Hm. Well. It's kind of funny, because one of the very things that I am not good at, is talking myself up. I gotta be honest here and say that the list of things that I suck at would be way longer. And probably infinitely more interesting. Maybe that will be my next post. Ah, I suppose in the course of 42 years or so, I have picked up a little bit of knowledge and insight on a few things. So, I'll try to stretch that into 10 actual things.
1. Being patient. I can wait a lot of things out. I mean, like I can wait a looong time. I'm a major hanger-onner. That could actually be a bad thing.
2. Organizing. I love organizing things. Mostly in my mind. I could be better at it. I didn't say I was a great organizer - just good. I like thinking about how to organize things quite a bit, however actually implementing the organization somehow gets pushed to the side most of the time...
3. Daydreaming. I am a professional day dreamer. I consistently have a made up movie playing in my head pretty much all day long. Starring me. And the things I wish for, or want to do/be.
4. Entertaining kids. Ah, I have had a kid on me pretty much constantly for the last almost 23 years. (omg. 23 years is a shocking amount of time.) I guess I have had to come up with a few tricks over that time to keep them busy and/or entertained.
5. Training dogs. This is a little silly, but I am great at teaching dogs tricks and commands. Maybe I should be a dog trainer! Nah... even though I like dogs, I am not a very good petter and dogs like when people pet them.
6. Listening. I am a great listener, mostly because I am pretty quiet and empathetic. I don't interrupt and I don't steal your thunder. I just listen. People tend to spill a lot of shit to me. I particularly like the validation that I am not the only one who is slightly not all there.
7. Observing. I think my sharp observation skill goes hand in hand with the listening thing above. Because I am pretty quiet, it's easy to blend in to the background and just look at things. I love to look at stuff around me and soak it all in. And I love to people watch. People are weird.
8. Driving. I am a great driver. Except since my driving anxiety happened, I feel a little less worthy of being on the road. I really need to get over that issue, because I like driving! And I abhor the thought of depending on someone else to drive me around. I need to be independent!!!
9. Floating. I am also a great floater. I think it's because I am on the chunkier side. I read that fat floats, and if you have very little body fat you can't float very well, maybe not even at all. Well, I'm just going to say I could float til tomorrow with no problem whatsoever.
10. Napping. I could be a professional napper (along with my professional daydreamer status - it fits). I rarely nap. Seriously. But I love to nap. If someone told me, "You have 15 minutes to nap! Ready, set, GO!" I could close my eyes and make it happen pretty much anywhere, anytime. Ahh. There is no denying that a good nap goes a long way.
So there you go. Linking up to Monday listicles, and maybe tomorrow I'll come up with ten things that I really suck hard at, you know, just to balance out this somewhat indulgent post.
