A survivor under fire

There is no way for me to lie about this one friends. If you stranded me on a desert island, I'd be a goner. When it comes to life skills in the wilderness, I get lost in my own backyard.

But I am a survivor in other ways. Believe it or not I am very good in emergencies. If it is my son I'm a crazy person, but I can calm hysterical strangers and comfort them within moments. Baby animals who have been hurt, I can rescue them and get them some place safe. I don't feel a thing when I'm stung by a bee and I can run around barefoot on gravel and prickly leaves without batting an eye. Football in cornfields, sure, why not? But, if you put me within 15 yards of a snake I will squeal like a baby pig. Don't even get me started on those big spiders we've got...the ones that bite. Eck!

An unknown city without money or resources. If it is just me and for some reason Brae is safe at home, well I'd try to survive certainly. I'm 5'3" and weigh less than 120 lbs. so really I'm easy prey. But I'm quiet (unless I need to sneeze) and I can hide in small places. But I think my way of surviving would be to befriend people. I do that all the time as it is.

The weather. I might not like rain, but I can deal with it. Wind won't bother me. Extreme heat and extreme cold definitely effect me, but when you are faced with having to be cold or die, well you rub your hands together for pete's sake!

Now. If I am defamed or betrayed and I have to take care of myself to figure out what happened. Well. You don't cross me. Angry Christy is not a force to be reckoned with and the entire playing field changes. I drop all fears and rules. Like a burn notice..."An official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable."

Starting June 28th Michael Weston, a CIA Operative on USA Network's "Burn Notice," will show us how he plans on surviving without resources in an unknown territory.

The tag line of the show is "When spies get fired, they don't get a letter from human resources. The get burned." It sounds like what MacGuyver would have been had he been a hated person. Having to use all your skills to stay under the radar, while also figuring out what is happening.

Thursday. June 28th. Burn Notice. Watch it!
