I'm late to the party, but it was a long day. So my T13 is hours overdue! But, whatever. It's 5'oclock somewhere.
I stopped by Janet's site this evening in time to read this challenge for TT'ers by Denise. I didn't know about this earlier, but I think she has a great idea:
""I would like to challenge all Thirteeners to come up with 13
things they like about themselves on the next Thursday 13...September
7. I feel like we, as women, spend so much time scrutinizing ourselves
that we sometimes forget the good stuff."
I'm brain dead at the moment, tired out from events of this past week. I'd just as soon be on the couch taking a nap, but apparently we're going out to build up our Chinese cholesterol and fat and sodium quotient.. The natives are hungry. So, I'll see what I can think of and then we'll go get Chinese! My list is:
1. My sense of humor.
2. My laid back attitude.
3. My ever lovin heart.
4. My body parts. I have cool body parts.
5. My zeal for FOOTBALL!! BUCS AND GATORS!!!
6. My zest for exercise. I like to get moving.
7. My z....
(trying to think of anther z word..)
7. (giving up on z's...) My writing. I like to write. Even if I can't write well ALL the time, I still like to write. Writing badly is a great way to aggravate well educated English Majors.
8. My love of words, weird words!
9. My appreciation for the small things.
10. My inability to keep the house spotless at all times. It means I'm not so tired from cleaning.
bwahhahha!
11. I like my taste. In people, in decorating. In cars, in dogs!
12. I like my taste buds as well.
13. And I love my better half. ;)
I'll put the code up when I get back home. The natives are restless and hungry.
I like your likes! ;)

Have a great day! My TT is up on my site too :)

That is one of the best T/Ts ever...it seems so genuine and I can relate. I should cut it out and paste it by my computer!

Hi Laura! I love love love what you said about aggravating well-educated English majors! Too funny! This is a great T13! I'm not usually one for lists like this, but do you mind if I give it a shot in your comments?
1. I love the way I feel right now, at this very moment - peaceful, content, like I can take on anything. (like this list for example)
2. I love writing and telling stories.
3. I love that I can raise my eyebrow without changing facial expressions.
4. My legs.
5. My eyes.
6. My laugh.
7. My voice.
8. I love the fact that I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but still sing at the top of my lungs anyway.
9. The many different "sides" of me.
10. My sense of humor.
11. I love my love of hot fudge brownie sundaes.
12. My smile.
13. My life.

English Majors sometimes don't conform to the rules of the 'road'. Linguistics classes teach you to rebel.
A clean house is the sign of a wasted life.

Keeping a house perfectly clean would take all your time. I've got better things to do with my time.
Loved your T13 list...it was original and very good.
