That's easily the thing I miss most about pre-baby life - having time to putter around and organize. <br />I used to think I was really shitty at math, but now I manage budgets at work (frightening, huh?) and I've realized I'm not so bad. Hmph. <br />Small talk somewhat terrifies me, but I am actually really good at it. I think this is because I used to be an actress and I'm really good at seeming confident when I'm freaked out, which I had to do onstage all the time. <br />I don't know anything about couponing, but I am intrigued. I am cheap and I love deals. <br />Lastly - I have a freakish memory, particularly for words and conversations, but I am terrible at people's names. Except kid's names. I always know the kid's name and never the parent's. I can see something written down and remember it (probably also from aforementioned life as an actress) and know the words to songs after hearing them once or twice. <br />That's all I got.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755446727015047410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728923913945313677.post-42381282587918417572012-01-25T14:07:38.566-06:002012-01-25T14:07:38.566-06:00I am bad at remembering almost everything that wou...I am bad at remembering almost everything that would be remotely good for my body.<br /><br />However, I excel at remembering how much I love french fries.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10623440001907352150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728923913945313677.post-10397251788387237342012-01-25T09:41:29.359-06:002012-01-25T09:41:29.359-06:00I could just copy/paste #3 under "bad" f...I could just copy/paste #3 under "bad" for myself.

I am WAY jealous of your sense of direction! I am like your sister, and I flail around helplessly when someone asks me if something is east, west, etc. I always feel like such a dummy. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728923913945313677.post-86327194178232430072012-01-25T07:30:55.730-06:002012-01-25T07:30:55.730-06:00You are not bad at small talk at all. Either that ...You are not bad at small talk at all. Either that or you are at least really good at faking it. When I first met you I thought you came across as all kinds of confident and put-together, at least in comparison to the living-in-terror-of-small-talk nonsense going on in MY head.

I can think of things I am good at, but it's harder, and I feel awkward or something talking about it. That's kind of screwed up, isn't it?!<br />For what it's worth though I am also shy when I first meet people so I totally get that. That's why I am so excited you are coming back the Blathering this year! We already know each other so now all the awkward times are over! We can skip small talk and go right to braiding each other's hair. In a non creepy way. Of course.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187554679583487835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728923913945313677.post-73287750965833528132012-01-24T12:07:02.728-06:002012-01-24T12:07:02.728-06:00I *tried* the whole couponing thing and have decid...I *tried* the whole couponing thing and have decided it's an all or nothing sort of thing. In order for your savings to really be worth the time it takes to coupon, you have to be a mad couponer. And me? I was only sort-of-half-mad. The math never worked in my favor, so I quit.<br /><br />My sense of direction is also superb and I like to think I'm also pretty darn good at parallel parking. However, unlike you, I *get* small talk and how to make conversation with almost anyone. Maybe that's why we get along - I drag conversation (kicking and screaming) out of you. hahaha.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728923913945313677.post-4112197369178889892012-01-24T11:35:16.471-06:002012-01-24T11:35:16.471-06:00I'm very jealous of your sense of direction.

Before GPS I got lost all the time.<br /><br />Math, though, I LOVE. I went into accounting so I could work with numbers every day. Also, I coupon as a hobby. Because I think it's fun.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261907052119379241noreply@blogger.com
