Winner: Childhood Memories…

winnerWe Have A Winner!

Becky

Here’s Becky’s Answer…

I remember being 5 years old and chasing the dog around the house. I jammed my knee into a nail sticking out of the wall, and I had to get stitches. I remember blood staining my sock, and that’s about it.. I must have blocked out the stitches part because it hurt so much! :( I also remember being little and a relative couldn’t come to my birthday party, and I commented that I didn’t want her there because she was fat; my mom really chewed me out. I learned about tact that day. I still feel bad. :( Thank you so much for offering this giveaway!

Congratulations to Christine R.

Your Resolutions… A Winner

Posted by: on: January 1, 2009

winner

We Have A Winner… Ti, it’s You!

Most of you already know Ti at Book Chatter & Other Stuff.   I’m somewhat new to her blog (late on the bandwagon, you could say)… and have already subscribed and will be adding her to my blog rolls.  Check her out!

Another great blog that I learned about in this week’s MEME/contest is ?? at Repurposed.  This is an awesome blog and I only wish I could sew better after checking out some of her cool ideas!  Mama wants new curtains!  And, I love her ideas on re-using sheets… very good idea.  After all, the material in sheets is so sturdy and soft!

I also liked being inspired by the resolutions that you put forth.  I want to thank for your participating and commenting!  It makes EVERYTHING worth it!  I remember last year when I wanted to stop this MEME because I didn’t think anybody really wanted it.  I’m glad the few of you out there urged me to continue it.  It’s fun and I the best part is that I get to meet new people.  That’s what it should be about!

Next week there will not be a Thursday’s Thoughts meme/contest will be published this weekend. 

The Randomizer’s Results:

  1. Ti
  2. Alyce
  3. Christy

Question: Do We Like Thursday’s Thoughts?

Posted by: on: November 7, 2008

Howdy!

The participation level in Thursday’s Thoughts has really dwindled.  I really enjoy the weekly challenge, but due to the level of response on the last two contests, I’m not sure that I should keep it up. 

Please give me your feedback…

Am I better off just hosting periodic contests on A Novel Menagerie?

Thanks for your candid comments!

Thursday’s Thoughts: What’s Your Favorite Classroom Subject?

Posted by: on: October 30, 2008

Was it…

Math?

English?

Social Studies?

Science?

Theater Arts?

History?

What was/is that favorite class of yours?  The one that you just loved the homework, the classroom activity, and the projects?  Was it something that came easy to you?  Or, was it more of a struggle, but you just wanted it that much?  It may have been a teacher than inspired you to love the topic.  Perhaps, that cute boy in the classroom who became your tutor?

This week’s Thursday’s Thoughts… What is/was your favorite classroom subject?  Did it come easy for you…? Why did you love it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recently read Life After Genius, about a boy who was a math genius.  He loved math!  Actually, as do I!  He was definitely a math-addict!  I did well in all aspects of math, but geometry wasn’t my passion, for some reason.  But, I loved English and language just as much.  I hated history… but, now regret that I didn’t listen more about it.  Science was cool, but I hated memorizing the Periodic Table of Elements (remember that one?).

The prize for this week’s Thursday’s Thoughts is a copy of Life After Genius. 

All of the regular rules apply…

  • Write a post on your site answering this week’s topic & question.  Put a link to that post in the comments section below.
  • Write your answer via a comment below.
  • Send me an email at anovelmenagerie@aol.com with your answer and I’ll post it for you.
  • All entries preferred to be concluded on October 30th, however entries are open until November 5th at 3pm PST. 
  • Winners are announced on next week’s Thursday’s Thoughts.

In an unrelated topic… please VOTE!  It’s not just about the president… it’s about the local propositions and leaders.  They need your vote~ (preaching is now concluded!).

A Donation in the name of Alyce

Posted by: on: October 29, 2008

The winner of the past two weeks’ Thursday’s Thoughts is Alyce of At Home With Books!  Congrats, Alyce!

A donation in the amount of $25 will be placed in your name!

Thank you so much for spreading the word and being a part of it!

Thursday’s Thoughts… Is Being Extended

Posted by: on: October 23, 2008

Hey, Ladies!

We’re saving our breasts, here! 

I want Thursday’s Thoughts Mission on this to mean something… to really remind others.  Even if it just reminds them to give themself a breat exam that day, then we’ve done our part!  So…. I’m extending our weekly contest/MEME through until next Wednesday 29th!  If all you do is post the badge on your site, and leave a comment letting me know you’ve done it… then, that’s an entry! 

Let’s DO-IT, TO-IT, gals!  Let’s save some boobs!  More importantly, let’s save some LIVES!
