Then and now

Things I thought I would be doing at 27 when I was 7:

  • Being the CEO of a major company 
  • Having 7 dogs (3 Corgis, 2 collies, 1 Border Collie, and 1 Golden Retriever)
  • Eating as much candy as I want
  • Living in a castle by the sea
  • Owning ponies
  • Having a really serious business suit
  • Being a world-famous author
  • having a licenseplate that said VICKIK13
  • Living in Colorado, California, or Florida
  • Being a graphic designer
  • Eating ice cream every day
  • Staying up as late as I want

Things I’m actually doing now: 

  • Being the CEO of my household
  • Still being afraid of buying business suits
  • Planning on watching The Lion King and drinking champagne tonight
  • Buying frozen yogurt instead of ice cream because it has less calories
  • Taking walks after dinner
  • Avoiding driving and figuring out how to pay less in car insurance for a vehicle I never use
  • Calculating my 401k
  • Searching for high-thread count sheets on sale on Amazon
  • Staying away from WebMD
  • Staying up as late as I want on the Internet, as long as I go to bed by 10 so I can wake up early to write

Yikes.
