    Own a bakery
    Have my own cooking show
    Own a breakfast only restaurant
    Small organic farm
    Own a doggie boutique
    Run a dog rescue
    Stay at home dog mom!

  5. Horse boarding facility owner,
    Cook in my own restaurant,
    Herbalist,
    Organic farmer,
    Writer,
    and my favorite daydream career -
    Historical reenactor on an Antebellum or Westward expansion era farm/ranch.

    But, in all honesty I have it really good as things stand right now!

  6. Nice list!

    I would curl up in an armchair and read all day and late into the night. Preferably a different armchair in a different hotel in a different city every week!

  10. Hi Karissa and Sandy!

    Thank you for contributing your lists!

    I am a big advocate for part time work. It's more balanced that way, I feel.

    Though, I would have to agree with you Sandy about yearning to spend all of your time doing various hobbies. Exciting times coming for you!

    Some days, I feel my 3 days a week paid work is still too much in the way of the rest of my life!
