    I need skills!! I wish that I was better at being organized. I feel like I always have great intentions, but I never quite feel that I’ve got everything together. I also am a procrastinator, and wish I could be better at not putting off my to-dos.

    Fortunately, I think I could handle the Shrub and Grass Shear. Unfortunately, I have no skills in the kitchen. Hey, maybe I could figure out how to get the Shrub and Grass Shear to do a little double-duty in the kitchen with some slicing and dicing???

    I need skills!

    I need to learn to take care of our yard. One of the things I loved about our house is that it was obviously landscaped not that long ago. But lately I’ve noticed the bushes have gotten way too overgrown. But I’m afraid if I trim them, I’ll trim too much. Its a fine line…
