When I Grow Up

I have changed my mind about what I wanna be when I grow up several times through the years.  In order I have wanted to be: an Olympic ice skater, a circus performer, a gymnast, a veterinarian, a marine biologist, a mom, and now a pharmacist.  I have no doubt that as I grow in experience and as my life continues to change, that I will decide to be something else later in life.  There have been a few constants as I have changed my mind; these things have gradually turned into more of a to-do list. 

What stayed with me from my "circus performing" dream, was the desire to learn how to ride a unicycle.  I have always wanted one, just because.  I made a couple posts about it on my Facebook page throughout the years.  My friends thought I was weird for it but I've never been afraid to be weird LOL

So, when I met Steve, he decided to Facebook stalk me (he called it reconnaissance).  He found these posts and decided to buy me a unicycle and have it shipped to my house.  Only I didn't know it was from him.  The note that amazon put in the box was really small and at the bottom of the box of peanuts.  Once I saw the unicycle I didn't take the time to look for a tiny piece of paper. 

I tried for about a week to master the unicycle... alas I did not succeed.  It didn't help that the tire went flat.

I am trying again to ride it.  Steve aired up the tire for me and I am more than a little bit excited!!!!
Hopefully, it wont take me forever to learn.  I'm thinking that I could use this somehow.  Join Steve on his campaign trail and ride across the platform on my unicycle with a big sign that says Vote For Steve.  If that doesn't work maybe I can walk amongst the crowd in stilts!
