13 Things…with no rhyme or reason why they made this list.
1. I could never work in a funeral home. It’s not scary or icky. It’s just the possibility of the scariest practical jokes ever.
2. I really cannot stand L*ndsay L*han’s BFF/GF. Does she creep anyone else out?
3. This time of year is the very best time to work where I work. I have four paid holidays this month alone. On top of that, I have extra vacation time that I have to take. I won’t be a full-timer again till sometime in December. And then my boss gives us a week with pay for Christmas. Neener neener.
4. That was really, really braggy. Heh.
5. I cannot imagine having to learn the English language. Think about explaining the meaning(s) of a word like ‘sanction’.
6. This infuriates me. That is all.
7. This will be lost on those of you who have yet to read the Stephenie Meyer books, but I just saw the greatest. t-shirt. ever. “Edward Cullen <3… why aren’t you real?” Sigh. I need that shirt.
8. It’s really, really bad that I don’t have 13 random thoughts in my head.
9. Why don’t we sneeze when we are asleep?
10. I spent over an hour last night trying to explain possessives and plural possessives to a co-worker so she could teach it to her 3rd grade son. Not sure what’s worse — that she couldn’t grasp it or that they are already teaching that stuff in 3rd grade.
11. I have been ‘volunteered’ to provide the dessert for my husband’s office Thanksgiving meal. It will be the only dessert served. Any ideas? (I have to rock the place, you know.) I have several ideas, but I’m open to suggestions.
12. Is it 13 yet?
And finally…
13. It has come to my attention that when other bloggers list 13 random ideas and thoughts they are actually entertaining, but that when I do it, it kinda borders between desperate and pathetic.

Since it’s the only dessert, I’m inclined to be traditional and say pumpkin pie. However, I am also selfish with my love for desserts, so I am going to say pumpkin cheesecake.

Pumpkin pie, Berry pie, Apple crisp, Scotcharoos, Pecan pie, cookies of any sort.
Mmmmmm…

I like your list. It was fun and random. I’ll have to get back to ya on the dessert. {going off to think…..}

Lindsay Lohan creeps me out, let alone her GF.
November 13, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Dude, I think you’re cute when you’re desperate. And that Wall st thing made me want to stab people, preferably bankers and brokers.

My daughter just started ‘Twilight’ and is already hooked. I’m not typically into that kind of stuff, but she’s threatened me with bodily harm if I don’t try it. A Thanksgiving weekend hand-off has been scheduled.
November 13, 2008 at 6:42 pm
And Andie? I’m printing that recipe as I type this. Wow!
November 13, 2008 at 7:12 pm
The only pumpkin desserts I like are the standard pies. But, for some reason, pumpkin cheesecake is tempting me this year. Wierd.
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie is good.
The Wall St bonus thing is beyond infuriating. Why? It’s nuts.
November 13, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Jennifer, I’m not typically into that stuff either. But Oh. My. God. Can’t wait to hear what you think.
I don’t care for much that is pumpkin-based, but I’ve gotten a couple of recipes today that are very tempting. I also like the pumpkin cheesecake that is featured in the Philly ads around the holidays — delish!

Dude, Samantha Ronson is ultra creepy, but if she makes our sweet lil’ Lohan happy….
OK, just gave myself the squicks.
The wall street thing is absolutely infuriating. Thanks for making us all feel stabbity and such.

oooh, oooh. I’ve got one. WN, you’ve goosed me into posting a post on the nearly-abandoned blog. (the recipe, I mean)
Tiramisu Cheesecake – chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, cream cheese, sour cream…. It is a good one and very easy.

11. If you want easy but good, go with pumpkin dip. I’ll email you the recipe.
7. I can’t WAIT to read the TWILIGHT books! I love that they’re basically Anne Rice Light for kids!
1. Remember that the first three letters of Funeral are F-U-N…
2. Whenever I see SR, my Mom Sonar screams “Abusive!”
8. I’m fairly certain that ALL of these items are random.
10. Can I have Nooze call you when she hits third grade? She’s unable to understand Yankee Learnin’.
November 15, 2008 at 7:44 am
WN, I heartily recommend using Andie’s recipe link. WOW.
I’ll still email the pumpkin dip recipe (2nd QUICK desert), but use Andie’s as the PRIMARY!
