Dream Jobs

I have been very busy with all the planning for our Italy trip in a couple of weeks. Most of the planning burden falls on me mainly for two reasons. One, I really love traveling and don't want to miss anything a place has to offer. Two, Micah hates reading! I really love to read. Books, Blogs, Magazines, Travel Books. You name it, I'll read it. I find it pretty ironic that Micah's parents love to read and he doesn't. My parents don't really read that much and but I do. My Dad loves to do word puzzles of any sort and so does Micah. Did we get put in the wrong families?


Anyway~


I got side tracked because of the reading thing but the reason I titled this post Dream Jobs is because...


I want to be Rick Steves!

I know, I know. He is a total nerd. But people love to read his books and watch his show. I am reading his book for a lot for my Italy info right now! I was talking to my friend Megan about this the other day and we were totally busting up about it because she completely agreed with me and admitted to watching his shows.


Some other jobs I would love are:


-Working when I want to (meaning no bakers hours) at Charm City Cakes or Carlo's Bakery (although I don't know if I have thick enough skin for Buddy and I've never worked with fondant before which is all they do it seems like!)


-Professional Organizer (I am neurotic and I am okay with that)


-Have a business making diaper cakes


-Be a travel guide for great people with lots of money who would pay for all my expenses and have loads of fun and good attitude the whole time



Micah's dream jobs would probably be very different than mine so here is a list of what I think his would be:


-finding the best surf spots and Surfing them


-Photographer (for some surf or travel magazine)


-Working with animals (at the zoo, aquarium, or some jungle, whatever)


-Be Bear Grills or the other dude


-Lead guitarist for an amazing rock band


-Paid to eat Peppermint Patties and/or Sees Candy's Bordeaux


-Chose the finalists for Americas Funniest Home Videos



That is what has been on my mind lately. Hooray for anyone who is doing what they really love for a living!
