You often hear this phrase thrown about when someone is singing and they're "a little pitchy, dog"! I keep toying with quitting my day job to find, well, another day job. The ultimate day job for me would be "stay at home mom" to McKinley but I can never not work. We have bills to pay, groceries to buy, automobiles to fuel....you know the drill. The issue I keep stumbling over is, I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. Actually, that's a lie. I do know what I want to do when I grow up, but a lot of those ideas just don't sound feasible. I alluded to a few of them in my last post, so I thought I would elaborate on them today.
A children's bookstore is the number one thing I would truly love to open! After I saw "You've Got Mail" I just knew I wanted to make that happen. I know exactly what I would name it, but won't reveal, as I don't want anyone stealing my store name! I can see shelves full of books that I read as a child and ones I read to McKinley today. I see week day and weekend storytelling. Children gathered around to hear small stories or pages of one to pique their curiosity and get them reading it on their own. I see craft projects, holiday decorating, milk and cookie snack days, and smiling faces all around me! Doesn't that just sound like heaven? The store wouldn't be located in one of Johnson County's strip malls, but a stand alone building that we've restored to our own likes and specifications. How I would love to makes this dream a reality!
I have truly enjoyed the art of baking lately and creating small treats for my family and friends. Some are homemade, some from a box, but all have some sort of touch that make it mine. I would specialize in a few things versus a large array of baked goods. I would want to make it a specialized bakery. A concentration of cupcakes, cookies and cakepops. Nothing too fancy or extreme, but instead treats that are big on taste. And style. No matter what I do, there has to be some level of style involved. You can't just deliver a product without a brand and my brand is all about making things stylish! Remember, I also have a personal style blog!
If you don't follow Style My Way, then you may not know that I am an inspiring fashionista. What's a fashionista you might ask? Well, to me, a fashionista is someone who is "in the know" of all things fashion. We know design houses and their signature patterns or prints. We are constantly scouring fashion mags, blogs and websites. We eat, sleep and breath fashion. Because of this love of fashion, I would love to break into the business of styling. It could be on the low end to the high end, but I don't care! I just want to style people. I want to help them shop from their own closet, shop from their favorite retailers, shop for a specific event or for just their every day lives. Would I love to style celebrities? Hell ya! To get to work with the Creme de la Creme? To work with the fashion houses that I only see in magazines? That would be an amazing dream come true! Do I know who I would love to dress? Yes, I do! Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman, Tina Fey, Leighton Meester and Meryl Streep. I think that's a wide variety of women who run the gamut of television and film! It would really stretch my styling skills and challenge me personally and professionally. Just typing this out gets me so excited at the thought of actually doing something like this for a living!
In reality, my day job has me sitting here typing this from a cubicle. Someday, I might actually quit my day job for a new one. Maybe someday, my day job will be one of those listed above. A dreamer can dream, right?
