One presentation down and 150 cookies made for the highschool. I'm SO tired today - hoping to rest a bit this afternoon but we'll see. :) And it doesn't have so much to do with those things as it does just not getting enough sleep. :)
Today, I have a fun question - what is your dream job/career? I don't mean what you are doing now, I mean pipe dream, that-would-be-awesome-but-probably-won't-happy kind of job.
I love, love being a wife, mom, and dental hygienist and I wouldn't trade those for the world. If I could have another job, I would open a lunch shop or bakery or dessert shop downtown. It would be a family affair - as in, I would want my kids and husband involved, too. I even have potential business partners who are awesome and amazing friends! It probably won't ever happen (though I'm not ruling it out down the road... :)) but it's fun to dream about! I imagine testing recipes, serving delicious food, getting good critic reviews, and having a beautiful place to do it all. And I imagine being able to use it to give back to the community and to support orphans, adoption, and foster care. In my head, it's perfect. In reality, I know it would be a tremendous amount of time and effort with probably not a lot of revenue at least in the beginning.
Anyway, I'm so enjoying making cookies this week. Most of the recipes are my own or adaptations of originals which makes them mine and I love that! It's so rewarding and I love bringing joy through cooking and baking.
So yes, back to my question: What is your dream job?

I'd get my PhD and be a college professor and part time novelist. I'm not sure if the professor thing will pan out, but I do hope to get my PhD one day after the kids are grown up, and I also plan to be a novelist. OK, I should say PUBLISHED novelist. :)
I am in!
I have always wanted to do volunteer work related to Nursing with travel involved. With this trip to Kaz, I am dong part of my dream!
Two fold:
- a) hit the lotto, build a huge house and foster/adopt as many children as they will allow me too!
- b) start a winery with one of my bff's with a bakery in it.
getting a degree & being a kick butt social worker. :)
I'd love to be a part-time professor and artist.
Alaina - I had the priveledge of tasting your yummy cookies (I sampled the chocolate one) at Covenant today when the Bird family sold them at lunch. The students were calling it the "Bird Bakery"! When I got mine and bought for a student or two, there were only a few left. Love that you are doing this mission trip to the country your sons were born. Maybe someday someone in our family will go back to Russia where our daughter was born. Many blessings, Kathy
