What Was Your Major or Career?

I am 3 classes from getting my associates degree in general studies. Then, I will have to declare a major when I apply to a university. I know what I don't want to do (I am horrible at anything math related), but have no clue what I do want to do. I will get career counseling and take a personality test (myers briggs) to help me narrow it down. But I wanted to know *real world* experiences in the job field and if it relates to your major at all to give me some ideas, because I am stumped. So, if you feel like sharing. What did you major...

Disneyland for a 22 Month Old?

I am able to get into Disneyland for FREE on my birthday this year... and I really want to go!! But there are several questions/concerns.... my son will be 22 months at the time... is this too young? Will he actually enjoy it? What about naptime? Should I wait till he's a little bit older and maybe not taking naps? So I don't have to worry about a REALLY cranky toddler? My husband doesn't really want to go... I don't want to force him to go and then end up having a cranky little boy... The only person we'd have to pay for is my husband...

Suggestions for Investments in My Home

Okay ladies! I am getting the first-time homebuyers loan that they offered this year and I want to be wise with my money. I need windows and insulation that are first and foremost, but will have money left over. I am interested in anything that anyone thinks they can not live without and just really pays for itself. I need to get some things like a lawn mower and yard tools, but any other suggestions for investments as opposed to splurges or "nice things" would be great.
