Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme that has made one new year’s resolution: to make sure to be here every week!

1. Take the book you are currently reading and post the third sentence of the third chapter. Feel free to share one or two of the following sentences, if you’d like.
2. Share your thoughts on the sentence.
3. Post a link to your blog post in the link list below. Don’t forget to link back here, too! If you don’t have a blog, just leave it in the comments here.
4. Visit one or two of the other blogs to check out their third sentence.

“She love the majesty of the high rise buildings, the sight of the inclined railways, and the way the afternoon sun glinted off the soft ripples of the Allegheny and Monongahela River’s”

This just paints a pretty picture in my mind as to what this city looks like.

John came up to me today once I got home from the movies and asked if I wasn’t surprised… he then proceeded to show me a magazine ad for a foot pedal that could be hooked up to an iPhone, iPad, iTouch, that had several different Midas Mixers apps to choose from.

He is now thinking he wants to upgrade to and iPhone so he can do this, as he wants to be able to use this when he is out with the guys when he plays his guitar. I am hoping I can hold him off until the fall when I have an upgrade option and get him one then. I will also have a better handle on how our bills will be by then.

Of course I will get the new phone, as I want a higher GB, and he can have my old iPhone! LOL Isn’t this they way it usually goes. Mom gets the newer stuff and dad gets the hand me downs?

I haven’t watched this show for the last few seasons, as I haven’t really known the stars that have been dancing. But this season, I know most of them! I missed the opener last week, as well as last night, but I am catching up all thanks to ONDEMAND! The dances always make me want to go out and take dance lessons, but the outfits, make me want to cringe at times. Most look like sexy corset lingerie, that my hubby wouldn’t let me out of the house in!

I have only see a few of the dancers, and am blown away. They are really, really good! I have to remember to set the DVR to record from here on out.

The Her Head Is Part Missing Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim’s post. (It’s our way of saying “Thanks!”) We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme’s best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let’s go!!!

Today we ripped off a blogger named Claire-Louise from the blog Mummy Of Many Talents. It’s another in a series that’s going around where you are asked eleven questions and then write eleven more. It’s a great way for a thief to find questions, but the series is going through Europe “Mummy Bloggers”, so much editing is required. [We also had to rip off the thief before these two because of the amount of “mummy”, lame or repetitive questions. There are just so many ways to answer“your favorite song” and “which superpower would you like”. We really have to work friggin' hard to make this all look SO easy. There. Rant over. Oh, and if you haven't made the effort to "like" WTIT on facebook, then you are beyond hope. We ask SO little. We even turn down advertisers. Okay, now it's REALLY over! Hope you had a great St. Pat's Day! BW] She states that she was tagged by Lovely Lou over at Bloggomy. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player’s posts. It’s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!
