While I'm tired and have lost most of my inhibition, I'll just come out with it:
My dream is to own my own greenhouse.
I want to order plants in mass quantities from a catalog in the fall, plant little seeds in January to be big and bushy by April, breathe in the humidity when plants fill up every available space by Mother's Day, watch the leaves come out on trees, teach people about where to plant certain things... And, I want a greenhouse cat. Or two.
I know nothing about owning a small business, purchasing green things that come in on big trucks, or anything like that. And I understand it would be a ton of work. People who own businesses say they can never be "off."
But guess what? That's my life now. I am always on call — even when someone else is "scheduled." And I know what it's like to deal with difficult co-workers, employees, customers(/sources). Also: I know a bit about management.
And people. I'm a Capricorn, a journalist and a INFJ. I just KNOW about people.
I'm learning more and more about plants. And I love them.
And. Lastly. I did pass AP Calculus. Just barely. But that should count for something when it comes to finances and crap. I'm not dumb.
So, it's my dream.
That is all.

You should do it!! And if you're ever wanting some motivation to take the leap I have a book you need to read. I know that sounds odd ... but seriously, it's a good book.
I want to own an art gallery. I empathize in every way. It makes me feel more normal to know I'm not the only one who dreams of this kind of stuff, though.
Mine is a horse ranch where I bring in disabled children to have experiences the rest of us take for granted. I can easily see you running a greenhouse. :)
:) I like that dream for you.
Love your dream. And I can see you doing it too. Have fun pursuing it.
I can see you contentedly surrounded by earth and green things.
You could do this Emilie. Get the book Brooke is talking about. You can do this!!!
It's true, you could do this easy :) If you are ever interested, my aunt owns a greenhouse/store in Oregon and has 2 massive greenhouses in her backyard where she keeps some of her stock. I'm sure she'd love to talk to you about how she got started and what it all entails. She's nice :)
