No shopping for you!

The most recent purchase I regret making is new clothes & accesories for work. I tend to buy on impulse when I shop with others. Their presence makes me feel rushed, so I tend to not think the purchase through. I ended up buying slacks and dresses that were a tad on the trendy side. Just that extra smidgen of trendiness that I don't feel confident in. It's cute on the rack, cute in my head, cute on the other girl, but not so cute on me. Once I'm home and the tags are cut, I immediately regret buying it. The only use these clothes and accessories get are when I convince myself to try them on one last time, I look in the mirror and back into the closet they go. Next time I go shopping, I'll have to remind myself to keep my big mouth shut and stop inviting people to go shopping with me.

What would job would YOU pursue if money weren't a problem?

If bills weren't a constant monkey on my back, I would IMMEDIATELY pursue being a student, traveling food blogger and photographer. I'm a nerd and a bookworm, and I could TOTALLY shut the world out and just read and write all day. I'd get back into psychology, then check out world religions. My little A.D.D. self wouldn't know where to stop.

I'd like to thank Anthony Bourdain for kicking ass in the traveling blogger field. My palette didn't really mature until I was in my late 20s. Up until then it was all about pizza, hamburgers and pasta. Once I started traveling and being in the company of more advanced diners, that's when the gastronomic world opened up for me. Fresh herbs, spices, don't even GET me started on cheeses! I'll slap someone for some good gorgonzola.

For someone like me who enjoys food as much as I do, and I'm talking borderline obsessive with eating good food, I'm suprised I'm not four times my size right now. I'm like a crackie trying to think of ways to score my next appetizer or dinner fix. All I can think of is food right now, and I haven't even touched on how amazing the traveling would be!

Now onto my last dream job... photographer. I'm not talking wedding day photographer or anything like that. I see the way those people get treated. I'd most likely get fired ON THE SPOT for knocking the bride or her mother-in-law out with my camera. No, no, no folks. I'm talking LANDSCAPE photograher. I mean, really, what's a tree going to do? Yell at me? Tell me to take the picture from a different angle? Seriously, there will be no sass-talk with my subjects.

And there folks, there you have it. That is what Virg would be if she were P. Diddy. Or Puff Daddy. Or Sean Puffy Combs. Or Puffy Diddies with his Daddy. Or whatever that idiot calls himself these days.

You didn't know? Well now ya' do!

I think most people, those that only know me from adulthood, would be surprised to learn that I'm a nerd and a bookworm. My ideal weekend would be curled up with a book in a cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows or on the beach. If I could find funding to allow me to be a life-long student, I'd switch jobs in a HEARTBEAT.
