Dream Jobs..

I was tagged WAY too long ago by Mumma-Boox2 (AKA Cathi) and true to my form, I kept either putting it off, or forgetting about it..yeah...I didn't think anyone would be surprised to hear that!

I am supposed to list 7 jobs I would like to have..DREAM jobs...heh..this should be fun...

1- Psychologist...anyone who knows me know I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be a psychologist...I analyze people as it is...(yes, I analyze YOU...I analyze everyone...lol..) and I am right quite often...I think being a hairstylist is as close as I am going to get coz it is rough to get paid enough to justify the schooling costs...

2-coffee tester. for starbucks. I may never sleep again, but who CARES!! I'd get free Mochas!! and a hell of alot done as home..

3-Quality control at Woodchuck Hard Cider..this would counter act the effect of the Starbucks job...of course, I would weigh appx 900 lbs..Woodchuck has 200 calories a bottle..

4- book reviewer...I would love the chance to read and get paid...the editing part I may be able to do..I can catch spelling errors, but the grammar and punctuation parts I would suck at...

5- owning a thrift shop. I would give my left arm to get first dibs on the stuff that comes in at the thrift shop down the street from me..the treasures that people have NO idea they are giving away...I would be able to take the cream of the crop and sell it on ebay and be sure that the cool stuff finds good homes..

6-professional test driver...like you see in the commercials..you could drive all crazy, and never get in trouble..and I am sure you would be able to take the cars home...give them a real world test drive...how fun would that be?!? I doubt you would ever have to pay for gas..

7- this may not be technically a JOB...BUT I want to be independently wealthy..coz really, this average life is for the birds..I wanna have OLD money, new money, just MONEY...more than I have now..(yes, I am disillusioned w/ my life right now..bleh)

OK so I am supposed to tag some of my blogging friends...so lets see...
Jamie @ Mrs Sour Britches coz she is cool & I am interested to see what her dream jobs are..
Brooke @ Martinis aren't just for breakfast she may have a sweet new job now, but I know she has to have some good ideas for dream jobs! and she is wicked funny
Staci @ La Chambre d'Orchidee..she makes me laugh..regularly..and I am sure this will give me new insight into her...and that has got to be entertaining..
and my good bud Jenni @ Alena's Path I am sure she has some wicked good ideas of dream jobs..

OK that be all..can't wait to see everyone's ideas!!

I been tagged!! yay! This is a new one on me...so enjoy! and watch for your name!
LOL!!



A) First list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!
B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

SO here are mine!!


  1. I am an animal lover at heart...if I could, I would have a damn zoo..but alas, the hub keeps me w/ one dog...whom I love to bits..lol..and if I had my way, the dog would sleep in my bed should he choose...but again, the hubby is a party pooper..lol..
  2. I gave birth both times sans medication, no epi, no IV drugs, nada. and I would do it again. AND whats more, I would have a HOME BIRTH is a hot second. yes, a homebirth..no I am not crazy :)
  3. I have never lived alone. ever.
  4. I moved 2000 miles away from home when I was less than a month out of high school..I would do it again too.
  5. I have about 30% gray hair. I am 34. that is so wrong. good thing I am a stylist...
  6. I am a cover hog..lol..I also grind my teeth and drool (gross) in my sleep. I also used to snore but since I dropped 31 (omfg..wow...) lbs I stopped :)
  7. My mom was 19 when I was born..she was a gramma at 41...and loves every second of it! My own gramma was a gramma at 44...and they both still look so young :)
  8. I read voraciously. I can knock out an 800 page book in 2 days..of course NOTHING else gets done..lol..
  9. I can remember almost ALL of the birthdays in my family. and that is alot of peeps. BUT no way can I remember their birthday ON their birthdays...have NO idea why...
  1. I am very socially akward most of the time. I feel very out of place and self concious..especially if I don't know anyone where I am at...I have a small core group of friends that I hang w/ and that is it....

Now, for my 7!
Cathi-@ mummaboox2...I truly enjoy reading her blog! It is always entertaining & she just sucks you right into her life :)
Brooke @ Martinis..one of the first I started reading and she was so welcoming to me in the Blogoverse...
Jamie @ Mrs Sour Britches one of my IRL buddies!! Her and i get alone so well..and see things so much the same...
Keely @ The Un-Mom..the originator of Random Tuesday Thoughts..whats not to love?? AND she hearts Buffy as much as I do!! (maybe more...lol..)

Been tagged!!!




By 2 peeps...one is WAY over due..(coz I am a ginormous slacker!...)
and one was just a few days ago!!
The First is from HoneyWine & the second 2 are from Julie @ Cool Mom Guide

and they both call for 6 or 7 random facts..so I am going w/ 7....

1- I have no full siblings...I have 2 sisters & a brother, but they are all half..not that it diminishes it at all...just I am a unique genetic expression! heh..if that is good or bad, I don't know..
2-I had 2 completely drug free deliveries w/ my kids..NOTHING. period. no epidural..no stadol..nothin....and if I would have a 3rd (not likely) I would have a home birth in a hot second!
my labors were 3.5 and 5 (about) hrs long..completely uncomplicated and easy in the grand scheme of child birth!
3- I am a Steelers fan, by genetics..lol..my family is full of fans, and I think I had no choice but to be one!! I LOVE football..the violence..it frikkin rocks!
4-I was engaged when I was 17...and as much as I don't regret it I think I would have heart failure if my kids got engaged at that age! mind you we did not marry until I was 21...but still..I don't know how my mother didn't lose her mind..
5-I broke my ankle almost 4 years ago, BOTH sides and had to have surgery for a plate & screws to put it all back together again...and I can FEEL the screws on my ankle..it is FUNNY to make people touch it!!
6-I did not drive until I was 22...YES, you read right...22...series of circumstances led me to wait, then we moved out of state where a class was required, and we were too poor to afford them..when I had my eldest son, then I got my license...
7-I smoke. Yes, I do! and I am no sorry, nor do I want to stop anytime soon..I dont smoke more than 3-5 a day tho..I can restrain myself if needed..and my MOTHER doesn't know..yes, I am 33 years old and my mom doesn't know I smoke..LOSAH..lmao..

K I am tagging some blogs now!!
