Sometimes I revert back to about 5 years old, like when I needed my mother to "watch me go down the slide". I am shocked at the results I have gotten from crocheting since I learned how last Christmastime. See how cool these hat and booties are! It was easy. I actually learned how to crochet the modern way - from the internet. Which got me thinking about all of the things (both useful and utterly useless) that I have learned from the internet. I have not put all of these things to practical use, but nevertheless I know how to do them should the need arise.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. There's lots more. My sisters think I'm really smart. My secret is that I will read ANYTHING. I guess one might say that I waste a lot of time reading stuff on the internet, but you know I'm the girl you'll want to have around if you decide to get a boob job.
