1. I love presents, don’t you? I got the coolest goodie bag from my talented pal Rugdesigner and I wanted to share. She made me this picture frame and t-shirt. How perfect, right?? So very me! Thank you, thank you, thank you Karan! 2. I had an interesting weekend. Saturday I dined with my mom and sister (the blogless one) and had a lovely time. Thank you AM for treating!! 3. Sunday we went to a picnic on a farm and I caught my first fish. It was very exciting. Of course I had no idea what to do with it once I caught it, but it was thrilling just the same. What wasn’t cool was worming the hook. Did you know you have to thread it on there the long way?? Like through the worm’s face? Then I had to walk around with wormy fish hands all day…ick. 4. Did you know that it is Xtessa’s birthday today?? Happy birthday sweetie!! 5. I was playing school with my 6 year old the other day and she, the teacher, asked me, the student, a very deep question. “If a skunk is in the forest all alone and it lets out its spray, would it smell?” I’m still pondering that one… 6. That same daughter says to me this morning, “I’m a dark sleeper now, Mom“. I figured that one out, but it took me a few minutes. 7. A few of you lovelies asked about the voice over thing. Let me explain. When I hear and recognize a voice on TV or the radio, I see a that person’s face in my head, like a flash. If there was a game show about recognizing voice over talent, I’d be a millionaire. I have voesp. 8. Weight loss report = 0. Today is day #1 of the cabbage soup diet. I ‘ll probably make it to day 3 out of 7. Wanna bet? 9. I finally had a a real live and long conversation with my cousin Monday night. Skype is a wonderful thing. 10. I bought this brown dress and my sister bought this brown dress for the same event. Do you think they are too much alike? (No, we were not shopping together at the time.) 11. I am psyched for Survivor tonight. I guess this will be a constant Thursday 13 thought – at least until the season’s over. 12. Have you heard of the show “Pinks“? I’m so hooked on that too. It’s on Wednesday nights on the Speed Channel. “LOSE THE RACE…LOSE YOUR RIDE!” Good stuff… 13. I am working on the song post. Maybe. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. Leanne’s 13 2. Angie’s 13 3. Uzi’s 13 5. Jakapk’s 13 7. Kate’s 13 9. MommyD’s 13 10. Raehan’s 13 (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

i’m here early and i’m still not organized enough to do this, got other stuff to do today, grrrr.
i love your t-shirt and bag, your friend is talented. i’ve never heard of the cabbage soup diet, i’ve lost 7lbs since the end of august, trying to watch what i eat and i cut out the alcohol, grrrrrr. those dresses look great, they do look pretty close, looks like just the straps are different. i guess it’s up to both of you to decide, depends on how much time you will actually be beside each other, some people might not even notice. and never heard of the show pinks, i don’t watch alot of tv.
Here’s my Thirteen
I like your new dress! And I don’t think it’s TOO similar to your sis, but I think people will think “they must be related”. LOL
Cabbage soup? IEEEWWWWWW (2 days.)
Thursday Thirteen #8
13 Super Sweet Morsels about Leanne
1. I got up early today to prep a new painting.
2. So I have to hurry up with my Thirteen, because I plan to paint all day again.
3. I turned the ringer off on the phone yesterday so that I could paint.
…
Love the dresses, and no, I think they are different enough you can both get away with wearing them!
Here’s mine:

Hope you like them.
Cabbage Soup??? Uggghhh! I give you till tomorrow.
I love PINKS! It’s wicked! Let me know how that cabbage soup diet goes…may have to try it myself. Off to wish Xtessa happy b-day!
I’m an avid Survivor fan too. Do you watch the talk show, Survive Live, on Fridays?
Please be careful with the cabbage soup diet. The cooked cabbage and the liquid taken day after day can cause your electrolites to go really wonky. You can get sick from it. When Steven was consuming cabbage for the ulcer I really had to be careful how much he ate in a weeks time.
I played this week. It is up now.
I love the Thursday 13. I also love your brown dress. I also want to add be very careful about the cabbage soup diet. It really is not good for you honey. Please, make sure you are taking a multi vitamin. My husband is addicted to the show “Pinks” too. I can’t wait for the song post!
*hugs*
You’re welcome, sweetie! Glad you like them! I think the dresses look great. They’re different enough in style and it look like in shade. I say go for it! Be careful with the diet thing! Now, I’m off to eat lunch with your sister. Wish you were going to be with us as well!
Yay for your first fish! I love the dress! Here’s my 13!
I bet you make it to Day Four just to be contrary. 5 cents too much for you?
Cabbage soup?
As long as it has some chunks of steak and potato…I guess.

