Yes I Can(nwin)!
I saw this totally adorably blog post yesterday and thought I'd steal it. :) It's the list of things I can do (or can't).
When I read the post I thought of a comment one of my bestest friends made when I told her I was making a quilt out of old Army uniforms.
"You're like a pioneer!"
Heh. Well, not quite.
Things I can do, but would rather avoid at all costs.
1. I can drive across the country non-stop. I'm not convinced I could walk it, but given the right motivation (certain death if I don't) I'm sure I could try.
2. I can take my car into a man-zone when it needs it's oil changed, but I'd rather make someone else do it.
3. I can clean the toilet....(see title of list)
4. I can change a dirty diaper with only a little water and a paper towel.
There are also those things that I just know I can't do:
1. I can't get the lug-nuts off a tire without bouncing up and down on the lug-nut remover thing.
2. I can't tell you what the real name of the lug-nut remover thing is without looking it up.
3. I can't tell you the easiest way to find two-2 digit numbers that equal 137. Alright, I couldn't until two days ago when my friend showed me so I could help Vicbowin with her homework. (137-X=Y)
4. I can't seperate the words 'segregation', 'discrimination', 'prejudice', and 'stereotype' in my mind. No matter how hard I try! Inevitably I use the wrong one.
And then there are those things that I can't do, but I'm sure I could do if given the opportunity:
1. I can't fly an F-16 fighter jet, but....
2. I can't speak a foreign language.
3. I can't travel indiscriminately.
4. I can't seem to get past 130 blog followers.
Hmm, so what can/ can't you do?

I can't feel good about shooing them away.
I can write in spite of the noise of a temper tantrum.
I can't make rice krispie treats.
Love the post.
As a matter of complete blogger snooping I see you are a follower of Bountiful Baskets in SE ID... so is my mother. She's fairly obsessed and speaks of it with such zealousness that I'm a bit afraid she might need to get out more. :)
I'm wondering if you happen to be in the same area as her, wouldn't that be ironic.
