5-7 years old my mother would go to rummage sales and buy the used gowns. So at that time I wanted to be a princess. After 7, I was a "wild child". Grew up with all boys in the neighborhood. I played with the boys and took my hits, bumps and bruises. It made me tough. I can remember playing baseball and I was up. All the guys move in and I slammed that ball futher then most of them could. The pussy's.

As time went on I never had any thoughts of being anything. Absolutley Nothing. I was good at music. I started to learn the guitar, violin, piano, harmonicas and wood recorders. I was best at the clarinet, that I still have. I was in the 1st line in the symphony and band in high school. I could hit high notes others couldnt.

I can count the jobs I had on my 2 hands, in other words not going over 10. I started to get into photography but couldnt master it. Dont know why I didnt keep doing it. So I keep looking back what I did, what I accomplished. I was a certified dental assistant for 5 years. I let my license expire and now I wouldnt be able to pass the test with all the new techniques without going back to school. That WONT happen as the closest school is 45 miles away - one way. I am sure the money is wicked good now!

So I am looking back, hum what should I have done? I should have been a figure skater. I did moves that most people would have to have a trainer to master. I did axels - yes axels. I bet I could of mastered the 3 axel move that Tonya Harding did. I had one mean pair of legs and balance. I bet I would have an Olympic Medal in figure skating. I still have my skates.

At 53 I still have a mean pair of legs and I dont run or exercise. Now I dont even hardley dare to jump off a 1 foot step! Now what am I good at? Ebay and growing plants in the GH. The end.
