Heights. So my husband likes to torture me while I'm high in the air (dangling in this gondola, winding my way up to some steep landmark) and document the moment for his later enjoyment. I'm also notoriously challenged by knowing how much food is "too much," so I wind up with a lot of leftovers, that I usually forget about and then throw away. I abhor healthy eating; I did recently let kale into my life, but I hold firm that whole wheat anything is a waste of my time. I've been told I'm a reckless driver, so I think I'll stay in New York for a while, or at least until the statute of limitations runs out and I can drive in Maine again. My worst habits are drinking, smoking, and avoiding the dentist, but I did schedule a cleaning for next month. (Where they will yell at me for continuing to drink and smoke, so I should probably just cancel my appointment now, right?) To be honest, I'm also very bad at writing about myself.
Selling things besides myself. So if you'd like me to write about something else for you, get in touch.