Mines up- did i do it right- LOVE the dress!!!! and no- not to much alike.
thank you, mommak!*smooches*
LOL on the skunk remark. hubby burst our laughing on that one… reminds me of my Philosophy 1 class in college, about that tree in the forest… heehee.
This is the first week I played. Great site by the way found you through Angie!
You’re such a good sport. There is no way I would ever worm a hook myself — that’s what the men are for.
About the dresses, great minds think alike, eh? I think both dresses are very beautiful. They look slightly similar, but I think it will be fine.
Hi again from Crusty. I enjoyed your list today. Thanks
You’re a busy lady, MommaK! and hi to your cousin!! Skype? Gotta google that one!
So just how big was the fish? heh
Kinda like the dog who chases cars. He wouldn’t know what to if he ever caught one.
And why on God’s green earth would anyone eat cabbage soup? That sounds like that beet diet everybody was doing back in the 80’s. I’m still not sure what purpose beets serve, but they don’t constitute food in my dictionary.
Now, jalapeno soup from On The Border… THAT sounds yummy…
Yeah Survivor. I think I may just have to play today.
I couldn’t stick to the cabbage soup diet either.
I love the dresses. They are both lovely and I don’t think they are too much the same.
I am still trying to figure out the 13 thing. I want to be 13-again, Ha! I love the dresses! Both of them! Great for fall.
Got my thirteen thursday up now! These are really fun to read!
Ew, fish!! I like the dresses! Here’s my list:
http://supatwinsmama.blogspot.com
ICK! CABBAGE soup!! Good luck making it past day 3!!
(I’ve been doing Weight Watchers since August 1 and am down 18 lbs as of this morning, so I hear ya!)
The dresses do look similar and so pretty….Seeing that you are sisters you could get away with it.
I can’t stand cabbage soup….I did this diet 2 times. I lost approx 10 lbs…and gained it back within 2 months. I felt deprived (I wanted chocolate) yet my electrolytes were fine. Remember I am the one who did that HOLLYWOOD diet for 2 days!!!!! My experience is the longer it takes to come off…the longer it stays off.
The dresses are not too similar- as long as you don’t mind everyone saying “Oh! Twins!” when they see the two of you…
Cabbage soup sounds yucky. I love the dresses. Different enough. I finally did the Thursday Thirteen. Here is my link to add! http://multiplemania.blogspot.com/2005/10/thursday-thirteen_112863428127800882.html
I don’t want to discourage you, but we tried that cabbage soup diet years and years ago and my husband lasted until lunchtime and then came down with a migraine. I know it doesn’t make sense, but it’s true.

Cute dresses.
I’m psyched for Survivor, too. You know what I’m even more psyched about? Reading your blog tomorrow! LOL, you have such great Surivor reviews!
First timer here im up!
I wanted to do a Thursday Thirteen, but I only got to 4. Maybe next week. The dressses are not that similar. Go with it.
Are you crazy, cabbage soup? You look great – quit thinking about it. (However I may try some wacko diet sometime between now and then.)
Glad not too many people think they look alike. I am really excited to wear mine with you. As they say “great minds do think alike”
Ok, is this a weekly thing? Cuz I think I’m too tired to think of 13 things today….it’s been one of THOSE days…..but maybe next week will be better?!
HI, MommaK….long time no see!
I don’t think the two dresses are too similar. Brown is my favorite color, and I’m hoping it will be this year’s black.
Oh, and I made the cabbage soup last winter because I like it, and not for the diet factor. Yum!
I also read an article the other day that said those who diet and make their own diet lunch dinner lost an average of 8 pounds in a month, and those that ate a diet frozen thing lost 12 in a month. mmmmm.
The cabbage soup thing…when did they get started? I’ve never tried it! Sounds weird…
I don’t think the two dresses are too similar either, go for it. As for the skunk question…
…still thinking.
I’ll let you use my “Cheat Sheet”: #5 is “NO”. Have a nice weekend!
If you will check back, you will see that Ol’ Hoss predicted Day 4 for the soup. You owe me 5 cents.
Told Mom new site is stunning/keeper.
