Happy Valentine's Day --And a Question

I am the lucky recipient of these flowers. I think they're from Pietro, but with all of these other boyfriends, it's hard to tell. Oh, Pietro just informed me that they came with a note. The note specifies that they are indeed from my husband. Isn't he sweet? And also very very tolerant.



So, I was mopping the floor a few minutes ago, thinking about things that are more exciting to do. I started wondering: given the chance, who would I be if I got to start over? Being a SAHM is fun and rewarding, but there numerous killjoys, like laundry, and floor cleaning. Some of these reflections started because I keep getting tagged on Facebook in notes. For example: 25 Things About You, or your Labor Experience, or what you want to do before you die (Bucket List). Mostly I don't have time to fill these out, but I'm starting to think that it's more about how boring my lists would be. So, instead of filling out a list, I'd just like to pose a question for the blog-readers out there...who would YOU be?

My answer: I'd be an actress. It suits my personality. I adore attention (big surprise since I'm a Leo.) I really like becoming different people. Comedy is my favorite, but I also think drama is a tremendous amount of fun. The downside is that I'm awful at memorizing scripts, I get stagefright, and I'm incredibly self-conscious.

I'd really like to hear what everyone else would like to be...c'mon people, do a little fantasizing!! It is mandatory, or else I shall come at you with one of my giant roses. Those thorns are awfully nasty-looking!

Oooh! Excellent question - I think about this too! Well in HS I was totally committed to cardiac surgery. The day I held a lamb's heart in my hand and identified all the parts was pretty inspiring.

Hmmm...I was always into gymnastics. I wish I'd been able to stick with it consistently and be good enough for the Olypmics. But that only gets me through the younger years. I still would have loved to have done medical school and become a forensic pathologist. The human body fascinates me!

Being an actress would be a complete nightmare to me - I'm not so good with the whole center of attention thing. Could I be a professional student or food critic or travel writer?
