i don't mean the really important kind of rich - rich with blessings - i mean the really, really, REALLY important kind of rich........RICH!
apparently, i have a lot of good ideas, but none of them has ever dawned on me as the really, really, REALLY important kind of good - the RICH KIND OF GOOD!
i was blessed with a good brain, a decent personality, a fair command of words, and a sense of humor that will keep your party going for about another 5 minutes.
what i apparently wasn't blessed with is the good sense to know that a good brain, a decent personality, a fair command of words, and a sense of humor that will keep your party going for about another 5 minutes are all attributes that are, get ready for this.........mar.ket.a.ble.
MARKETABLE!
turns out, all those times i threw something together in the skillet and called it "dinner?" i coulda had my own t.v. show! or, at least, a stinkin' cookbook. (which, just my luck, prolly only woulda been sold at Borders.)
those times i made you laugh? joke book, nancy. joke. book.
when i see the irony in practically every living cell on earth and i blog about it? mon. ey., nancy...........mon. ey.
the fact that i have synesthesia and i can taste sounds........ plus i can cook? are. you. kidding. me??????? - MONEY!
but despite all these so-called "talents" that i posses, i have never looked upon any of them as avenues to cold, hard cash.
i like to think that's because God blessed me with a very enviable amount of stupidity, too.
