This week's 10 for Tues was "10 Things You're Really Good At," which for me is always a loaded question. I mean, just because I think I'm good at it doesn't mean I'm nearly as good as I think I am, etc.
In some ways it is much easier to say what I'm not really good at. I'm a passable singer and runner. I don't have any real fashion sense. I haven't done nearly enough spinning to get to the point of passable yarn, etc.
Here is a short list of the things I'm really good at:
I can follow a recipe, and most things I make (baking or cooking) come out correctly the first time. Correspondingly, I make really good fudge.
I'm good at making up my own songs. I'm sure that this causes many people distress, because I tend to take things like Christmas carols and make completely new lyrics about running or fondue or whatever I'm thinking about at the time. Let the listener beware.
I'm really good at computer things. I learn software programs and other computer-related systems very quickly, which mostly means I should go back to school sooner rather than later and get my degree in, well, computer stuff.
I am fairly good at crafting. I'm willing to try new things, though I will gravitate to things I'm familiar with a most of the time.
I would love to say that I'm fairly good at controlling my yarn purchases, but the truth of the matter is that I'm not. Buying yarn is as fun as buying books, and both of those are 100 times more entertaining than shopping for anything else (but especially clothing).
