13 Reasons that I wish my Stinking Internet Worked!

  1. How can I visit everyone's Thursday 13 without my internet!?
  2. How can I obsessively check to see if I got a response back from Samhain?!
  3. I need Wikipedia to fact check my writing! I don't like anachronisms! I don't! They make me crazy! Well unless they are members of SCA then that's okay!
  4. I need Dictionary.com to make sure I'm not misusing words. I have an insane fear of that.
  5. Seriously I have an email checking addiction!
  6. I miss the Luna board and Samhain Cafe!
  7. I can't check the weather once every few minutes to make sure that the sound I'm hearing is a truck and not thunder.
  8. I need to blog!
  9. I need to read other people's blogs!!!
  10. What if some huge important piece of news happens and I miss it cause I never have the TV on?
  11. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED MSN Messenger! *dies a little inside each minute that goes by without connection to the outside world*
  12. I don't know what I'm going to cook tonight and I can't get to allrecipes.com!
  13. I need to online shop for things I'm never going to buy!

That isn't all but I guess I should stop with 13 since I'm writing this in my "I don't really smoke, but we're going to call this my smoke break" break. \

I miss you all!!!





The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged!

LOL Poor Lesley. Hope your internet is back up and running soon. It's amazing how dependent we are on technology.

Whoa. How'd you manage to get this up without Internet? Are you stealing your neighbors' signals again? (and if not, why not?)

Hang in there, babe. You'll be back up among us before too long. I hope.

Oh Lesley, that's just terrible. I depend on the internet for so many things, both as a writer and in my regular daily life. I can't imagine having to do without it! Hope things get resolved soon!

Ack, I was hyperventilating for you at the thought of losing my internet! Glad you made it anyway and that it's working again!

I'm glad I saw the happy ending to this sad tale before I scrolled down for the TT. I love your need to online shop for things you'll never buy! I do that in real life. It's relaxing.

Glad you're back up and running. :)
I know how difficult it is when things crash (of course, if it happens at work I just smile). Happy TT.

Ouch! I'd have to hang out at Starbucks with the laptop. No way can I go without my connection.

Thanks all for your condolences. :-D I can't believe I survived. hehe

Susan: You know I would have...But no one around us has wireless!!!!! Well there is one very faint signal at the far end of the house coming from somewhere, but only my good laptop will pick it up, and it was at the doctor getting over a close encounter with a glass of tea. It was a bad week for technology. LOL

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c

13 Things I would Happily Take as Birthday Presents My Birthday is September 20th, but I'll be gone to Denmark. Holy cow, I'll be gone before next week's Thursday 13, so I doubt very seriously since I'll be in a plane all night that I'll be blogging. That means I'm going to be MIA for about two Thursday 13's! Aww, I'll miss you guys! Wish me luck, 8 hours in a plane with a two year old, *shudders* I and the other passengers are going to need it! So here we go! Stuff I'd happily accept as birthday gifts upon my return. A 3 book contract for my Women of Sithein series. They are all written and wrapped up, now I just need someone to love them as much as I do! This Beautiful Bag from eBags! In pink of course!!! To win the lottery! I guess that means I'll have to buy a ticket when I'm in Denmark. hehe A print of A Little Prince Likely in Time to Bless a Royal Throne. I'd take the original, but I don't want to be greedy. ;) A Well Beha

13 Things that Unless You’re One of My Girlfriends or my Husband You Probably Don’t Know About Me 1. I like costumes! A LOT! I would even go so far as to say I absolutely freakin’ adore costumes. All types of costumes! I have fairy costumes, vampire hunter costumes, vampire costumes, witch costumes (Cute ones! Not the stereotypical witch with green skin and warts. My witch hat has feathers!), a nun costume, a French maid costume (as you can imagine, that one was actually a direct request of my husband LOL), an elf costume, medieval costumes, a fifties costume…I could go on, but I think I’ll stop now. 2. I was a Goth in High School *insert shocked gasps here* I know! I know! It’s hard to tell nowadays because of the insane amounts of pink I surround myself with. But Pink is the new black! Didn’t you know that? You didn’t? Well now you do. :-D Well to be more honest, I was as Goth as I could be in my very conservative Southern town and still be allowed to go to school, which me
