Ok! I'll go first!

If I weren't a nurse, I'd be an Elephant Trainer at the Indianapolis Zoo!

(Sort of "fell in love" with the baby elephant there named Sophie. I got to pet her last summer!)

I know, pathetic......but on my b-day I turned 41...I'm really reaching for my youthful side lately!:chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

good one, baby elephants are so precious, especially when they are very young and don't know how to use their trunks yet!

Let's do something light-hearted!

I'd like to know in one sentence what your dream job would be if you could choose anything...anything at all.

My dream job would be a photographer for National Geographic.

I want to be a Herr's potato chip inspector..I want to pick the burnt chips off of the conveyor ...Sadly they now have a machine to do it......

I'd test subjects to make sure they were up to the high standards set for models in the fold out section of Playgirl magazine :)

I'd like to be a veterinarian......(unfortunately I came close to that dream.....got accepted but couldn't go because of money).

DO NOT give up on the veterinarian dream...my mom's best friend went back and graduated at 57. She was fulfilling a dream, simply enough. Yea, debt accumulated, but she is NOT sorry she did this.

I would be a barista (coffee/specialty drink maker) in a little coffee kiosk on the ocean shores of WA state....I would serve the BEST java/mochas/capuccine in town and know ALL the locals and have fun w/the tourists. I would live in a shack right on the water and need NOTHING luxurious other than the view.

This is a seriuos dream of mine. I am trying to figure out how to make it happen....:)

If I weren't a nurse I'd run a pizza joint and throw the pies myself! I'd serve large NY size slices and run open mike nights for all of my talented friends to entertain us.
