When I grow up......

I always wanted to be a teacher. But once I figured out how much I HATE school, that SO changes. But only a little bit. There has always been this thought in my mind that maybe I will become a High School World History teacher. It'd be amazing! But along with that comes this list...that I'm contemplating for careers. Too many choices. And have NO clue where to go and what to do.

- The latest..... Police Academy. What's better than being a Police officer. It's not about the uniform. Not about the authority. But for me...about helping other people. Those in need.

- Beauty School...people always feel better about themselves when walking out of a salon. You just feel good. Or I do anyway. And how much fun would it be to chop off and dye hair all day??? Easy peasy.

- Daycare ... I've done this forever. It's what I know. That's why I wonder if once I get home it's time to move on? Sometimes I wonder. But at most times, I could not imagine my life not working with kids. In this type of job it is SO not about the money. Just the other rewards that come with it. The feeling. Some know what I mean. It makes everything you do worthwhile.

- Flight Attendant.... why would you not want to make someone elses trip more enjoyable? Get them a drink, or help them feel more comfortable. Maybe even taking their ticket at the gate. Somoene has to do it. And it is still one of the top things I TOTALLY want to do. Although I had the chance, the timing just wasn't right. If it's meant to be, it will happen again. I have no doubt about it.

-HS World History teacher....still an option. When I learn to love school. 4 freakin' years??? Kill me now!

Australia at last!

It's been.....who knows how long since an update. Too long. I've made it to Australia. It's just as beautiful as it's talked up to be. Actually...better! I love love LOVE it here already. These pics are just from last Saturday night. Went out with these two girls I've met, and had a blast! Will post more pictures later. But, I'm blogged out for the night. This update continues pic wise, so keep clicking "older post" to see all the fun stuff. I forgot what it was like to have so much free time, to blog! Free time meaning, I only work from 7am-6pm now, instead of the 5am-11pm. Sometimes, I'm just not sure what to do with the time. As I'm meeting more and more friends, I don't think I have anything to worry about. Miss you all!

PS- Proud Aunt shout out. I have a new nephew as of 6/22/09 and a new niece as of 7/10/09. That makes for 15 nieces and nephews! Miss and love them all!

Cake Making

I've always wanted to take cake decorating classes, and start doing cakes. I made my nieces huge Cup Cake cake for her first birthday, and decided I'd take up my own on my birthday. ( For those that don't know, I have a shoe obbsession, and limegreen and pink are my favorite colors!) My little nephew Lincoln decided to help as well....
