QotD: I'm Good.

What are five things you're good at?
Submitted by HapaLove.

When I was growing up, my father used to tell me that it might not be to my advantage to be so well-rounded. Thinking about it now, I think he was right - for the most part.

When I was a little older, living far away from my family and working in the dynamic world of advertising, one of the account executives there had business cards made up for himself with the title of "Expert." I think he was just trying to pick up girls, but it's pretty clear to me now that he probably was an expert in at least something. Maybe tomfoolery.

I am an expert in nothing, but am good at lots of things. It depends on when you ask me, but here's a list of five things that come to mind when I think of what I am good at today:

1. Learning new things. I've taught myself to do lots of things by reading books and looking at the pictures.

2. Plumbing. Seriously. I'm an ACE plumber.

3. Interacting with children. I love them. I especially love that they are someone else's responsibility.

4. Interacting with animals. This is sometimes easier than dealing with children, sometimes not.

5. Volunteering. Need help with something? I'll probably do it if I have time and if I don't have PMS.
