Aloha Friday #65

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

Today’s question is:

What is your dream job?

  1. I would love to work on a TV show! I don’t know exactly what I want to do…maybe writing or producing? Something like that!

  2. Lead singer in a rock band.

  3. Graphic artist or writer. LOL I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

  4. I have to say that I love what I am doing right now – teaching.

  5. I agree- I teach third grade in the district I grew up in and I can’t even imagine anything better. :o )

  6. I would really love to be a crime scene investigator. But because of so much time creating our family I just haven’t had the time for college yet.

  7. Abby says:

    At this point in time my dream job would be to stay at home with my little man full time. Unfortunatley that is not in the cards at this point in time!

  8. Just Mom says:

    To be paid to blog.

    I’m a first-time Aloha Friday participant. I’m also a former resident of Honolulu. The Aloha Friday idea is a wonderful idea. Thanks for hosting it.

  9. Louise says:

    Is to work from home creating webpages for people and companies. Or working at Pixar designing cartoons. Either one, so I can use my comp sci and my creative art side

  10. Bridgette says:

    Always wanted to be a dancer on tour with Janet Jackson! LOL!

  11. Diane says:

    I would love to be an art therapist in a women’s prison or juvenille facility.

    Actually it is my current job: being a SAHM.

    Since my children are all grown now, my dream job is to be back in the Philippines as a career missionary. I loved it with all my heart!

  14. Tara says:

    hmm I would run an orphanage!

  15. Honestly, I really don’t know. Something with computers – that was the part that I really loved about my previous job. And I love what I’m doing now with blogging, product reviews and such – although it’s not really a ‘job’ per se. I wish there was a way that it could be though – I’d happy turn this into a career if it were a possibility. :)

    Actually, I think my dream job would be something I love doing that would allow me the flexibility to be there for my family and kids the way I want to be. But does such a thing really exist? Sigh.

  16. Jen says:

    This is an easy one! I would LOVE to be a casting director for a major motion picture, preferably a romantic comedy.

  17. sagemom says:

    Something to do with travel…like traveling all over the world and reviewing resorts and attractions and restaurants =)

    I would love to own my own drive in theatre. That has been my dream for years :)

    I think I would enjoy writing books . . . I think . . . maybe . . . sorta.

    To be a great mom :)

  22. Sarah says:

    I would like to work in a nursery (the plant variety). To be outside – only when it’s warm. And the calm of plants :) They have no drama which is ever present in our house of 3 girls!

    Or to be a cupcake decorator. Oh, the decisions!

  23. Margo says:

    I would either publish and edit my own magazine, be a book editor or a movie producer.

  24. Could it get any better than being a SAHM in Hawaii?

  25. Is it just me or is the Mr. Linky missing?

  26. Kari says:

    My dream job would be something really creative (since in real life, I’m not very creative, LOL)….I would love to be a novelist.

  32. Right now I love being a stay at home mom, but some day I’d love to do something involving either a bookstore, coffee shop, bakery or some combination of those three. I’d also love to edit novels. :)

  33. Dee says:

    Honestly..this is it…just being mom! I THOUGHT at one time that I wanted to be a nurse, but I did that and it wasn’t my thing.

    I have always thought that running a place that does wedding receptions would be fun!

  34. Although a SAHM now, I am a teacher. I love my job. One day I hope to go back again and be in a 1st grade classroom :)

  35. Cathi says:

    My actual dream job would be, regular volunteer work for the Red Cross and participating in Airline Ambassador missions.

  36. I always wanted to be a teacher and was before staying home with the kiddos. Now being a mom has it’s dream job days with a couple crazy days mixed in :-)

    BTW-first time here today…I love, love, love your layout.

  37. Jen says:

    For me it’s doing what I currently do… be a stay at home mom!

  38. Jen says:

    have to say it’s my ideal job…
    It may not be the best hours, or even very flexible right now, but you can’t beat the pay… (kisses, hug, smiles, etc.)

  51. Sarah says:

    I love staying home with my kids and wouldn’t trade it for any job. That said, I wouldn’t mind if it came with a paycheck!

    I’ve wanted to be a cake decorator since I was a kid, but I have neither the talent or the patience for it.

  52. Pegsy says:

    It’s kind of a toss up between photographer or wedding planner.

    Well your a stewardess…. and you live there. Sounds logical…:)

    I am doing my dream job. I longed for 16 years to be a mother. I always longed to be a stay at home Mom, I am enjoying service work in the elementary helping out under privileged and learning disabled kids without having to have a boss. I am growing my own food, raising chickens and have an awesome sewing /art and crafts studio. I have arrived.
    I always wanted a home of my own and a man that loved God (not a religious man).
    I am so blessed!
