Wishful Wednesday... Careers

This week's topic is:

'I wish' .... I had the opportunity to change careers and it would be to a professional organizer/designer

I'm not a big fan of my job because that's what it is a job, it's not intended to be permanent, just something to figure out what I really want to do. If I could do anything I would love to be an all-in-one home designer (organization, redesign, and interior/exterior design). I love the fact that I can 'see' how a potential area can be restructured to a new and better purpose.

It would be awesome to turn rooms like this:

into rooms like this:

(via here)

I would love to be a decorator/organizer/re-designer! I think it would be very rewarding and a great way to use all my creative energy. (And benefit from all those hours watching HGTV, haha).

Hopefully one day this dream will come true! :)

Top 2 Favorite Books

It's been awhile since I've participated in Top 2, this week is on books! Which is kinda hard since I love to read and have a lot of favorite books. But here's my Top 2!

(1) The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks

I love Nicholas Sparks' boks they really drag you in but this is my favorite book ever.
(2) Divine by Karen Kingsbury

My mom got me started on Karen Kingsbury books, she usually does series but this is a stand alone.

Be sure to head on over to Taylor's to play along and check out everyone's answers!

miscellany monday

(1) I went through my shoes on Saturday. I was quite shocked when I laid out every shoe on the floor to see what all was in my closet. Half the shoes I never wear anymore, I'm secretly a pack rat. However, I bit the bullet and tossed about 1/3 of my shoes into a garage sale/giveaway pile. I now have a nice and organized shoe area in my closet. Man, it feels good to be organized! Now I just have to tackle my clothes, esp those that are hiding in the farthest area of the closet.

(2) We went to Barnes and Noble after dinner one night this weekend and had a lot of fun browsing through books. It was hard to pick just two books but I can't wait to get started on the ones I ended up with.

(3) It's been so hot this weekend that it wasn't remotely enjoyable to be outside, and today isn't any better. This summer is for sure to be a hot one and I'm not looking forward to it.

(4) My birthday is next weekend, June 20th, and I still have no big plans and that's perfectly fine with me since we're having a big 4th of July shindig at the beach that's gonna last a week that I'm stoked about!

(5) I'm thinking about a career change, or should I say job change since my current job isn't a career thing exactly... ohh decisions. I guess I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up haha.
