When I grow up I want to be (amended.)

So in my “Dreaming Big – when I grow up I want to be” post on August 28, 2008 I explained how once upon a time the only thing I ever wanted to be was the First Female President of The United States of America. I was on track with a B.S. in Argumentation and Decision Making at the age of 21 and an acceptance letter to law school at 22.  BUT THEN I DIDN’T GO!

Blah blah blah – skip to then (August) – I thought my fabulous Peace and Conflict plan was going to help me make a difference in the world and blah blah blah – skip to NOW – I’m in Digital Communication.  I’m pathetic – yeah yeah – I know.   But it’s all good because my “life plan” hasn’t changed.  Here is a copy and paste from the past:

Written August 28, 2008 – still applicable March 27, 2009. 

Here are my NEW goals for what I want to be when I grow up.

1. To learn how to make the yummiest (for REAL yummy not for fake yummy) gluten-free treats. And then after I’ve taken the State Fair by storm and won ALL of the HIGH Blue Ribbons, I’ll move on to publishing my collection of delectable gluten-free dessert recipes. But why stop there? I see a COOKING SHOW in the future.
2. With my new found cooking talents I have no doubt I’ll be an amazing hostess. Move over Martha Stewart! Wait til you see MY cooking/entertaining magazine!
3. And then with my celebrity status I’ll adopt a child and plaster myself over the tabloids. I may even sell my story about the bitter life of being discriminated against as an American in Australia. HAHA!
4. My story will sell wildly and I’ll be offered a book deal to write children’s literature. No Harry Potter’s for me – instead I’ll write about pretty flowers and butterflies.
5. Last but not least, I will have so many connections in so many places that I’ll return to my childhood goal and finally run for President. Hey – it’s entirely possible.

For now – I’ll settle with my newest “When I grow up” goal: Learning to decorate cakes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  At least I make myself laugh right?

HWTM’s Blog is where I saw the lovely cupcakes presented.

Back to 2009 – yeah – yeah – I know – it’s pretty sweet.  And thanks to my baking endeavors today I can officially cross off number 1. (well sort of – I can cross of part ONE of number one – but I’m on my way!  )
