Canada’s Got Talent, Too
October 26th, 2006
Update - last night I slept on my T-shirt sheets, and I looooove them! So do my kitties, first time both of them slept on my other pillow together. Aw.
The other night I was reminded of a talent I have. I don’t think anyone is actually aware that I have this incredible gift, and I figure it’s time I unleash it on the world.
First I will give you a few scenarios:
Example One:
Let’s say you feel like eating some cheese and crackers, topped with slices of pickle. So, you slice up some cheddar, slice up a couple pickles, and toss a handful of crackers on a plate. You take it into the living room and sit yourself in front of the TV and start assembling your cracker/cheese slice/pickle combos.
Example Two:
You work in an office and there is a mail-out that needs to be done. You print off a stack of letters and grab a bunch of envelopes from the box and head to your desk to start stuffing them.
Example Three:
You want to print some brochures on coloured paper. You put an estimated amount of paper in the printer and set your computer to print X number of copies.
Example Four:
You’re putting together a photo album or a scrapbook. You take a stack of photos or articles that you want to include, and start putting it together.
And my talent?
Example One:
I will end up with the exact number of cracker/cheese/pickle components. There will not be an extra cracker or shortage of pickles and no cheese will stand alone.
Example Two:
The number of envelopes I just happened to grab will be the exact number I need for the letters.
Example Three:
The stack of coloured paper I put in the printer without counting will be the same as the X number of copies I am printing.
Example Four:
I will have taken the exact number of photos or articles to fill the book without having counted anything out beforehand.
I know, I know… I don’t know what to say either. It is simply astonishing and I am often in awe of myself over it. There must be a way I can make money from this… any ideas?
Ha ha! That is an awesome talent! Seriously, I’m very impressed and I’m sure that talent comes in handy. I for one hate when I put ketchup on a plate for my fries and then run out of said ketchup before I finish the fries. Then I try to put more ketchup on the plate and end up finishing the fries with way too much ketchup still left on the plate. I know that’s a silly thing to hate but it happens all the time! So would it be safe to say that you don’t have that problem?
Well, I don’t know about cash, but if you played canasta, you could win some points for getting the exact right number of cards.
As for the cheese, crackers, and pickles - gross!! But if I’m ever pregnant, I’ll have you make up that snack for me!
I thought I was the only one that did that! It doesn’t happen all the time but most of the time.
The divas continue to be characters. Keep the pix coming!
Lynne, yeah, I do pretty good with the ketchup thing too. But I suck at the cereal/milk ratio like most people!
Michelle - my mom plays Canasta and kicks Bob’s butt. That must be where I get it from!
