When I grow up…

You probably know already that I have serious aspirations in life. My career goals include being a published author, world renowned party planner, and a famous blogger. But here are a few other career paths that I wouldn’t mind going down...

When I first got to college, I was actually planning on majoring in art history. I took a class in high school, and absolutely loved it. Eventually I realized, however, that there are very few jobs for art historians. I opted for pre-law instead. And look where that got me…

After tiring of two years of political science classes, however, I decided that I needed a break. So flew to Paris for the summer and studied art history, taking classes that took place inside the best art museums in the world. It was the best summer of my life, and made me realize why I loved art so much in the first place. I’m a terrible artist, but I could {and did} wander the halls of the Louvre all day long.

I love thinking up the menus and drinks that I would serve if I had my own café. It would be French, of course, but serve sandwiches that even I love {think goat cheese and proscuitto with sun dried tomatoes…yum}. My husband would make martinis, and we would have the best Nutella hot chocolate around. It would be in a cute downtown area {like my own downtown area}, with pretty little bistro sets outside and hand-written chalkboard menus on the sidewalk.

Oh my goodness, how I would love to be a pastry chef. I may not be a good artist, but I am a good baker. I would create the most amazingly delicious breakfasts and desserts, like chocolate croissants and strawberry éclairs and opera cakes. My focus would obviously be on the taste of the pastries though, and not necessarily the look, since again, I’m no artist. Wedding cakes would be out of the question. But wedding tarts? Bring them on!

How amazing would it be to drink and talk about wine all day and call it your job? Just the thought makes me want to research where the closest sommelier school might be. But after talking to my favorite wine-o, I realized just how difficult {and intimating} becoming a sommelier really is. There’s work involved in every career, obviously, but I figured that I would much rather drink my wine for fun, rather than work.
