    I NEED SKILLS! What a great little invention, this would be awesome for the stupid part of my lawn that is up against a brick planter (that is now about a foot taller than the rest of the lawn)! Clearly I need lawn care skills, I’ve never had to take care of a lawn before and this one is a pain (living in the desert isn’t helping either, although we’ve gotten rid of about 80% of our lawn and that helped a lot).

    And if I get to choose a new skill, MAN I wish I could sing. I love music and have an insane memory for lyrics, it seems so unfair that I just flat out CAN’T SING (and I have a good ear too, so I KNOW how bad I sound when I try). heh. ;)

    I NEED SKILLS! I would love to have better carpentry skills – we’re in the process of buying our first home, and while I can envision all the fun reno projects we’ll be undertaking, I’m lacking in the applicable skill department. Thankfully my husband and his friends are quite handy!

    I NEED SKILLS! (oh man, those look fun!) I wish I could sew. Sometimes I have the hardest time finding what I want exactly – like a curtain panel – and think if I could just sew, it would be done. I am registered to take a sewing class soon, so hopefully those skills are just around the corner!!
