Maybe Baby

If I could have my dream job, I would be a veterinarian. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and I want to help them the best that I can. The one issue is: I don't want to be a doctor. Seriously. I can't handle blood, or broken bones, or sad situations. Not to mention I can't handle science and anything science related. And there's no way I can get into med school.

I went to this pet hospital in Arlington Texas and all I could think about was how I want to help them, but I just don't have the resolve to do so. There is no way I could ever handle dying and sick animals all day. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. And just thinking about how helpless I am to help them also makes me want to cry. It is a conundrum. At least I am not science smart, so I don't really have the option to help them out. And maybe that's an easy way out, but it is true. I got a D- in biology and I thought that was good. But way to go all you fabulous veterinarians. I admire you.

Gucci.

I love to sew. This summer I made myself two dresses and a quilt for my best friends daughter. I would not consider my self a sewing expert, but I would say I am rather proficient. I am in the middle of making a bridesmaid's dress for my best friends wedding. All of the bridesmaids are making their own dress, which is fun except we have a pattern we have to follow :(

I really wish I could just go and buy the Gucci fabric I've had my eye on forever and make my own dress. It would still be classy, it just wouldn't be what everyone else has. Instead we have some Louis Vuitton fabric, which is really pretty, I was just in love with the Gucci, you know? It's hard to deal with, but I think I'll live ;)

I would just buy the Gucci, but I just bought some Burberry fabric to make a dress for a New Years Eve party and I don't exactly have the money to be buying more designer fabric at this time, which is sad for me. I already asked my mom for some Coach fabric so I can make her a purse - ha.

Galapagos Islands

I started dreaming my next dream vacation. Do you know where I'm going to go? The Galapagos Islands! Yeah, the same ones Darwin visited! Super rad, right?

I was looking up different vacation destinations while I was in my biology class and we started learning about evolution and *yawn* Darwin. Then my professor mentioned where Darwin did all of his research...the Galapagos Islands! Islands?? I instantly perked up because when I hear the word island I automatically think of beaches and sun, and heaven. That's when I decided to cruise Galapagos islands on a big old yacht. 

You see, there are tons of Galapagos tours available, you just have to look for them! Also, not many people go there, so it sounds all fancy and exotic, way more so than if you just cruised Hawaii or somewhere lame like that.

Galapagos is totally the new Hawaii -- only for the elite. You see Hawaii has become way too mainstream, any Tom, Dick or Harry can go there, and I want somewhere elite. Also, the islands are just south of the Equator, so it's really nice and hot there. Seriously, I am almost salivating, dreaming of my Galapagos yacht trip I'm taking soon. You see, I planned it for the dead of winter so I would enjoy it the most I could. If I take it during the summer, the temperature would not be to my benefit.

I am stoked. This guy and I are going to be best friends.

All I Needs A Few More Dolla's

My little sister loves the movie Newsies a lot. A lot a lot. She loves it so much so that when Christian Bale or Jack "Cowboy" Kelly sings his song about Santa Fe, she would have done anything to go there. I asked her once if she would be willing to be to work for financial planners in Santa Fe New Mexico and she screamed yes without even thinking, all she heard was Santa Fe. Her scream was followed by a very quick, what does financial planners mean? (she was still too young to know much) I told her that they offer investment services to people in New Mexico. She again asked questions, but only really cared about the Santa Fe part. I told her they helped people manage money and save it up, like Jack Kelly is trying to do so he can move down to Santa Fe. And she said, as long as I get to help Jack Kelly, I don't care what I'm doing. I think she missed that part of the movie where he decides to stay in New York with Sarah because he is a King of New York now, or at least Bill Pullman told him he was. Ever since she has always been willing to help me manage my money, as long as I mention Jack Kelly.

I Bet Not

I am not a betting woman, yet the only sport I would ever bet on is soccer. Pretty much, it is the best sport to watch, and also the most exciting, even though the rest of America would disagree (but seriously America, you like baseball! How can I trust you to tell me what kind of sports I should like?) Low scores make it easy to bet on, and with all of the soccer tips out there from announcers and people that have been watching forever, soccer picks are relatively easy to make.

This isn't like basketball where the scores can range from the 50's up to the 100's, usually people win soccer with scores of 5 and below. Mathematically speaking, soccer betting is more profitable because there are less possible combination of scores to bet on. I bet soccer is pretty intense over in Europe and South America, and basically the whole rest of the world, where they actually care about the sport.

Also, all you need to do is read a few articles on the top players, how they recently performed in the World Cup and then pick the team they are on to win. That sounds easy enough to me.

Soccer Betting

I read this book Blink that was all about thinking with out thinking. Basically it studied our unconscious thoughts, like what we think of someone the first time we meet them, or why we feel safe here and not there.

It explored this one man's ability to determine when a tennis player was going to miss a serve a second time in a row. He could do it while watching the person live, or on TV. He studied and studied, but he never could figure out how he could do it.

Then there was this other man who could tell which horse would win a race, based on who he was lined up next to. For example, if the horse had lost to a mare early in his career, being next to a mare would be detrimental to his performance.

And it made me wonder, there has got to be someone out there with soccer picks and he doesn't realize he knows, but he does. I wonder if there are people like that everywhere, who always win the soccer betting, and it wasn't in the book because soccer is not very big in America. I wonder if he could go around giving seminars on his soccer tips, helping everyone be better at soccer betting.

Frank

I have a tiny confession. I am in love with Frank from the Bachelorette. I almost signed up for the Bachelor because I thought he would be the next one. Before I signed up however, I looked up spoiler alerts to see that he left Ali for an old girlfriend! But I don't care, when they went to his hometown date in Chicago, I tried to see his address so I could stalk him. Yep, seriously.

So I have set up this entire scheme on how to get Frank to love me and not his current girlfriend Nicole. You see it involves a chance meeting at an audio visual rental store in Chicago (brilliant start to the plan, no? My friend owns the place so it'll be a great meeting), and then it continues to involve more audio visual stuff throughout the night, like slide shows of my love and things of that nature. I'm not exactly sure how to get him to the store because he wouldn't even come to the Bachelorette Men Tell All, and I'm sure they offered him money!  But once I've got him there, he will have no choice to dump Nicole and start dating me! :)
