Skillz I don't have....

Number one on the list of Skillz I don't have is pulling off sounding ghetto...it does not keep me from trying though. Fo shizzle!

Number two on the list, Cooking, I do not cook well. Even following a recipe I manage to screw something up. This may stem from another thing I don't do well....

Number three, I don't read directions. I am too impatient and think I can figure things out on my own when History will show I NEVER do.

Number four, I don't handle spiders, rodents or any other creepy, crawly, flying, gnawing thing well. I am seriously paralyzed by these creatures which is absurd as I am 5000 times their size.

Number five, I don't like to be wrong, especially with Jeff, seems like I can admit I am wrong pretty much any other time...but with Jeff I really want to be right.

Number six, I don't like paying bills, not that anyone DOES, but I don't even like looking at the bill. I honestly hate getting the mail because typically there are a few bills in there that require attention that I am not willing to give.

Number seven, I don't like disciplining other people's children, I can manage my own, but I don't like to come across as the mean guy in any situation. (This is coupled with Adults too, but it is called conflict and I avoid it like the plague)

Number eight, I don't research ANYTHING, I am an impulse consumer to the core.

Number nine, I am a pack rat. I have stacks of crap everywhere, Jeff threatened to send me into Hoarders and I kind of cleaned things up, but I am back in the habit.

Number ten. I am scared to try new things, or anything I have the potential to suck at. These include but are not limited to the following: Golf, Sikiing, Snowboarding,Water Sports, Scooter Riding, Soccer, Softball, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Football, and Zumba.

I am stopping here, 10 seems good, but I have to tell you I could keep going AND this took me less than 6 minutes to pound out. Why is it so darn easy to pick out your shortcomings, I am not sure I could post 10 things I am actually good at, I am thinking that list would top out at 5. I think it is important though to focus on the things we do well...and I guess it is good to be aware of our shortcomings and either embrace them or try to change. I know a few of the things on my list will probably remain shortcomings for me.....but I am definitely working on pulling off my ghetto lingo....I honestly believe I can make that happen!! Peace out Hommies....
