What did you want to be when you grew up?

For a while I wanted to be Astrogirl - when she walked her feet made the coolest noise! I would walk around going "whoop, whoop" as I walked.

Then my brother got a GI Joe...I wanted to be a Marine! I would sneak off with his GI Joe footlocker and dress Barbie and Midge in the uniforms. I thought Barbie looked so cool in the camouflage fatigues. But with her dark hair, blue eye shadow, red lips and nails she was soooooooo sexy in the dress blues. And really smokin' when she wore them with her open toed heels! I was about to join in the mid-80s but my Mom talked me out of it.

My parents wanted me to be a Chemical Engineer - 2 years of studying that with a minor in nuclear physics was enough to convince me it was not for me. I loved the studies but didn't want the job.

Next they wanted me to become a paralegal. I didn't want to because it was their idea and not mine. Well, the joke was on me because I AM a paralegal and have been for over 20 years. Go figure!
