She is a riot, and has a great blog!
so here goes...my talents!
1. I am a good Mom. I love being a Mom and I love my little girl, we do a lot of family stuff and make a lot of our own traditions. We have fun but there is definitely discipline and rules to go by. She is an only child so I know she is spoiled a bit, but she isn't a spoiled brat! She appreciates things, and Justin and I have tried to instill in her morals, doing what is right, having manners, and being good to others. we'll see how much of this goes out the window in her teenage years:O)
2. I have a sports MIND. Too bad I don't have the body! lol but I love sports, love to coach sports, (I've coached Softball since I was 17) and try to play here and there, if I get the chance. I love the strategy, competition, and comradery. I am pretty good at fantasy sports too. I can read about my favorite teams all day! I love to cheer on my little girl, whatever sport she is playing...and I can throw a mean spiral too!
3. I am crafty and love to paint, scrapbook and do crafts. I have 3 paintings of mine hanging in my house, I have painted and personalized step stools for all my niece's and nephews with their names and favorite colors, I've done piggy banks, shelves, and chairs. I have a lot of fun with thinking up good things to paint!
4. Good sense of humor/smart ass/witty
5. I have become a pretty good cook, nothing too fancy, but my Fried Chicken is a family favorite. close seconds goes to my pork chops, fried potatoes and hamburger pie. This summer I started grilling salmon, and we love salmon night! I've come a long way from Hot dogs and spaghetti O's
6. Movie Trivia master! I love Movies!
7. I can get you organized! I do this at work all the time, organizing 7 stockrooms and stores. Coming up with better space saving ideas that are functional and workable.
8. DO IT yourself-er! I love to change things in my house...Erica's room has been painted and re-decorated 4 times already, and she is only 11. When I was off work for 4 months in 2004, I redid my bathroom, had the bath down to the 2x4's and put in a new tub surround kit, a new sink and painted the tile. Justin stresses out so bad when I talk about doing stuff...my kitchen is screaming for a make-over!
9. I LOVE taking pictures and have taken some pretty good ones of the ones I love, and landscapes. I am not usually the traditional type, I like mine with a little twist!
10. I've once been told I'd be a good motivational speaker, I do tend to find the good in people, and I think from Coaching sports always finding something nice to say to some one is important!
11. I'm kinda strong, I have moved so much stuff around my house, down into the basement and up from the basement, Justin is amazed sometimes..saying how the hell did ou do that. I once Moved a couch and love seat from my front room on to the curb, totally by myself, when i got new stuff. I just couldn't wait for my big guy to get home, so I did it!
12. I'm tech smart...I can hook up your DVD player, camcorder, camera, whatever...a couple weeks ago I organized my computer corner, and got fed up with the cables so unplugged EVERYTHING! my fax, printer, computer, wireless, modem, computer, EVERYTHING... and got it all back together and working no problem! I warn Justin, If he misses one of Erica's Hockey games for Football on Sunday, I will sabotage the TV so he won't be able to watch it anyways! I've already hid the remotes on him!

First of all, is your hamburger pie anything like your moms? That was my favorite dish or hers: Mashed potatoes, hamburger and corn all layered ... mmm mmm good.
