Predictions

Frances and I would make predictions about the future when we were younger. We conduct a list of what we thought would be happening to us and the people around us in the next five years.

I remember how much fun it would be to go back, and reread the things we wrote about. Most of it would be silly, and some of it would later become true. It's one of the ways we kept ourselves entertained. We would also play card games for hours on end. That and walking the dog was our specialty.

Frances and I are dreamers. We would dream of the day we would become roommates. We discussed how we would decorate our house, and how one day we would die laughing while sitting in rock chairs (Doesn't everyone want to die that way?). We discussed the what we would be doing, and how we would turn out. 

Oh... I miss those days, and how the biggest goals in our lives had to do with traveling. (Boy did I go off tangent. I only meant to share the fact that I like predicting future events, but then I started walking down memory lane.)

In ten years, I would probably:

1. Traveled to at least 5 foreign countries.
2. Finally picked a career, and am sticking to it. I may be a geologist, a paralegal, a photographer, or even a bum. I better be doing something I enjoy.
3. Be married with two kids. I'll have a girl and then a boy. (Just like my family.)
4. Own a Saint Bernard named Bear. I love those dogs. They are huge and lovable.
5. Be more confident and social. (That is a goal I am currently working on. IT'S SO HARD.)
6. Drive a hybrid. 
7. Have had lasik eye surgery. If not, I will be blind.

I'm sure I'll be happy no matter what happens to me.
