elenearielThis week has flown by. This is the actually the first day this week I've actually had time to eat lunch on my lunch break. I've been hungry a lot.
I started a new endeavor, but I'm embarrassed to talk about it until I know whether it will be a success or not. Because it if it's not, then I'll feel silly.
Tomorrow the huge rummage sale at the Presbyterian church starts! It's famous in these parts. I'm getting up extra early so I can snap up all the good stuff before everyone else gets to it.

windandtherain, I'm going to fill your survey out soon! In the meantime, have a meme:

windandtherain, I'm going to fill your survey out soon! In the meantime, have a meme:How well can you:
1. COOK: Very well, but I'm often an experimental cook (who needs recipes anyway?) - and some experiments are bound to turn out better than others. But I've never poisoned anybody. Or made anybody sick, except forsavetheolives , and that was an accident. Really.
2. SEW: I can make curtains and quilts and little fiddly objects with lots of lace. And pillows; I rock at pillows. Clothing, not so much, although I've done it and once of these days I'll master the sleeve.
3. CLEAN: I like to have things clean. Sometimes I even enjoy the process.
4. SING: Well enough. I enjoy harmony singing, but I don't have a clear enough voice to sound good on my own.
5. PLAY AN INSTRUMENT: I can play by ear but I'm not great at reading music, and now I don't have time to even touch the piano, so what little I had has been Lost.
6. WRITE: My handwriting ranges from Fairly Good to Atrocious, and so does my skill at stringing words together.
7. READ: I can unabashedly say that I can read very well.
8. PAINT/DRAW: I can draw a stick figure!
9. TELL STORIES: I can tell a good story if you catch me in the right (read: dramatic) mood.
10. PERSUADE: To my own shock, I can be quite good at this.
11. RESIST THOSE WHO WOULD PERSUADE YOU: I can be very, very stubborn. If my mind isn't firmly made up, however, I'm open to persuasion.
12. FLIRT: Well, I call it being friendly. Inever rarely flirt on purpose.
13. SEDUCE: I have never attempted to exert my powers ... yet.
14. DRESS: I have fun with clothes. A lot of fun.
15. DECORATE A ROOM: The way my surroundings look and what they say about me is important to me. I fully intend to furnish The House That Will Be with a conglomeration of odd items picked up at estate sales and antique malls. And I'm painting the library ceiling GOLD.
16. DECORATE A CAKE: I can do everything except the icing roses ... I never DID get the hang of icing roses.
17. PARALLEL PARK: Erm. That was the one thing I failed in my driving test. I'd be better at it now, but I still avoid it at all cost. Except hey, that one time I parallel parked savetheolives's parent's car by accident, and that turned out well.
18. REGULAR PARK: As opposed to dog parks? I'm all for parks of any sort. (I'm good at parking between the lines too.)
19. CONTROL YOURSELF AROUND FOOD: I've never stuck my face in a pie.
20. CONTROL YOUR STRONGEST EMOTIONS: Mostly. But I couldn't stop crying at the last wedding I went to, it was so beautiful, what the heck was up with that??
21. TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN: I like to wave at kids and make funny faces at them from across the room. And I'm good at holding sleeping babies.
22. MAKE A CUP OF COFFEE: I will make a better cup of coffee when I get my moka pot.
23. MOTIVATE YOURSELF: Deadlines help.
24. ORGANIZE: I am the Queen of Organization.
25. MAKE A DEADLINE: I always meet deadlines. Mostly. Almost always. At least at work. Sometimes I make myself new deadlines.
26. MAKE OTHERS FEEL COMFORTABLE: Sometimes the mood strikes and I'm awesome at it. (Most of the time this happens at work.) When I'm uncomfortable, then there is no hope.
27. WRAP A GIFT: I often make my own gift wrap.
28. DANCE: I was thrown into my first ball with about thirty minutes previous practice. I danced for six hours and didn't fall over, step on my partner's toes, and I only lost one shoe.
29. SWIM: I can keep myself from drowning, but being in water makes it hard for me to breath (all that weight pressing on my lungs? Or something?) so I've never gotten very good at it.
30. DEBATE: In writing yes, in person not so much.
31. DEFEND YOURSELF PHYSICALLY: As soon as I get that concealed weapons permit ...
