    i wanted to play 3rd base for the Houston Astros. (maybe i still have a shot? :lol: ) played some Div 2 college ball, then ruined my knee.

    Didn't you hear?

    We traded the entire team + cash to Saint Arnold's for a couple of cases of #DR12.

    Honestly I think the Astro's got the better deal. But to your benefit, I think they're holding tryouts to fill the void.... :lol:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    When I was 5 I wanted to be a waitress because we used to go to a neighborhood diner every weekend and I adored one of the waitresses there, she reminded me of Mae West (so, maybe I just really wanted to grow up to be Mae West :lol: ).

    Then when I was about 7-8 I wanted to be an archaeologist because I believed it would be just like the Indiana Jones movies. :fp: :lol:

    Then when I was 12-15, I wanted to be the first woman president of the US. I guess I can still do this, since the US still hasn't had a woman president yet and I'm officially old enough to be president. :(

    Then in college I had dreams of being a writer/English professor.

    Today, I have a very exciting career as a Project Manger. :roll: :yawn: Might be time to reevaluate what I want to be when I grow up!!
    I lost a bet...

    Never really has any vocational aspirations as a kid!

    As a teenager, I wanted to work in the music biz. I became a CPA, which has allowed me to work with bands, so it worked out indirectly!

    When I was little and Joan Lunden was hosting Good Morning America, I wanted to be her replacement. Later, I wanted to join the Peace Corps or work for a non-profit. Instead, I manage a customer service dept. :?:

    I loved being a student and wanted to stay in school forever :geek: Now I'm an assistant director of a college counseling center (at least I'm still in the school environment) and I'm a therapist at a group practice. I take as many continuing education classes as possible so I can be a perpetual student :lol:
