1 - I CANNOT FRY CHICKEN
I'm ashamed . . . I just can't seem to master that skill no matter how hard I try.
Yes, I know how simple it is (or seems) . . . put some oil in a pan and turn the heat on medium high, put some flour on the chicken, put the floured pieces in the hot oil (or grease as it's called where I'm from) then let each side brown. Well I'm here to tell you that I've tried it 100 times . . . and it just don't work for me.
Okay, so get a fry daddy. You can't go wrong with a fry daddy, they say. Oh yeah? Well, that doesn't work to hot either! Just a word of warning - if you ever meet me and I offer you some fried chicken that I claim to have cooked myself . . . be wise . . . politely decline.
2 - I CANNOT WASH WHITE CLOTHESI'm ashamed of this fact too. EVERY time I wash white clothes, they come out tan, brown, yellow, grey and/or spotted. Even if they went in white, and only needed to be washed for general washing purposes.
Do I use hot water? Yes . . . hot, warm, cold, boiling, freezing . . . same results. Dingy white clothes. Do I use bleach? Yes . . .Clorox, Clorox II, and the cheap stuff. It doesn't make a darned bit of difference. I have even tried using the little egg thing. Resuts? Dingy white clothes that smell like bleach.
3 - I CANNOT KEEP MY VEHICLE CLEAN
This is another area that I struggle with severely and I can't figure out why. As much as I vaccuum, pull stuff out, put a little bag in the back for trash just in case I have to swing by McDonald's and eat in the car . . . stuff just seems to always be all over my truck! I hate that! And I envy every clean car driver out there . . . with your smelly-good car trees.
4 - I CANNOT DO A SPLIT
Despite being on a dance team and practicing faithfully 2 and 3 times a week for probably seven years now, I still can't do a split. What's wrong with my legs? You would think they would have grasped the vision by now. Yes, I have sat straddled against the wall for 15 minutes (but not every day though). Results - wide V straddle. Yes I have put my feet on the wall and let them fall apart towards the floor, forming a big ol' V but again, nothing more than that. Yes I have done lunges. Just not working for me. What gives? Wait a minute . . . why do I want to do a split anyway? That's another blog for another time.
5 - I CANNOT BELIEVE you still don't have a copy of The Perfect Shoe!!! It has an unsolicited 5 Star rating on Amazon.com. What are you waiting for?

PS - If anyone knows where I can take a frying chicken or white laundry class (preferably online) let me know as those skills may come in handy now that I'm married!
