Things I Suck At

Wow.  Where did Tuesday go?  I went to bed Monday night, and got up with great expectation of all the amazing things I was going to accomplish today and *poof!*, it was 8:30 on Tuesday night.  Just enough time to write down the top ten things I suck at.  (Today, that is).  I reserve the right to amend this list at any time.  Or add to it, if I find that there are eleven or twelve things that I suck at.
  1. Time management.
  2. Exercise.
  3. Wrapping presents.
  4. Cleaning up cat barf.
  5. Patience.
  6. Writing lists with more than 10 things in them.
  7. Being unselfish.
  8. Not running my big mouth.
  9. Liking religious people.

Well golly, would you look at that? I guess there were only nine (ha, ha!).  

What do YOU suck at?

  2. I'll pass on the top ten things we suck at that an "anonymous" Roadie emailed to me. Thanks for playing!

    1. Sticking to a budget
    2. Sacrificing “my time, and my money” for someone else. (Is it really my time or money though?…Ouch!)
    3. Remembering names
    4. Keeping my feelings from coming out my mouth
    5. Saying “I appreciate you”
    6. Saying “I was wrong” (No problems saying what I think is wrong with someone else though. How does that work exactly?)
    7. Doing what I don’t “feel like” doing. (Cleaning, yard work, etc.)
    8. Enjoying Brian’s “big hair band” music with him.
    9. DIRECTIONS (I always park on the same lane at Walmart every time I go, so I can remember where I left my ride)
    10. Math

    I am just keeping it real!

    10. Exercise and being healthy
