What will I be when I grow up?

Lucy - Andrew talks of the lost profession. I would like to speak of the profession never found.

I have been asking myself what will I be when I grow up?

You would think by the age of 34 I might have a clue!

But alas. Nothing yet.

Is it the Gemini in me? I change my mind like I change my underwear.

Is it fate? I could have been put on this earth to swan around in Kaftans. I know I’m good at that.

Am I just plain lazy? We all have those moments, I am sure.

Or perhaps I am waiting for my calling......still waiting.......still waiting.....still waiting. Shit, I guess I’ll be waiting a while yet.

If the universe hasn’t let me in on its secret mission for me there must be a bloody good reason. Lord knows it must be special if after 34 years still nothing...

I often come up with new ideas & ventures.  Just ask Sawusband, Andrew & Gusband they will have a lot to say on the subject.

Let me fill you in on a few career moves if have considered in the last few years.

·         Cheese maker extraordinaire!

I have always loved cheese, more than you can imagine. So why not make it. I’ll tell you why. Turns out cheese makers are a very secretive bunch!!! Must be a society, like the stone masons. This fantasy lasted about 1 year & one small cheese making course. I still would secretly love to make cheese. Sooo not going to happen, I will let it go.

·         Open own fashion Boutique

Turns out this cost a pretty penny, who knew?

·         Open a Gift /kitchen/ coffee shop

Found the premises, still waiting for it to magically be transformed....& also costs a pretty penny.

·         Start baby accessory label

That actually nearly happened....

·         Be a fashion stylist/ personnel shopper

Still could happen. Now, if I could only get out of my own way....

·         Open a Tapas & Wine Bar

Oops, already done that once.... not sure about working nights, am such a nana now, I’m in bed by 8.30

I guess what’s evident is the Food/Fashion theme. They are the two things I know about...

I know there is more, but I’m sure I will change my mind about those as well....

If you have any ideas of what I should be when I grow up I would love to hear them.

Andrew- You forgot the highly successful event coordination business and I’m not being facetious. You had a very successful thing going there (I should know, we used you more than once) it was just a shame you had to go ahead and move thousands of kms away.

As for swanning about in a kaftan… well why can’t that be a job? Last time I checked random people were taking photos of you and making you walk  backwards and forwards so they could take your photo. Personally I wish someone would pay me to swan about in a kaftan!

Having a breather from all the "swanning"

Changing your mind is a woman's prerogative I thought. As for a best friends prerogative? Well that must be to be allowed to support their friend in even the most ridiculous of schemes. It's the job of husbands to be sensible not best friends. Shall we tie-dye some things???

I wonder what career we will be able to come up with in Italy....... Stay tuned campers.xx
