Tooting My Own Horn

As I've been unemployed and trying to spice up my resume, I've been making lists of all of the skills that make me an asset. Some of them didn't make the resume cut, but I definitely don't want them to go unnoticed. I deserve some credit for the following skills:

1. I am a phenomenal whistler. Not a great singer, but I can whistle you anything you'd like to hear. Some people can't whistle at all, you know.

2. I have an uncanny ability to choose the squeakiest, most obnoxious shopping carts at Wal-Mart. You know, the one that can be heard three aisles over? Definitely an attention-getter. This can be beneficial if you're having a good hair day!

3. I am not typically a confident dancer...unless I'm in the kitchen. If there's music playing in the kitchen, look out! I'm probably breaking it down! I've definitely got some moves if I do say so myself.

4. Boggle. I dig it. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been beaten at Boggle.

5. I am great at shooting rubber bands. My nephews were in awe the other night. Not only do I get good distance, but my accuracy is impeccable.

6. I don't mean to brag, but no matter what the commercials say, I can totally tell the difference between Coke, Diet Coke, and Coke Zero when blindfolded. (Guess which is my favorite!)

So there you have it. Six skills that are not listed on my resume. Marketable? Probably not. Noteworthy? Most definitely!

Have you seen "Madagascar 2?"

King Julian talks about how he's awesome at whistling all of the time...hopefully you're not like King Julian, though.

I miss you Ami!

Maybe you could start the first competitive Boggle league, Ami! Hey, why not? The Manning brothers started that new Oreo licking league... You could be the World Champion!

Your new blog look is very stylish, but I miss the thoughtful tree pose. Can I get a copy of it?
