    Oooh. Where do I start... princess, singer, rock star, carpenter (yes. even a carpenter), a cop, and a nurse. No, not all at the same time, but I couldn't make up my mind.
    Studying Psychology. :)

    I wanted to be the CEO of my very own *kitten* house. Seriously! My mom let me watch the Dolly Parton Movies and I wanted that job.
    Do you need a second in command? lol

    When I was younger ( grade 6) I thought I would marry Bret the hitman hart and live happily ever after

    In high school I thought I would marry toni kukoc and live happily ever after

    Some point in my early twenties (23) after grad school I said I was going to move to Canada and meet Georges st pierre and you know the rest

    Over all I guess I guess I wanted to marry a good looking athletic guy

    Construction worker, teacher, or artist...

    Instead I'm a parent (who teaches her children), and a software tester...

    But I paint from time to time and can design and build my own deck - so I guess I nailed it too!
