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?

New Year... New Me

First off, I am typing this on my iPad and its terrible.  My desktop is being a punk and my laptop is too. Anyways.... One year ago today I started going to the gym. It has been 365 days of exercising, clean eating, and struggling. I have put my healthy habits aside for the holidays. I decided that I had deprived myself all year and I wasn't going to do that during the holidays. I said that I knew I would gain weight, and I'd be ok with it as long as it was less an 10 pounds. I went to the gym for the first time in a while today. I weighed before I got started. I gained weight. It was less than ten pounds, but I was not ok with it. I worked hard to get that weight off and carelessly put it back on. I did realize that I probably would have but on that weight anyway drying the holidays (you know like if I didn't lose the weight) and it would be a lot worse. I don't believe in Resolutions. They always fall apart.  I believe in goals. I do have goals for 2014. H...

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...

Hello, It's me!

Hey!  Remember me?  It's just been a year or two.  I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say.  Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting.  Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde.  I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything.  Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus.  I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships.  And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness.  Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...
