I would like to understand cars beyond the very basics, and other mechanical and carpentry stuff. And sewing. I can't do more than close a hole, and never very attractively.Natalie J.

I know I did better last year, then lost everything to either the drought or the freeze. And YES on more time!<br /><br />Michele, my grandmother taught me to crochet and Mom taught me to sew when I was fourteen. She said she didn't have time to sew for both of us, so gave me her old machine and showed me what to do. By senior year, I was making most of my clothes. Eating cardboard, eh? Weird.<br /><br />Mary Beth, isn't it funny? We're teachers and still don't like public speaking. People point it out to me all the time, but it's different! And yes, I just rotate a handful of meals. Maybe this summer I'll branch out. My current heroine is a chef. Maybe she'll inspire me.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-91336935493306266002010-04-15T19:47:45.480-05:002010-04-15T19:47:45.480-05:00I wish I could talk in front of large groups witho...I wish I could talk in front of large groups without being nervous.

My grandmother could do beautiful work and I wish I'd been able to learn from her.<br /><br />I would love to be able to fix cars as that would save a ton of money on repair bills.<br /><br />And finally, I wish I could find a way to train my cat not to eat cardboard.MicheleKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395738979569634630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-63694418848307633812010-04-15T05:38:51.528-05:002010-04-15T05:38:51.528-05:00LOL...

And, erhm... I can build websites. I'll leave the car restoration stuff to DH, who is a pro at it.<br /><br />My biggest need and desire is for MORE TIME. So I wish I could create one of those watch-thingies that Hermione had in Harry Potter so I could be in two places at once.<br /><br />I do wish I could cut hair well. I often consider going to cosmetology school to learn.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.com
