Colleen at The Thursday 13 holds a weekly blogging prompt where bloggers make a list of 13 things on Thursdays. The topic is for you to choose. The blog host doesn't have any official graphics to display on the Thursday 13 posts, so I decided to whip one up myself. 🙂
Just some random things to kick off my first Thursday 13 post of 2025.
- Still haven't taken down my Christmas yard lights. I need to pack them away safely and where they won't get exposed to the sun. I really want to use them again next year, especially the candy canes.
- I wasn't able to keep my gingerbread house on the lawn very much as there was a lot of rain last month. Just the same, some of it did get wet. I don't plan on reusing it next year anyway--no doubt I'll come up with another idea then.
- I was sad to learn that the Pick Your Poison reading challenge will be ending after this year. It's so much fun, and I love the bizarre categories it includes.
- I don't seem to have signed up for as many challenges as I did last year. Then again, I can never keep tract of just how many I do.
- The county library reopens today, but I am not sure when I'll be back, but I will. I'm reading some books from home for now.
- It's been cold in my area, even if the sun does appear outside.
- Mostly stayed home on New Year's Day. Gave a friend a ride to the ATM and the liquor store. I shouldn't have to say how empty the town and parking lots were.
- It sure did not feel like it was Wednesday this week and last because of Christmas and New Year's Day. It felt like Friday last week was Monday and I expect this Friday to feel the same.
- We baked cookies at work last Friday, with dough made from scratch. They were chocolate chip, a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate ones. The cookies were delicious!
- I pod
- I don't yet know about what to do for my birthday next Saturday.
- I wanted to get some new books when I last went to Target, but did not find any I wanted just yet.
- And I still don't know when our town's bookstore will be open. It's near where I work.

This is an odd liminal time. I didn't go out on the 1st (except to walk the dog), so I didn't get a chance to see empty streets. Now I'm hungry for chocolate chip cookies.
I'm all mixed up about what day of the week it is too. Hopefully next week will see everything get back to normal.
I am off on my days of the week, too. And happy birthday a little early! Celebrate all month!
I always sign up for a lot of reading challenges, not that I always finish them despite reading A LOT! I'm also a spreadsheet nerd, which helps keep track of them for me!
