Two Things....

I suck at!!

*

I really suck at picking a container to put leftovers in.  I either get it too big or too small - never just the right size.  If I get the container too big, it is really not that big of a deal.  I seal it up and put it in the fridge and wait a week and throw it away.  However, if I pick a container too small, I have to make a decision:  Either I have to decide that I have saved enough and am willing to throw what didn't fit away, or I have to decide to put it in a bigger container and have yet one more dish to wash.  I bet you can't guess which way that decision usually goes, can you?!?!?

It is all really a moot point anyway.  I never eat leftovers -- thank you, Daddy, for teaching me that leftovers suck!  Trent will eat them, occasionally, but not that often.  Natalie will sometimes take them to school the next day, sometimes not. Most of the time, the leftovers sit in the fridge until  I can't even remember what is in the container, open it up and still, really, have no idea what the hell is in there!  Then - I have yet another decision to make:  Throw the hold container out because ... GROSS... or be brave and throw the food out and save the container.  I bet you can't guess which way that decision usually goes, can you?!?!?

BTW -- I need new leftover containers!!!  LOL

Okay, as I was contemplating writing this post, I could not, for the life of me, think of another thing I sucked at!  I know, right?!?  I asked Trenty and, of course, because he is the best husband in the whole, wide world, said I didn't really suck at anything.  Such a liar -- however, we haven't been married for nearly 28 years because he tells the truth!!  I then asked Natalie...she had a few things!

Another thing I such at is playing catch (of course, my tomboy daughter who is in the Police Academy would say this!).  This is true.  But, since I thought about it, I really hate anything that has a potential to hit me in the face.  For instance, occasionally at kickboxing class, we have to have a partner.  I will hold two paddles and my partner will throw punches/kicks at the paddles.  I flinch, every, single time.   This, pretty much, makes me the worst kickboxing partner ever.  I used to be able to play catch pretty well, but something about that hard baseball/softball coming at my face scares me!  Same thing with fists and feet!  I don't want my face to be hurt!  I am old now, I know hurt and I don't want hurt!

BONUS third thing I suck at --  Waiting.

I am not the most patient person in the world.  In fact, I am probably closer to the most impatient person than to the most patient person.  If you say you are going to be somewhere at a certain time, be there.  If you give me a time for an appointment,  I will be there at said time, how long will you make me wait? Before I had an electronic reader (NOOK), I used to read the last few chapters of the book because I could not wait to find out what happened!  Did the character die or make it?  I need to know....RIGHT NOW!!  I read spoilers for my favorite shows - can't can't wait!  I binge watch Netflix because I can't wait!

The DVR and Pandora and Netflix have completely spoiled me!  When in the car and listening to the radio -- oh my gosh, who knew there were sooooo many interruptions in the songs!  When watching a baseball game live on TV (not live as in the park - I never want those games to end), I often tell the pitcher to throw the stupid ball.  No need to check the runner on first, I will let you know if he is going, just throw the pitch already!  I would rather wait (which, obviously is very hard for me!) an hour to watch any show that has recorded on my DVR to avoid stupid commercials than to have to wait those 2 minutes!  I just can't wait!!

XOXO
