Here's my list for now: 1. Tune in to other people 2. Figure out where to go or who to ask to do something they need to. 3. Make a nutritious meal. 4. Clean a bathroom properly. I mean right. Not just spritz daily cleaner in the shower! 5. Clean a kitchen properly. I mean, right. Not just stuff dishes in the dishwasher! P.S. That car story? You asked! Some of the fault belongs to the people who didn't teach you properly. :) <em><strong>That's a good list, Julie! I hope you do blog it. Then, tell me and I'll link it here. As for the car...I had an instruction book, and I was old enough to know to look in it. I "own" that mistake :wink:.</strong></em> This is great…I might have to blog it too.

It's actually those things I have a problem with...not the actual assembling the recipe part ;) I'll work on a list! This is a great post idea!! Jessica <em><strong>Hmmm.
