Introduction
I guess if I wanted to do any of these badly enough, I could take lessons. But some of these require an innate talent of which I am lacking.
sing
Can't carry a tune in a bucket. No rhythm, I've always had to count when I clap: one TWO three FOUR, very sad. I don't know about pitch and notes, even after watching the Sound of Music a 100 times. Do, a deer...
take pics
Brie is the photographer. I don't have the eye. I would just be happy to take normal, not blurry pictures. I never notice that the shadow is in the wrong place or the big glare off of the car in the background; those things that make my pictures non-picturesque.
home decor
This is definitely a talent thing. A good decorator has a good sense of spatial properties, something I sadly lack; and color, again not my strong point. It would be cool to know how to do fancy wall paint stuff, and where to put the doo-dads.
write well
I wanted to be a journalism major. I wrote for our HS paper, which was as big as the weekly in Houston. I was pretty good with the news stories, but couldn't really turn a phrase for the features. Kathybelle, is amazingly talented in that regard. Maybe she could give me some lessons. Now I just type what comes out of my head into my fingers. Mr. Agee, my journalism teacher, would disapprove.
written grammar

As per my "Youins" list, grammar is important to me. I wish I could remember all of the rules I learned in grammar (pun intended) school for diagramming sentences, etc. Now this is something I could learn from classes, but I don't think I would fit very well in my 6th grade desk.
calligraphy
No patience.
computer stuff
I read all of the stuff put on here by the tech people and I am so impressed. Again, this would be something for which I could take classes, my boss has even offered to pay; but I guess I just don't want it badly enough to go to night school after working for 8 hours.
I would be interested in learning more about networking; IP servers (is that the right terminology) and trouble shooting Windows crap.

Computer graphics
I am a word person, not a picture person. However, I would love to be more adept at working with graphics programs on my little computer.
cooking, sewing, knitting, arts & crafts, stamping, scrapbooking...
Hmmm - not so much!
calligraphy takes a steady hand.... but the end result looks cool! I couldn't do it! Good Luck!

I think you write very well, Pam. I really do. I wish I could sing better too. I love to sing, but I don't think I do it very well. I'd like to learn how to paint or draw things. That's one talent I wish I had.
