Dream Job & #xvsdailylife2014 Week 38

The Daily Tay

Dream job when you were little? What is it now?

I had a lot of dream jobs when I was a kid. I wanted to be a model, an actress, an ice skater in the winter and gymnast in the summer - thanks Olympic Games!
But at the end of the day I always wanted to do something with math. I loved math as a kid!
Now this is almost too embarrassing to admit, but when I was little I would go back and forth wanting to be either an accountant or a cashier.
Seriously.
Who wants to grow up to be a cashier?
I always loved playing with my toy cash register, making change, etc. But my favorite thing to do was "scan" items. I loved the belt that would move things and then I was able to pretend to scan them and enter info into the register. 
I know, odd. But it was so much fun when I was little! 

As an adult I have had a few different jobs from receptionist at a Mercedes Benz dealership to working at an insurance office to being a server (not for me!).
 But what I always fall back on and what I currently do today involves math.
I have spent the last 10 years working in the financial industry.
Not at all what I really thought I would be doing at 35, but if I look back to my childhood dreams...I am right on track :)
Funny how things come full circle and you don't even realize it!

I would love to hear in the comments below what your dream job was compared to what you do now.
Do you have a job in the field you studied for?

#BLOGTOBER14 & Pinspired!

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

Eek! It is the 1st day of October!!!
I just love this month!

This month I am hoping to keep up joining Taylor & Helene for
Helene in Between

Of course I am going to keep up with my normal daily/weekly/monthly link ups as well!
Get ready for a super fun month!

If you want to join the fun, here are the #BLOGTOBER14 topics for each day :)

Now let's get started!

If you won the lottery you'd...

I assume this question means I hit the big time money, not just a few hundred or thousand dollars.
I would probably do the right thing first by paying off all debt.
Then my friend, I would have some fun!

I would buy some land and build our dream home.

I would take vacations to Hawaii & Disney World.

I would purchase a new vehicle - think Range Rover or Mercedes Benz G Wagon.

We would plan trips to visit all of the Auto Shows all over the world - we like cars :)

And last, but certainly not least....I would buy season tickets, first row on the 50 yard line for my Cleveland Browns!

What would you do if you won the lottery?


And now it is time for every blogger & reader's favorite post of the month...

Shay/Sheaffer/Mel

I saw this image on Pinterest awhile ago and knew that I would be recreating once the temps dropped in Ohio.

Imagine my surprise when I go to read this post by Sheaffer :)
Other than a mustard item, I was rockin' a super similar outfit!
I'd like to say great minds think alike here ;)
Military jacket sold out - similar
Blue gingham shirt sold out - similar
Vigoss jeans sold out - similar
Leopard flats - here

I loved this look!
Now I am totally thinking I need to add the mustard to the mix :)

What do you think?
