sexy before and after makeover magic

well, here she was before the magic. you could call her sturdy...and utilitarian...you could see her potential. (not what every lady likes to hear, right girls?)


and here she is after a little spa time (she got the orbital sanding treatment) color consultation, proper product use technique, a good waxing and buffing.



normally she is not the type of lady to let you see her in such a vulnerable moment but she has to share that her transformation is not just superficial...her insides have changed as well. she is feeling brighter, more colorful...playful even!
running with her new found sense of deep inner confidence and beauty she decided to attend a little holiday party at A Room With a Past. she mingled with the other party goers, but as you can see, she was clearly the belle of the ball.
she had a wonderful evening and as luck (or is it makeover magic) would have it...she found herself a new house to go to...a lovely grandma and grandpa spotted her and decided she would be perfect for their grandchild's room they were fixing up at their house.
so ladies, let that be a lesson to you...take a little time to gussy yourself up once in awhile...you never know what adventure might be waiting for you. according to this pic i should probably take my own advice since this is what i tend to look like while i am creating makeover magic on unsuspecting potential beauties...now if only somebody would come and give me some makeover magic...i could use a good orbital sanding...

the question....






"so, what do you do?" an innocent enough question, right? we meet at a social gathering, I ask you, you ask me....no big deal right? except for me it kinda is...because I never know how to answer it. my problem is that i do so many odds and ends kinda things that i do not have just one answer. 
so what do i do?
a. list all of my things i do:
1. baby boot camp instructor
2. personal trainer
3. preschool/elementary school substitute teacher
4. etsy shop owner
5. Room With a Past curator
6. daycare provider
7. cupcake flavor sign lady (see above)at Sinful Bliss
8. occasional commissioned artist for room murals, tattoo designs and other artwork  
9. full time mom!

and watch as eyes glaze over

or b. answer in a vague way that makes it seem like i am hiding something i.e.
"oh, you know...keep busy!"
and watch as eyes become guarded as in "what is this lady hiding...is she one of those suburban mom drug cartel ladies i've heard so much about?"

sooooo, is this even a real problem? do any of you creative types out there ever encounter this dilemma? how should i answer the next time "the question" comes up?
