Since this is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I thought I would talk about my "dream". As Nick and I were preparing 43 boxes of Jell-o for Middle School Jell-o night, we got to talking and amidst the talk, I unveiled my dream job. Most of you would not be surprised at this in the least.
If I had all the money in the world, and could do whatever I darn well pleased, I would own and operate my personal catering service. This would ultimately in theory fufill all my needs, utilize all of my strengths, and incorporate my passions.
How awesome of a job would that be? I would get to put my MBA to good use with the operations, marketing, and financing aspects of the business. It would be a sort of make your own rules, schedule type of a job. I would get to do one of my most favorite things in the world - cook and get PAID for it! And to top it all off, I would get to use my impeccable customer service skills.
This got me all excited, because I never did have a dream job in the back of my mind. It's sort of sad, isn't it?
Will this ever come to be? Being an entrepreneur is not conducive to my personality. It takes great risk both monitarily and emotionally. My wonderfully supportive husband said maybe once I graduate, try it out part-time on the weekends on a very small scale.
For now it's all a dream in this little head of mine, but maybe someday.......
P.S. On a different note, I wonder if MLK Jr. was Lutheran.....

My dear little Candace Shea,
We must all "dream." You know that sometimes they do come true. :) So you just hold tight to it and see what happens. I hope that your dreams come true for you. Sometimes, if we look hard enough, we will discover that a dream or two just happened.... Remember my book "Fanny's Dream?"
For your other topic. I believe that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a good old Southern Baptist. He became a minister somewhere along the way to follow in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. He was also a very educated man as he held a doctorate degree. He did have an awesome dream... I think we are working on it here on this old earth, maybe someday....
Mom,
Yeah, I guess I'll tuck it away for now, and see what happens in the future.....
As for Martin Luther King, Jr., I was joking. I know he was Baptist, I just tell Nick that to get a rise out of him - since that's one of my favorite past-times! :) Thanks for all the great MLK info, though. I love you!
As a fellow "cat-person, thought I'd share How to Wash a Cat....
Thoroughly clean the toilet. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
CAUTION!!!!!
Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.
Flush the toilet three or four times.
Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.
I live to serve.
Nice story Dick......But you must know that cats clean themselves.........
