In school, I was the quiet one and hated to speak up in class. Now, I can't keep my mouth shut; just ask Mr. Cottage. It doesn't phase me at all to get up in front of strangers and talk and talk.
I'm one of many who doesn't like to be around bees, but look above and below as I stood among many of them yesterday, taking these photos of them congregating around this floral bush in our yard.
I'm terrified of height! I can fly on a plane or stand on an enclosed structure and look down and out, but if there's a large window that goes down to the floor and everything looks open, then I can't be anywhere near it. Too scary!
I was flying to Japan on 9/11 and got stuck in Chicago. I ended up getting home at 9:30 pm that evening by car, and I eventually flew to Japan on October 30; and then two other times.
I used to weave baskets and traveled around for juried art shows. I've been down to Stone Mountain, GA (where I made thousands in just one day, for real!), but at another show, which was in Michigan, I sold one $10 basket for the entire day. I've been to shows throughout Illinois, northern Michigan, Ohio, and Minnesota. I hate to say it, but I'll never do another art show again. It's just too much work and too much uncertainty. I applaud all these fabulous artists who travel around like I use to.
Put me on a cruise ship and I would gladly sail the world. I love traveling and I love cruise ships.
So now you know a little bit more about me than when you started to read this post.
