I would be a famous illusionist performing live magic nightly at a ritzy Las Vegas hotel, with primetime TV specials of my shows gracing your screens from time to time.
After watching some of the awkwardly self-absorbed magicians on NBC’s “Phenomenon” last night, I have to admit I’m glad this did not become a reality…
…they’d have a cure for cancer. i lost my dad to it when i was 17 and one of our single’s ministry leaders lost her brother to it TODAY! cancer sucks!!
i would have like five kids, be married and live in some huge plantation house in the south. so much for that! haha
well, i’m part way there. living in a house in the “midwest” with one kid… we’ll see what God has in store for the next 30 years!…
I thought that I would be an animal doctor and drive a jeep. I’m so thankful that I’m not a vet now… but I’m still hoping for a jeep… the four door wrangler!
living in Africa, doing something….maybe someday! And, the secondary….traveling as BGV for New Kids on the Block. Glad that didn’t work out. (And, yeah…wasn’t so much a “kid”). :O)
You can have Tootie! I was all about the older sister on “Charles in Charge.” And I’d be the first multi-sport athlete/rockstar. And me and Michael Jordan would be boys (although MJ looked a lot younger at this age in my mind). And I would have like, a thousand dollars in the bank.
I’d be a touring Rock Star completing my US tour in flannel shirts with hair down to my shoulders (I got that) and an unshaven beard with the front row of girls singing along to our lyrics. I’d drive a big Bronco and have a flying skate board like from Back to The Future.
I’d be a stay at home mom to my kids…instead I’m going back to work full time and leaving my four kids at home because my husband left me. That’s fun stuff.
Be married, have kids, and a real career. And my own house. Eh, first one down. Still figuring out if I actually want the second, and can’t figure out the third. Trying to convince the hubby not everyone needs the fourth.
I was supposed to be replacing Fran Tarkington then I was going to be a concert pianist, then I decided the NBA was the life for me, then I was going to be Tommy Lee’s replacement and then…..well….reality set in.
i’d get to be a stay-at-home-mom (thank God for that) AND an interior designer (i can barely even keep my house clean) AND a veterinarian (i am so glad we’re pet-free right now) AND a photographer (well, i am kind of one, in a non-professional/not very good sorta way) AND i thought i’d live across the street from the beach (an hour away is not that bad) AND i thought that my sister and cousins and i would all live on the same street with a bridge connecting all of our houses…i know we were weird. hey, at least the first thing i said is true, it’s the only important one!
that i would be playing 1st chair trombone in an ottowa polka band; and we’d look for gigs on ships, in countries that have no land. (harry conick tune)
or playing trombone in the chicago symphony – seriously
In fourth grade, we had to write our aspirations on some paper cut out to resemble a crystal ball. I said I’d be a doctor, chillin’ in California. Wow. Either I was one big dreamer or my parents did a good job of programming that one in my head!
Seriously, when I was a kid, I didn’t think much further ahead than the next time I was going swimming or riding my bike or getting to have some sugar. When adults asked me that question, I would say something like, “a vet.” But really, I couldn’t wait to be an adult simply to be in charge of my own time. Which now, I am.
I thought that when I grew up I would be able to go to the mall and buy anything that I want – haven’t felt the need to visit the mall in years.
I also thought I would be able to go to McDonald’s and buy a milkshake whenever I wanted to. Back then I didn’t know that they were fattening – darn it!
“people would not stare at mommys who have children who do not look like them.”
Amen to that (I’m a caucasian mommy with a gorgeous boy who was born in Korea!). Or maybe they are staring because he’s soooooooo completely adorable and they can’t believe how blessed I am?!!!! I think I’ll go with that one…
be a wife and momma. i thought i woulda made (i guess still could make) a really good one. sometimes you just have to wonder, “why God?” for what are seemingly “normal” things. time is closing in on me these daze. sigh. but, in the end, the Lover of my soul is mine, and what a precious thing that is. I could be without hope at all!
I’d be married. And I would have quit my job teaching other people’s children and be enjoying my own. I suppose the Lord had other plans. But He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (or so I’ve heard).
..Id be a frustrated wife, living in a small cow town, married to a mean man and dreaming of being a rock star. Thank you Jesus! That is not my life, it’s WAY better and it’s ONLY by the grace of God.
I would have my hot pink convertible, have a pet bear (ya…dont really know where that came from), have a pet white tiger, wear my favorite black and white striped shirt everyday and own the most awesome pair of hot pink pumps.
I believe I was around 5 when I decided this. Now… well, lets just say I’m not really into wearing the same shirt everyday, I can barely handle my one dog, and I could never drive a hot pink convertible….but I do own a pretty awesome pair of hot pink pumps!
I thought cars would fly, I’d be an America’s Cup Tactition, and I’d be single and alone. Thank God none of those came true and I’m married and have a son. I’m blessed!
RAIN IT DOWN
I’d be a comic book writer and have a swimming pool and buy candy in the check out line and drink Coke without having to play a soccer game first.

I’d know what I wanted to do when I grew up – but I don’t. You’d think at the age of 30 you’d have an idea……
that I’d still have my long, thick, blonde hair….crap.
…that I’d have one of those skateboard hover craft things that were always falsely advertised on the backs of comic books.
…that I would be a millionaire driving a Benz and a crotch rocket.
…that I’d be old.
funny thing is, I still think that “when I grow up” I’ll be old, but each new decade brings 10 more years to still be young.

Be a Level 53 Seamstress in ‘World of Needlecraft’, and have both the Thimble of The Apocalypse AND The Pinking Shears of The Gathering Storm.
I thought I would be a mommy and a wife. Honestly that is all I ever wanted. I am so thankful that is all I am!!
In fourth grade, we had to write our aspirations on some paper cut out to resemble a crystal ball. I said I’d be a doctor, chillin’ in California. Wow. Either I was one big dreamer or my parents did a good job of programming that one in my head!
