Hi Robin! No, I am not currently using TP–I’d have a lot to learn, but I’m willing! Second, my dream job would have to be a travel agent/tour guide. I love planning trips (for myself and others), and I LOVE seeing new places. To be able to make money travelling would be a thrill for me.
I am not currently using TP.ty 4 the awesome giveaway and entry:)
i’m not using typepad… funny post! i think my dream job would be book / movie reviewer for our local paper. not a lot of stress, but i get to read all sorts of stuff, watch movies and get paid for having opinions on them.
I am not using typepad. I’m pretty much doing my dream job of stay at home mom, but if I were to have ANOTHER job, it would be snickers taster, or travel hotel secret tester, where you stay at fancy hotels and then rate them on their service. Yeah, that would be it.
I’m not using typepad and I’m already a subscriber. I think I have my dream job…being a SAHM is what I really want to do.
I do not use typepad, but think it would be cool to try. My dream job would be a children’s book illustrator.
Hi robin! I am not currently a typepad user either…but I would love to learn! My dream job–a photographer for national geographic! I loved your post! It ended like my good dreams end-being woken up by husband or a child!
Hi Robin. I am not a current user of TP. Thanks for the story on Dream Job, it was a nice insight on a first day. My dream job would be somewhere where each day is a new challenage and I would need to solve problems in creative ways. And where my co-workers do not act like they are in middle school drama. Thanks for the giveaway entry.
I’m not a TP user either. (Sorry. Nothing personal, really!)
I loved your post when I read it last week. Still think it’s grand. My Dream Job would have to be in total dreamland ’cause I can’t do it and raise children. (And, though somedays I’d give them away, I wouldn’t want to do it permanently.) Going on the road with Springsteen. Not in the band. Maybe just responsible for his rags.
Hello…currently a blogger user…and I was not going to get in on this contest b/c frankly, I’m kind of scared of typepad. If you are tech-impaired, then I am computer illiterate. But your post did put my mind at ease on many points.. so I will jump in here and go for a shoot at typepad.
My dream job would be to be caretaker on an tropical island … with my familiy, wi-fi and all the comforts of home. ( and yes, for those of you who saw the news about that particular dream job website crashing…I was one of those fools trying to get on)
I currently don’t use Typepad. My BFF has been using it for about 5 years and loves it. Your Dream Job post was so funny. I bet you wanted to kick your husband. LOL! My “dream” job is to be a backup singer for Jill Scott. My more realistic dream job is to be a writer and book store owner. Thanx for such an awesome giveaway.
1. I am not a Typepad user.
2. I would love to travel the world writing freelance articles for magazines and maybe a few Christian chicklit books thrown in there. I’d also love to be a food critic, but I feel like there are too many things I don’t like.
I am not a typepad user, but have considered switching over.
I have subscribed in google reader!
I loved the dream job post, I really believed it, and thought Wow, then I was even dissapointed that it was a dream!!!
I should’ve realized that the title “Dream Job” was indeed a pun!
Thanks

And I forgot to add that my dream job would be to be an actress, I know it sounds cliche, but I have always had that itch to be in Hollywood, and exprience all that it has to offer!
Not a Typepad user, but I love your layout… and my dream job is to be a SAHM.
I’m not a TP user, but since I’m on a huge learning curve this year I’d love to give it a try!
Loved the post! The skepticism didn’t set in until the Candy Man appeared, lol!
My dream job would be to work from home as a consultant/presenter/public speaker on empowerment and life balance issues with a (non-exclusive)focus on adults with disabilities. Or as a life coach…As a single parent with disabilities, it would allow me the flexibility to continue working and to use my own life experiences and wisdom to help others.

