Suggestions anyone?

Real Jobs I Would Like To Have:
  • Editor for a/any publishing house, specializing in children's and YA fiction
  • Writer for a/any bridal website or magazine
  • Travel columnist
  • Editor for Westword (or something quite similar)
  • Editor for a/any health type magazine.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm seriously asking.

Todd is working through this series on his own blog (initialdraft.blogspot.com) about writing. I'm wondering if I can do something similar regarding weddings? Just need to come up with more of a concept, I suppose. More ideas on what to write about. Suggestions, anyone?
I'm seriously asking.

Scheduling blurs...

Todd asked me yesterday what our upcoming plans were.
There's quite a list:

Friday, I'm going to fashion show and he's going to a cigar bar.
Saturday, he's going to writer's group and I'm studying then going to a bachelorette party.
Sunday, he's running and I'm going to church, then the gym, then a bridal shower.
Monday, I have class at night.
Tuesday & Wednesday are standard fare.
Thursday, we're trying to have dinner with some friends before their wedding.
Friday, no idea.
Saturday, I'm supposed to be going on a mini-roadtrip with Jill.

Ah, scheduling.
Frickin' madness.

I think Todd often wonders how my brain works in order to keep all this crap straight...and then I think he thinks "Oh hell no...I'm not getting into that!"

Hippies Unite!

It came up in conversation at work the other day that I am a hippie.

Not a dirty hippie, mind you. I shower every single day (but will admit to skipping a shower on the weekend from time to time) and don't generally wear hemp or whatever, but I am an openly yuppie hippie.

I don't eat high fructose corn syrup or trans-fat.
I prefer alternative medicines and don't drug myself whenever possible (my new-found allergies require some heavy duty drugs for which there is not a natural cure as far as I can tell).
I'd rather walk or ride bikes than drive a car.
I love being outside.

So if that makes me a hippie, then I am a loud and proud urban yuppie hippie.
