I’m a guest over at Marcia Meara’s blog today for Ten Things You May Not Know About Me where I talk about snakes, KISS, vacations, etc. Hope you can drop by! While you’re visiting make sure to check out Marcia’s books. I highly recommend her Wake Robin Ridge series. Her character, Rabbit, has stolen quite a few hearts!
Today, one of my favorite bloggers and writers is our special guest, and I know you’ll all make her feel at home here on The Write Stuff. (I will, too, in spite of the #1 item on her list! 😋) So please join me in saying welcome to Teri Polen! Teri, the floor is yours!
Thanks so much for hosting me on Ten Things, Marcia!
- I hate snakes (I know Marcia has a different opinion, but I still consider her a friend). I’ll take rats, mice, spiders, insects, etc. any day and have been known to usher some of them out of the house/garage. When my sister and I were children and playing with our dog, we hid from him in a tall lilac bush. I glanced down and saw the glistening of snakeskin in the sun, shoved her to the side, and took off. I did a similar thing…

Teri, your interview was definitely among my favorites from Marcia’s 10 things. That was just so much fun and I learned a lot about you. Bungee jumping?!?!? 😱 Thanks, I’ll pass, LOL!

So happy to hear that, Mae! When I signed up, I wondered if I could even come up with ten things, lol. Bungee jumping was such fun – honestly, I’d do it again if I had the chance.

This is great! You’ve unforgetful vacations! Only one time my vacation was like that when I was around 12 yrs. We were on vacation in hilly regions of Himalaya where our bus flipped because of sharp turn and careless driver. We were lucky nothing serious happened to my family and bus flipped in the middle of the road not down the mountain.

That must have been so scary, Yesha! Not to mention dangerous. So happy you weren’t hurt. Can’t say anything like that has happened to us – yet. I might have just cursed us.

yes it was scary! Bus was full of our relatives, distant, close and some were badly injured who needed emergency operation but we all survived.

Excellent post by Marcia! I feel exactly the same about snakes and, like you, I’m not afraid of any other creature.

I loved your ten things Teri. My mom is deathly afraid of snakes. To the point where she doesn’t want to see them in a book or on TV even. I’ve held a snake before at a fair. Something supervised like that I am fine with but you wouldn’t catch me going up to them on my own.

I’m the same, Misty – don’t want to see them. AT. ALL. It’s a miracle I got through the HP movies, but I kept telling myself it was just CGI, lol.

Okay, loved it! I have learned that you are quite adventurous! haha! I am terrified of doing any of those things so major props to you. My husband is so sad that I’ll never go sky diving with him. LOL! Great post! ❤

My hubby has a fear of heights so skydiving and bungee jumping are out, but he did go ziplining. One of my sons also went, but the other opted to take pics from the ground, lol. Not a fan. Thanks, Leslie!

That’s too funny! I think that I would enjoy ziplining AFTER the fact. I would need someone to just push me off and force me to do it. lol. I think that might be the top of my adventure scale though.

I believe you could remember being stuck under the TV at a young age, Teri. It must be scary so the impression was deeper. My daughter also remember something happened to her at 2-year-old. In afraid of both Bungee jumping and snakes. Loved reading your ten things, Teri.

It sure left an impression on me, Miriam. A few years ago I was doing an escape room with my family and someone needed to crawl through a tunnel and open a door. Since I was smallest I volunteered, but when the tunnel filled with smoke I backed out of there real quick. Thanks for visiting Marcia and reading!
