5 Things I'd Rather Be Doing

Boy have I had writer's block lately. I swear I do more than just eat so I don't want to always be bombarding you with recipes...but I don't want to just completely unload the random trains of thought that chug through my brain on a daily basis either. So, aside from my normal day job and cooking when I can I started to think about other things I could do and jobs out there that would be amazing.

I can honestly say that I have no interest in being famous or in the public eye so I can easily rule out being a singer or actor (although I'd take the millions that the stars make). Thinking about it further, these are the jobs that I came up with.

1. The Google Doodle Creator. How much fun would it be to research and find something to celebrate every single day? ...And then create an image or game that millions of people enjoy. You get to learn something, teach something and entertain people all at once.

2. The Essie Nail Polish Color Namer. I feel like there are just no rules for the person naming nail polish colors. E-nuf Is E-nuf and Big Spender are two of my favorite colors but Meet Me At Sunset, Clambake and Demure Vixen sound worth trying just for the name alone.

3. The Jauntaroo Chief World Traveler. You get paid to take amazing vacations - that are paid for - and blog about them and volunteer all over the world. I legitimately cannot think of anything better than that.

4. Fortune Writer for Fortune Cookies. Again with the no rules thing. Fortunes in fortune cookies are usually hit or miss; but, at best, they give you a real fortune and sense of optimism and at their worst they hilariously don't make sense and put a smile on your face. Win-win.

5. Vanna White's Replacement. I know I said I don't want to be famous...and I don't...but this is the one position that I'd accept that involves a little bit of the spotlight. My friends can attest to the fact that I seriously love game shows & contests so to be part of one every day would be sweet. Add in a few trips to Hawaii and other destinations that are sounding really good right now during this cold New England winter as well as a new dress every episode and you don't need to twist my arm.

Don't get me wrong. I'm lucky to be employed and love my co-workers and the company that I work for but a girl can dream, right? What would you rather be doing?
