If I Were Rich...
Tagged by Pam!
I have a confession to make: Stuart and I play the lottery. By this I mean we buy a $1 Powerball ticket once every three or four months. It's hardly breaking the bank and far from qualifying as a gambling problem. But it's fun to hold that little slip of paper, waiting for the numbers to come up, and fantasize about what we're going to do with our millions once we win. Of course, we never actually win, and we're never actually disappointed when we don't. It's just fun to be goofy once in a while.
So here's what I would do if I had a lot of money (after the obvious boring stuff like paying off the mortgage and putting enough in a savings account for our child(ren) to attend a 4-year private college.)
1. I would build the coolest green friendly house ever with solar panels and geo-thermal heating and cooling and a rain water collection system, and it would have a huge sunny yard for a garden and maybe a goat and some chickens.
2. I would purchase a nice grand piano to put in it.
3. I just might spring for nice French wine every once in a while instead of 3-buck Chuck.
4. I would make it my personal mission to keep every local yarn store in business.
5. I would give some money to the UW School of Music so they could buy some really good Baroque string instruments. Yup, I would really do that.
6. I would buy myself a pair of bad-ass Doc Martens, the kind that are boots.
7. I would travel all over the world and learn at least two new languages. Heck, maybe three.
8. I would pay someone to invent a car that runs on compost.
9. I would buy Stuart some new corduroy pants, since all of his are nearly worn through in the knees. I'll probably do this even if we don't win the lottery.
10. I would buy Pam some new socks :)
11. I would buy the entire "Great Pianists of the Twentieth Century" series of recordings. I don't even know how many CDs that is, but it's a lot, more than 50.
12. I would get my hair cut at the kind of fancy salon where you get a scalp massage with your shampoo.
Anyone else care to do this? You're it!
