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?

CMA Fest Weekend

I am a big country music fan.  Plus I'm a big fan of live music.  Also I am a huge fan of Music City.  So it's a no brainer that CMA Fest is one of my favorite things on the planet. I feel in love with CMA Fest last year when I went.  It was amazing. This year I wasn't sure I was getting to go.  I was a little bummed. However, by pure accident I ordered tickets for the Opry to see Carrie Underwood on Friday June 7.  I didn't realize that it was CMA Fest weekend until I tried to book a hotel and there were not hotels in Nashville.  Oops. So I booked a hotel in Brentwood and decided to make the most out of my happy mistake!  So Friday, we rolled into down in a ran storm and found our hotel.  We changed clothes and got ready then headed out to the Opry.  We went to Orpy Mills Mall first, I hit up the Vera Bradley Outlet and got some sweet deals. Then we went to the Opry.  It was a great show, I did miss Little Jimmy Dickens...

Miss Megan's Favorite Things

I blogged about some of my favorite things before, but it kind wasn't a good blog and I quit after a few things, so I thought I'd do it again.  If I was rich, or had a super famous blog I'd give something away.  But I am neither rich or a famous blogger, so therefore you can just read about my favorite things and maybe purchase them for yourself.  Trust me, I think they are awesome or I wouldn't be wasting my time telling you about them. Julep Deep Clean  This is my newest find.  I got it in my Julep Maven box (I'll get to that in a second).  This sells for $40.00 on their website . This is an excellent face cleaner.  It cleans all the make up off your face, literally.  It smells a little bit like furniture polish, but I actually kind of like it. Back to the Julep Maven box, if you have 19.99 laying around every month this is a good investment.  You take a short quiz, they tell you what your style profile is.  Every mon...

Joy

Before school started this morning, during morning assembly, a kindergarten boy came up to me with a stamp in his hand and held it out.  He wanted to stamp my hand.  Of course, I stuck my hand out with a smile on my face and said "yes!  I would love a stamp!  Thank you!" Then he proceeded to stamp my hand.  It was lime green and maybe half an inch.  It read "joy".  You can still barely see it on my hand at 4:36 in the afternoon (and many times of washing my hands during the day). I find it ironic that the stamp he had today said "joy".  I could paint you a word picture of this kindergartener and there's many things I could say about him. Like most six year old boys you will encounter, he is full of wonder, life, emotions, questions and most importantly, full of joy.  I could have told the boy I didn't want a stamp, but you see that would have killed his joy.  I'm sure he didn't know it when he stamped my hand this morning that his s...