I remember when Typepad launched, but haven’t really used it since then. But WordPress is getting annoying, and since my dream job IS to run a music blog that actually turns a profit, a Typepad account would…rock!
thank you for such a giving heart pls add me
altermyworld(dot)angw(at)gmail(dot)com
Yes i have a typepad and am thinking of letting it lapse due to the economy i would lvoe to win this.
i would love to own an artist retreat, i would love to nurture the artist soul feed our hearts and have a vision of art for the ones who can’t afford to do it.
Ang
I loved that blog post. haha. too bad it was only a dream! My dream job would be a photo studio owner. =) I don’t currently use typepad. =) I would love to win this, thanks!
Not currently on Typepad…
I had to laugh at your dream job…you made it feel as real to us as I’m sure it did to you. My dream job would be as a children’s author. I often dream about it too, although there is no obnoxious guy on a cell phone anywhere in my dream…but plenty of chocolate…always chocolate!
I am not a type pad user. I am doing my dream job, freelance writer!
LMAO! I saw that post since I subscribe and I thought It was sooooo cool – I was like “GO! PENSIEVEROBIN!” then I read it was just a dream. But a good one! You’re one funny (and talented) chick!
My dream job is to write Fiction. I have always loved to write. And that will allow me my other dream job,
Stay At Home Mom.
I am not a TP user – and I am sooooo ready to upgrade from Blogger!
Here’s the URL of my tweet: http://twitter.com/pricousins/status/1155100051
I already use TypePad Pro. Love it, love it! No clue why anyone would use anything else. But if they wanted to give me a free year…That’d be way cool.
And you know my dream job would be playing bass for someone cool like Tom Petty. Or the Wilson sisters. Umm…trying to think who else is still touring that could tolerate a mouthy, middle-aged she-bassists.
I’m on Typepad – have been here for a year – and I LURVE it.
I love your Dream Job post. You totally had me going. It was so vivid – I could completely imagine the whole thing.
My dream job? Just to be a published author, that’s all I ask. Is that too much?
This is an amazing giveaway! I would LOVE a pro account. I currently have PLUS, but sure would like to have multiple author capabilities!
(We follow each other on Twitter – I’m off to tweet!)
I used typepad for 2 weeks and loved it. I just couldn’t afford it 🙁
My dream job? I would love to run a Bed and Breakfast with my hubby. He would cook (loves to cook and dang good at it) and I would decorate. We would offer Yoga in the mornings and have a couple family friendly rooms. Lots of hiking opportunities and a big hot tub.
That would be AWESOME!
Tweeted it! http://twitter.com/prairiemama1/status/1155817972
I am not currently using TP, and right now don’t have a blog. Had one some time ago, but timing wasn’t right. as to your dream job post, I was getting a bit jealous of your relationship with Mel, but I think the candyman turned me on more…LOL
My dream job? working in travel. being able to report & review so I could see all the beautiful places in the world.
I don’t have a blog so I can’t tweet or comment my URL, but if you pick me I will have no excuse but to get that blog up and running! Thanks

Hmmm. My dream job would probably have something to do with travel since the only places I usually go are wal-mart and target. 🙂
I have your blog added to my google reader. You had me wondering why you hadn’t mention before that you knew Mel.
LOL That was funny. I couldn’t believe the whole trash bag of candy, though. How could he carry it?
I don’t use TP.
My dream job is to be a midwife. But I don’t want it bad enough to go to 12 years of school. I’ll just keep popping out my own babies to get my fix.
I am not a type pad user but have considered it.
Loved your post! 🙂 I smiled at the end…
My Dream Job would be owning my own indie/clothing/yarn/fiber shop in some seaside New England town. 🙂

I don’t use TP or any paid host at this time.
How exciting would that have been if it were real? I love all the detail in your dream, it’s definitely easy to see that you’re a writer 😉
My two dream jobs would be children’s book author(which wouldnt be totally out of my reach) or something in forensics. I’m more a romantic/artsy girl but, I LOVE trying to figure out the whodunits!

I am not a user, but would like to be! My dream job would be the one where I get to be a blogger for 6 months while living free in Australia earning $100K! How awesome is that job? Unfortunately it requires a video application…aka: must be young, cute, and skinny! Alas, my hubby thinks I’m cute, but definitely can’t pull off the other requirements!
Sometimes I could use my own Candy Man. I could go for a Butterfinger right now, actually.
I am not a current TypePad user.
My dream job is what I am kind of working for (albeit very slowly). I would love to be a self employed freelance photographer while running a few of my own websites, doing some web design for others and getting paid to travel. Ok, so the getting paid to travel part is going to take a lot of work and wishing to achieve but if it’s a dream than that’s what I’m sticking to.
Thanks!

Dream Job…sigh…keep dreaming! Promoting Mel Gibson’s next movie would be a dream job. My favorite part, though, was the bag of chocolates! Now, that’s a good dream!

I am in my first day of the 14 day free trial of Typepad – haven’t as yet done much with it other than trying to decide my design and whether or not to use Typepad. My dream job would be something I could do in my pajamas…I loved your dream, made me smile!
No, I’m not currently using TP I don’t think anyway LOL. My dream job would be maybe a bridal or party planner. I really enjoy working with people and would love to help prepare their special days. What fun!!!
too funny .. i cracked up !!!
My dream job would be Restaurant or Hotel Reviewer … could be fun 🙂
thanx
I’m sadly not a current TP user, but this giveaway could change everything! : )))
Loved Dream Job!! LOL!!! : ))) I definitely have to send this to my sweetie! At least, it was a delicious dream! : )))
And, my dream job? I already have my dream job….I’m MAMA to this very cute guy (my ds), but would also love to be a MAMA to BEBE #2! : )))

Loved your post–don’t you hate it when you wake up from a dream like that?
Anyhow, my dream job would be a museum director–I’ve always loved museums and somehow having control of the collection sounds very appealing to me!

I’m not a TP user, but would like to try it out. The Dream Job post is great, but I really don’t know what mine would be. A job with international travel, b ut also a lot of time off would be fantastic!
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/ThriftyJinxy/status/1162992979
I’m not a current type pad user so I’m rather intrigued! I guess my dream job would be to be a proofreader for all varieties of books. I’m a chronic spellchecker/grammar fixer anyway, so it’d be a great job for me!
I was SO believing your dream story…ha. I would love to be able to open my own photography studio.
I do not use typepad at this time. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Blessings, Sherri
