I know we must all get asked this question at least once in our life, “What are going to be when you grow up?” And yes the answer changes throughout the years as you get closer and closer to college, where you finally decide. Well, I want to know this answer. I have too many options and I’m good at too many things. Tonight, I got compliments on my fashion design (option one) and that I should go into college for fashion, but then I have my love and talent of horses (option two). I just love the animal. Then acting (option three) is also something I have always loved and would love to just go out and accomplish. Then I would love to be a minister (option four and final option). I just love the places my minister goes and I think it would be cool to do. I want to know what you answered the question as a kid.
What would you like to be when you grow up?

Left to Our Weakness
There are a lot of things that my dd and I are good at. We can conquer a lot together, but the hardware of technology is not our forte. But today, we conquered this field.
I have been planning to watch The Good Earth tonight after I finished the book. But as I popped in the DVD, I saw the picture, but had no sound. I started to grumble at my husband who had now left for a canoe trip with the Boy Scout Troop. He had hooked up his computer to show us the YouTube version of The Last Lecture. And while it was certainly a worthy show for our whole family to watch, I was not feeling very thankful when my evening was being spoilt. So I pulled out the DVD / VCR to look at the connections (as if I knew what I was looking at – HA!). Two connectors, a red and a yellow where not plugged in, but where to put them? I made a best guess, but nothing. Tried something else – nothing. Ok, I’ve got to move the tv. DD needed to be called. I hollered down the hall. Sure enough when we were able to pull out the tv, there were three connections undone. Hmmm! We tried a couple of times but to no avail. Now, I could get sound, but I lost picture. I swore at my husband under my breath for not putting it back in order. I put the tv back and dismissed my dd. I gave up and sat down. But not to let this situation get the best of me, I quickly called her back. We would not be defeated! She helped me pull out the tv again. We fiddled, replugged, changed the AV channel and SUCCESS – picture and sound. My evening was back on track.
After all was said and done, I must admit that I liked the book better and felt the movie kind of ruined the pictures in my mind. I personally think that Hollywood should seriously consider remaking this video with a truer rendition of the book. My dd and I would be happy to consult with any hardware issues that they may run into.
