When I grow up..

When I was young I wanted to be a scientist, actress, astronaut and saxophone player... in no particular order. My dad said girls don't play the saxophone. So, I just figured my dad must know because he is a grown up. My mom took me to get head shots, but never had time to bring me to any call backs ( Thanks a lot Carrie). And after mixing Comet, 409 and some other mystery product I can't remember, I succeeded in created a permanent green stain on my my downstairs neighbor's awning. So, Einstein, I was not. Of course I only knew about the stain, because I fully tested my experiments by tossing them out of the bathroom window. (Sorry Mr. Mike) I have the twisted fortune of being a left brain and right brain. So when I realized I was good at computers, I figured hmm I may be onto something. My mom figured hmm...lots of money, follow the money. So I did, I went to college, got my degree in Computer Science, and hated every second of it. Then I worked really hard to get into the events industry, and now the economy is not the greatest for events. So, that leads me to today's question. Do I still have time to grow up? Or am I all grown up already? I made a new list, and now I would like to be, and event manager for a company that does big celebrity events that give back, a kindergarten teacher, a speech pathologist and an occasional actress. Just commercials mostly. Definitely no Valtrex commercials or anything like that, because what would my grandma say! I could definitely do one of those Everest College commercials. "Hey you sitting on the couch, get up I did it, you can do it. Get up and call, the number". I also wouldn't turn down a heavily scripted reality show either. So, I have decided to attempt at least 2 of these. I don't know which ones right now because I am sort of winging it. But which do I attempt first? And how can I be a teacher, and still afford my car payment? And who is going to pay my car payment while I am paying for school? Oh, to have a time machine and do this growing up thing all over again. As I sit here, straining to stay up and finish this while chugging on a bottle of water, and noshing on raisin bread, I think its time for me to go to bed so I can go to work tomorrow.
