Continuing with my new found tradition of 100 Things Thursday, I will list 10 more things from the book
"The Experts' Guide to 100 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do."
1-Sleep (duh. of course I know how. This expert's advice is actually relevant in knowing how to sleep sounder and longer)
2-Jog (I know how. I hate it. not a fan. at all.)
3-Drive a Stick Shift (yup. thanks to my friend Tara and my dad)
4-Manage your Time (I'm pretty good at this. Could be better. But, not bad)
5-Remember names (I'm actually very good at this. Recognizing people is another story!)
6-Balance Your Checkbook (yup. my dad had me doing this for him when I was about 13)
7-Understand Your Pet ( I guess. Either they're hungry, in pain, want to play, pee, or poop. kind of like babies)
8-Wash A Car (for the most part)
9-Change a diaper (I have a child and I'm a nanny. I know how to change a diaper)
10-Learn a Foreign Language ( I know minimal Spanish and would like to learn Japanese)
Alright friends. 1-What can you do? 2-What do you think everyone should know how to do?
I think everyone should know how to forgive. Knowing how much God has forgiven me has been a huge catalyst and motivator in forgiving others.
I have yet to learn how to drive a stick shift! It was an incredibly traumatizing experience trying to learn in my dad's olllld Ford Ranger, and that was 13 years ago!
ReplyDelete1. I can change a diaper. Although, hopefully, those days are coming to an end if my little guy will ever get the hang of the big bog potty. :)
ReplyDelete2. I think everyone should know how to listen, truly listen, to another person/viewpoint.
3. I have no idea how to drive a stick shift. I'm actually really intimidated by it.
Ooh, I still really need to learn how to drive a stick shift!
ReplyDeleteI'm 10 for 10!! Yes!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I need to learn to be humble, huh? :)
Learning how to drive a stick shift was memorable. My friend started teaching me and I did so bad that she dissolved into laughter. I was so moved by her laughter because she wasn't concerned about what I was doing to her car. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy brother was another teacher and one of our sessions ended with:
Me: Stop screaming at me (in a screaming voice).
Brother: I'm not screaming at you (also screaming).
Learning to drive a stick shift was stressful but I love that it was a team effort because yet another friend and uncle also provided lessons.
