10 Occupations I Wanted to be When I Was Young

1. Teacher
2. Lobbyist
3. Engineer
4. Environmentalist
5. Bookstore owner
6. Psychologist

Pretty progressive for a girl who grew up in a town of maybe 400...

Those were all before I legally became an adult. That's it. No more. I guess I wanted to be a teacher for a really long time and didn't consider any other options until I was maybe 16. Since then (and we'll assume I'm still considered "young"):

7. Wedding planner
8. Interior decorator
9. Various paths in my present career
10. Maker o' greeting cards

A lobbyist? What a great thing to think of. I'm amazed you ever even knew what one was. I sure didn't. Cool list.

the weird thing is that you probably would have been good at any of those things.

before i decided that i wanted to go into psychology, i wanted to be a veterinarian. even now, if i were to change fields, i'd like the new path to do something with animals.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
