October 23rd and belated Friday Five

23. Curtains or blinds?

I actually prefer Roman Shades or no coverings at all, but do have both curtains and blinds in my house.

Friday Five:

1. What was a skill you were proud to learn as a kid?

Writing in cursive. I learned early in first grade, so was surprised when I switched schools and had to help fifth graders who were struggling.

2. What's something you used to be good at, but can't do any more?

I used to be quite flexible and strong in yoga (when I was taking 2-3 classes per week.) Now that I am doing other things more and only sporadically taking yoga, my flexibility and ability to do inversions and binds has decreased.

3. What's something you haven't done in a long time, but you could pick it right back up again with some practice?

With more regular practice; I could be better at yoga again, also higher level math (calculus.)

4. What can you teach others to do?

If I had patience enough, I could teach others about seasonal cooking, bread making, using the mixer, baking, budgeting, organizing...lots of things. I am just not a very patient teacher.

5. What would you like to learn next?

I am trying to get better with French and I would like to learn ASL (it is possible that I will need it should my hearing deteriorate to that point.)
