Thursday Thirteen - Things I'm good at

Thirteen Things Jessica is good at Two Thursdays ago I wrote about things I want to improve about myself. In fact, I spend a lot of time on this blog talking about that particular topic. So I thought I'd try to come up with 13 nice things to say about myself. Since self-deprecation is an integral part of my personality, I'm not sure I'll make it . . . 1. I'm smart, but not so smart that it's annoying. 2. I'm funny, but not so funny that it's annoying. 3. I make a mean baked ziti. 4. I can carry a tune. 5. I knit nice baby blankets. 6. I'm good at baking - so long as it isn't some fancy pants Martha Stewart recipe involving kumquats or something. 7. I'm a pretty good dancer (not "best dancer at St. Bernadette's" good, but I can hold my own). 8. I can talk faster than almost anyone I know and still be understood (sort of). 9. I type 80 words per minute. Now if I could only think that fast . . . 10. I have a great memory for song lyrics. They might not always be the right lyrics, though. Sometimes I just make up words if I can't figure out what it is. 11. I'm a nice person. Most of the time. 12. I can use the word "penultimate" in a sentence. This is the penultimate item. Really. 13. I apparently don't have an overly-inflated ego, judging by how hard it was to finish this list. Links to other Thursday Thirteens!
