things I am not terribly good at

* pretending... if i am not sorry then i jolly well am not! if i am upset so i am. i find it tedious and very hard work ( hard work and i should not exist on the same plane but we do:( )
* housework... oh I can clean, cook and all but I absolutely hate it. people should not live in filth and eat everything raw but i find both chores terribly unfascinating and would i could get away with not doing them. if i could be paid for reading and watching tv, i would be the richest person on this planet. oh wait, i don't get paid for cooking and cleaning either.
* keeping friends... i find it so easy to make friends but really hard to keep them... i suppose i don't have the stamina for the long haul
* keeping my mouth shut... which is exactly why i am writing this
*keeping my cool in morning traffic... this morning i tried not to shout and i had a raging headache by the time i got to work. i would rather look crazy and hoot like there is a fire
*pain... i can live with it but i am never gracious about it
* resisting chocolate and red meat... need i say more?
* tolerate... i try but its hard
