6 things
I couldn’t think of anything to write so I am going to take inspiration from all those other blogs doing a 6 things list. So, here are 6 wacky, crazy or odd things about me.
1. I took wine appreciation my senior year of college because I didn’t like the taste of alcohol. My excuse for not drinking prior to that was that it was a dry campus so there was no alcohol at parties and I wasn’t 21 so I couldn’t go to the bars. I’m still not that into it, which is why I often become the DD.
2. I took drama in high school to be more comfortable in front of groups. It was ok. When someone tells me exactly what to say and people can’t ask questions, I’m cool. It’s when I have to give a presentation at work or something that I get super nervous.
3. I really don’t have any goals or life aspirations. Is that bad? I have always just kind of done what was expected of me like college, a career, a house. Nothing that I am or that I am doing right now was anything that I was passionate about. It all just happened. Maybe that’s why I really want to take a year and just travel. It’s also why I can’t tell people when they ask me what I want to do with my life.
4. I secretly want to be a stay at home mom. Yeah, I know I have this expensive education and equality for women and feminism blah blah blah… whatever. I would love to just be a mom and a wife. I used to pack lunches for my roommates for goodness sakes!
5. If I was getting any, I’d be pregnant by now. Not on purpose, mind you. I just constantly forget to take my pill. This afternoon around 4 I realized that I forgot it again today.
6. I have always struggled with my weight and my family doesn't make it any better. They like to give "helpful suggestions" which in reality make it much worse. You know when someone says something that really bothers you, it makes you want to do the opposite just to spite them? Yeah, that's us. "You aren't going to eat that are you?" "Well, I wasn't but now I am!"

don't feel that wanting to be a sahm is any less than any other career out there. we know it is one of the hardest jobs there is! and you're not alone - among many other women, my sister wants to be a sahm (she's a nurse currently) - but she's said that that's always been her dream - to be a mom.
i think i too just coasted through my schooling. finally deciding to try 'fashion', cause the only thing i could think of that i really liked was sewing - but i didn't have a 'passion' for design or any goal/plans going into it. i too, i'm still stumped with 'what i want to do with my life' - but now i'm content with finding a good balance in living it, in the interim until my passion reveals itself.
Well, it sounds like #4 is actually the answer to #3.
You love food. Maybe you should go to culinary school and try out for The Next Food Network Star next season. :-)
i'm with notyouraverage on this one. it ain't easy being a stay at home mom. in fact, i would think that's the hardest job out there cuz you're working longer than eight hours a day, plus you would have the responsibility of raising children. if that's not the most important task out there, i don't know what is.
i've always had problems with my weight, too. my mom was always pressuring me, which made it worse. the ironic thing was she was the main one feeding me food that wasn't healthy.
she still does that from time to time when i'm over there, but i've done a better job of telling her i won't eat it if she cooks it.
as for your life's desire, you desire to live. that's a start. i figure the rest will reveal itself eventually and ain't nothing wrong with that.
wait a minute ... weren't you the one who told me about the white sangria and the coffee flavored tequila? :)
All – I dunno… I guess I think of motherhood as something I’m going to do, but I still feel like I should have some sort of aspirations or goals or something. I don’t dream about accomplishing anything or completing anything. I was reading this book on 6 month sabbaticals and it was very good, but everyone had something they wanted to do. One guy wanted to learn a language so he went to south America for a year. Another wanted to take some 3 month hike because hiking was her passion. I don’t have any of that.
NYABG – I need to find that same balance you have. We’ll see how it goes.
Shawn –I couldn’t cook for a living. I think I would grow tired of it. Every chef I know doesn’t cook at home. Plus, I’d get stage fright.. :o)
Nikki – My grandma is a bit senile now so she tells me 20 times a day how fat I am because she forgot that she already told me. My mom isn’t too bad with the food thing. She used to cook with meat(she’s a vegetarian) and bake just because I was home, but she had cut that out now.
Chele – LOL! Yeah, that was me. I didn’t say I don’t drink, but I generally don’t like the taste of alcohol. I can’t even go near beer and certain liquors. I’m much rather have a mixed drink with very little alcohol in it and the wine class helped me to realize what I liked versus what I don’t like.
