Dr. Jaime, PhD in Misc. Friends Quotes

Inspired by Claire Light: What are you an expert in?



I am an expert at...

• Sincerely considering other points of view.
  
• Being able to quote Friends in pretty much any given situation.
• Safely traveling on my own, internationally.  I have never been mugged, attacked, or harassed.  I have never missed a bus or a plane, and people selling crap on the streets NEVER hound me.
• Guessing who is going to be voted off on ANTM and what advice they will give a particular guest on What Not To Wear.
• Asking unique questions in interviews.
• "Posing" for pictures (ex. knowing which angles make me look extra cute and skinny).
• Playing tour guide when people come to visit me.
• Navigating unknown suburban landscapes until I find a Starbucks.
• Guessing who is British and who is American (without looking at passport colors) while I am people watching and waiting for my British Airways flights.
• Scrapbooking.
  
• My mom
• My boyfriend.

This list might look kind of silly.  When I checked out the comments as Claire suggested, many people listed more professional or serious expertise.  But these are the things that I feel I am truly good at right now.  I interpreted the whole point of this exercise to be empowerment.  And I feel empowered by the fact that there are a few silly things on this list, so there you go. : )

I echo Claire and suggest you give it a try.

Hillbilly! Paint in Hair! Lots of Packing! The Ugly One!

It's Wednesday, which means I am a bit late in posting about my shenanigans from the weekend.  But honestly, last weekend wasn't that fun or inspiring.  Unless your count looking like a hillbilly



or getting paint in your hair fun.

I don't, particularly.

In other words, I have spent the last few weeks packing up my little condo, and moving all my worldly possessions over to my mom's cool new house.  (Definitely pics on that later!)

So, due to the fact that moving involves a lot of hard labor, gasoline, and patience, I have not had much fun lately.

Therefore, I resort to one of my old quirky favorites, and not a new find, to share with you today.



Prepare to laugh.  Or, if you don't happen to have the same sense of humor as me, prepare to click away and mentally make a note never to take one of my recommendations again.

Arrowed!
