thirteen on thursday

i didn't get around to ten on tuesday this week. it has been way busy at work, so here's thirteen for thursday.
thank you to my new follower zachary mark korenak for joining the group. i know have a total of 4 of you, it's kind of a big deal.




1. i am exhausted! it has been so busy this week at work; i've pretty much thought about quitting out of sheer laziness but am too lazy to get around to it, luckily, because i need the cash.





2. i've started calling my animals by nicknames more often. i think it confuses them more than anything else, because they know their actual names. sonic is the cat, because i found him at the sonic. creative, i know. and paco is the dog, paco bueno like taco bueno to keep with the food theme, sort of. anways, they're a duo. bff, if you will. so, i call them by duo names. my latest are pancho and lefty & cash and money. i'm sure in their own way, they know i'm crazy. at least it's just the 2 of them.





3. the cat is ticking me off. audra has always stood firm to the belief that cats are from hell. i didn't used to think so. then, i had an indoor cat...and i am inclined to agree. they ran out of his special food at the vet so he's been barfing. gggross. this means he's going outside more often, because i'm not keen on barf. he gets bored inside also and jumps on top of the fridge from the floor, he gets height, and then proceeds to knock everything i store on top of the fridge, off. thank you. it's not there for a reason. wait, yes it is jacknut! that is another one of his nicknames lately. also, he probably thinks "sonic, i hate you" is his full name, because he's heard it quite frequently of late.


4. i'm reading water for elephants. i just re-started it. so far, so good. the same person who told jalynn it was good told her edgar sawtelle was good, so i'm being cautious. because, edgar sawtelle was so depressing i didn't get halfway through it. talk about a bummer. but water for elephants also got rave reviews from my grandparents, mother and sister, so it should be good. jennifer doesn't like to read anything sad, so it couldn't be too much of a downer like edgar was.


5. one of the best books i've read lately that i think anyone would like no matter what they like to read is half broke horses by jeannette walls. it's a story about jeannett's grandma's life. the glass castle is about jeanette's life, which i also liked but jennifer thought was potentially too sad to read, so it's a personal choice. half broke horses is not a downer at all. very good all around. my gramma and grampa bales both loved it and they read exactly the opposite in books, so it's a crowd pleaser, i think.


6. i am always looking for the next good read, so reccomendations are welcome.


7. i'm still looking for a husband. reccomendations are welcome.


8. i'm super pumped for all 2 weeks of fall to get here! come on october, i miss you!


9. deb, if you're still at the fro's, you should read that book i gave her to read. i think it's called saving ceecee honeycutt. something about her anyways. it's just a good, cute read. you can read it on the way home, since you're spending all your free time cuddling zane.



10. i don't think i'm getting to thirteen. sorry, ten is a good number. i tried to keep it catchy, but it's just ten on thursday. everyone will live through this.
