How is it possibly time for another Thursday Thirteen?  Every week my mind is blank when I try to think of something fun to do for Thursday Thirteen.  How do some people have hundreds of Thursday Thirteens?  How can you come up with stuff every single week?  Anyhoo, I decided to go with 13 quotes by Bill Cosby.

1. Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.
2. I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
3. Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap on-a-rope.
4. I am not the boss of my house. I don’t know when I lost it. I don’t know if I ever had it. But I have seen the boss’s job and I do not want it.
5. Women don’t want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think– in a deeper voice.
6. Old is always fifteen years from now.
7. Let us now set forth one of the fundamental truths about marriage: the wife is in charge.
8. You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who’ve never had any.
9. Sigmund Freud once said, “What do women want?” The only thing I have learned in fifty-two years is that women want men to stop asking dumb questions like that.
10. No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
11. In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
12. Parents are not interested in justice, they’re interested in peace and quiet.
13. Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy.

When I think back over the last year and a half or so since I started blogging- it’s pretty surprising the bloggy friends I have made.  A lot of bloggers seem to come and go.   But, today I am going to list 13 bloggy friends I have made that don’t seem to be the type of bloggy friends that will be going anywhere anytime soon.  And even if they did stop blogging I would still consider them to be a friend.  (I’m listing these in alphabetical order by blog name.)

1. Jodie at Common Mom
2. Dana at Just Talk
3. Andrea at Lifesong
4. Verb at MaK!MeJ!
5. Rachel at Max’s Mom
6. Deb at Mom of Three Girls
7. Heather at Not a DIY Life
8. Comfy Denim at Notes from the Laundry Pile
9. Kellan at On the Upside
10. Pam at Random Thoughts
11. Regina at Regina’s Family Seasons

If I didn’t list your blog please don’t feel bad.  These are all bloggers I have been visiting and they have been visiting me for quite a while.  So if you’re not on my list it doesn’t mean I don’t love your blog, it just means I haven’t known you for very long.

I have been doing so well on my diet.  Eating right, exercising almost every day, drinking more water- all that good stuff.  Today- has not been good.  All day long I have had food on my mind.  And I actually did okay for the first part of the day.  But right around 2pm I started snacking non-stop.  Here are 13 things I have eaten today:

1. Toast (breakfast)
2. Bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (lunch- I love eating cereal for lunch)
3. Let the snacking begin with Animal Crackers
4. Goldfish
5. Swiss Cake Roll
6. Peanut Butter granola bar
7. Pickles
8. Cheese
9. Hot dog
10. Roll
11. Tater Tots
12. Chocolate Chip M&M cookies
13. Can you believe I’m looking around my kitchen for something else to eat because I don’t have 13?

I don’t think my weigh in on Friday will be very good.

I have been really drawing a blank lately for my Thursday Thirteen posts.  So this week I figured I’d just do 13 words that describe me that start with a B.

1. Baffled- about what to write for Thursday Thirteen.
2. Busy- I’m a mom… need I say more?
3. Bored- with all of my terrible Thursday Thirteens I’ve done lately.
4. Blessed- I don’t really need to describe this one, I’m just very blessed.
5. Bashful- I’m shy around people I don’t know.
6. Babbling- but I also tend to babble when I’m nervous.
7. Bratty- I can act like this, just a little bit, if I don’t get my way.
8. Brilliant- at least I think so
9. Brownish eyed… actually more of a hazel color, but I’m struggling here.
10. Bargain finding- which I did on Wednesday- I bought Hailey some clothes for next summer at 75% off.  Woo Hoo!!
11. Bill paying- I always make sure our bills are paid on time

And these last two are from Rich….

12. Bewildered- hmmmm… I don’t think that’s compliment.
13. Beautiful- awww, thanks Rich.
