Denise has challenged all Thirteeners this week to come up with 13 things they like about themselves because "we, as women, spend so much time scrutinizing ourselves that we sometimes forget the good stuff." So I 've dedicated some thoughts to my own self this week trying to make a list. Not an easy task... Here it is, in no particular order...
01. I am friendly
02. I try my best to be a good person, partner and mom
03. I am a good listener . I really am
04. I am organized (well, somewhat organized)
05. I think logically
06. I can work under pressure. In fact, that's when I show my best features.
07. I am impatient, which makes me act quickly.
08. I used to have a photographic memory. Now I am happy at least I have a somewhat good memory! If not, there is my agenda to help me out.
09. I can communicate in Spanish, German, English and Catalan. I can survive in French and Italian. So excuse my English when you visit here, I get confused every so often... and many times I don't even notice !
10. I can adapt to different situations rather easily
11. I am absolutely loyal to my friends
12. I can play the guitar. No musical value whatsoever and only a little bit, just for me
13. I have a blog! I have a blog!
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in the comments, specially if you have more than one blog.

Great list! I did the challenge too.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of #9, the only other language that I can speak is pig latin ;)
A great list! I am jealous of number 9 too! That's cool! How many languages do you speak exactly, besides the obvious English and Spanish?
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday!! :)
Updated nr 9 since you asked - so now you know!

Very nice list. Ich spreche auch Deutsch! I hear you on getting confused - I sometimes speak a mix of English, French and German!
ReplyDeleteI like number 13 on your list. ;)
I knew I liked you a lot Mar, and now I know why! (LOL)...just kidding..But I really do like you a lot and all those qualities come through in your posts and in your comments, too....Great List, my dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat TT - I play guitar too - well I call it playing. You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteWonderful list about you! Thanks for sharing this with us :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Congratulations on being you! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy TT is about birthday facts this week.
Great list! I am still in awe of your linguistic prowess!!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept & your list very much...I think your language skills are awesome! *s*
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I am with the rest, I am jealous of #9.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
I wish I could learn languages like you! Every time I travel, I try to learn a bit of the language. It's HARD!
ReplyDeleteI didn't take up the challenge this week ...but I still did a TT
ReplyDeletenice list Mar
I think this is a fabulous list! I loved #7: It made me chuckle out loud. Turning negatives into positives is what it is all about! Also, the languages were super impressive!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday to you! Feel free to visit my list if you get the chance!
Thanks for participating!!
ReplyDeleteTruly wonderful list...and oh-so TRUE!
Ooooooh.... THAT'S where this is coming from! Man, I'm way off base this week, then. I've posted, but need to pay more attention in the future.
ReplyDeleteWow! You know a lot of languages! How cool! ;)
Great list! I can't believe you speaks all of those languages. I wish I was able to do that, but I can see how it would become confusing at times.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT...mine's up!
That sounds like the Mar that comes across here. I'm impressed with your language skills. I can only speak pig latin and English!
ReplyDeleteI never heard the term being blue meaning being drunk. And someone else told me about the "blue hour," the time between day and night. "Blue" is used in so many ways.
Great list!!
ReplyDelete#9 - I wish I could speak so many languages and speak them well...
xo
Wonderful list! Add me to the many envious of your language skills. :)
ReplyDeletei love your list... i am the same as you on #1-6!!!
ReplyDeletemine is up Killired: Thursday 13 #26
And we're so GLAD that you have a blog!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday...enjoyed your 13 :))
I did the challenge last week. But I'm so in awe of your language ability. I need to work on it more I guess.
ReplyDeleteI think your English is fabulous! I'm so impressed with all the languages you know.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your list, you have many great traits. Is that picture of you? Great to put a face to the blog :) I did Denise's challenge this week too.
ReplyDeleteI love learning languages. My Spanish is pretty good, and French is alot like Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI work good under pressure too. I get alot more done.
I like your #13!:P
Have a great Thursday, Mar!
I feel better about myself, due to your great list!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how the negative self-talk in our heads takes over and keeps us from appreciating the value we have.
I've often marveled how we can put ourselves down, but if someone else were to say the same things to us, we would be completely offended! What's the difference? It's all terrible!
Thanks for the inspiration!
I did the challenge too but had no problem with it (guess I should probably scratch off humility from the list!) No surprises on your list! You are very open and honest with your blog.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could speak other languages, French, Italian and Spanish are the ones I want to learn...setting my sights high! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat list!! Happy Thursday!
Love your list. I am always so in awe of people who can speak in so many languages. What a gift! And lots of hard work too!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Ditto #13....ain't it great!
ReplyDeleteI envy your photographic memory, some people have a photographic memory, others have no film. I fall into the latter category!
Thanks for visiting my T13.
You also do a good Thursday 13!
ReplyDeleteMy TT is up, too.
What a great list. It's so nice to see everyone being positive this week!
ReplyDeleteWorking under pressure is a good one. Not everyone can do that, and when situations arise, you'll know you can be counted on!
ReplyDeleteLove the list.
ReplyDeleteMy ex BIL's girlfriend is from Chile.
Me number 13 too!!
ReplyDelete:-)
Sheesh, you can do so much, my honey.....
[looks rather useless]
but I still loves you!

My TT is up now.....
I love that you play the guitar for just you! :) I asked for one for Christmas every year... Santa told me he's saving, LOL! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteNo 13 from me , I am going insane being too busy this week :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, hope your day is going well.
Friday here whoo hooo
I especially like the "I have a blog" item.
ReplyDeleteNice picture of you too.
Wow! That is alot of languages to be able to communicate (or even just survive) in! Very impressive! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Thursday!
There's nothing like a loyal friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd a blog!
Take care,
Frances
