The last time you went on an interview did they ask you where you see yourself in 10 years. I always wonder what they are hoping for as an awnser or what I should say... In this world though really are they looking for your own personal bucket list or are the looking to see if you are looking to stay with them forever? If they are looking for your personal bucket list, what would it be?
I ask this question because Im only 24 and when I go to an interview what am I supposed to say. So I thought about it and what would make up a bucket list, who would even care. So I decided to think and come up with my bucket list. Now for those of you who dont know what a bucket list is, its a compiled list of all the crazy, funny, wacky, and fun shit you want to do before you die.
BUCKET LIST
-Eat pasta and pizza in italy
-Hug a roman colum
-Marry the love of my life
-Have something take my breath away
-Find confidence in myself
-See a truly beautiful sight
-Change someones life
-Sit in a sea so clear you can see the bottom
-Live on the ocean for a year
I am sure I will think of more, but thats what I have for now. I think its pretty good. Nothing to selfish but everything that would make me very happy to have done in my life.
So the next time you go to an interview and they ask you where you see your life going, or what you want out of life think about your answer because I bet that this answer would have gotten you that job a lot better than that fake phoney crap you were about to feed them.
Blog to to you soon

Finals Week!
What a week! I have so much to do and no time to do it. And here I am writing to you fine people. Go figure.
It has been a rough week in the world of Nannying, one of the Moms is out of town so the whole family is out of wack, I feel bad. The kiddos are totally thrown off and its making it hard for them to have a happy day. It just goes to show the woman of the house is the heart of the home. No offense to any men out there.
The subject of children and weight came up this week at work also. I just want to stress how important it is for parents to support their kids being healthy and active. The amount your childs weight affects them at school and in public is alarmingly overwhelming and I hope everyone knows that. Its sad to see a child in pain over something they have no control of.
On a happier note I am going to view another venue for my wedding this weekend and if it looks good and everything sounds as right as it does right now we will be booking and I will be Chapel Hunting aww yea!!. Getting those two things out of they way will be huge and it will just be the matter of hiring a catering company and the rest is gravy baby.
Ok all I have to get back to getting these papers done because if I dont welll I fail college and that would hinder my future quite a bit.
Blog to you soon.

Defining Death
What if you were told that you were going to die in 6 months and there was a very rare likely hood you were going to pass before summer arrived. Would you tell your children and help them cope with the fact that you would be leaving them in person, would you tell them what you wanted to tell them for a long time.
I dont know how feel about this subject, a good friend passed away this past week and it was told to me that they had just told their children about this last week. They were planning on not telling them at all. How would you feel if someone you loved decided that they were not going to tell you they were going to die and they passed away. I feel like there are so many things you need to get through during a grieving process and be able to tell someone you love them one last time, or hearing that person say I am so proud of you is a huge deal when loosing someone. I dont know I would hope that in my life if anyone were to be passing away I would hope they would tell me because I would have more to say than, "hey talk to you later". You never know what tomorrow holds so make sure people always know how important they are to you.
This week in the nannying world has been crappy too. I got scolded by another nanny for the kid she was watching pounding on the kids I was watching, only because he responded with a "if you do that again Im going to punch you in the face." I feel that is fair considering she wasnt doing anything about it lol.
I have been slacking at the bridal diet thing too, I skipped the gym like 3 times this week which means I have to go this weekend. Fack. I also have decided that I may not be having my whole wedding at the venue I was thinking of because they want all of my guests to stand during my ceremony and we cant have any decorations or an arbor nothing so I decided I am going to try and make it somewhere else with an amazing off the beaten path ceremony site. Time to get creative.
ugh that was my week, really slacked on the writing this week sorry.
blog to you later.
