To Challenge or not?

I really, really love writing this blog but I can't seem to force myself to just write with no topic in mind. Too many thoughts and no focus to just pick one. I may just interject a personal blog as needed on occasion with shorter challenges - or just steal a topic from one of them and write about that! And on that note...found this one that I think might be short and sweet. I found another one that would have covered all of February but too late to start that one now, so I may save it for a rainy day next year :)

So without further adieu...10 things I wanted to be when I grew up....

1. Astronaut ~ Since I live in shuttle land, it was very easy to imagine going into outer space. Then I discovered how much I disliked science, which kinda threw that option out the window.

2. Writer ~ Because everyone wants to write the Great American Novel.

3. Teacher ~ I loved school, and thought that would be the best job ever. Love all of my educator friends but very happy I am not one!

4. Psychologist ~ Then I took Psych 101 in college and my professor was insane.

5. Singer ~ I actually can sing, but you need to get me drunk to hear it (or be my son and force me to sing to you every night before bed). Stage fright kept me from this dream. My twin friends' little sister and I used to practice singing together and I would serenade my friends in the ice cream shop I worked in throughout school, but I would always make them go in another part of the shop so they wouldn't look at me while I was doing it!

6. Marketing Genius ~ So maybe that isn't a career, but when I was in high school and beginning college, my intended major was marketing. Although I was more interested in the trending aspects, and trying to pinpoint what people wanted before they knew it. I love my business education background but I found I didn't have the right personality to be an aggressive marketing expert.

7. Professional shopper ~ This is a no brainer considering how much of a shopaholic I am.

8. Doctor ~ but I grew out of this one quickly.

9. Mediator ~ I still may push for this one day, but I would need to go to law school and become an attorney first. Mediators make some money...

10. Legal Assistant ~ Which I do! I love the law so it was pretty easy to find a career in it. Thanks to that previously mentioned stage fright, I don't think I could have been an attorney. Standing up in court would terrify me. Although, I am a great arguer....(is that even a word?). I like being in the background and making it all flow the way it's supposed to go, so I am happy doing what I do.

    Think I might "borrow" this idea! ;)

Day 12 - Picture of where you live

Image
Deviating from the list I originally chose again today because it's a pretty boring topic...who really cares how I found out about blogger and why I have one? That should be obvious - cause I wanted to blog. There ya go. Short, boring post right? Instead, I will post up a picture of where I live - or a close reasonable proximity. You want to see my house? Then be my friend on facebook... The place where I feel most at home though is the beach. Miles and miles of ocean surround me and I'm in heaven. As much as I wish I could be someplace else at times, I feel like I need to be around the water. Yes, I burn. Yes, it's hot and sandy and I make a mess in my car on the way home but while I am there, I just don't care. I live in what is technically a city - albeit a really, really small one that is pretty much dying before my eyes. We are super dependent on the space program and our current administration doesn't feel it's a priority so we are losing jobs and our comm...

A picture of my family

Image
I'm from a big family, but my picture is my own immediate world...Me and my son. I've just blogged about my boy, so I won't give a lot of details but I will do a generic discussion about my family. We're a big family. My mom is one of four girls, and I am the oldest of six (through a blended mix). My dad was one of three but it's more extended family on his side because one of his brothers passed away when he was a teenager and the other has never had children. My paternal grandmother was one of 8 and my paternal grandfather was one of 12. I don't know many of the great aunts and uncles, etc. on my maternal side but my maternal grandmother wasn't an only child either, so there are more family members. Two of my aunts have three kids, and one of my aunts has four. I have a ton of extended cousins and whatnot mostly in Kentucky and Indiana. Three of my sisters also have children so I have one niece and three nephews. One of my cousins also has four ki...

30 days of Krista

A few of my friends are doing this blogging project and I feel inspired to start the new year by attempting to get back to writing for fun instead of just writing legal pleadings all the time. If I can keep it up, then I have another outlet for my sadly waning creativity. Plus, being in a long distance relationship leaves lots of nights where I have nothing to do but miss him, and well, this may help distract me on occasion. So for the first topic I am supposed to post a photo of myself and 15 interesting facts about me...Photo of self posted, now onto the so-called interesting facts about yours truly. 1. I hate snow and really cold weather. Ironically, I've just spent a week in New Hampshire with nothing but snow and cold weather...and for the record, the heat is not on if you have it set for 60 degrees... 2. I believe in God, but I don't believe in forcing myself to go to church. I feel like I've seen too many people play the good Christian on Sunday whi...
