I saw myself working in an office. Thank goodness real estate agents don't have to pass a typing test, because I reek at it.

Something I never thought I'd do is travel to Alaska and do commercial fishing. My brand new hubby dragged me kicking and screaming from farm country. The outcome:
I adored it.

In that case, I would have to leave all the typos in place!

I still think about being an English teacher. My only problem is I want to teach elementary aged kids, but I love to teach Shakespeare. Can't exactly teach Hamlet to 3rd graders, lol.
Seahawksweetie, how come nobody ever gets my "pallets towards none" jokes on the loading dock???

Before I went to th' Truck Drivin' Academy, I couldn't even SPELL "truck Driver" And now I are one! Seriously, I went into the USAF with NO idea what I wanted to do (other than get away from home) They needed warm bodies in aircraft maintenance back then. I wouldn't have EVER imagined myself as a mechanic (my wife laughs at that concept to this very day) but I enjoyed it and learned things I would've never imagined. I'd always thought about driving a truck (I'm definitely not the office type) and first thought I'd just see what it was like. Ten years and no accidents later, I'm truly addicted!
