I can wiggle my ears. Flare my nostrils. Arch my eyebrows independently of one another and one at a time. Bend the last joint in my fingers if I want to (as a kid we used to call this being double-jointed, but that's not what that is). I'm also very flexible, particularly for someone who's in her mid-40s. I can do back bends and handstands and every yoga pose known to man and, at least before I had spinal surgery this past summer on my neck, I could put my legs behind my head if I wanted. I don't generally want to. It looks too ridiculous.

One thing I've never been able to do worth a darn is whistle, which makes me very sad.

I am also a very gifted procrastinatrix!
