Everyone is good at something, right? I think so, anyway. It's what makes you interesting. Me, I'm a pretty good cook. I'm also good at trivia. Neither of those are very unique, though. If you asked me to name my most interesting or unusual talent, I guess I would have to say my ability to use power tools (because I'm a woman, people always seem surprised). When we installed the trim molding on our front porch, we set the chop saw up in the yard and took turns cutting the pieces. No one seemed surprised to see Mr. Willoughby using it, but I got a few strange looks when I did. When I tell people that I cut all of the trim for the back porch with a chop saw and installed it with a nail gun while Mr. Willoughby was at work, they always seem to think it's unusual.
I'd like to have one of those talents that entertain people at parties. I'm always envious of people who can juggle or do card tricks. I'm also impressed by those who can sit down at the piano and play Chopin perfectly or pick up a guitar and jam something other than Smoke On The Water.
Mr. Willoughby has some cool, unique talents. He can cut a deck of cards in one hand without setting them down. He can also wiggle his ears. He's tried to teach me how to do both, but my hands are too small to cut the cards and I can't wiggle my ears no matter how much I concentrate. I am double jointed, though, so I can bend the tips of my fingers.
What is your most interesting or unusual talent? I'd love to know!

You know how people "click" their tongue from the roof of their mouth? Kids do it a lot. I can do it REALLY loud. I mean super-duper loud. When I was in choir in high school, we sang the song "Lollipop" and I did the "pop" part alone...without the aid of a microphone. It's loud. I've not met anyone else who can do it.
I can also bend my fingertips...all 8 of them. I forgot that!
I can tie a cherry stem in my mouth...no hands.
I don't use power tools. I don't even know how to use them. I can't even sew with a machine.
(I want to learn to play the piano as soon as we get one)!
I can play the piano fairly well, and the flute.

My mom made me take piano lessons when I was young and I hated it then, but really appreciate it now. I'd love to be able to play the guitar!
I had my master bathroom completely gutted and rebuilt from the studs by my friend J, who is a stay-at-home mom who is jsut beginning to flex her wings as a contractor. Grrlz with power tools rock!
Thanks for stopping back by my blog! I was out of the loop for a while, but am back in the swing of things now!

I laugh loudly. I think that may be more a detriment than a talent.
I'm great at table tennis....(ping pong). Won some awards at it.
And for some reason, rhyming. It just flows.
