You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
― Friedrich Nietzsche

Sorry I haven’t been visiting your blogs. I’ve been in deep work mode. I haven’t had time for reading blogs or a lot of other things lately. Besides working on a new series for a business I’ve partnered with in Florida, I also opened a new online shop at Daily Paintworks a couple weeks ago. That means I now have 3 online shops to tend to, and I must say, it’s a lot of work. If I’m working in one shop, two others are being neglected. I’m stretching myself thin, but really I’m not whining. I’m the happiest when I have a million and one things going on, and lots to do. I get so bored if I’m idle. I can’t stand it. Just ask my husband..it’s probably the one thing I complain about the most..being bored. Well, luckily, he hasn’t heard me say that in a while. 

PS: this is my second time at DPW. I was rather displeased with the site at one point in time, and I wrote about it here on my blog. I’m not going to take the post down, but I have updated it. 

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather, give up all alcohol for the next 30 days or have to butcher your own meat for the next 90 days?

I’m a vegetarian, and I haven’t had a drink in a couple months. It wouldn’t be a problem to give up alcohol.    

2. Would you rather have a boring repetitive job that paid $90,000/year or an engaging job that you really enjoy but it pays $45,000/year?

Engaging job. There is nothing worse that being bored. 

3. Would you rather have $50,000 free and clear or $150,000 that is illegal?

I like free and clear. Never been especially fond of prison.

The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough.
-Colum McCann

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather lose your sense of taste and smell or lose your ability to distinguish colors?

I would rather lose my sense of smell. Colors are important to me. 

2. Would you rather have low self-esteem or high blood pressure?

Low self-esteem can be changed, and isn’t necessarily life threatening. 

3. Would you rather have to wear adult diapers for one year or have any computer you touch over the next two months crash?

I need my computer to work.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.
-Tommy Lasorda

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather spend three day camping in a beautiful location and not see another person or spend three days in a busy city sharing a hotel suite with your brother/sister?

I would rather go camping. 

2. Would you rather spend one year in full Downton Abbey costume or spend the next 45 days living in Kiev, Ukraine?

I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Downton Abbey, but I love the costumes. 

3. Would you rather find a parking space and discover that the parking meter has plenty of time left on it or have someone genuinely laugh at one of your jokes?

I love to make people laugh.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
― Leonardo da Vinci

 

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather have your own action figure or a wildly popular YouTube video?

Oh, I can see it now..artist Katie action figure that comes with her own little easel. hahaha 

2. Would you rather have more than 5 friends or fewer than 5 friends?

More

3. Would you rather get a speeding ticket or two flat tires?

I’ve never had any kind of traffic ticket before, but I’ve had flat tires. Speeding tickets are expensive, but so are tires..but, I’ve got AAA, and they’ll come rescue me. So, I’ll take the flats? Ugh..I hate this question because I feel like I’m jinxing myself.

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.
-Charles F. Glassman

Well, we’re over the one week hump, and it’s all downhill to the finish line from here. Three weeks to go!! I don’t know about you, but I love doing this 30/30 challenge. 

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather have to listen to someone else complain or have no one who will listen to you complain?

Complaining can be so satisfying, so I would rather listen to someone complain..as long as it doesn’t happen allllll the time. Then, it gets annoying. 

2. Would you rather have to load or empty the dishwasher?

I’d rather load because I’m the only one in this house who knows how to do it right. 😉  

3. Would you rather receive $1,000,000 as a sure thing or have a 50/50 chance at $1,000,000,000?

I’m not much of a gambler, so I’ll take the sure thing.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh…

Jack Kerouac

Here are my Would You Rather questions, so you can get to know me better during this 30 in 30 challenge..

1. Would you rather speak in front of 100 of your peers or go bungee jumping?

Neither, but I would pick public speaking over bungee jumping. I’m terrified of heights…and public speaking.  

2. Would you rather have clean socks or clean underwear?

Underwear. 

3. Would you rather do without toilet paper or toothpaste?

I could do without toothpaste..because I can make my own.
