OK, so Channah's thread, "What are you good at?" got me wondering about what everyone is NOT good at. There are so many things I am NOT good at, but some I wish I was.

1. Cleaning
2. Organizing
3. Talking on the phone
4. Sports
5. Drawing
6. Speaking in front of people (give me a song to sing and I'm n my element, but make me speak and I totally freeze )

Well - I know this isn't very farmgirl like - but I'm not good at cooking!!!!

I love to knit, spin, weave, quilt, etc - anything crafty - but I hate being in the kitchen!

Baking no-bake cookies. Mine always turn out looking like something that you would find in the pasture.

Cleaning
Organizing
Being a girly-girl (which really upset my mom)
Not at all artistic
I have a thing about being around a lot of people - sometimes just going to Wal-Mart is too much!

I'm sure there would be lots more if I sat and thought about it.

I'm not good at follow through. I can get things started but following them through to finish. UGH!!!! Not my strong suit.

I lack in patience. I can do a lot of stuff but I don't like to do the same things all the time.

It's all good!

keeping things clean and organized. My house is a perpetual disaster no matter how much I clean and put away. Plus, I get tired after working all day then coming home to cook, work on projects, etc. So stuff gets messy then I'm too tired to straighten up, or clean. How sad is that!!!!

I also can't draw and have HORRIBLE hand writing as those of you who have received letters from me already realize. :) When I make cards I have to stencil all the words because my handwriting is so awful.

Well I am not good at:

Cleaning
exercising
and I have a terrible habit of "waiting until the last minute"
I am def not good at getting things done early, but I do get them done!

Lisa that is SOOOOO ME!!!! My hair stylist begs me to at least try to do my hair. I'm famous for wash and run letting it dry in the wind.

OOh. NOt good at budgeting, and sticking to it. Making myself do the 'yucky' chores, like doing the paperwork for my dh's business.

Remembering things. I am always having to write lists and I still have to turn around and go back to the house to get something I forgot. One day it was 3 times. I should have just stayed home.

Organizing, cleaning, finding things.

Cleaning, I hate cleaning, but luckily my hubby is OCD so he gets to it before I would anyway. LOL I am a terrible cook but I can bake. I am not very good at computer stuff either. But I can drive a front loader and work a back hoe. Guess it all evens out.
