If I could be a ...

What follows is a list of different occupations. You must select at least five of them. You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select five of the items as it was passed to you).

Of the five you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession. Then pass it on to three other bloggers.

Here's that list:

If I could be a scientist...

Because Kate asked, if I could be...
a linguist...I would speak perfect Spanish, French and Japanese.
an architect...I would build my dream house with a South Texas flair.
a painter...I would use watercolors to paint flowers, flowers and more flowers.
a gardener...highways across the country would be lined with native plants and flowers blooming year round (if possible!).
a writer...I would write smart, funny, endearing chick lit.

I'm adding to the list:
If I could be a personal trainer…
If I could be a professional race car driver…
If I could be a stand-up comedian…

And I'm asking three ladies I admire . . . Lisa, Snidget and Syd . . . to play along.
