Wish Upon A Star

I've realized I need to be careful what I wish for. Today, I had an incredible experience. I had a fabulous shower with great water pressure, lots of hot water and no interruptions. Something I am grateful for and could definitely get used to.

But here's the twist: after revelling in this realization that my dream had come true, I quickly returned to the world of reality when I realized that the baby had emptied the toilet paper roll and stuffed the majority into the nearest toilet bowl. What's worse is that he had been playing with the paper in the toilet itself. When I looked at him with disapproval and asked what he had done, he responded "No, Mom"

Just a Dream

When I think about my future, my goals have changed drastically. At one time, I wanted to change the world one person at a time. Now I would settle for a 5 minute shower without any curious 2-foot-tall onlookers holding the curtain open and giggling.

If I Hadn't Chosen Love

Wanting to get in on the bandwagon of top ten things I would love to be, I present this list of things I've always thought either I could be or thought I would love to be:

1. Trapeze Artist -- all time top dream of mine, and probably most mis-understood as well

2. Olympic Gymnast

3. Stunt Woman

4. Gymnastics Coach -- I seem to have a theme going...

5. One of those women who stand around in pretty 1800's dresses and hold umbrellas and pose with tourists in Busch Gardens

6. Architect

7. Interior Designer

8. Lawyer

9. Social Worker

10. Statistician -- hey, what can I say. I actually aced this class

Being Stephanie Gagne

So I have caved in to the blog craze. Not that I have anything important swirling around in my under-used, sorely-in-need-of-stimulation head. So here I will post my random thoughts. Sometimes funny, sometimes offensive, sometimes emotional - but always me.
