Wow this is fascinating to me that we have so many foodies here!
I am Martha Stewart reincarnated, I swear. I LOVE gourmet cooking - and hey, if cooking isn't science, I don't know what is! I chose cupcakes as my wedding cake this summer and made them alllll myself, in 3 flavors: triple chocolate fudge & mexican vanilla cream cheese frosting, pineapple cupcake & citrus cream cheese frosting, orange cupcakes & mocha cream cheese frosting. Yum!
- I would totally be a snorkel/dive instructor for a luxury resort in the caribbean. Work 4-8 hours a day, spend the rest of the day on the beach. Every morning get up and snorkel beautiful reefs in the Bahamas, straight out of Discovery Channel's Blue Planet series with Richard Attenborough narrating in my head. Who's with me?!
- Work for the CDC in disease prevention/control. This was my backup plan instead of vet school.
- I'm insanely hooked on Forensic Files TV show. I love forensics. Is it more than a little scary that I'm constantly mentally working on the 'perfect crime'?
- Anything to do with western history. I love history! Museum curator or something.
- Never work again and instead throw myself back into full time dressage, and compete for fun. Work with some fancy dressage trainer, train up perfect dressage horses, breed em, and sell em for a million dollars a piece.
- A writer. Everyone has told me I should be a writer, and I know I could do it, but I really don't want to, but I guess its a back up skill.
- Own and run a self sufficient small animal & horse sanctuary, being the on site veterinarian. I will do this, probably not until I'm 50 or so, though. Its my daydream that I can escape to at any boring moment of my day. I mentally arrange the fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and dog runs, redesign the horse barn over and over, and work out how many volunteers I'll need, design little fun cat play scapes in their air conditioned indoor housing units...
- Gardener. I know you can't make money at it, but I love it! Nothing feels more productive in this life than planting a garden and then having it bear vegetables/fruit. I imagine its like having children. They are all each my little children!
