Top 10 "Chicky Things" that I suck at, and 10 useless things that I Totally Rock at!

A running list of things that I just can't seem to get a handle on, yet other women don't even think twice about!

1. Finding lost items.
2. Finding items that are directly in front of me but obscured by, say, a jug of milk.
3. Tying bows. I tend to over correct to the point of extreme floppiness.
4. Remembering to cut my children's fingernails.
5. Walking in heels. (actually walking without tripping in general)
6. Charging my phone. Or finding my phone. Please refer to item #1 for more details.
7. Buying any kind of personal items, even toilet paper.
8. Correctly applying fingernail polish.
9. Getting my hair to do anything other than au natural.
10.While I don't think I suck at housecleaning, it happens so rarely for me that I can't be sure...

and yet, I Totally Rock at:

1. Multiplication. Sometimes I multiply numbers for fun. I also like percents, fractions, basically all numerical operations. They are so rational. (Or irrational, teehee.)
2. Speed reading.
3. Seeing the forest instead of the trees. Trees being dirty dishes in my sink. See # 10 of my previous list.
4.  Finishing other people's sentences. Sometimes stranger's sentences. Usually with the wrong words.
5. Mixing drinks.
6.  Short bursts of creativity that litter my house with half-finished projects. See # 10 of my previous list.
7. Teaching my kids creative alternatives to "bad" words. "Great Snakes!"
8. Filling endless notepads with quotes, ideas, short stories, and poems.
9. Stepping over toys instead of picking them up. Again, please see # 10 of my previous list.
10. Finding the perfect, most tickly spot on my children.
