Lotteria

Every day on my way to the office, I pass that big billboard near the state line that announces the current Mega Millions jackpot (if I look in my rear view mirror as I pass it, I can see the Powerball jackpot on the opposite side of the board). Not infrequently, I spend a good portion of the rest of my journey down the tollway thinking about that

Probably something fairly simple to start: buy up a pretty big chunk of land and build a house with a pet-free smaller house close by for our friends/sweeties who're allergic. Certainly I'd pay off my outstanding debt and provide some for both my parents. I'd also throw a large chunk towards paying off the debts of my sweeties -- I worry when I hear that they're having problems and I really wish I could do something like this to help them.

Bigger pipe dreams? You know those lovely plots of green land around Kenosha (and elsewhere, really) that you see being torn down for "development?" (Keeping in mind that there's a large number of decaying buildings that could use tearing down a lot more than the trees and plains could.) I'd like to buy up one of those and NOT develop it.

You could finally see what's inside that big house next to you!
*grin*

You are a better person than I because you thought of your sweeties before building your house. I am too grumpy today, I guess!

*love*

Well, I don't know if that's 'before' so much as at the same time. I think I'd like the house next door, but I know it would need some renovation before I was completely happy with it.

Jake and I talk about this all the time! I would write the longest, nastiest letter that I have ever written in my life, and instead of burning it I would leave it on my boss’s desk. We would sell our house and our cars and we would buy houses for our close family and friends or pay off their mortgages. Then we’d tell them all we’ll see them in a year and hire a nanny and travel around the world with nanny and baby in tow.

OH! And I would hire a personal trainer and chef, since the only thing I know how to cook is a frozen pizza, and we all know how healthy those are.

Aside from the obvious (becoming debt-free, nice big house, plot of land large enough that I couldn't see my neighbors, monster internet pipe), I'd get a custom sword made for me (by AngelSword) and hire my sword-instructor to be my fitness consultant (since his day-job laid him off a while ago).

Nap sounds good, but then my fantasy everyday is to have a stress free day.

Buy or convert a house to be both energy-efficient AND feel like living in a castle. I want window-seats and a tower with windows to languish out of, rehearsal space with a proper dance floor and good acoustics. and a library with 2 stories and overstuffed velvet furniture. (and a cleaning service). While this was going on I'd live in England for a year.

Buy a smallish hybrid car. Get my allergies properly treated. Get Lasik. Take college classes and volunteer at libraries and animal shelters (once the allergies get treated).

And fund a Costume "scholarship", where a costumer can apply to get a grant to produce something wonderful and not have to worry about cost, and their work process would be documented online for others to benefit from.
