Just Between You and Me…I’m Giving Away Books

Okay, I’m scared of the fact that I just typed responses and my computer ATE THEM. Round II…

Sheila, I’m afraid of the fact that I don’t know the difference between a cicada and a grasshoppper. Getting trapped in outer space–good one. Have you seen the preview for the new show that’s like Grey’s for outer space? I can’t watch it. I simply can’t. Not without an inhaler nearby. And pilot lights. TOTALLY. Scary, mysterious,invisible things. I do not like them. And as for the last one…that could be a number of boys…can you narrow it down? Oh, and Mr. D said to tell you hello…

Lynn, so Christy and I are the determining factor of whether your daughter has a fit or not? That is a heavy, heavy burden you’ve placed upon us.

Natalie, your epipen fear sounds perfectly legit. Then again, there are people I’m sure we’d all LIKE to stab with an epipen.

Tegan, are we talking crows, buzzards, vultures? Or cute little finch type of birds?

Dani, puppets are creepy. And you haven’t lived ’til you’ve had a bird poop on you. It’s like a little “hello” from nature.

Brittanie, concise list. Check, check, check. Right there w/ya.

Lizzie, it’s okay to admit your kleptomaniac ways are starting to get to your conscience. We don’t judge here. . .much.

Mark, rejection is a good one. Encompasses a lot. I’m sure it keeps all of us from trying a ton of things.

Katherine, I have a friend who refuses to open any windows in her house at all. She would totally relate.

Harmony, what year of college are you? Have you read Deadly Emotions by Don Colbert? He is an advisor/dr. to Joyce Meyer. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Email me if you want some info. I could talk all day long about this.

Deborah, Ronald McD is scary. Especially when you look at him. Really, really look at him.

Maddee, I’m ready for Gladiator sandals to go out too. Yesterday I had a moment of weakenss and almost bought some. Then I rebuked the spirit of Uncomfortable Shoes and Excessive Toe Exposure and put them back on the shelf.

Mary, you can always judge the depth of a friend’s love by how willing they are to tell you there is something on your face, in your teeth, or you need to make an appt with your electrolysis clinic.

Jennifer A, I am so sorry for your loss of a TV. You have my deep sympathies. How are you making it? And not gonna be at ACFW? WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! This makes me sad.

Katie P, I loved the combo of 1 and 2.

Jennifer, I have no children, but do have a niece and nephew. I will have random scary “what if” thoughts, so i can’t imagine how big the anxiety would be if it involved my own children.

Hannah, my FAVE black flats that I’m trying to replace are FROM Target!!! I can’t ever wear Target/WM/Payless type of shoes, but the heavens opened up one day and I found these ballet flats at Target last year, and we have been together ever since. But now they are gross and must be retired. So yesterday I searched for them on ebay. Nothing. And then just for kicks I tried Target.com to see if they were on clearance (since it had been forever since they’d been on the shelves) and THERE THEY WERE–not on clearance, but who cares!!! I bought two pair and then did a moonwalk of happiness.

Kate–GOOD GOSH. Are you kidding me? i can’t even stand to see someone get spit on in movies. It bugs me on so many levels. I hate mucusy spit too. I could go on about this, but I want. Cuz I’m already grossing myself out. I’m not grossed out easily, but that does it EVERY TIME. And I think you are great and successful and who wants to be president anyway? The world picks you apart and SNL makes fun of you. You don’t want to be prez.

I’m afraid of spiders, snakes and other creepy crawlies. I fear bungee jumping and sky diving, but know if someone pushed me out of my comfort zone into the free falling air, I’d be glad I did it once I landed safe and sound. :o)

Whoa. hope I”m not too late in posting. Everyone’s got sooo many fears. Yikes. Or else everyone wants a copy of another one of your fabulous books 🙂
So here’s a few of mine, quick:
-I’m afraid of growing up to be average, and not realizing my dreams
-I’m afraid of hurting the people I love
(And here’s a weird one) -I’m afraid of being too old for Peter Pan to take me to Neverland. I know, I know, I’m a disturbed child. 🙂 But when I was little, I was obsessed.
Oh, and one more. I’m going on a cruise Monday, and I”m afraid of it sinking 😀

Well I’m afraid of a lot of things but some that come to mind are…
1. Choking on an orange…just an orange I dont fear choking on anything else other than oranges.
2. Getting a cut in the ocean and attracting a Great White.
3. The dark…God only knows whats in it
4. Scoobie Doo, Y? I’m not so sure, maybe the monsters in it?
5. And that one day I shall wake up and find my hair as short as Ellen Degeneres’ and my mom will still force me to go to school.
🙂 Just a few of the weirdest ones, the others are things like spiders and such.

Oh and Rondald Mcd I agree he is scary! Example: My cusins dad (who I should call my uncle but dont because i have only met the man twice) played him in a couple comercials. Now if you have met this man you have a reason to completly freaked of Ronald…this man scares me to the core. So I understand that fear so much!

ok i have tons of fears but most are just weired things like kite flying- i hate kites because i just can’t stand looking up at them when they are so high- im also afraid that i might let it go and it would fly away- im the same way with baloons- im scared of letting them fly away- thats why i just dont fly kites and i never touch anything with helium in it- so not natural. I’m am way more afraid of making mistkes- I get really nervous under pressure- I stiil don’t know how i play sports and actually make it through most games without freaking ou- but when it comes to tests and stuff i freak out becaude im just sitting there and the teacher thinks i payed attention- i didn’t. So thats what I’m mostly afraid of- nothing too terrible-please enter me in the drawing 🙂 oh and jen, I think it would be awesome for you to come to the chritian bookstore Lifeway in fortsmith, or Solid Rock, or Books A Million, or.. anywhere! I saw all of your books there at Lifeway and I think it would be a great place for a book-signing. It would be awesome to meet a local author!!!

I am absolutely terrified of spiders. I can tolerate small insects, but spiders just freak me out. It gives me the creeps. I’m also terrified of heights.

My embarrassing fear is when I have to get up to go to the restroom in the middle of the night in a dark bathroom. I usually have to flip the light on and off really quickly just to make sure there’s not a snake curled up in the toilet, or some poor drowning mouse/rat that is trying to get out and might see my behind as a way to get out. There I said it. Or typed it…out loud for all to see.

I am terrified of lightning, cockroaches and rattlesnakes. i know soo original

I’m scared of rides that go really high and then drop you, small talk, that ghost in The Grudge, that I’ll hate high school, when it’s really late at night and everyone is asleep but you and you keep hearing these footstep-like noises, and evil-kidnapper men. And, of course, everyone is afraid of spiders. I also seem to think that everyone in my new high school class will hate me… weird.

I’m afraid to board my dogs while I go on vacation. I have a terrible fear they will be lost. No one takes care of our children and pets the way we do.

I know the deadline has passed for the free book, however, I assume there is no deadline on posting fears in general. So here goes….

I am afraid of AMISH people. In case you wonder why:
First, have you seen children of the corn?
Second, what is up their hatred of the zipper? I mean really it is an inanimate object…I find this highly suspect and scary.

I am afraid of squirrels. Not the regular ones, but the flying ones. Was almost attacked by one on my balcony once. Called my dad (who lived in another state for help) he laughed at me. This only served to strengthen my fear of being alone and having no one to help me ward off attack squirrels.

Well, I have other fears but those are my top two.
