What's at the top of your wish list?→[More:]Me - a vacation, either adventurous or super relaxing. Some furniture for the cavernous new casa.
1. finding NON stick-in-the-mud-conventional business types who will help me grow my unconventional business vision & not tell me No every single second because they're either scared or because of their That's-Not-How-It's_Done bullshittery.
- some good upholstery fabric, which is always more fun to find in a clearance bin or back-street fabric outlet.
- a bunch of ranunculus.
- new silicone spatulas.
- a little jolt of fresh inspiration --- just a little extra! --- to get my new writing project juiced up.
- lunch. Um, I guess at this point, that would be "dinner."
what are y'all gonna do with your big piles of money?
buy clothes. wine. lots of shoes and a great looking wooden thing to arrange them in. Try to help out immediate and extended family with medical or other bills. That's a tricky one. ummm. ummm.. can you buy girlfriends? I'd look into that too. lol.
learn to play guitar. travel more. cook more. see more shows. um. do all sorts of ridiculous social climbing or attempt it by being in the middle or contours of everything.
Those Radius Source toothbrushes are pretty neat. And I think it's about time for me to get a new toothbrush.
But they didn't have 'em at the Whole Foods. And if I have to drive all over town to find one, or if I have to order one on the Internet, it kinda defeats the purpose.
I would like for my house to magically clean and organize itself.
(With my pile of money, I'd go buy an old factory/warehouse the next town over, fix it up, install decent ventilation, partition it out, and turn it into space for local artists to have their studios at ridiculously sweet rents, or rent time on kilns, presses, forging ovens, etc, again at ridiculously sweet rents.)
- a cure for diabetes (both types)
- lose *mumble* pounds
- lots of money so: the mister can retire, we can re-do our house or buy another one, buy a second car, travel
A coworking facility for freelancers in my town (i.e. a big space with desks and a coffee machine). I don't think I have the entrepreneurial ability to start one myself.
