Goals and Dreams v.1

Recently, one of my co-workers went to Mexico.  Then I was left out of getting a gift from her.  Her excuse was that she bought some weird keychain for our other co-worker because it meant "indulgence."  Or something like that.  Anyhow, she referred to how she is working on her goals and dreams this summer.  I don't quite get the connection between the key chain and the goals/dreams, but I wanted one too.  Dang it. 

So I promptly followed up with an email version list of my own goals and dreams so that the next time she travels for work, she can bring me back a hokey "indulgent" key chain too.  Ah.  Yes. It's the little things, right? 

Anyway, here's what I sent her.  You should definitely read this list before moving on:

#1.  Get a raise. 

#2.  Move to Asia.        

#3.  Raise funds for Asia. 

#4.  Become a morning person. 

#5.  Lose 5 pounds.  Mm, maybe 10. 

#6.  Read more books.

#7.  Become a photographer.

#8.  Become a professional blogger. 

#9.  Make crafts every day. 

#10.  Adopt some babies. 

#11.  Be on the special “I bring gifts for you” list

#12.  Get a PhD.

#13.  Look older so people stop asking me, “Are you a student?”

#14.  Get a medical/law degree.  Either way is fine. 

#15.  Move to the countryside.  Then move back to the city.  

#16.  Become famous. 

And here was my response back from said co-worker.  This made me laugh out loud, so I figured it was worth a blog post. 

#1.  Get a raise.  Doubt It!

#2.  Move to Asia.  Maybe          

#3.  Raise funds for Asia. Doubt it!

#4.  Become a morning person.  If you haven’t done it by now, not gonna happen

#5.  Lose 5 pounds.  Mm, maybe 10.  Aren’t you like 10 pounds anyway??

#6.  Read more books. You don’t have time if you want to get a raise

#7.  Become a photographer. I thought you want a raise, yet another extracurricular activity that will suck time out of where it counts-sitting at your desk working

#8.  Become a professional blogger.  attainable

#9.  Make crafts every day.  That’s for the kids in Tom’s class dear

#10.  Adopt some babies.  OK Angelina

#11.  Be on Gechi’s special “I bring gifts for you” list Doubt it!

#12.  Get a PhD. These poverty promoting things keep coming up…you are definitely not getting a raiseJ

#13.  Look older so people stop asking me, “Are you a student?” just wear a wig and put eyeliner as your eyebrows

#14.  Get a medical/law degree.  Either way is fine.  Plus a PHD ?? geez

#15.  Move to the countryside.  Then move back to the city.   maybe

#16.  Become famous.  HAHAHA is all I can say

Perfect.
