Four of Seven

The Wolf tagged me with the silly Seven Meme, so I guess I'll play along. Hope it's ok that I got creative and made up a few of my own categories.

7 Things I Can Do:

1. At least 3 times a day show how this occurrence or that experience is just like in some episode of Seinfeld or Friends.
2. Make a mean potato kugel.
3. Perform an impressive juggling-like routine involving 2 sets of nun-chucks and four blazing swinging balls of fire. (It's way cooler than juggling torches.)
4. Pretend I know exactly what you're talking about when really I have no clue whatsoever.
5. Take beautiful pictures.
6. Understand women. Sometimes.
7. Write half-decently.

7 Things I Can't Do, But Wish I Could:

1. Understand the stock market, economics, or politics.
2. Stay focused on my goals.
3. Make music.
4. Take notes well.
5. Convince frum people that following halacha isn't the most important thing in the world.
6. Live my life with a bit of self-discipline.
7. Know what to say to people to make them feel better.

7 Things I Have In My Life Now That I Am So Incredibly Grateful For:

1. The ability to see the sun rise over Jerusalem every morning.
2. The ability to work in my pajamas.
3. That my boss and I are good friends.
4. That I am able to be paid for doing work that I enjoy immensely.
5. That I still have a full head of hair.
6. That all my material needs are pretty much met.
