I’d like to say that I’m a woman of many (hidden) talents. Not quite. I’ve always considered myself good at many things and great at only a few. I’m just an ordinary, relatively unexciting girl with few surprises up my sleeve.
Maybe that’s why I was attracted to my husband.
CandyMan is an extreme – full of surprises and hidden talents – and it seems that at least some of our kids have followed him instead of me.
My biggest surprise talent is that I have crazy-flexible feet. I was in ballet as a young girl, and took my flexibility for granted. I didn’t think much of my ability to achieve an extreme point until my college ballet teacher pointed it out. And while I am no longer able to do the splits every which way, my feet have retained their flexibility.
Such a strange talent, I know.
My husband, on the other hand, has a list of silly tricks that he can do. He is surprisingly talented in foreign languages and can speak over a dozen languages. But his true gem of a surprise talent is that he makes an excellent auctioneer (and loves to do it, too). I suppose it’s strange that he’s had multiple opportunities to act as an auctioneer over the years.

Apparently, my husband is not the only one with a big surprise talent. Green Giant™ has a few giant surprises in store. This week, we tried out the brand new Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips and Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips.
The sweet potato chips were incredible. I tried them with some salsa – and I couldn’t put them down. Delicious, very flavorful, and perfectly crunchy. I never would have guessed that a sweet potato chip would be so good (this from a woman who swore that she would always hate sweet potatoes). The kids were particularly fond of the Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips. I even caught Reese hoarding away the last few chips so that she could have the last bite.
They disappeared faster than I could say Green Giant.
Who doesn’t love a great tasting chip they can feel good about?
