We had dinner with Janice and Nick tonight (thanks, Dad, for the yummy rib-eyes!) and got to talking about work, telling stories about the redundancies of each workday. Someone asked the question of what we'd be doing if money were no object.
Everyone else was easy to figure out. Chad said he'd be a coach. Janice would be an actress (on stage, not on screen). And Nick would be a firefighter...which he is training for. I, on the other hand, could not pinpoint a single thing I'd want to do if money were no object. A teacher, a full-time mom, a business owner, the job I have now...I really have no idea. None!
I settled on saying I'd be an author, writing books of some sort from the comfort of my own home. (I've been liking the comfort of my own home and the idea of working in my sweatpants lately. I get a lot done and it's not as stressful.) I think if I had to focus, I might be able to squeeze out a work of fiction or two in my lifetime. Maybe people would even read them. Or at least a great biography. I'm good at interpreting other people's lives.
Janice informed me that authors make too much money for that to be a consideration. But I'm pretty sure that the best Broadway actresses and coaches do alright too...
