1. This is my first Thursday Thirteen. I have been trying really hard to think of an impressive first topic to do...
2. I wanted to do thirteen things about how last night I had one of the most annoying theatre experiences ever, but I think I can cover it in one--XMen 3, someone brought a two year old to the theatre~enough said!
3. I thought about telling you thirteen things that I like to do, but I couldn't get away from blogging and reading blogs long enough to have other hobbies!
4.Okay-#3 isn't completely true-I like to read books too!
5. I own a lot of books (I used to work at a bookstore) In fact we just moved recently and based on the boxes of books that my husband had to move, I bet he would tell you that I own 13x100 (1,300) books, and that wouldn't be much of an exageration!
6. I also watch a lot of movies--in fact I have often thought that I might have obsessve-compulsive-DVD-buying-disorder.......in case you havent' been diagnosed with this I will let you know that it means that I can't walk by the DVD section of any store without buying a DVD!
7. The last DVD I bought was Chronicles of Narnia~The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe!
8. Chronicles of Narnia is also a set of books that I own!
9. In fact C.S. Lewis is a favorite author of mine!
10. I also love Francine Rivers!
11. I read a lot of childrens' books to my daughter-right now her favorite one is all about counting butterflies and learning colors--all of the butterflies are glitters and pretty!
12. Yesterday my daughter asked me if I could fly like a butterfly-sadly, I had to tell her no I couldn't. She told me that she pretended that she could and she would tell me how to do it!
13. I love to fly on airplanes....but my husband can't stand it. My daughter has only done it once, but she was too little to remember-but I have lots of pictures of her doing it!
So glad you enjoyed Narnia. Caspian is due to start casting soon. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat first list.
Welcome to Thursday thirteen. I did my first one about 3 weeks ago I think and I had the hardest time coming up with 13 things. I still do, to be honest. I can't believe someone brought a little kid to X3.
ReplyDeleteVery nice list.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I can't fly like a butterfly either ... but I can imagine. :)
We are bookaholics in this house. I am SO GLAD my boys all seem to like books, too! My oldest is reading a Narnia series over the summer. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Do where PJ'S!!! Perfect Comfort-Wear...!
ReplyDeleteI love that your daughter is going to teach you how to pretend to fly like a butterfly...Now how dear is that?
Nice list! Try reading Astrid Lindgren's books to your daughter, they are great!
ReplyDeleteYou're so luck for loving to fly. I hate it! Whenever I have to fly it's awful. I spend the whole time antecipating my death and how awful it will be. But then I start wishing I'd die before the plane crashed and went up in flames... awful awful for me!
I love your list. So much about you is in there. I love the CS Lewis books too. I read all of them in grade 6 and would love to get my hands on them again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Thursday Thirteen.
Welcome to TT. Enjoyed your list, especially your daughters comment :)
ReplyDeletewelcome to TT!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about hving kids is being able to read all of those books again. I read Narnia to my son and I can't wait to do the same for my daughter. I loved the movie, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Welcome to TT. I enjoyed reading your list -- my favorite was your daughter's comment that she would tell you how to fly like a butterfly. How cute!
ReplyDeleteBesides the annoying child in the theater (I hate that. Can you not hire a babysitter?) did you like XMen?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Thursday Thirteen! There are MANY great people on this blogroll!
ReplyDeleteI love flying, too....unfortunately, it costs too much. Books are another thing I love, I just haven't made much time for reading since having children and discovering blogging. ;)
Have been seeing TT's for a while, so decided to try it to. Don't have any problems coming up with 13 things. Coming up with 13 interesting things is my issue. Your daughter sounds like a sweety. Love glittery anythings. No longer have my books, but they probably numbered close to a 1,000. (gave them to kids & libraries) We still have some of their children's books, one is "The Butterfly Ball". Love butterfly's!
ReplyDeleteflying anywhere on a plane is the only way to go for me!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to T 13
My Thurs 13 is posted
I get so scared when I fly!
ReplyDeleteI still have never read the Narnia books. I just have no interest although I feel like I should for literacy sake.
I fly a lot and luckily, Hubby likes airplane travel too. Very nice first Thirteen. Thanks for visiting my TT.
ReplyDeleteGreat Thursday 13. I am fairly new. Great picture too, is that a real place?
ReplyDeleteA Disney DVD Collector here. Dumbo was my latest find. Welcome to T13 and what a fabulous start! -Margie
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Thursday Thirteen!
ReplyDeleteYou will have a lot of fun!!
Hello, Michele sent me.
ReplyDeleteCongratultions on your first Thursday Thirteen. I think it was a great start. Now you have a base from which to build other posts upon. Surprisingly, I saw CARS on a Sunday afternoon when lots of kids went but other than the flashing shoes, it was a peacefull experience.
And personally, I can't handle the pressure of a weekly post, but that's just me.
I played for the first time this week also, and let me tell you - yours is much better than mine! I'm getting a lot of ideas (read that, ideas to steal) and inspiration from reading a lot of the other T13's though :)
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have a lot in common, I'm a book-loving, DVD-buying kind of girl too :)
Have a great day!
Hi...Michele sent me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first Thursday Thirteen...I haven't gotten into that yet.
But books I can relate to....and what your daughter said about flying like a butterfly was precious. Write it down, so you don't forget it when she's older.
Welcome to the Thursday Thirteen. I enjoyed your post. I think you are funny (never heard of a DVD disorder...I'll have to use that one!)
ReplyDeleteStrangely I liked the BBC Narnia better, because it is from my childhood! But the new one was still good, and much prettier.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I have good TT ideas, sometimes I have just random stuff that is kind of lame. Oh well!
Michele sent me to see you, Tracie.
ReplyDeleteI haven't participated in the Thursday 13 in at least 8 months. Except to toss in comments like this, that is.
I'd love to see Xmen3. Maybe this weekend. I loved the first movie and thought the second one was pretty good as well. I really don't want to see any characters die tho.
I've not seen the Narnia movie either tho I want to. I read the books when I was a kid but the Christian theme was a little heavy for me back then. I've become far more open to that sort of thing since then, Tracie.

ReplyDeleteI haven't had the nerve to do the Thursday Thirteen yet. Yours (really, the first?) was great.
My girl is too big to read to now, just turned 20. I remember those days of reading books before bed. Her favorite was (and may still be) Goodnight Moon.

ReplyDeleteI loved #12!
Nice list !
ReplyDeleteI love flying too : really good thing since I am a frelance musician and always on the go...
Michele sent me. Have a great weekend !
Welcome to TT!!
ReplyDeleteI like Narnia too, it was a fun movie!
Great list! I just did my first one last week too. I am also a book lover. No such thing as too many books!
