secret career

My secret careers have varied:

High School:
Forensic coroner
Thank you Quincy aka Jack Klugman

College:
Anything on Wall Street, preferably Drexel Burnham Lambert
Thank you Gordon Gecko aka Michael Douglas
Thank you "Let's Make Lot of Money" by the Pet Shop Boys

Mom:
Librarian
Play on the LPGA tour
Don't know who to credit for these secret careers. I do get to play Librarian at my kid's school each Tuesday afternoon which I love. Play golf as often as I can, but definitely not LPGA material, unless I was a caddie...HMMM ??

Future:
Own a vineyard, there's a beautiful one for sale in Northern Michigan....

What's your secret career?

It was good!

FRIDAY
Hubby and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary by dining at Roast which is owned by Iron Chef Michael Symon. The service was top notch without being stuffy and the food was delicious. I definitely ate too much, but it was the anniversary afterall.

Hubby and I usually only exchange cards, except for the majors (5, 10, 15 etc.) but I love to give gifts and I created a wordle for him and put it in a lovely matted frame. He hung it in his office!
If you don't know what a wordle is, check it out - I think they make such thoughtful gifts.


SATURDAY
My beloved Michigan State Spartans beat Michigan in OT. It was a nailbiter as MSU v. UM games usually are. It doesn't matter who has the better record, this game always takes on a life of its own. This year State did it again, back to back wins against a tough U-M. SPARTY ON!

SUNDAY
The family went to Church to celebrate World Communion Sunday. Later in the afternoon, we were supposed to participate in the Crop Walk, which raises money to help fight hunger around the world, but the weather was so rainy that we opted not to walk, but we still contributed our financial support. Watched Amazing Race, (do not like Lance - he's mean, thinking he may not have been able to bring his steroids on the trip) and of course Mad Men too. Does Betty hate her life ??

Words

While on the treadmill, the song You Found Me by The Fray came on and the following words haven't left my mind:

"Who I am,
who I'm not,
and who I want to be"

For me, fall is the time of beginnings and as I volunteer, work, meet new people, etc. these words may serve as my litmus test for how I'm doing and if what I'm doing is for the good.
