When I Grow Up

My kids in class write in a journal daily.  I enjoy this because it's my way to get to know each one personally.  Some days I tell them what to write about, however the majority of the time they get to write what they want.  They will tell me a story, or something about them and ask me a question.  Monday, one of them told me what they wanted to be when they grew up (I think they said either a teacher or doctor) and then asked me what I would want to be if I wasn't a teacher.  So, I got to thinking about what I would want to do should this whole teaching thing not work out.  This is what I came up with. 

1.  Personal Shopper
This is the perfect job for me.  I get to shop for someone, probably skinnier and richer than me, and spend someone's money.  Plus I'm pretty sure I got a decent sense of fashion so therefore I think this is right up my alley.

2.  Back Up Singer.
A back up singer doesn't have to be the best singer in the world, and I am not.  They get to wear sparkly clothes and have big hair.  I think that would suit me to a t.

3.  Graceland Tour Guide
Graceland is the happiest place on earth.  I know have been there so many times, I can tell you things that the tape doesn't.  I'm pretty sure that if I worked there I'd get in free and who knows, I may even get to go upstairs :)

4. Soap Opera Writer.
I can always use real life drama to inspire my writings.  Also, I'm really awesome at guessing the twists and turns on General Hospital.

5.  Minnie Pearl
HOOOOOWWWWWDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
See, I already have that down.  This would be a great job.  I would get to rub elbows with country singers and get to be a the Opry.  See perfect job.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy.  That is totally not the case.  I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness".  I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man).  This year has sucked.  And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am.  It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again.  Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man.  It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with.  However, I know what I want.  I know what I don't.  And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve.  I would rather be alone and unhappy than in a relationship and mi

So Are You A Fly Strip For Dysfunctional Men?

I think back to the Fourth of July weekend of this year.  Allison and I went to the lake with Britni and her family.  As we were living Greers Ferry we stopped at Large Mouth Pizza.  Almost right about the table we were sitting at was fly paper.  You know the sticky strip of paper flies get caught in?  I now know more than I probably should about them fly paper.  You pull this sticky paper out of a little canister and it hangs from the ceiling.  There this sticky stuff that will stay sticky despite exposure to the air and whatnot.  There's this stuff on there that attracts the flies and once they touch they paper, they're stuck.  There's also poison on the strip that kills the fly, but that doesn't really work for the analogy I'm about to use.  I'm not really sure how I find the guys I do.  But if they have a tick, bad habit, disorder, something like that I will find them, or well they will find me.  Apparently I'm like fly paper.  I apparently attract t

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too)
