30 Day Challenge - Day 8

Day 8 - Something I'm Afraid Of

     Ohh man - how can I pick just one thing.  Maybe I should write about the things I'm not afraid of.  That would certainly be the shorter list.  None of my fears are in any way debilitating - I mean I can pray my way to the top floor in an elevator like the best of them.  These are things that, given the opportunity to practically avoid, I will do so.

• Heights
• Elevators
• Airplanes
• Big dogs
• Little dogs that bounce
• Cats that sneak up on me
• Picking up our chicken wings from downtown Niagara Falls in the dark
• Being alone in the house overnight with only a dog who thinks he's a cat as protection
• Germs - this results in my going through gallons of hand sanitizer after touching any of the following:
• ATM
• Gas Pump
• Pens
• Credit Card Machines
• Door Handles
• Shaking someone hand - this is why I can never be on Wheel of Fortune.  Because when I win, Pat likes to hold your hand to guide you through the bonus round and I'd lose because all I would think about is needing soap and water.  Boyfriend also says I lack the enthusiasm necessary to be on the show.  I said I would call and ask anyway.
• Speaking of, I do not make phone calls unless absolutely necessary.  So I'd have to email Wheel of Fortune.
• Driving with the doors unlocked
• Not having my ID on me when someone else is driving - what if no one knows to call my sister if there was an accident?
• Not having my Blackberry on me
• Any adventurous activity that does not involve walking - we're still deciding on snorkeling.  But that one guy I read about did just get eaten by a shark doing that sooooo. Boyfriend also suggested scuba diving once and I mentioned that bride whose groom drown her in Australia.  He promised he won't turn off my oxygen so I guess we could give it a try.
• Drinking milk past the sell by date

No thank you.

    I'm sure there are more. I realize these are mostly irrational.  I just have an aversion to risk.  Boyfriend thinks it's funny.  Good thing huh?
