When I Grow Up...

... I want to be Bethenny Frankel.

I love this woman. I know most people cannot stand the lady, and she makes a lot of people cringe (like my sister), but every time I watch her show I can see myself in her. It might be because she overreacts to almost everything. The episode where the turkey is under cooked for her first Thanksgiving with her in-laws and she stomps off into her bedroom... soooo me! It might be because she has no filter on her mouth, much like myself, and she started as a foodie... something I aspire to be.

She honestly has the life I would love. She has the most beautiful family. She has the most wonderful apartment in the city. She has an amazing office in her home. She has an assistant for crying out loud. She has a nanny who is also a hairdresser. Her husband loves her more than life itself. She was so frightened to have a child and she is the funniest, most loving mommy ever, something I hope I will be. And she has made her career on cocktails!

She's so brutally honest it makes me laugh. And she is so kind. But I think what I really admire is she made the most wonderful career just being herself and working incredibly hard. She is now at the point her in her life where she can do anything, dream anything and make it a reality, say anything she wants on her show and people with laugh, and I am so jealous.

I want to be Bethenny Frankel when I grow up. Okay, okay, I most likely will not have a very successful line of ready-made cocktails with a matching tour bus. But, I know that I am as big of a nutcase as Bethenny, but I hope to be as kind, loving, and absolutely hilarious as she is.
