…Wears this kind of jewelry…
and these kind of boots…
And carries this purse… only when absolutely necessary….

My Other Self lives in this cottage with her (same!) family….
and looks like this in her skinny jeans….
and does this…
..for them…
and makes good money at it ,too….
Enough, even, to give these two a better life…
…and so many more.
My Other Self has these two constant companions…
Australian Cattle dogs named Axel and Rose….
and looks out over this with morning coffee when she’s not
on a shoot for Nat Geo ….
and drives this, most often with the roof off…
and soaks here at the end of a long day.
What does YOUR Other Self look like?
I challenge you to do a similar post
Send me your blogpost link and I’ll put it under the hot tub here….
Come on, you can do it.

Your other self lives an adventurous life! A great challenge, I'll try it!
wow….i didn't know you had an other self. this is quite the challenge and with a day already pretty full, i'll try to participate in this, but it might take me awhile to get it together 🙂
xo
My other self wants to know if your other self will let her be your lady in waiting. Oh, may my OS borrow your OS's bracelet, purse and boots for the real self's class reunion. 🙂
You don't really want to know my OS, there are too many of them. 🙂
Wow, this looks like fun! I'll see if I can get it done! Love this! But for now I'm getting ready to head to Maine!
I love her jewelry.
What fun! I think I will live vicariously through your other life:) Won't be around for a few days so I could use another life to get a few things done!
very thought-provoking…i'll do one when i get home from the child's riding lesson….
The more I thought about this, the more I realized that I have many other selves. I would be as at home in a cottage as in a castle. I could rule the world or volunteer in an animal shelter. I'd have 1000 purses but maybe never carry one!
You have really lit a spark under me!
XO,
Jane
HI Karen, I did it, here's my link!

My other self for sure lives by the sea…, in a cozy comfy cottage with wide plank wooden floors…, or in a chic highrise with all the amenities you can dream up! Two other selves here, haha.
This looks like SO much fun, I'm going to pull something together and put it up tomorrow! What a great idea!!!! I love it!!!!!
AND, I love everything about your Other Self just as much as I love who your are now!
Ha, I love it! I'd have to think it over awhile, as it changes almost daily when I think up the next great adventure. Sailing the greek isles sounds a bit restorative these days, while I write the great american novel! Ah, everyone has to have a dream!!
Oh this is so fun! I'm gonna try really hard to do it girl – but I can't promise. I think my otherself would at least be dressed for the day by now…sheesh…
I did it! I think this is just the coolest idea! Hugs! Diane ♥

game on….i did it. my other self is up and running 🙂
My other self has eyebrows, nice hair and smooth, glowing skin!
I don't dare go there, Karen. Actually, my other self and my self are pretty much alike. Accept for the wrinkles. My other self has flawless skin. And lots of money to spend on Nikon lenses. That is all. 🙂
My Other Self is coming!!!!! This is going to be FUN!!!!
YAY! Your post is back up! I hope a few more will take the challenge! Happy weekend! ♥
You lost your comments too! I'm gonna do this soon. I promise. 🙂
love this!
Ohhhh I LOVE this post, Karen!! Too much fun–I'm gonna do this soon, too!!! xo
amazing!

Have a great weekend.
I lost all my comments on this post . . . thanks blogger! This was a lot of fun!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I found you over at Jane's (Blondie) & I LOVED this post! I have a lot of different selves. I need to think about this… But, I did LOVE this post. GREAT IDEA! Charlene
of course, my post of my other self got eaten by blogger yesterday when it had it's gigantic hiccup….
BUT it's back, and it's the post prior to the most recent one on my blog 🙂
thanks again karen for a fantastic game and challenge !!
Thanks Karen. I love your other self almost as much as I love your 1st self.
I'll have to think this over. Never thought about it before!

Really enjoyed this. Here is my post: http://journallingthroughphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-other-self.html
I love your OTHER self-=Almost as much as I love your real self!!! But I have to tell ya- I would rip those turquoise boots off your feet in a heart beat -well, I would wait til you stepped out of them to get into the hot tub! Hugs- Diana
This was great! Love yours and had fun with mine!

I really enjoyed doing this… what a great idea! It's fun to see what everyone's "alternate self" dreams of.

Ok, I'm blaming this all on Country Girl, where I first read about it!
Thanks so much Karen for hosting such an interesting "what-if" about our Other Self…I had a whole lot of fun, my very first blog challenge ever :>]]

I found you via Kamana and thought this was such a fun idea, I did it too. http://knittingthewind.blogspot.com/2011/05/one-of-these-days.html
Karen, I'm so sorry about getting your name wrong on my blog…not sure where that came from!! It must be from jet setting around my virtual "dream big" world too much and suffering from jetlag…at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking too it.
What a great idea Karen. I love your dream. Very exciting stuff. I'm off now to see some of the other dreams….

Karen, that was fun! Great idea. I found out about the challenge on Chronicles of a Country Girl.Here is my post:

I loved this idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
Here is mine: http://minearebetter.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/my-other-self/
I know I'm late, but I had that whole sprained ankle thing going on.
Karen, this was SO much fun!!!!!
Here's my link, I hope you'll still find time to drop by: http://www.shellbellestikihut.com/2011/05/my-other-self.html
Wonderful post. I often dream of 'my other self'. I don't have a blog. Is there a way I can post 'my other self' without a blog? It will be fun to come up with something. Mine will be similar to yours with the working for National Geographic. I can't wait to pick out my house. I live in a condo now but dream of having my own house.
