Every Day in May - I'm So Good!!!

Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about 

or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and 

educational or funny and sarcastic)



I don't know that I am an expert at anything.  I just learn a little about a lot of things.  I love learning new things.  I have been doing a few new things in the last year.  First off, I have been studying genealogy, am I an expert, absolutely not! 

 I also purchased the Rosetta Stone French Package 1-5.  I have been trying to learn French.  Am I an expert at that!  Holy crap!  No!!!  My son has four years of high school French and he says I speak with a hillbilly accent.  I haven't really learned that much of it either.  I need to spend more time with it.  I really believe the program is good, but you have to make a daily commitment and really work at it.

Going back to the genealogy, I really learned alot about my family in a few months time.  I had people who had been working at it for years that were really impressed with the amount I had learned in the time I had worked at it.   I tend to go into things 100%  for a while and then I find something else that catches my interest.  

I was immersed in scrapbooking for over a year and I could do so many things.  I purchased every piece of equipment imaginable.  I even made myself a scrapbooking room.  I have every thing my son needs to do a school project.  He loves that!  I haven't done any scrapbooking for the last year.  I have been trying to make myself get started again.  I have some things that need scrapbooked for my son's graduation next month.  When I decide I will be able to get quite a bit finished in a few days.

When I became obsessed with exercise I got really good at it.  I went to the gym daily.  I was in fantastic shape.  Now I really struggle to get myself to exercise at all.   The weird thing is that I really enjoy it once I do.

I also really enjoy studying French, genealogy, and scrapbooking.  I just seem to need something new to focus on.  My newest focus seems to be blogging and building a social network.  I hope this doesn't get to a burn out period in the next few months.  I hope that I will have made enough friends to keep me going. 

I do believe if I would stay with something for a long period of time, I could become a real expert.
