Inherited family quirks

This may help the family understand where they get a few of their quirks from, me or dad. Craig is mostly a maintainer and I am mostly a creator. I sure hope some of you have a little of both, because then you are perfect.
I have discovered that it is best if I work on becoming a better maintainer, such as learning to clean up quickly after meals, cooking even though I would rather be sewing, find a place to put essentials, and dejunk all the unnecessary stuff in my life.When my trainer once said after being the perfect weight and fitness, "You now are on maintenance." It put me totally out of my comfort zone and I had no idea how to maintain. I have discovered anytime I go on maintenance mode, I just get lost in the day to day and totally get distracted by another new project.
I have never been good at excelling in one subject. I love to learn something new all the time and as soon as I feel I know enough about that subject, I move onto the next one. So consequently I know how to do many things, but only the basics and then I turn around and teach the basics to others. As least I know more than they do in the beginning. I am usually only a few steps ahead.

So many things my mom used to do (that I made fun of her for) I now find myself doing. I'm pretty sure she's cursing me from beyond the grave. So you can look forward to that.
