You snooze, you lose

Sometimes I think I was born backwards.  I'm always too slow.  I'm just missing out.  Someone has always gotten there quicker and beat me to it. And it's not just because my short stumpy legs have let me down.  

My arms which are strangely long for my petite stature also continually fail me.  It's the fault of those skinny fingers - the ones I like to refer to as "piano fingers" and the ones my mum likes to refer to as "lazy fingers".  

I would blame the three sprained fingers on my left hand, which have been sprained for almost two months now, but I am right-handed. 

Lace and pleats are two of my weaknesses.  Once again, I've found that I am always too slow.
