It's my job

I watched a special on TV last night about the current Oscar nominees. I love the Oscars. I think it is because secretly (or not so secretly) I have always wanted to walk that red carpet that night myself. Growing up all I wanted to be was an actress.

I even checked into the 'acting' program at a college once, but who was I kidding? There is no money (really) in an acting diploma. You either act - or you don't.

I might have gotten part of my wish. My husband thinks I'm always acting dramatic, and my kids think I'm funny! You take what you can get I suppose. ;)

As for my other skills: Last night I was loading the dishwasher. My hubs was in and out of the room, and when he came back he said, "Wow. You're already done? You're fast."

I said, "Thanks, but I do this for a living...so you know..."
I do this for a living??? I guess I do. No big red carpet for me. I turned out to be a dishwasher! ha!

I was on a friends blog yesterday and she had a color personality test thing linked to her site. I took it and here are my results. I think they are amazingly accurate...for a test taken by looking at colors. (although I think the order of importance should be flipped)
