You Are Good At Things.. Book Review or Something..

Posted on by

While browsing Barnes and Noble I found this interesting book in the Self Help section called "You Are Good At Things a Checklist"  by Andy Selsberg.  It caught my eye and made me laugh a little..   The book is a series of things to check off to make you feel better about yourself.  Here's some of that I thought I could check off..

  • Noticing new haircuts
  • making it to the hotel pool before it closes
  • Sensing how many sheets the stapler can handle
  • Inserting swear words into regular words
  • misquoting
  • wearing pants
  • Estimating if a crowded elevator is overweight
  • Applying reverse psychology
  • Applying double reverse psychology
  • Making dismissive gestures
  • Announcing you could make a salad at home for cheaper
  • Tying shoes and ties on someone else's body

Having very specific ideas about how you like your tea

  • Laughing at yourself
  • Signing documents on other peoples backs
  • Pulling a Fast one
  • Assuming it will all be online
  • Living the dream

Some of the one's I haven't done… but thought were funny:

  • Getting out of bone marrow donation requests
  • Telling Professional Coaches what to do (I had quite a few old boyfriends that could do this)
  • Knowing just how high you can toss a baby before it gets dangerous.
  • Being fearless about trying other people's prescriptions
  • Straddling the line between appropriate and inappropriate butt patting
  • Scrubbing away shame in the shower
  • Wiping that smirk off your face
  • Knowing the appropriate level of participation and enthusiasm when at a worship service not of your religion.
  • Following through with threats to write a children's book.
  • Announcing whenever you're keeping it real
  • Catching drifts
  • Keeping the line moving

This is a cute and funny book.. It will make you laugh.

Sunday-Monday To Do List

The Man and #6

Today – tonight's To Do list is gonna be a strange one… We are currently "rooming" in with #6 for the evening. The hospital here would like to see if the Man and I still "got it"… and by 'IT" I mean our parenting skills.

You'd think that the parents of 5 children.. would have learned SOMETHING in the last few years.. but maybe not. Some people would think we don't learn too fast since we are STILL having children…

Tonight #6's nurse said to me; "I'd like to watch you change his diaper and take his temp." I looked around the room and waited for Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say: "You've been PUNK'd!" but he didn't.. Did I mention that the nurse was the same age as #1…. ON TO the list..

  • 11:00pm Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • 2:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6 watch nurse draw blood (I won't be watching..)
  • 5:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • 8:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • Wait the rest of the day for them to test and approve me as a parent…
  • Remind #1 to remove all animals and sanitize the house
  • #2 should arrive sometime in the early am to ride home with #6 in the backseat.
  • Have #2 run into Target and buy the industrial size bottle of hand sanitizer.. the nurses have scared the poo out of me about germs and babies.
  • Before bringing #6 in the house rub hand sanitizer on everything.

What’s Going On.. Because.. it’s Monday
