So my wonderful friend Christyn publishes a Top 10 on Tuesdays and I didn't really get to blogging this week so I thought I would do something along those lines.
Lately we, my group of great girlfriends, have been blogging about more personal things and I like that. I find other people's lives fascinating. On that note I thought I would do a Top 10 Things I am Really Bad At List... we are all good at so many things, but there are just some things I cannot do.
10. I cannot make lasagna, sure I can whip up any other pasta dish without a hitch, but Lasagna is a no go in my kitchen.
9. I can't keep a garden alive... nope I love flowers but ask me to plant some and maintain them and it's all downhill.
8. I cannot seem to remember phone numbers any longer, my cell phone has ruined me, I can only remember the numbers that I learned before having a cell and most of those aren't even in use any longer.
7. I don't know how to start a fire. I can light a match and all but I have no idea how one is supposed to be built, I know there is something about a tee pee, but I am clueless as to how it all works.
6. I can't sew. Sure on paper, no problem, but to actually make something that requires anything besides straight lines it's a no go.
5. I don't remember birthdays, I write them down with the best of intentions and then they just get past me. It's not because I don't love these people, I just forget and then I feel so stupid when I remember and have to send something belated. I guess it's the thought that counts.
4. I cannot use an electric can opener, these little modern devices throw me for a loop, I have yet to make a can open with one.
3. I can't parallel park, I never learned how. It's sad really.
2. I cannot make coffee.
1. I am incapable of clapping in time to music. I can tap my foot in time, but clapping in time, that's different.
AH HA, i CAN start a fire and can give you a lesson! WELL, not the car fire kind with the mirror and the sun - hee, hee! REALLY, i DO know how to start a fire with wood, in a fire ring, at a campsite and YES, tee pee formation, VERY important! and YES, i take a LOT of pride in that - can you tell - HA! way to early in the morning for me......hugs, rach

ReplyDeleteCount me in for #s 2,8, and 9. :)
ReplyDeleteso nice to see the tradition is catching on :)...I always seem to screw up lasagna too, always make too much inner stuff and can't fit it all in the pan...
ReplyDeleteI love this! The music one is really interesting and gardening is a no go for me as well. I used to be able to keep a plant alive, but then I had kids. Now I have to worry about keeping them alive =)
ReplyDelete:-) I am so totally with you on #s 5, 7, and 8. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I don't find most of these particularly surprising... well, maybe the lasagna because I thought you could cook anything. And the music, because I thought pretty much everyone could clap in time.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....
