LOL ... I see I''m the opposite of you braggy-wise ... thought it was interesting how much my perspective has changed over the years ... but my FAVE hysterical memory was the "sewing skills" period. At that time I''d heard that everyone has a special gift, and I was pretty sure mine was superior stitchery. That is, until I was set straight by a particularly ambitious/deluded "full velour sweatsuit with piping" project. The devestation was right up there with figuring out I did not have the right stuff to be a pro skateboarder/Miss. America.Date: 3/31/2009 2:19:30 PM

Pah.
Deco, I sewed for years, so I understand how a "full velour sweatsuit with piping" project could BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES. I sewed my formal satin gown for my piano recital. I took piano for 12 years and could barely read music (don't ask me how). At my recital, both my recital piece and recital dress were nothing to write home about. In fact, it all was just barely hanging by a thread!!Date: 3/31/2009 2:36:26 PM

Ditto on everything. (shocking!Date: 3/31/2009 1:59:18 PM

I'm probably too self deprecating to brag/boast about anything. But if there was one thing, it's probably how well TGuy helps Amelia. I probably say it more out of shock than anything, lol. Plus some of the fathers in my circle of friends are SO BAD when it comes to pitching in that it makes TGuy look that much better.
Oh, and I speak highly of my mom and brother.
Ditto to both! My husband is fabulous, and I have a difficult time trying to keep a lid on it for other, less fortunate girlfriends.Date: 3/31/2009 2:26:06 PM

Husband - I can''t help it, he''s amazing. I have such a hard time stopping myself from saying ''Sorry, I don''t have that issue!'' when my friends complain about their SOs.
The other thing that I brag about is my work. I''m really proud of what I do.
I like this!!Date: 3/31/2009 3:42:52 PM

Well of course my DH and my boys.
I don''t really brag about this per se, but I am proud that I can almost always find a great bargain on what I am looking for. My friends call me all the time with requests to find them things discounted.
