act” will offend you!
  9. It takes a lot of guts to admit feelings about yourself like Kellie reveals in Weighty Matters: The Heavy Set Woman. I bet many of us can relate.
  10. The following is not an article. It was an actual conversation that took place this morning while talking to my buddy Jay (no, not Wyldlock, Jay, my ex co-worker):

    Space says (10:42 AM):
    sometimes it’s hard to find 13 things to write about….
    Space says (10:42 AM):
    today I was thinking I’d do 13 articles or blog posts I’ve enjoyed in the past week… cause I remember a lot of good stuff… turns out I only had 9.. and am having a hard time finding 4 more
    Jay says (10:42 AM):
    i can be # 10
    Jay says (10:43 AM):
    i’m an interesting guy
    Jay says (10:43 AM):
    … lol

    Space says (10:43 AM):
    you don’t even have a website that’s functioning, what am I going to link to?
    Jay says (10:43 AM):
    i dunno…
    Jay says (10:43 AM):
    lol

    Space says (10:44 AM):
    you’re a dork.

  11. I found this article, John Smedley: Exclusive Interview with the SOE CEO hilarious. Sony buys Sigil and thus owns Vanguard: Saga of Heroes™. All my die-hard EQ buddies will understand the irony of this.
  12. I’m always on the lookout for good blogging tips and things that will help me improve this blog. As such this post, Six Ways Blogging Differs From Other Types of Writing was an interesting read.
  13. My web host is a bit unconventional, to say the least. I absolutely loved their blog post that described how they got started in the business, Are you older than a Fifth Grader?
