Human.
1. The hostess at fun BBQ's
2. A photographer
3. The person people call with a funny story
4. The lady running with 2 Golden's
5. A dual resident of US and Italy
6. The Mom that goes down the big water slides at the amusement parks - I don't want to be the mom that waits at the bottom all dry with the perfect hair.
7. A regular - I want the coffee lady to know me, the fish guy, the postwoman, the banker. I want to be someplace long enough to be a regular.
8. Patient. I want to be less busy so I can be more patient. Or I just want to be more patient.
9. The person that plays the christmas music on the piano while sipping wine or egg nog.
Apparently I want to be you...sort of:
1) Published writer
2) A mom (to actual human babies)
3) The drunk granny telling dirty jokes
4) Well-traveled
5) Loved
6) Happy, healthy and at peace with myself and the world.
Either that or I want to be The Bloggess when I grow up.
Ooo... This is a good one. I'm not sure I want to grow up! I'm probably going to have to think about it.
On your list, as I was going through, I thought "hey, she should have stroked some of these off!"
In the mean time, I regularly go to a sushi bar, but no one recognizes me. However, when I stopped in to pick up our pizza the other night, they took one look at me and said "Harmzie?" [d'oh] Maybe it's about expectations! (sorry if the pizza story's a repeat, I'm so ashamed about it, I'm telling everyone)
Oooh, I love this. I'm going to write this up too... lemme think for a minute...
Pretty much exactly who I am now, except prettier. And thinner. And with runners calves. :)
I love your list!
When I grow up I want to be a
1. a dolphin trainer
2. someone who can throw together and amazing meal out of whatever happens to be in the pantry
3. a person that actually makes time to excersize
There are so many more. I just might have to still this idea for my blog!
One of the owners of the sushi place I go to recognizes me enough to say hi to me even out of context. Doesn't know me by name though. Must work on that.
Anyway, I wanna be...
1) the fun mom who can toss around a football or kick a soccerball with her kids and grandkids.
2) someone who can effortlessly throw together a simple stylish outfit at a moment's notice.
3) a speaker of French and Spanish.
4) a person who lives in a simple stylish eco-friendly house, with less clutter.
5) the fun, irreverent grandmother surrounded by countless grandkids.
6) the Hostess, like Monica on Friends.
1,2,3,5,6,8,15 definitely. A professional photojournalist. Preferably, this is how I would like to fill my passport. Thanks for this.
