We are a dream...Thanks for commenting, everyone!!!<br /><br />We are a dreamy and inspired bunch. <br /><br />Regarding paleontology: I see how one can romanticize it and such (I get a bit enamored after watching the Discovery channel, even), but when you think about it, it's just years and years of digging dirt. I admire the patience so many scientists possess. I would be bored to tears! But maybe if I got to name an extinct species after myself, I would persevere. It's all ego.<br /><br />Belinda:<br />Thank you so very much for your kind words!! It really means a lot to me - I started doing this in January when I was just so fed up and in pain - I find it therapeutic, and have gotten so much support from family and friends. As you can see, not all entries are Crohn's related, but all Crohn's and no play makes Jane (er, Kathryn) a dull girl.<br /><br />Isn't Crohn's the worst? I figure us girls might as well shed some light on the disease - no one else will! (It's just not one of those "trendy / sexy" diseases, you know? Not that ANY are.) <br /><br />When you start writing again, I would love to read your blog!! Thank you again (and I'm glad you enjoy the writing - you really know how to appeal to a girl's vanity!) ;-)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746789901825076957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139882958054288362.post-44084498735485210782009-05-15T21:24:00.000-04:002009-05-15T21:24:00.000-04:00I wanted to be a paleontologist, too!

I had acquired quite a nifty fossil fern collection from traipsing around the culm banks near Mahanoy City, and even looked into the major offered at U of Pennsylvania. But alas, I settled for biology at Penn State, more practical, and I married my lab partner!

After...When I was very small...Supergirl/detective.<br />After I started considering it seriously I realised I have a passion for marketing which has since developed into Online marketing :)<br /><br />I just have to say, I recently came accross your blog while looking for motivation to blog again. I also have Crohn's and have recently realised I 'fear' opening up on my blog and therefore am ignoring my blog at the moment.<br /><br />Which brings me to the reason why I'm telling you this: I think you have an amazing writing talent. Your blog is the only one I've found that I read from A-Z and even chuckle or shed a tear along the way. It doesn't leave me feeling empty or depressed but actually inspires me. Perhaps you should consider making writing more of a career ;)Belindahttp://crohnsandlife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139882958054288362.post-70305337755412788512009-05-15T12:02:00.000-04:002009-05-15T12:02:00.000-04:00I have lots of things I love, which I get to do--b...I have lots of things I love, which I get to do--but also have to have something that pays the bills, which can be tricky.

I wanted to be a lawyer ...Matt, you make me laugh!<br /><br />I wanted to be a lawyer at one point. I am INCREDIBLY legalistic- just ask my mom! I realized, however, that being a lawyer involves public speaking, which I am pretty much deathly afraid of, and years and years of college, which I am also deathly afraid of! So that kinda ruled that out. So I settled for my second choice, which was to be a wife and Mommy (or as my son says, Mama). That has turned out pretty well for me!Lauren Eckertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139882958054288362.post-68310694957613403542009-05-14T08:32:00.000-04:002009-05-14T08:32:00.000-04:00I wanted to be a dolphin trainer at Sea World and ...I wanted to be a dolphin trainer at Sea World and a famous author/writer. Later I still wanted to be a writer but I also wanted to be a motivational speaker about Crohn's then eventually I wanted to be an evangelist to teach people about God.
